Our metabolism doesn't change in the technical sense, but in the popular sense of the word "metabolism" people absolutely slow down. At 20, missing a night's sleep wasn't even that big a deal. At 50 it is essentiall

I could not agree more. I feel like there is constant push back against attempts at decreasing the total number of blocks.

Agreed. But there are many examples. Take food production, which is one of the largest environment killers. Keeping people alive in space will involve novel food producing technology that might help stop people on Earth from destroying fore

Not destroying the Earth seems pretty critical to everything. Getting the technology to travel to and live on Mars would help that goal. Think of the benefits things like generating power in space and moving heavy industry off of Earth woul

It is a known that eventually a planet killing asteroid will hit the Earth (again). We just don't know when. But, more importantly, it is a misconception to think that the people GOING to Mars will have their lives improved. Life on Ma

I am definitely not underestimating how great Earth is. But we will learn how to make other places comfortable too. The trick is to remember that technology will improve. Living in a tin can on Mars would suck. Living on Mars with fusion po

Expanding human life to Mars (and the entire solar system) is a fantastic goal for humanity. Better than just about everything else we could do. To accomplish it, we will solve many problems along the way. I would much rather we advance our

I would hesitate to call this really bad advice, because it would be correct for some people at a certain age or point in their life. But, based on the OP, it doesn't sound like what is called for. It really depends what kind of job yo

This sounds very strange to the uninitiated, but I grew up in a part of the punk music scene that was rebelling against drugs and alcohol. As someone who has never had a drink, I've never seen the appeal, and I always wonder why more p

My initial thought was "wow, this would have been cool when I was a kid, but now I just need to look up!" And then I actually went to the site. Holy crap. It's really incredibly well done. Kudos!

Lots of good advice in this thread. I will just add that you have NO IDEA what will happen in the next year or decade. Life gets different as you get older, but not all of it is bad.

I think it is fair to say that there is a variety of reasons why people are obese. Some people certainly eat out of boredom, for emotional reasons, taste, etc. But there are people who also feel hungry all the time. Those people will benefi

No, not at all. More like it takes away your hunger. You could still overeat, but you won't do it because you feel hungry.

I feel like I could have written this myself. And I am also fairly certain that someday the cause(s) of this constant hunger will be identified and we'll someday be spared of people criticizing our "willpower".

Also a common misconception that hardcore punk bands only play power chords. A lot of bands are playing barre chords and hitting all the strings (imagine!). I learned most of the songs in the examples that way--whether the original guitaris
