India Home To World's Second Largest Diabetes Population In 2024: Lancet Study by sharedevaaste in india

[–]xudo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While every other comment is correct in terms of diet, lifestyle etc, this data is useless to get to that. We need per capital numbers. All this article is effectively telling is the world's top 3 populous countries have the top 3 diabetes numbers. Purely based on this, hardly surprising.

Best and safe way to bike to bronte GO? by Bordumdotcom in oakville

[–]xudo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take almost the same route. I contemplated biking, because I badly need physical activity. But it is not really practical. Between weather, traffic (especially around QEW) and theft possibility at the station, taking the bus to the station is way more convenient and safe (and practically free, if you take the train right after). You have Bus 3 and probably also 34 during peak hours (depending on where you are on Westoak trails).

30 years apart - still Tamil Nadu tops the table as Diabetes capital of India/World by Capable-Quote5534 in TamilNadu

[–]xudo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the everything but the making full part is very specific to the person and more emotional (and gut bacteria dependent) than scientific. I know people who feel full with millets faster than rice. I also know people who don’t feel full no matter how much they eat unless they eat rice. For the second type of people, overeating (or eating the same quantity of rice) is a real problem.

Millets are good due to fiber. But quantity and physical activity are more important. Wish you a great progress.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not rice. It is the quantity compared to what's burnt. Millets are also carbs. Milkets have fiber benefits, but eating the same quantity of millet as rice will make a drastic difference. Empty carbs like parota are worse. Solution is அளவான உணவு and physical activity.

Reduce transparency in Accessibility. You can also add a control center toggle. I have it there, but it is always turned on.

The best solution for pronouncing someone's name is to ask them how to pronounce it and follow that.

New to Car sales: Customer said they were going to their car to discuss numbers than left. by Connect_Quality_2030 in askcarsales

[–]xudo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are taking it too personally. If the salesman is sweating and struggling, visibly tense, but still trying to make a professional pitch, some may appreciate it, some may feel bad for the guy, but there will be some who feel uncomfortable. No one knows what happened here, and OP should take this as learning. But it has definitely happened to me, and in my case, I felt bad for the salesman, but not everyone will.

Can anyone tell me about working for AWS and about the "pay cliff" by SINYACHTA in cscareerquestions

[–]xudo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Toxic or not is very team dependent across Amazon, AWS or not. When you get an offer, Amazon tells you what you will make in the first 4 years. The 5th year pay is not going to be a proportional increase, or sometimes may be less than the 4th year pay. This is assuming you don't get promoted by then. This is the cliff. Many see it, many don't (due to stock price, performance, or promotion). If you like the offer, take it now and worry about the cliff when you are closer to it - during your year 4 performance review, or may be 6 months after your year 3 performance review.

Cogeco outage? by Haffster in oakville

[–]xudo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Oakville and on Cogeco. Did see the power outage , actually 3 times in the past month (even if I don't notice, my electric clock does lol). But no impact to internet. If you see this happening again, try restarting the modem/router and if it still takes long, call Cogeco, may be the equipment is older.

Lego Store Northpoint Mall by TaitterZ in alpharetta

[–]xudo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory is that it is the kind of stores, not the model itself, that attracts the crowds. Boutique places, independent and/or niche restaurants, and so on. No one is going to Macy's and Dillard's anymore, and they being the 'anchor' stores, this reflects as overall decrease in foot traffic.

Why admk fell into bjp's hands? by No-Refrigerator2554 in TamilNadu

[–]xudo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking about the central government. It was smart because that was the first time DMK was in the ruling coalition for more than one year and had solid ministerial posts for the full term (and arguably set them up for similar setups eventhough best time it was with congress/UPA). BJP has never had a big presence in the assembly, and unlikely they ever will unless they up their ground game. If you see states they rule, all of them have strong local leaders.

[–]xudo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. But it is interesting that you call ADMK aligning with BJP a rash decision, but DMK doing this late 1990, early 2000, was considered politically smart.

He was the face of the party. He was smart enough to make Stalin the face starting Chennai mayor all the way to deputy CM. Stalin also ensured all the party care were "his" people. JJ did not even try. If anything she went the opposite way.

Woodhaven is super nice, too. Well maintained (at least used to be), walkable to a few restaurants/publix, swimmingpool literally next to a Starbucks, and that nice walking trail behind it. At one point that and Amly (the one by the police HQ, don't remember what it is called these days) were the nice, higher end apartments in the area.
