My food log showed that I legitimately ate 3500 calories in a day as a 140-lb individual... but never two days in a row. The second day was always accompanied by unconsciously skipped meals or second helpings, averaging out to 2700 calories

One common story that is told is that men have more variance in outcomes than women; regardless of whether men are taller, the very tallest and shortest individuals are both male. So if you select for the people with the most board memory,

I was hoping that the article would get into this kind of business model. There are also a lot of low-end jobs where a good employee is simply wasted because their business model relies on cheap workers who quit after a few months. There is

I'm going to second that "intvlMS" is terrible. I didn't confuse it with "intval", but it's like making people play Wheel of Fortune with your variable names. It takes so long to read. Even if you called i

Even if there is more you can do, a society where this much effort at making friends can fail has got some problems. I took a few years off and volunteered, learned to ice skate, and so forth but never came close to making any friends. I wa

I would pay for a version of WorkRave that worked properly on my Windows 7 work laptop. It would be nice if it prevented me from issuing commands on my Windows 10 touchscreen too, so I can't just scroll through articles cheating on my

I never had a career, but I took a break anyway after 14 years as a plastics factory worker. Mine stretched to 2.5 years since I could afford it. I'm now in my second month as a junior Java developer. This makes more sense than the sab

The wager would be a lot easier if you didn't have the uncertainty about living 30 years after retirement or 10. I would like to see suicide become a socially approved choice so we could eliminate the risk of those potentially terrible
