Cut out carbs and you’ll get to noon without feeling hungry at all.

Breakfast means break - fast. You fast while you’re sleeping. Not eating until noon lengthens your fast.

This isn’t true. Not all calories are the same. Some spike insulin, the hormone that is responsible for storing fat, much more than others. Also if I eat 1800 carb heavy calories every day, I’m extremely hungry all the time. If I eat 1800 fat heavy calories every day, I feel satiated. It’s thanks to ketosis and being fat adapted.
Side note, I lost 80 pounds on a low fat diet, gained it back, then lost 80 pounds on a low carb diet so I know from personal experience.

Once you cut out carbs it’s 1000x easier.

I own because I like knowing I can modify my living space however I like. I took out a bedroom to make a home theater, could never do that renting. There are definitely advantages to home ownership psychologically that can’t be defined in a dollar figure.
His main point though was that renting isn’t throwing money away. I say if renting is the better option for you then who cares?

I feel the same way about my Klipsch computer speakers. I saw them for sale at Best Buy the other day and they looked exactly the same. I've had mine for at least 7 or 8 years and still sound great.

I agree. Owned one for a couple years. Everything was great as long as you don't run over chewing gum because you might get stuck.

A lot of Mongo DB bashing on HA. We use it and I love it. Of course we have a dataset suited perfectly for Mongo - large documents with little relational data. We paid $0 and quickly and easily configured a 3 node HA cluster that is easy to maintain and performs great.
Remember, not all software needs to scale to millions of users so something affordable and easy to install, use, and maintain makes a lot of sense. Long story short, use the best tool for the job.

In the meantime there's the co library which provides the next best thing using yield.

The point is that saying that fat loss is as simple as calories in, calories out is unhelpful and not really true.
Also the whole point of losing weight is to be healthy. If you lost weight eating twinkies you might be skinnier but you are going to have a whole host of other health problems like high blood pressure, cancer, and heart disease.
