> eating animals is very nutritious—it's just not sufficient. No. It's not. I like Dr. Fuhrman's equation: H=N/C. This equation expresses the concept that your health (H) is predicted by your nutrient intake (N) divid

Want to know another awesome product? An actual road bike. You can, like, go outside and stuff.

I agree. It's a real shame people foam at the mouth for a fried corpse sandwich - doing a dis-service to themselves (their health), the environment, and animal ethics.

Wow. I'm 31 and never thought I'd feel like one of the old timers here. IRC is where all the best programming discussion used to happen. Maybe it still does.

Because he asks great questions and gets out of the interviewee's way. And he gets amazing guests like Michael Pollan, Dennis McKenna, etc. I like Joe Rogan a lot and I think he deserves his success.

Just a quick rant about Firefox -- an INSANELY annoying bug that they've yet to fix is when trying to copy the URL on Mobile Firefox, 99% of the time I get the wrong address (the previous page I was on), because it seemingly doesn&#x27

I agree. It wasn't a particularly well-written piece. The thesis? "Let's get serious!" Ok. How?

Get a road bike (I recommend a Cannondale CAAD12) and get into cycling... it'll change your whole perspective man. This stuff is just bits and bytes - don't take it too seriously.

How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. I think it will be revealed to be one of the most important books of our time.
