Nobody wants to interact with me, can't speak for the grandparent, but not everybody has the same options as everybody else. With me, people have a visceral reaction of extreme dislike upon first meeting me, so I have to work twice as hard, and when "friendship" is so ephemeral it's a lot of work for little long term reward, tbh.
Thanks for the downvote, if she was saying that, why did she say "Everybody Knows" rather than "Everybody Knew." No, I see a distinct verbal jab in that statement, but whatever, I'd downvote her if I could, but you in power like to keep everybody but those in the click down by downvoting even when we contribute to the conversation. Hey, I have 351 karma, why don't you get your friends over here and bring me down to nothing!
"After all, "everyone knows" that blacks are inferior and only useful as slaves (they even want to be, deep down); "everyone knows" that women are too temperamental to vote sensibly; "everyone knows" that people of that religion over there eat babies and we should destroy them before they destroy us..."
This is simply not true at all these days, and I don't like that HN users would push a normal conversation into one where you imply your "opponent" is racist, sexist, or a religious bigot. Might as well have called me a Nazi or brought Hitler into the conversation.
And I don't believe you need Psychologists or a peer reviewed study to discern mobile platform usage, we have other ways to getting said metrics.
My place of employment was funded a grant, and did a study to show that teens were using mobile devices more often than they did years ago (I don't remember the timeframe). I believe they got something like a 200k+ grant for this. A team of like 10 PhD psychologists to show something we already know.
Not saying psychology as a field is pointless, or anything, just that they do occasionally do some silly studies.
Wow, are those transponders still that big or is that an older model? We have Good2Go here in the Seattle area, and the little RFID cards are about as big as a credit card (though a bit thinner I think).
I paid almost that for my current router[0]. I think mine has better specs, even not being an AC (few, if none, of my devices use it anyway). Google's hub has no USB ports, no guest wifi (from what I can gather). Mine, however, has those things, though to be honest, most of the time, the printer or USB storage doesn't quite work right, though that could because I use a Mac and the driver's aren't supported as well.
Closest that I could find was: "Talent is nurtured in solitude … A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude."
It seems more that Curcumin that isn't passed into the kidneys can pass the blood-brain barrier[0], and you can help prevent that by taking it with piperine; most formulations, at least on Amazon, have piperine in it, if it doesn't take it with some black peppercorns. It appears the only difference between most formulations and Longvida is that they pair it with coconut oil? That's what I could gather from their formulation, they don't even list piperine.
I'm skeptical of the brand in particular, not in the sense that it's bio-available, but their claim that only their brand crosses the blood-brain barrier[1][2].
I love hill sprints. It's Anaerobic, but it still stresses your cardiovascular system, so it's a decent replacement. I also do jump rope in lieu of running on top of sprints/hill sprints.
I agree, he doesn't. However, I wouldn't discount somebody as being a lifter because they are pudgy. This guy[0] (the really large one) was the first person to bench over 1000 lbs[1].
To expand upon this, typically, people at that age have learned moderation or are teetotalers due to choice or recovery. Not a lot of binge drinking woo-boys/girls in their mid to late 30s and beyond, and the exceptions to that rule are probably faced with some societal judgement. The alcoholics (more so the ones in denial) and the one-off regular drinkers that scoff at teetotalers are probably the only judgement giving ones.
I was probably getting close to alcoholism myself and felt touchy around people that didn't drink (well, only the ones that announced it every chance they got, but then it feels like a judgement not a statement). I drank every day basically (and not ONE beer either), but when I went to moderate myself it wasn't too difficult; now I drink less than a handful of times a month.
Weight loss is slow, but there are other benefits that might make it more palatable. I'm 5'9, currently 230, was 240+ (weighed myself after I started losing, so maybe 245), just those 10-15lbs have helped my sleep enormously. I have about 60lbs more to go until I'm at a comfortable weight, and this will take a long time (Should reach my goal by Feb '16). At my weight though, 3lbs of loss a week isn't that uncomfortable. I still eat 1500-1800kcal a day which, depending on what I eat that day, fills me up quite nicely.
I agree with your other points, but I'd say that getting a CPAP is probably a good idea, but that losing weight could make that unnecessary down the road and there are a myriad of other benefits.
I'm not entirely sure, I mean, from my level of understanding it could all be relatively faked data and I wouldn't know any different. They claim they do quality review[0] and you can compare them to some of the competition[1], and they don't offer anything except genealogy records and your results in a big file you can download. You can use that information to parse on other sites for medical things (there's quite a few sites that take the data file as an upload, actually). I'd be interested in reading a more comprehensive audit though.
Interestingly, if you use 23andMe's genetic analysis service, it'll tell you how much Neanderthal DNA you have. The average European has 2.7% (I have 3.2%).
It's not liquid, but Quest bars taste pretty good, and are gluten free and free of soy proteins. It's not quite the same as soylent, of course, there's no real added vitamins and minerals, but it makes a decent lunch (I eat 1 or 2 every day for lunch - two a day during the week, one a day on the weekend).
No mention of Avocado Oil? I find this oil tastes great and looks like it has a ~500F smoke point. It's similarly "good for you" like Olive oil and is relatively inexpensive at Costco (though nowhere near as cheap as Canola or Peanut oil).
Hmm, I 'get' the fear of that, it's not unreasonable, but not going into nature to avoid a small chance of lyme disease seems shortsighted. Like others said, it's curable, and the tick has to be on you for 24 hours, and it's not like a guaranteed thing[0]. Just check when you get home at the least. Bug sprays and whatnot work great too (check out Lemon Eucalyptus oil, it's as strong as DEET but without any side effects according to the CDC and it's pretty inexpensive on Amazon).
That said, I get it, I avoid skiing with the same fervor; too much risk of bodily harm for little reward, also things like tree wells and avalanches? No thanks. People look at me as weird as you probably feel we are looking at you. (it's also expensive, so there's that excuse)
My wife and I moved to the Puget Sound area in 2009, and I've not regretted a single moment. We moved from the KCMO area and it's like night and day. People simply seem to care more about nature and outdoor activities than in MO. When we had a son, my parents moved out here to be nearby as he grows up (and watch him while we work); they don't regret a thing either, they love it here as well.
Even if you don't travel around going to the state and national parks, there's a ton of regional parks with trails, trails all over for biking and walking and a lot of nature all around.
I mean... it rains here all the time, and, and, earthquakes and volcanoes, it's probably a bad idea to move here. ;)
