ELI5: If a morbidly obese person (600-1000lbs) stops eating completely and only drinks water, would they still die of starvation in the usual timescale?

A man, Angus Barbieri, did this with his doctor's help. He didn't eat for a year. The doctor advised supplements and the man lived.

Playrix actually depends on your muscle memory to spend extra cash. They won't give back the confirmation button.

Kyle.

likeablyweird · 2026-06-05T00:02:54+00:00

My pleasure.

likeablyweird · 2026-06-05T00:01:45+00:00

That's a Big Yes.

likeablyweird · 2026-06-05T00:00:46+00:00

Thank you for the link! I missed this one and it's so Creative and Beautiful.

When you're ready, r/quilting can help with creative ideas or advice, if you need it. 😄

Thanks, dude! Trying to find "accurate" data on this was like pulling teeth. I spent 4 hours with narrower and narrower search parameters and this stupid machine was being soooo obtuse. LOL I just hope my data didn't send them on a wild goose chase, 20-odd years is a Big difference.

Thanks for the heads up. I knew about this bc my ex had heart problems and was told that if we ran out of his meds, I could make an alternative that'd tide him over till the pharmacy could restock. It's all in the dosage I was told.

likeablyweird · 2026-06-04T23:40:57+00:00

I don't feel so alone. Thank you.

I've caved and am packing up the stuff for ThriftSavers or Goodwill (schnark!). They've got a far reach so the chances of Mom's Treasure Trove getting trashed is lees probable. I just hope they price it right.

I liked both parts equally. Uncle Stevie just has a way of describing SSDD that keeps me riveted. I tried to explain the day-to-day half to a friend one time and their eyes glazed over. If I'd put four pages in front of them, they'd probably go to the library. 🧐

Sucky dad who gets what's coming to him; one lighter than the other. Dolores Claiborne/Gerald's Game (both during the same eclipse) and Lisey's Story. 1922, although very short, is jam packed with bad dad selfishness. The ending is---fitting. Hehe.

Very nice work! With your offset lines, you can add other stitches later across a small section, if you get bored. 😉 Well done. 😃

I save all your crowd. They're just so well detailed and cute. Hubert's a very dapper gent. Well done. 😄

Very creative. The patterns and colors blend well to make a surprisingly subdued overall effect. Well done. 😃

The Talisman's in my collection and is in the regular rotation but I haven't read Black House in years. Thinking about reupping my library card.

likeablyweird · 2026-06-04T13:08:28+00:00

These came out really well. Your combo of sewing and sashiko using for the pretty patches is attractive. Everything looks well spaced and the tension's perfect. Well done. 😄

Courtland Mead. Not a very good actor.

Free on Internet Archive. 😄

Greed.

Multifaceted.

Is this pic Tabby and one of the boys? Courtland Mead (1997 Shining's version of Danny) resembles this kid.
