“Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight?
Body fat is hard to lose because the body automatically burns the easiest energy source first—blood glucose; when blood glucose gets too low, the body then uses the next easiest source of energy—glycogen in the liver—which converts back to glucose and goes into the bloodstream. Then and only then, after the liver is depleted of glycogen, does the body begin to use body fat. That is why body fat is so hard to get rid of. It’s the last source of energy used and is also a very stable molecule that is hard to break down.

You can gain weight easily simply by putting more glucose in your bloodstream than you need for your current activity or inactivity. But it’s harder to lose weight because body fat is the last source of energy your body uses. This is the very reason that you can gain weight quickly, but losing weight takes longer. ”

“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Ito finally, who had been keeping very quiet up to this point. “Indeed. How much will it cost?” asked Brown “About twenty million Interplanetary Credits,” said Demba. “A modest investment for a man of your means.” “Indeed,” said Brown again. That was all the money he had, which started to strike him as strange, when his thoughts were interrupted. “We’ll arrange a visit to the mine,” said Ito. “Show you the place itself.” “Indeed,” said Brown. Or had he said that? The strange waking memory he had fallen into started to become repetitive. Reality started to flow back in. Diamonds, thought Brown. All those diamonds in that mine.”

“It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law. This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny... Although the political liberty of this country is greater than that of nearly every other civilized nation, its personal liberty is said to be less. In other words, men are thought to be more under the control of extra-legal authorities and to defer more to those around them, in pursuing even their lawful and innocent occupations, than in almost every other country... It is not difficult to trace the causes of such a state of things, but the evil is none the less because it is satisfactorily explained.”
― James Fenimore Cooper

I have a low opinion of this view of the relationship between man and wife, because it makes the wife and the prostitute distinguishable only insofar as the former is able to secure a lifelong contract from the man because of her more favourable social rank . . . Which”
