The calorie counts on food packets themselves are +/- 20%, so it's inaccurate all the way down. Some of the value also just comes from writing down what you eat, and noting the snacks, dressings, glasses of wine etc that you forge

What I meant was, how much better would a modern version of medieval plate armour be if made from modern materials, vs armour made at the time for medieval combat.

I often wonder how much we could improve on historic items like suits of armour using modern materials and manufacturing.

Does this mean I won't get a cheap titanium suit of armour? Could me a game changer for HEMA.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. Does that mean the old testament is taken literally as well?

Wait until you hear about Kapparot.

It does seem to me that an omniscient God would see all these attempts to outwit him via looking at the small print, but then it's not me that would end up in hell or purgatory or whatever the Jewish equivalent is.

The thing I have noticed is that most US-English speakers drop the "ly" from the end of adverbs. Is that grammatically correct for US English, or is it slang?

Cats are known to prefer running water - probably as it's more likely to be fresher and not stagnant. Maybe a similar thing applies here.

I normally use BirdNet app for birdsong, and it looks like that is from Cornell as well. Does Merlin use the same tech under the covers?

I did hear that birds evacuate as part of the muscle contractions required to get airborne.

I know what you mean. For me, the motivation to move out of my comfort zone and become more "braggy" was to provide a better standard of living for my family. And also my ego - getting annoyed at seeing less talented people do bet

I am bad at this as well. I think part of it is to do with my upbringing as a poor, smart kid at a bad school. The way to be well thought of by teachers was to not cause a fuss and get good grades whilst the teachers concentrated on the dis

It's almost like you could create a 2 x 2 matrix of Useful Vs Valued - Not Useful, Not Valued: Get good or change jobs/industries. - Not Useful, Valued: talks a good game (or is doing useful stuff that is not apparent) -Useful, No

As someone else said, they exist, but I'm not sure what the appetite is for this.

If someone could work out a way to produce chickens that can be reliably toilet-trained they would make great pets. They're pretty smart, can be very friendly and (not many people know this) they actually smell nice - kind of like a ne

You'd think they'd have a proper programme for it for the elite troops. Unless you're doing completely stupid doses it can be managed safely, and it's not like the soldiers are not already doing something inherently risk

I always wondered if the allied forces were giving their elite troops EPO or similar when tracking the Taliban up and down mountains in Afghanistan. If they weren't, I think they should have been.

Is this another dispute with hyperscalers using the technology for free?

Haha. Awesome. I wish that was in the days of mobiles so someone grabbed a picture.

This is all just fashion, right? None of this makes the apps easier to use. I get that EG you might find it hard to sell a green-screen app on an iPhone, but I don't see this diamorphic stuff adding much value.

It was pretty tentative, and from memory we used a strap across its backside, rather than stand directly behind and push by hand. I did also have to deadlift a wet sheep out of a stream once and carry one from one field to another. That was

Our neighbour's cow walked down a slope to drink from a river in the field near us. Unfortunately the slope was a bit muddy and it couldn't get back up again. After we all tried to give it a bit of a push, we had to admit defeat a

I was trying to think what the US equivalent text would be. I don't think US text gets that arcane, though.

A fair point.

I wonder if they would get the same result with that passage with British-English speakers. I've never read a Dickens novel, but a lot of the context there seems obvious to me.
