There seems to be a genetic component to how we perceive the taste of some of these artificial sweeteners [1]. Personally, I also think stevia is gross -- bitter and metallic aftertaste. The best AS for me is sucralose (Splenda). I can&#x27

Just a thought...did you do an update or a full, clean reinstall of 10 over 8.1? From my anecdotal testing: 4 machines with update 8.1 -> 10. One was fine, the other 3 performed very poorly. Doing a clean install fixed my perf issues. Th

I think Tinder nailed the concept that many people don't want/have time to write 10,000 words about themselves or answer stupid quizzes. At least in my experience, a lengthy profile isn't going to help you; it can only hurt,

The [sic] "dangerous" of meat consumption are not established and likely non-existent. Almost all "evidence" that meat is harmful comes from the type of poorly conducted, magic-statistics studies this article discusses.

For deadlifts, you might want to look into a hex bar (aka trap bar.) It moves the position of your hands to directly in line with your shoulders, which greatly reduces the shearing force placed on your spine. As a tall guy, it feels much mo

That's an interesting statement considering you like to use links from nutritionfacts.org, written and run by a questionable [1][2] indivdual, Michael Gregor with an obvious bias towards vegetarian/vegan diets. [1] https:/&#

The real question is, though, is drug therapy something that should be pushed on otherwise healthy (non-FHC/high risk) individuals in order to reduce mortality. The PCSK9 research paper you linked has the percentage dead after 15 years

Interesting cite, because Dr. McDougall would be a perfect example of someone who lets his dogmatism influence his research. Even from Wikipedia: "Reviewing McDougall's book, The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss, nutritio

Conflicts of interest are almost always present with something as fiercely debated as nutrition. On the low-protein side, much of the research is performed or reported by biased organizations like Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Probably because it's not a myth that high protein diets are healthful. High protein diets typically result in better maintenance of lean mass (muscle) and better health markers if compared with one that replaces protein with carbs ( h

Well, KeePass.exe is signed, which prevents the malware replacing/modifying the exe. I personally run it as Admin and lock my keyfile down to admin accounts, which prevents against an un-elevated user process from stealing anything of

I agree about the key-derivation (just use the PBKDF built into .NET dammit), but I've checked out the code, and it looks sound. It uses standard Windows crypto libs when running on >=Vista. As to the auth'd encryption: they do

How does it remove anything beneficial? I look at DI, or really the dependency inversion pattern, as a guard that encourages better/more maintainable code. Can you write good code without it, sure, and you can write bad code with it, b

As with everything, it depends largely on your genetics and natural inclination to becoming insulin resistant. Insulin resistance (IR) can occur in normal-BMI individuals. This is typically accompanied (caused?) by a large amount of viscera

I think Windows 10 in general is fine, but the upgrade process does a poor job. For 2 of my machines, performing an update (not full wipe/install) resulted in an extremely slow system. Doing the full wipe/install corrected the pro

I wouldn't worry too much about write endurance with modern SSDs - at least if you're not using them in a server or something. The Samsung 850 EVO (not even the PRO model) is rated for 150TB, and most tests got closer to double or
