I also have the giant-thighs-and-butt-from-heavy-squats-and-deadlifts situation. The "Athletic taper" pants from Jcrew and also the similarly named ones from Banana Republic and the Gap are great. Sometimes you can buy one size up

Great clear-eyed and cynical take here, I like the spirit of this comment if not all the details/conclusions, but can you provide a link/source for "You can look at historical graphs of fed rate vs unemployment to verify&quot

> "* unaccountable/summary de-monetisation of persons and businesses on the whim of a government" This is A) a correct, valid worry and B) isomorphic to the "surveillance" thing, in the sense that the surveillanc

Do you not have access to Sci-Hub somehow? Or have I misunderstood the problem here?

I second the Omega 3's, in the form of cod liver oil. Also a refrigerated probiotic occasionally and zinc every day (Zinc is super great for general physical strength and vitality for me, very underrated, strong recommend).

Do you rate SBF as a source more or less credible than Shkreli?

Not to devil's advocate, but this sounds like an argument which might apply at least as well to the USA as it does to Russia.

I'm not the GP and don't have a horse in this race, but is English Wikipedia widely considered "Kremlin biased?" That seems far fetched.

"Scott free" is maybe a bit strong, but it's totally plausible that he'll walk away with a slap on the wrist. White collar crime is famous for leading to leniency.

The theoretical travel time might be an hour, but we can't realistically compare the travel time variances between MetroNorth and Japanese trains. Going to Stamford is maybe like 1 hour, with frequent catastrophic delays and problems,

The killer app for VR is unfortunately going to be porn, although it seems many stakeholders are unaware of that. E.g. Neither Zuck nor John Carmack seem to have realized this yet. But it makes sense when you realize that VR is inherently i

OK but then how do we know how far the sun is from the earth? Is it like "bounce a signal off it and count time of flight?" (Another serious question.)

I want to know the answer to this also! Total photography noob contemplating getting a new iphone here, is it possible to use a different camera app to disable a bunch of the computational magic?

All of this is true. Yet many firearms enthusiasts are still disgruntled by the current situation because they interpret the intent of the 2nd Amendment as arming the people at or near parity with the government, as a bulwark against tyrann

I'm not the OP, but as far as I know there is no economic faction which disputes the claim that "a weak currency boosts exports." I spent 5 minutes googling this out of curiosity and could only find published claims in favor

I know nothing about Boom, but the "high bypass supersonic" thing raises the obvious question, how do they avoid the drag from the large (by definition) cross sectional area of the high-bypass fan?

Makes sense so far, but do you guys have flight numbers/dates/names of Iranian vessels etc?

I'm not the OP and don't have a horse in this race and haven't commented elsewhere in this thread, but it would be interesting to hear more about which claims and from which users you object to as opinion-y.

This sounds plausible but can you provide examples/links to wiki pages etc?

by avn2109 4y ago
The "posted signs" thing is an unimpressive solution in 2022 imho and they should really email you or text you "hey move your car please" etc. As a thought experiment, imagine that the city government was motivated to fi

As an anecdotal counterpoint, scooters have replaced Uber as my main method of transport and it's not even close. I probably take 4-8 scooter rides every single day and an Uber or two a week, when it was previously multiple Uber rides
