I'm practising Total Immersion - however it's not a total walk in the park towards happy swimming as described by Tim Ferriss ( http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/08/13/total-immers... ) . It's a great technique and I improved vastly

A nitpick: the amount of sit-ups you can do does not correlate well with the six-packness. At 20ish% body fat it's possible to train yourself for a huge amount of sit-ups, but your abs still would not be too visible. If you have an ability

Cheating on your wife is a mistake I can't imagine the circumstances where that's true. In general, you'd have at least a few hours to decide and change your mind. In most cases it wouldn't happen at all unless you actively show your inte

I was contemplating on buying the Kindle Fire, but now I just have to buy it ... The voices "pro" and "contra" have split into almost precise 50/50 - now I just need to have the device so I can make a decision myself. I don't have any book

It's not really gaming the system. He solved the problems, himself. He asked questions, learned and then came up with more and more effective solutions. Aren't these exactly the traits an employer should be looking for? Didn't he put a lot

I'm wondering if this fact is indeed unique to polar bears. Did they check other mammals that live in similar conditions, i.e. Arctic fox would be a candidate.

My guess would be that they want to see if a candidate is cleanly shaved, neatly dressed and can communicate in person?

Well I'm not eating breakfast quite often and it does not affect me in any negative way - more like the opposite. If it took you 18+ years to feel negative effects of not having breakfast, I would probably check any other changes that happe

It's a shame that's being downvoted ... I heard multiple people (who do proper weight training) complain about the fact their jeans or trousers get worn fast because their hips are well-developed and sort of brush against each other when th

if you're not meant to be there, you're guilty of an offence. But how would I know? If someone's private property is not marked as such in any way, would I be a trespasser if I wander into it? Let's say it's part of a field or a forest, n

On the other hand, if your idea generates a lot of hostility it does not necessarily mean that it's creative or beneficial.

There's a lot of useful advice here, and I'll do my best to action on this ... The most important part will be to get enough discipline to apply the system - a challenge in itself!

Instead it returns some generally useless results that are likely not at all what the user desired If the user entered "9999999..99999999999999999999999" in the search box, what would you say he desired to get in return? Serious question,

Wouldn't they have multiple candidates that satisfy the "did nothing stupid" requirement most of the time?

- Piscetarians have lower rates of heart disease than both vegans and occasional meat eaters Would you have a link for that? I'd add it to my collection for future diet discussions ...

Well, I would say that it's understandable for a layperson, logically sound and has heaps of links to peer reviewed literature. This alone brings it to the top 1% of everything written on the subject. Based on this, I think I'll eat what t

there is nothing wrong with unprocessed grains/legumes if eaten in moderation It probably depends on one's definition of "nothing wrong". The fact that grains, whole or not, are packed with antinutrients like gluten, phytic acid or lectin

I'm a person who starts sweating easily, so there's a high chance I'd feel at least some discomfort after. On the other hand, if the exercise is mild enough not to make me sweat, it's probably next to useless for me.
