I'm starting to see lots of paranoid reports of people who think they have it but don't. Damnit, Channel 2 that is not news! I hate pandemic scares.Did you see channel 5's story about the plane medical emergency? "Ebola scare quarantines Nashville flight, person has no contact with ebola and there was no concern they had it, but ebola caused the quarantine anyway! "
What fruit should one eat to cure HIV?Fruits are what cause HIV. Without the fruits, God wouldn't punish man with this horrible disease.
You can certainly die from eating too many carrots, too much cinnamon, and a lot of other natural things. Not to mention that a lot of natural plants are toxic in even the smallest doses, such as several species of mushrooms (I know, fungus not plant).Tom, you can and will die from severe overdose of literally anything. Even drinking too much water is deadly. There is nothing you can overdose from and not suffer any ill effects. That is why it is called overdose in the first place.
No you cant. The bowel does not absorb everything you eat. Water is an exception to the rule, as water molecules are incredibly tiny and small enough to fit through the filter of the bowels. The bowel filters and manages input on a compound level, not on an atomic one. The filter of the bowels can't be too small, else the bigger and more complex vitamins and nutrients could not be absorbed. The filters of the small bowel aren't small enough to manage water and electrolytes, which is why you might occasionally hear of someone dying of water overdoes, or of a substance containing lots of electrolytes such as sodium.
No one dies of strawberry overdose. If you ate too many strawberries your body would simply reject it. You will be ill from the vomiting and diarrhea, but you will not die. Maybe your body would starve or dehydrate itself to death if you ate so many strawberries for such a prolonged time and no other liquids, fats, enzymes, or nutrients from other sources. But as far as things like "strawberry toxicity," it does not exist.
It's really a little more like the difference between having a handle lock which can be opened using a card or having deadbolts which need a skilled hand. Someone can run scripts to force a password, especially since iCloud apparently didn't lock you out after x number of attempts. It's easier to force that password when it is a name or word, especially something that is readily known by the public. This is why a combination of upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters is suggested and that they be in no particular order and something not easily guessed. You don't have to know the process of hacking an account to know good ways to safeguard one.But their photos were password protected, so the door was locked.Well, not really. A bad password is more akin to a door handle. It provides fantastic security assuming the person trying to break in doesn't have hands (Actually, that's untrue. My cat knows how to open doors, being the sneaky hacker that she is).
Our society is just painfully computer-illiterate.
Oh no, not this shit again. Knowing how to break past password protections is not a good measure of computer literacy, and it's certainly not comparable to not having hands. This is just more arrogant - you know what, I've already said all this. All I need to do is quote myself:Hey, look, yet another thread in which people simply can't understand why their own area of interest/expertise isn't universally acknowledged as basic common knowledge and shared by the whole world. I'd love to be present the next time one of you has car problems:
"What, you can't fix it? You don't even know what the problem is? You're actually calling a garage? [Insert shitty "mfw Guest mehmay here] But it's so easy! It's objectively trivial to fix an engine and get a car running! Any drooling retard could do it! There are kids who can handle things like this easily, and you can't! How do you even manage to feed yourself when you're this stupid?"
The car analogy wasn't a random example, by the way. I've always been amused by how little overlap there is between computer and car enthusiasts, even though many of the arguments that computer nerds make about how their own interest is objectively better and more important than anyone else's could just as easily apply to cars as well as computers. They're both incredibly important. We use them both almost every day. Modern society would most likely collapse without either of them. And yet, precious few nerds would have the slightest idea of what they were looking at if they popped the hood of their car open, let alone know how to fix any problems with it. But of course, that kind of ignorance is totally okay. You're only an incompetent idiot if you aren't a computer expert.
