Practically, you can't do anything else but use the cold water from the shower. However, even in summer it is usually quite invigorating, even though it might be 15-20°C. It can be a good deal colder in winter though.

Water is colder in winter.... Best thing would be having a thermometer and showering with same temp water all year round.

Look it up, but it's possible that cold showers are not good post-exercise due to them hindering blood flow and preventing removal of waste materials from muscles.

The thing is cold showers warm you up by booting up the metabolism. 3 mins after stepping out of a cold shower I'm usually feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, as if I had just kicked some disgusting dog off my porch. (/s)

We need to shove everyone who regularly uses the phrases "We need to have a conversation" and "Here is why" up against the wall and shoot them in the back of the head. Smug kills.

I believe the format itself, that is, text, not voice nor face to face contact makes conflict more likely.

The low-hanging fruit was picked way back. However, these small, incremental changes are going to pile up and amount to what ends up being a qualitative change. Also: I'd not fear a new dark age. Chinese or other East-Asians are bound

He has a point though. I remain unconvinced there is another sort of gov't less susceptible to corruption. In the short and mid term. There seems to be some need for a periodic system flush, to get rid of the parasites.

I really doubt that. Choose to work 40 hrs? There are a few people who are lucky enough whose work is their hobby, and who feel happy doing it, but mostly, work is draining and stressful. And I don't mean physically draining. I'm

Rossi is very fishy, and he has no clue why his 'invention' works. Scratch that. However, these two Swedish professors Lidgren and Lundin were involved in testing Rossi's claims a few years back. Lundin is a plasma physicis

>Not that I could find, but there is a lot of evidence that higher doses of lsd is very harmful. I'd default to no lsd then. Why? Alcohol in high doses is also harmful, yet low doses are arguably beneficial.

Lack of water is a problem. In the mid east, and other arid regions, fossil water is being used up faster than it can replenish itself. Some places, the water table is falling by several meters per year. That is not being helped at all by t
