It’s to measure insulin response in diabetic people. Also it’s not plain, it’s pumpkin spice! :p

The goal is to give someone under monitoring a very large volume of sugar in a controlled environment and measure their body’s insulin response. This is particularly a test of Phase I insulin response when your body responds to sugar intake by releasing stored insulin as opposed to Phase II insulin response where your body secretes insulin as it is produced to bring down elevated blood sugar after the Phase I stores are depleted.

That said this is a nutty amount of sugar and I had no idea that they made them this large.

I wanted to buy $100 of bitcoin in HS and couldn’t figure out how. Would have been like $60,000,000 :ccc

I think Richard Powers is a sex weirdo who comes up with elaborate novel structures to contain his tulpa gf’s in. I was really put off by the woman in the last short story who goes from bimbo to sexy ghost. That felt prototypical for how he sees women.

The short stories were beautiful but the novel itself felt poorly executed with a lot of cut plot threads.

Alright but look at how much they pay the authors. What other business pays ZERO dollars for their core product?

They’re tripping for real. Like genuine misanthropy that has no place in education in a just world. Seriously big props to you for being open and honest! I’m not sure what age range you work with but learning about ‘love and logic’ as a framework has helped me a lot as a teacher in terms of setting boundaries and expectations in a fair and non-coercive way.

welcome to the club comrade! The important thing to remember is to have grace for your own learning. Congratulations on realizing it is happening and centering it! It’s amazing and humbling and gratifying how much students know about they need from you to learn.

Anarchism is liberalism. The fetish for ‘autonomy’ is the highest ideal of Liberal personal freedom.

It’s literally not; the link to his essay is active and it’s included in full in the article, but I’m going to embed it here in case anyone else is going to be as intellectually lazy as you.
