Purchasing a car at a dealership is honestly one of the most painful consumer experiences ever. Last car I bought, I walked into the dealership knowing exactly what I wanted and what it should cost, with my down payment check and loan appro

Nobody who actually thinks about salary thinks that salaries are set by the MPL. The ceiling on salaries is set by the MPL. The level is set by the available supply of labor and negotiations during the hiring process.

My own personal experience has been that managing nothing but calories is the most successful approach by a mile, but that sticking to decent macros is the best way to manage my satiation and stick to my calorie budget. If you're manag

Well, I live in a major metropolitan area so I have access to things like Walmart, but I can (and do) buy 20lb of rice for around $8, 20lb of potatoes for around $8, and 5 dozen eggs for $6.50. That's an awful lot of calories (7k from

Different sugars are digested differently, but natural fructose in a fig is the same C6H12O6 that's in a processed fructose source like HFCS. People like to talk about "processed" sugars like it's the sugar itself that h

We still use salt in the cooking process, just less than usually indicated. It's easy to make something saltier, but it's pretty hard to take it out once it's in there. :)

I throw a pinch of salt into my post-workout protein shakes exactly for that reason - replenishing lost electrolytes is really important for recovery.

I know, but given that people trying to lose weight generally have a problem overeating carbs, "giving yourself credit" for fiber carbs overcomplicates tracking and most people tend to underestimate digestable carbs taken in, so c

We add salt, we just don't add as much as "normal". We generally cut salt from a recipe about in half, or skip it if we're adding another salted component (ie, salted butter, bullion, etc). Salt is generally added as a f

Sorry, the way I read it was "the sugars have different impacts". Even if you didn't mean it that way, it is a common pseudosciency belief that "natural" and "unnatural" sugars are chemically different. So

Honestly, I think it's just calories in vs calories out. There's all kinds of things to consider like glycemic load and digestion speeds and all that, but at the end of the day, you lose fat when you eat less than you burn (see: t

Salt is another big one - if you go on a low-sodium diet for a while, many "normal" (American, at least) foods start to taste super salty. My wife and I cook quite a lot at home, and tend to under-sweeten and under-salt things com

You'd be really surprised - fruits contain a lot of sugar. Dried fruit and fruit juices (which many people think of as "healthy") can zip you past sugar quotas in a hurry. Honestly, I think it's probably just easiest t

The article doesn't say that - it says that glucose and fructose are handled differently (which is true; both occur from natural and processed sources) and that naturally-occurring sugars often come in high-fiber foods, and fiber impac

I used Bitbucket for a long time before Gitlab (mostly because they had hg support when I needed it), and IMO, Gitlab is honestly a better product, UI-wise. At the end of they day, they all get the job, done, though.

Scalping is just arbitrage. The core issue is that the retail price of the tickets is lower than the market price, which is probably high because the supply is limited (and probably artificially so by Ticketmaster et al).

I think this is right. The Willicks are the embodiment of the maxim that "everything is about sex, except sex, which is about power." They are both the most sexually prolific characters in the show, and at the same time, the chara

I think if we're honest, we all perceive the world this way to one degree or another. It's a lot easier (and more satisfying) to see our heroes as infallible champions for truth and justice, and our enemies as demonized caricature

I think that's a fair critique. S2 definitely went full on "you have no idea what is real or not", which is either going to be extremely satisfying or extremely dissatisfying based on how S3 turns out. At some point, the obfu

That sounds like a very healthy kind of mutual respect, even in the case of "disrespectful" names, though. It's not about the word in particular, it's about the communication of contempt behind it.

About 4% err-to-received ratio. That's probably due to untuned UDP buffer sizes though; despite dropped packets, we're getting enough information to provide the information we need.
