1000% this! IMHO, Health / Nutrition is very K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid), but it feels like so many people get caught in the trap of finding "one weird trick" to keep them lean / healthy and then setting common sense

FWIW I've heard this song exactly once, driving into Dallas around 22 years ago on the classic rock station to go watch an NFL game. I was amazed by how long it went on. The only reason I remember it is the same riff is used in The Doo

I started with 100 situps and push-ups over an hour while watching tv and cutting dessert. One month later I looked in the mirror and was inspired to do more. Little things add up. Try something small, daily for 2 weeks.

Just something to keep in mind: If you're 40ish and new to physical fitness, don't despair. I turn 39 tomorrow and am in the best shape of my life. Anything done consistently is better than nothing, but done perfect. Losing fat is

tldr; if you have a good excuse for not drinking - it helps a ton with peer pressure... I've quit twice. Once when I was 21 for 4 years; Once when I was 27 going on 12 years. Both times started for health reasons (UC) and stuck because

Honest question: Why does earths rotation matter? You and the target are both moving at the same speed throughout the bullets flight in the same direction - why should it factor in?

Congrats on shipping! Do you use linear programming / some other optimization algorithm to hit targets, or is it more like a deficit tracker where you tell it what you ate and it tells you that you need 8 more mcg of zink or whatever?

I'm sure there's a better way to do it but I try to give each vendor (especially slimy ones) a unique email address: Dailyburn@mylastname.io When they start spamming I set up a filter to hard block anything going to that address.
