   Women also do remarkably well in ultrarunning. See Courtney Dauwalter who just took 2nd place overall at Tahoe 200 miler and legends like Ann Trason

   The problem with credentials is that they don't seem to prevent quackery. Most anti-vaxxers can name a doctor with anti-vaccine views for instance. Same goes for homeopathy, diets, etc.

   You can't pretend there is no sexual innuendo. There's a reason the room was laughing, that's because they got "the joke"

   How does one even render a page like this? I have minimal HTML and CSS knowledge and this as far as I can tell is magic

    OP complains that they are underused in industry, and goes on to show how to solve sudoku. That is not going to help me in my day to day job, can someone come up with a more pragmatic example where we could apply solvers?

    I cringe a little when I hear "advance into management". Management is an entirely different job, not something that is an upgrade over an individual contributor role.

    In this case though I think they mean stopping the experiment early if there seems to be a positive result rather than experimenting again

    I could see using them in a couple of marathon-pace training runs, but definitely not the whole training

    Can you give some examples of the kind of complex processes you are referring to?

    I think there is more concern about abductions than broken bones. I also used to roam free on my bike when I was a kid, but am guilty of airdropping my kid to activities.

    "a miserable hell hole", really? Apart from the commute and cost of living, I happen to think the quality of life here is great.

    What the hell are you talking about? When was the last time you heard your doctor recommend to burn as little calories as you can, and avoid 30 min of exercise a day at all costs?

    I went through a similar transition. There is much less friction editing a quick post in markdown with Jekyll than with the heavy wordpress UI, much happier with that setup.

    As usual Alex Hutchinson does a great job summarizing the research : https://www.outsideonline.com/2060591/latest-low-carb-high-f... If 70% or more of your calories come from fat, your body starts increasing its fat ox

    But so does regular butter. It's not 100% fat, it contains water.
