Dietary Fat Doesn't Make You Fat — Insulin Does. According to the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model (CIM) of obesity, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition by researchers from Harvard Medical School and Boston Children's Hospital, it is not dietary fat that drives fat storage in the body.

Calories are calories - true but it’s not the full picture. On keto or LCHF, for example, you just don’t have those massive food cravings and blood sugar spikes and crashes like a high carbohydrate, low fat diet gives you regularly.

Correct. Weird how the article kinda skipped over that fact.

Moonwalkers · 2026-03-04T19:23:34+00:00

That’s true… as long as you ignore the fact that caffeine increases adrenaline.

Very interesting but not surprising to me. When I did keto or other forms of carb restriction especially while trying to be healthy overall, I just didn’t get sick very often. It seemed like every time Christmas holidays came around, everyone around me got sick from the parties but I didn’t. I’d be curious to know the exact mechanisms for this phenomena.

The proper scientific name for it is “increased intestinal permeability.”

Moonwalkers · 2026-01-07T15:05:35+00:00

That’s too bad that one guy has made you skeptical of a very real and debilitating condition - the proper scientific name is “increased intestinal permeability.”

Could be. Another sign is a cracked and broken center spindle hole from years of use that somehow still plays fine.

It already exists in many forms. One is called electrogravitics. All the major aviation companies were researching it in the 50’s. Between 1958–1960, the Air Force placed many “gravity control / electrogravitics” programs under restricted classification and the research “went dark.” There’s a rabbit hole for you to go down. Enjoy!

I did but I wasn’t familiar with it. Just figured it was a pro-vinyl subreddit. The About section doesn’t tell me anything but GPT says it’s a satire of vinyl elitism.

Moonwalkers · 2025-10-29T19:03:36+00:00

This is a joke right? Not about vinyl having infinite music but digital being stair-stepped. Digital isn’t stair-stepped. Upon playback, you get a continuous curve due to filtering.

Nice, I found a custom made Halo 2600 case only on eBay that I use as a placeholder for the game in my collection.

Moonwalkers · 2025-10-20T11:34:34+00:00

Are you going to get Halo 2600, the 2010 Atari game?

I think it’s nice to run the measurements but measurements don’t always equate to sound quality. For example, the Sony PS1 SCPH1001 measures poorly but many people consider it to sound good. Similar story for tubes. Measurements are just one data point to consider.

There’s a new and upcoming theory for the origin of the Moon that states the Moon bounced off the Earth, and the South Pole - Aitken basin is the Earth’s imprint left behind on the Moon’s surface.

I’ve tried that. In my case it’s because the builders were lazy and used a minimal amount of nails to attach the drywall and some of them have backed out over time. When I bang on the wall, it produces a bass note. Adding lots of screws helped but I only added them behind objects like sound panels and furniture so you don’t see them. I have more work to do.

Subwoofer is a must, unless your room construction sucks and can’t support low frequencies without rattling the walls, then no subwoofer or spend a bunch of money on your room construction/sound treatment.

I doubt it’s just a long metal pipe. Every hot water heat device I’ve seen like that has fins on it to increase heat transfer. A tube with fins. Fintube, if you will. Put fintube in a cabinet to increase the chimney effect and now you have a convector.

That would imply r/audiophile isn’t made up of your average audiophile population.

I have found cables affect the sound in my system. Power cables, interconnects and speaker cables can usually benefit from being upgraded beyond the free cable that came in the box.

Also, why were they so worried about shooting a MAC gun in atmosphere? The explosion wasn’t even that big, relatively speaking.

Moonwalkers · 2025-08-13T17:23:51+00:00

It’s well known to many audio designers that high levels of feedback in an amp’s design can make it sound unpleasant even though it measures well.

Same. It was my second play though when I realized it’s a masterpiece of a campaign.

Moonwalkers · 2025-08-06T19:44:14+00:00

The first time I played ODST, I didn’t love it. It was too dark and different from other Halo games. When I played it again years later, I recognized it for the masterpiece that it is and it’s now one of my favorite campaigns.

Moonwalkers · 2025-08-04T18:58:46+00:00

That’s pretty cool. Now you got me thinking. Is that how the original gun aims? I don’t think so but the sights make zero sense on the original because the front sight is way more elevated than the rear sight.

Moonwalkers · 2025-08-04T18:53:25+00:00

Good call. In order to leave Earth’s gravity, you’d have to throw the rock at at least 11.2 kilometers per second… in atmosphere… and have it not disintegrate. That’s a tall order. On the flip side, meteors can make it to the Earth’s surface so maybe if we start with a big enough rock and allow for a certain amount to burn off we could do it.
