I agree. These studies view life on strict biological terms, which, in their defense, is the only way to quantify life. While some folks here believe that any amount of alcohol is poison, it's also true that red wine and fatty beef ar

I’ve wondered about this. I see them for sale on eBay all the time and I always think “no way, something that old can’t be that cheap.”

Well, both, but I do think it positively impacts longevity because the fast is for a reason much deeper than extending life. The main goal of fasting is to increase the intensity of prayer, but, it has many other benefits. And then after th

I used self-examination to understand the value in my past experiences. Once I found the meaning in the experience, I was able to forgive myself and others and move on. I even became thankful for having that experience. The key is to ask y

I’ve wondered about this: when someone comes into a windfall and their loved ones see them differently, are they really different or is the person seeing them exactly as they are?

How effective can these messages of torment and suffering be? To those who believe it, it causes anxiety. For those who don’t, it pushes them farther away. The smallest group are those who understand but are not swayed by emotion. Ideally,

I read these books to my three year old. Arthur’s nose is only large in the first book (or books, I only have one from that time). As early as the mid 80s Marc Brown changed him into the aardvark we know today.

Agreed. It is difficult to wade through the advertisements, biased news, vanity and negativity. It’s just not worth the effort and time. HN is the only bright corner of the internet that hasn’t changed.

These days, politics is an expression of fear. The essence of politics, that is, governance guided by virtue and truth, is lost. Would you agree that to publicly descent from the majority would more often result in ridicule, not discussion?

> Meditation is like local maintenance - a reboot or a defrag. Prayer is more like a software update, connecting back to the home server for bug fixes and feature upgrades. This is a brilliant analogy.

A Kamado Joe. It's easy to expertly cook food on kamado style grills. Because of their construction, they have a wide temperature range from 150ºF to greater than 750º and they sustain heat for a long time. I can use this thing as a s

I used cast iron in my apartment for five years. My range was even electric. The cast iron community of the internet overthinks its care and usage. To season, just use it. To use it, don't restrict yourself (some recommend against toma

To flatly reject the author’s argument just proves his point. Specifically that folks don’t consider the origin of American values and law (he used the Constitution as an example if you recall) as being Christian. This is also why he didn’

The tone of this article is bitter and arrogant. That might be the reason why the author feels unemployable. I and millions of others understand the author’s frustration with the technical interview process. Yeah, it’s annoying, but that’s

Yep this is exactly what happened to my dad. He had bloody stools, told no one but his 80-year old doctor who said “relax it’s just hemorrhoids” without verifying his claim. This went on for years until he was diagnosed with Stage IV and di

This reminds me of a quote I read in the 48 Laws of Power: think as you like, but behave as others. This person lacked empathy and sensitivity, but at the end it sounds like he learned from his mistakes.
