   If you want to teach someone a lesson, you don't start out by telling them they are stupid. I think it depends on the person. Let's consider two scenarios. 1. "Never fill in your details on suspicious sites." 2. "You recently filled in yo

   Looks true from my experience. During the period of transition from Soviet Union to Russia, whenever people were anticipating any news from the government, salt, sugar, coffee, matches disappeared from the shops very quickly. Every family

   Oh, isn't it funny ... the common negatives for Modafinil "Irritability, tunnel vision, panic, adverse skin reactions (rare), talking to yourself, circular thoughts, emotional dulling." So, other than skin reaction, which is rare, I'm not g

   An important factor is if I need that to do some paid work and urgently or is it something without a deadline. Generally, I would know quite soon by a google search if the problem is a common one or something very specific. If I see several

   I ordered some Modafinil/Provigil from http://www.biogenesis-antiaging.com recently. It took it about 2 weeks to reach Australia. The package contained a note "was opened by customs for inspection" but the pills were left intact so I gues

    Actually I just googled it out of interest and the top links for "Little Odessa" ("Маленькая Одесса") point to the movie with that name ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110365/ ). Maybe that's how the nickname became widespread?

    I used to take 3000IU in the morning and 3000IU in the evening regularly (but not for a long time - for a few months, maybe 4-5). I can't point and say "i felt better here and here" though. I didn't feel any negative effect too. I'm still t

    Also, how fit will I be age 50, to play soccer with my boy? Please try to use this as a source of motivation for staying fit, rather than as a reason for sorrow.

    It is still not black and white, even if there is a contributing virus. What if, for example, the virus increases the chance to become obese by 0.25%? Or 0.025%? How serious should the counter actions be in this case, how much should be spe

    Maybe you should start with shorter ones and increase the duration gradually (assuming you're interested in the benefits of intermittent fasting, of course). The human body is quite well adopted to the prolonged periods of fasting and has r

    It is probably a big part of the story, but maybe not the whole story. There are examples when abundance of food does not lead to widespread obesity, so the particular types of food being eaten must be of importance. Kitavans are not parti

    Well I hope I understand that. However, widespread obesity is a relatively recent problem. I'm not convinced that human bodies somehow started to work in a very different way over the span of just a few decades. The amount and compisition o

    Okay, I have to agree - the fact that I can manipulate my weight at will and either stay at the target weight or adjust it if I want to does give me some feeling of superiority in this particular aspect . And I have learnt a few things on

    I don't find it surprising at all that the rats that feed on the scraps of human food are getting obese - they get the same trans fats, refined carbs and sugars and other stuff that people get. Laboratory animals, again, are fed by humans.

    May have something to do with starving if the job was not done. Quite a strong motivator. Not sure if it's a good thing or not, but not many of us will literally starve if we do not get some of our job done, so being sloppy does not have se
