An inconclusive bit about eating + stress

Some ppl must eat when stressed and some ppl can't. Does it say how we handle stress? If eating builds energy reserve in those that binge for future defense (meaning those ppl are reactive) vs ppl who can't eat because food is inhibitive of a future fight. Meaning ppl who eat when stressed processed food faster into reserves while those that can't eat, process it too slow or can't store it.

Somethings I think I can fly

You see those 20 story residential bldgs with a penthouse on top with a palm tree. Don't you sometimes feel like you can throw a blue racquetball up to the tree? from 2 short city block away.

Why?

The Myth of an XML being bigger

I suspect the use of that line of thought comes from the fact that that's what properties and xmls are used in practice. Naturally properties are used for configuration entries and xmls used for structural/more hierarchical data.

But if one was to use a property file to emulate structural data:

first.second.third.word=I
first.second.third.prep=am
first.second.third.verb=beating
first.second.third.object=you
first.second.third.over=!

it would take up more space than (after the 4th line) :

[first][second][third][word]I[/word][prep]am[/prep][verb]beating[/verb][object]you[/object][over]![/over][/third][/second][/first]

And if the data grows, it's competitive for more space. Stick w. xmls for hierarchical-oriented data even if there's no duplicating namespaces. Given the complexity already, there's a good chance it may go that way.

Why Exist?

Is the meaning of life the choice of self-consciousness? Given that if God is omnipotent and everything happens for a reason, then "why do it?". Just to play out what is known? or is life only half-predetermined. And the ultimate push is Not the flow of emotions but to know or not to know. Given a choice, would a supreme being choose to go through all that is known (every single interactions of inate atoms, emotion desires, etc). This binary decision filters down to us all and in the end this randomness and unanswerable question is what sets cosmos into a every growing ball of infinity and just all/or nothingness at opposite ends.

Better than a light coffee?

At times a dark coffee is too much, too strong. Poisonous perhaps. Try a half-coffee/half-tea. It's in between. Or even try putting a tea bag into a full cup of coffee

Who should manage the cleanup (for the future)

Right now, it appears that the oil companies themselves run their own clean-up efforts. Sure, for every day they don't fix it, they risk bad reputation and loss of oil. But I don't think that's equal to the environmental disaster and well-being of communities off-shore. So I propose that insurance companies pay for the preparation/training/and hopefully use of operations relating to clean-up to companies managed by 2 entities: 1) The Shore Communities and 2) The Environmentalists. The shore folk will have jurisdiction to prevent oil have reaching shore while the environmentalists manage the waste miles off-shore. During times of preparation, the oil companies would be responsible for paying those 2 entities in training expenses.

Sure, the gov't can do it but they got enough to think about.
