I think I've tried most combinations to be honest ;) I change my diet depending on my goals. For example, I will start upping the carbs (probably to 40% or so) soon due to change in exercise schedule and the carb requirements for explo

It is not the low-carb by itself, is the whole magic around low-carb that people defend without much scientific basis. That and when talking about low-carb, they are actually comparing highly processed crap carbs vs healthy semi lean meats&

I wish people stopped saying this. I do well on a low carb diet, but seriously, I'll eat a pound of bacon (900 kcal) in one sitting if I don't stop myself. I can eat a pound of entrecot easily as well (960 kcal) and still stuff my

Maybe that is the difference... I don't see as doing them a favour, I see it as sharing it with them... If you have a 250k car, you aren't going to buy one for each of your friends, sure, but if any of them calls you asking to tak

That is an interesting point, though not really applicable to my family as far as I know (yes, my father had it harder then my cousin or myself, as I think most parents do, but as for siblings, not really) My close and extended family were

I'm not op, but will tell two stories that may interest you. My cousin, mid 30's has FU money. Took him around 8-9 years of hard work (not in technology). He's the guy that buys a 5k rolex (or whatever big brand of watches) f

I don't right now, but from my times when competing, I used to read a lot of science based research on nutrition and there was a study that said swishing a carb rich liquid was enough to trigger it. I think I first saw it referenced on

That is an excellent point, and very fitting. If you take in account 80k is current salary, and most likely started at 40k and over 20 years raised it (lets say linearly), making an average of 60k over those 20 years, and paying high taxes,

by BSousa 12y ago
The thing you have to understand, 80k USD is a very very very high salary for most people (even developers) in Europe. And the ones that make that can most likely see 1/2 of that go away in taxes/social security. Cost of living wi

I feel sorry for you, I really do! Not knowing the details of your contract I can't say for sure, but with the recent changes in employment law in Portugal, I think legally (not ethically) they maybe in the right. I can put you in cont

Ever had a chat with them and change the work arrangements from freelance to contracting? This way they pay you a fixed sum per day/week, and you can give them updates on the tasks as they go, without having to fight over 1 hour for th

This a million times. For me visual distractions (even if it is just people walking) are a lot worse than noise. I can tune out the chatter but whenever I feel or see movement around me, my head snaps to attention to find out what it is. So
