If you read the captions you'll see a bit more. It's not about the posing, it's about the dieting and the fraying relationships with others. Modeling has its own dark side but it's a job in which you work with co-workers

One of the most interesting aspects of this article is the brief discussion of commodities, subsidies, and supply chains. In the tech space you can ignore a lot of this but when you're buying 500 million pounds of butter that's go

Some folks would argue that if you're in reasonably good physical condition, you're not going to see big results from any exercise program. The contention is that diet controls much of your body composition and all those other eff

American bread and European breads (including British) are a bit different -- Americans like a sweeter loaf. A traditional American sandwich bread often has milk and/or sugar. The milk increases sweetness. King Arthur flour recipe: ht

I'd think about it carefully and see if it had some plausible scientific explanation. I'd look at the cost of trying it and the cost of not trying it. And then I'd try it for a month or not. It's a month! In a lifetime,

And once you're at 150, it's only 50 weeks until you are weightless! No disagreements on keto being useful for many. For those who want to maintain their weight, though, it's not often the right diet. So I'd argue it&#x2

And if you get a doctor who listens, they... tell you to do an elimination diet for a month, keep a food journal, and reintroduce foods slowly while taking notes on what happens! A good doc would tell you to consider testing your way throug

In particular, a pint of beer does have a lot of polyphenols which may be good for, say, sports recovery: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21659904 Some people are trying to make a lower-alcohol, salty beer that woul

It's true! I did a fair bit of programming and other computery things in undergrad and had a pretty good track record for, say, transforming some trash from behind the CS department into a workable computer. I was happy with Emacs, res

Sexism has to be intentional? You're redefining the word simply so you never have to deal with it. It doesn't even jibe with your own definition ("Sexism is discrimination because of someone's sex."). People do many

My takeaway: - no standards can work, because - all standards rely on implementation. That's a bit disingenuous, but also substantially correct. People game the system in many ways in response to "standards" (really just requ

How long were you on hold while your kid was clutching his arm? On the one hand, on the other hand. Many people are not good at judging what is an emergency and what isn't when it comes to health care, especially since vast swathes of

Yep -- my advisor figured he could do my thesis problem in a week. It did take me only 1.5 years to find a counterexample and kill my own thesis, but these are estimates after all.

This can just as easily be turned around. Why do people who spout racism get to impose that standard of behavior and decorum on those who want to discuss video? Why does racist or sexist discussion trump relevant content in a content-specif

It seems that some people use coffee as, say, a stimulant to try to deal with ADHD. I wonder how much this self-medication impacts the results. Perhaps unusually, I recently did a little self-inventory and decided to consciously up my coffe

"Banking on the Unbanked" (behind a paywall, sorry; by Stafford in 1983) says that in the 1970s 60% of Americans had a bank account. All the women in that group had to have a male family member sign for it, remember. 60% of the US

I don't see the bargaining power. Many women in the US don't want to procreate constantly, as it's quite expensive, and birth rates (esp among teens) fluctuate according to availability of birth control. Perhaps it's new

Why don't the southeast Asians just create their own companies and jobs? Why do you assume that Europeans and Americans have to create jobs there in order for income to be equalized? You are missing a few things before you can say &quo
