    They don't mention it here, but I think they might on a different post? Rivers are going to show up more in a monospace font (which your link points out), so that would make sense.…

    I've always been annoyed by the way html treats whitespace. Having more space between sentences is so much more readable.

    Add a charachorder to this and you'll be typing crazy fast.

    Doesn't stenotype also have chording though?

    You can turn that feature off on Android phones.

    The main use of computers in school should be teaching typing, word processing (and it probably should be with Word), number crunching and mathematics, and perhaps a little bit of …

    Honestly, for adults too, pen and paper is often a better solution. Word processing and number crunching are the main use cases for a computer and I think kids should learn these t…

    Some people are scared of fat (or the associated calories). From the blogs/ads about the creami, it seems that's the main reason people have.

    Huh, I'm skeptical, but if a low-fat ice cream substitute really can be just as creamy as real ice cream then I guess I'm OK with people liking it. I'd love to try it one day, but …

    Here is the relevant table. It seems that it's not compared to none, but rather compared to less than one serving per month. https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/…

    Also, why would you want to defile the ice cream that already apparently lowers the risk of diabetes, haha.

    That seems strange that the fat isn't contributing anything. The creamy mouthfeel is one of the reasons ice cream is so much better than "frozen dairy desert" or lots of frozen yog…

    You do realize that the article that these comments are for is suggesting that maybe ice cream as it is now reduces the risk of diabetes. Maybe we shouldn't be claiming that low-X …

    I'm pretty sure there's more than mood going on here. Why is there not a "soda effect"?

    I wouldn't be surprised if lower sugar ice cream is more effective (if there is a real, meaningful ice cream effect), but I think there is a lot more than just sugar leading to dia…

    Who is telling type 2 diabetics that they are going to die a horrible death from eating ice cream?

    I don't know if keto ice cream is good for diabetes.

    Haha, I can explain (2): they are a nutrition scientist! In all seriousness, they precede that quote by saying: "it’s got fat, it’s got protein, it’s got vitamins." So I think it's…
