I've done CC a few times when I get close to being overweight. Starting January of this year I cut my calories down by 1000/day, 7k/week, which is roughly 2 pounds (just shy of 1kg) a week. It's now March 10th and I&#x27

Obesity is always a case of calories in vs calories out. Were they controlling an exact caloric difference? Also: This is on male mice, which experience topor, which means they can dial their metabolisms way back. Human metabolism just do

In the simplest terms: Gene expression constantly changes. It's a field known as epigenetics. You have tons of genes, not all of which are constantly active. You have histones in your DNA that allow certain portions to be read while ot

I was shocked at how good the quality was in facetiming my in-laws on my wife's ipad. I've been using hangouts, signal, slack and duo for video calls and they were never nearly as crisp and nice as facetime was. I think Discord wa

As a European you probably don't have an outdoor heated pool & hot tub in a frigid northern climate. I also think it's ridiculous, for what it's worth. 400A is a wild amount of electricity for a supposedly high efficiency

I agree with you on climate change causing issues with scarcity, I just wanted to point out the basics around food scarcity is about the closest we could reasonably see a fix arriving within the next 100 years. Durable fixes to food scarcit

No, and we're nowhere near post-scarcity. We're able to foresee the end of some forms of scarcity, like basic food insecurity, but there's still no reasonable expectation that the economy becomes post scarcity in any way shap

Poverty affords no nets. To be caught by family, your family has to be capable of catching. Sometimes that's the case, but all to often your family breaks the net in an attempt to catch you and end up homeless as well.

Your gut feeling is nothing more than the parasympathetic nervous system responding to stimuli. You can talk about it as some sort of magic choice maker all you want but it's not wisdom, it's automatic responses controlled by your

SF rent isn't gouged: SF land prices are gouged by NIMBYs. For the price rent is SF should look like Manhattan. Instead it's more like Boise.

Sure, but the question is one of stability and consistency. Take data input: You want your front line workers to record every time they do thing X. They could go into a spreadsheet and increment the count by 1 (or add a new entry in the row

It's an entirely bad faith and shallow argument. You should probably reconsider what you're thinking is. The goal of transit first infrastructure is to make the majority of trips unnecessary. You shouldn't be required to own

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is if you _didnt_ have ADHD as a child it's unlikely you have it as an adult. So your assertion that it's a "disorder they likely didn’t have at an extremely early stage in th

The major concern is less snow on the mountain = less water in the summer. Droughts are going to become worse in the west because of warm Winters.

95% of Ohio deaths were the unvaccinated. Vaccine mandates clearly helped. 9 of 10 patients in Ohio hospitals are unvaccinated. The issue with vaccine mandates is they weren't strict enough.

And even at 33% of the basket weight it doesn't represent the truth for many Americans: Which are paying more than 30% of their net income as rent. As of 2018 49.7% of the US is rent burdened. 17% of the US spends more than 50% of the

1. Housing prices are more reasonable in Brooklyn than in Seattle. 2. Housing prices in Seattle would be more reasonable than they currently are with more supply of housing. 3. NIMBYism is absolutely the problem in Seattle. Upzone everythin

Because building housing is effectively illegal in much of the US. Single family zoning, NIMBYism, moral panics over public transit, suburbanism... the list goes on and on. Building duplexes is a start but Seattle should look a lot more lik
