Sleep-wise, it took me some time to fall asleep during the first couple days. After which, my mind calmed considerably and I slept normally for the rest of the fast. Libido-wise, I couldn't tell you. My sex-drive has been abnormally lo

I had recently nudged into the 'obese' BMI category, so yes. From the reading I've done, most Americans/people who eat what could be called a 'Western diet' could fast for 30-40 days before coming close to bott

I recently finished a forty day, forty night water fast and while I wouldn't recommend anyone do it, it was effective. At the end I was down roughly 40lbs/18kg, around five of which came back relatively quickly as my body began re

Volvo's tech hasn't killed anyone yet.

It is different, though. You can't push an update to stop humans from endangering themselves and/or others. Tesla, however, is able to do exactly that with their cars. That they haven't, when their technology has been proven

I know this is unlikely to help you make a decision, but: you're right, on both counts. Personally I find Into the Breach to be more "game-like" (whereas OM and other Zachtronics titles feel like work, to me), but I think it

Maybe you're ok with a dozen+ orange, green, and yellow bikes intermittently on your corner, in front of your house, or strewn on the paths of public parks. I'm not.

The part that irks me maybe the most is that every one of these bikes is both an advertisement and a physical business. Dumping by individuals and businesses is regulated/forbidden. Food trucks are regulated. Newspaper stands are regul

You should visit Seattle once the weather clears up. You'll see that they "eyesore factor" is very, very real.

I'm betting you don't live in a city where three of these rental companies are operating.

Ditto in Seattle. And I think it's important to understand that it's not primarily the riders (of whom there are very very few) who are paying to ride these things and then dumping them wherever, it is the "assholes" emp

For anyone that's interested in the subject, Hunter Oatman-Stanford wrote a rather more comprehensive article[1] with a much snappier title on the topic roughly four years ago, and Eben Weiss (aka Bike Snob NYC) responded with one of h

To be fair, he's the one who stuffed the ships with morality-free sailors, booze, drugs and prostitutes and then acted surprised when his investors questioned his ability to captain.

I'm not denying that the technology was sort of there (especially/only if you were writing a corporate app that targeted one and only one browser, probably as a replacement for an in-house VB/WinForms app). My point, which yo

"Turn of the century"? JS was used for little more than swapping images on mouseover and changing/"animating" title bar text back then. The "you will see absolutely nothing or a ream of {{blah}} text" with

It absolutely is. Setting media.autoplay.enabled to false in about:config will also keep audio and animated gifs from autoplaying. For me, it's the biggest quality of life improvment in web browsing since the advent of reader mode.

In areas of ancient Eastern Europe people were so frightened of bears that speaking the actual word for "bear" was extremely taboo [1]. I would guess that this sort of linguistic indirection/substitution has existed as long a

FWIW you can disable the autoplay of all media, including animated gifs, in FF by going to about:config and setting media.autoplay.enabled to false.

Which is exactly why Lynch was a brilliant choice to direct the first film adaptation: owing to his own artistic idiosyncrasies, he was able to convey how deeply strange such an inbred interstellar gentry might be, millennia into the future

This lazy cynicism is far too commonplace, and easily countered: If a whole lot of people added their half-seconds together, it would matter a whole lot. You either care enough to change your behavior or you don't. Don't pass your

Most reportage deals with those pesky humans, and not a "production server(that) suddenly overloaded and died," or with something that is similarly deterministic, in a forensic sense. While one could certainly attempt to create a

As someone who has played far too much Stone Soup (going back to when it was called Linley's Dungeon Crawl), and bounced, hard, off of Dwarf Fortress a number of times, I think that you're understating how much simpler, conceptual

He also searched on how to format a drive[1] (presumably securely) after receiving notice of litigation. I know that the folks here really, really love Carmack, and want to give him every benefit of the doubt; but, for most people, that&#x2

Agreed. 'Curated' is currently being over-used to the point of parody. Any list of things made by a person is a curation. One could easily describe a grocery list as a 'a thoughtfully curated selection of produce and pantry g

Indeed. I think the most recent tournament was very telling about Hakuho's future: he was clearly invested in winning, but he's just not as dominant as he used to be. His loss on day 15 really underscored that.

The move is not described very well in the article. It's not really a countermove per se (because the time to impact is maybe 2 or 3/10ths of a second), but something that the wrestler decided to do before the match began. Before

I think their motive was probably to avoid having to tell the diplomatic relations they'd spent decades building to lick Trump's boot or fuck off.

In Washington state, at least, a handful of regional credit unions allow deposits from cannabis businesses, and it looks like Colorado may have recently-ish started allowing the same. This, specifically, is for business accounts. The trans
