Yes, I found as you get older (if you start when you are older at least) it might be a good strategy to bump the weights in lower increments. For example, instead of adding 10lbs to the bar every workout which works well for younger folks

Both of these are excellent. Even if you don't want to follow these programs exactly at least grab Rippetoe's book "Starting Strength" (3rd edition). It is a great reference for all the big lifts - very well illustra

I don't know, I really think at its core it is that simple. I worked remote for 12 years as a developer, sysadmin/devops (multi-hat deal with a small company) with no issues whatsoever. I got my projects done. It does require d

Sounds a lot like Thich Nhat Hanh's approach (Miracle of Mindfulness) :) While washing the dishes one should only be washing the dishes, which means that while washing the dishes one should be completely aware of the fact that one is

The comfort level would be: are you completing your projects on time? Good. You are not? (b/c goofing off at home instead of working) Goodbye! That would do it.

The bay area would have 50% less traffic, less noise, less pollution, less resource waste building these huge corp complexes...sounds like something that should be implemented now. At minimum incentives to push workforces to 50% of the tim

I still assert if you take away all (or most) of the armor that modern players have the injuries would go down. All of the spearing, head leading etc would no longer happen.

I'd prefer a non-billionaire/millionaire statesman (not a politician). Uber rich people in general have a hard time connecting or understanding regular people - and thats what we need now before the whole thing goes off the rails

Agreed - looks like a good plan. It definitely must have been a busy few days to a week for them : First Meltdown/Spectre to consider and now this to deal with - however I am glad to see the update and the total transparency each step

Santana Row got it partially right. What it mainly got wrong: - location right near an existing huge mall and very busy car centric corridor. How do I get to Santana Row? I drive to and fro... - no real public transportation near the deve

I also find it interesting (or sad) that all this human intelligence and capital is being used for such ridiculous purposes instead of solving society's real problems and making the world a better place. But then again, its not like t

If you are going Dell I think the best bet is to try the Precision 5000 series (pretty equal to XPS 15) and 7000 series (heavier and bulkier but you can really spec these things out). I have an XPS 15 (9550) and I really cannot recommend th

They should, but I thought it was some sort of chipset limitation due to the usage of the low powered (laptop) Intel chip line. Which is why all these ultrabooks (under 15") have 16GB ceilings...

Probably the best approach is this: - Go get a blood test and find out what your current levels are. if you are too busy to hit up your physician, blood tests can be be purchased online without a doctor visit - After purchase, you just sho

Good to know on the X1 carbons. They look like good machines, maybe I can find a good refurb as a secondary box to try them out.

you might - my xps 15 9550 (once tweaked with TLP, powertop, non-4K screen) gets 10-12 hours. There was a recall on batteries for the 9550 so this is with my new battery. However, this doesnt discount the other issues I had with the box.

Agreed - this plus dedicating time every day to some kind of training/workout. IMO the human body wants to move and work - its not meant to sit around like a blob all day
