I used to do that in the swimming pool (I have always lived far inland) it's often called dangerous on the mistaken belief that it's like shallow water drowning where someone hyperventilates to swim underwater longer; since those people have blown off so much CO2 they don't get a signal to breathe and suffocate.

Our method doesn't involve hyperventilation, and wow does the need to breathe get strong

Linux uses "magic numbers" to determine file types, extensions are just for people who like them and MS Windows

For shell scripts the magic number is '#!' and is always followed by the path to the shell that interprets the script type (eg the first line might be '#!/bin/bash')

Yes. Bash is descended from sh, and will run sh scripts, but it isn't sh

Adelaide water does make good beer though

Their drinking water has gotten better, it's now "ok"

There's even data showing keto is bad unless there's a medical need for it.

Please give us enough to look it up. Title and lead researcher is enough if you don't have a link

All of the scientific tests will compare people with a medical condition. No one can get ethics approval to put healthy people on a weird diet

Type 2 diabetes studies at least shows that it reverses metabolic disorder; this implies the diet won't kill you (a) quickly or (b) with metabolic disorder, which makes it better than the standard American diet

The only one I know of that addressed healthy people was the lean mass hyper responder/Miami heart health comparison (the LMHR study) which compared arterial calcium between long term carnivore dieters with the general population. LMHR people have very high cholesterol and the study mapped their cholesterol to cardiac calcium versus the general population's cholesterol and cardiac calcium

But that's just one biomarker and is only useful if your worry is cardiac disease.

Atkins wasn't no carb. The most restrictive Atkins diet required 20g of net carbs per day, and it got less restrictive quickly.

Internet keto follows the most restrictive Atkins diet, or sometimes limits people to 20g total carbs (as opposed to Atkins' net carbs). Medical keto is like internet keto but adds highly ketogenic MCT fats

The only people prescribed medical keto are those getting it for mental illness, diet tests usually use internet keto

I didn't see my doctor between moving from keto to carnivore, and settling into carnivore about a year later, and described it as "very low carb"

He told me I would be dead in a year if I didn't go on statins due to high cholesterol I said no thanks, please look up the cholesterol-energy hypothesis; my cholesterol is moving my fat to my muscles.

I don't think he has yet looked up the cholesterol-energy hypothesis
