I dunno, I'm looking for a place to live, but ideally starting in July, so if I can get a better deal by offering the current owner/tenants free rent until then, that'd be perfect. If you're starting a job in a new town

There's this: http://www.deadlysins.com/guinea-worm I also remember seeing that website years ago, and I feel like this isn't it (or at least that it's been redesigned). I seem to remember the classic unstyle

This is no surprise to me. My dad wrote batch files when I was a kid. 98.bat give a list of items numbered 1-15. 3.bat then took you to a games directory wherein 99.bat gave you another numbered list list of 30+ games to choose from. I memo

It makes a huge difference to whether people buy it. It does not make a difference as a measure of "how much carbon does it release when they buy it", which is the question being debated in this thread.

Thirty years ago it would have been true to say "Solar is decades away from being viable as our primary energy source, whereas fission has been ready and able for decades." I really wish we'd gone with Nixon's 1970s prop

Ah, that's a good catch. I'd have trouble providing a precise definition for a lot of these, but I know them. ("servo" is some type of engine; "degauss" is a button I pressed on CRTs to make them go "boing

If we're using price as a proxy for environmental cost, it seems irrelevant whether it's paid up front or over time. Lifespan certainly matters, but the financial structure doesn't.

I suspect the real benefit is situations where the seller comes to you. A cafe can have an additional piece of equipment sitting on the counter for taking payments, but if you're a handyman or something, going to someone's house,

There are likely numerous reasons, but the flu vaccine update was generally around 40% for adults in the US[0]. COVID is something like 70% and the OP is saying if we got even higher it might've worked. (I suspect the bigger issue wa

Because at least for Vitamin D in general, there are a bunch of studies, and overall it looks like it probably doesn't work[0]. I'd recommend taking it anyway, but there are more than two studies and the results are not solidly

The idea that we have to solve the problem for 100,000 years has always seemed crazy to me. If we can store it for 100 years, we can be fairly confident that technology will have advanced to the point where then dealing with it for the re

I didn't say it's high. I said it's an increase over 55-60. The claim was that walking doesn't increase ones heart rate, which is, assuming we can agree that 100 > 60, is demonstrably false. As for my estimate of my f

Good point. Perhaps one cheap way GP could monitor it themselves might be to just monitor pH and do a lead test if that changes. Just replacing the pipes seems like the optimal solution, but half-measures are better than nothing.

I can tell you that when I played Ingress, I walked a fair bit more as a result. I also ran a lot, but tbh my runs would cut short because by mile ~10 my phone battery would be low.)

I'm pretty fit, and walking absolutely increases my heart rate. Even a casual stroll will raise it noticeable, and my normal medium-fast pace can easily bring it to 100+ bpm. (My resting heart rate is generally around 55-60 bpm.)

350kCal a day is about 30LBs of fat per month. The challenge is adding five miles of walking without your diet ramping up to offset it.

I don't think I would've thought a mile as a "long run", but until age 30 it was further than I'd ever run without having to stop to rest. If you don't run regularly, running for any length of time is hard , e

That makes sense. I do often find myself craving a dessert after eating what is otherwise a very satisfying meal. I should try fruit afterwards. A few years ago, whenever I felt too full from a big meal, I would eat a banana, which felt l

If we're just looking at sugar content, it's really not that different. Pepsi has ~11% more sugar than fresh apple juice: 25g of sugar in 285g of juice[0] = that's 37 grams in 355ml of juice[1] vs. 41 grams of sugar in 355ml

Ah, that's a good point. The limited death data itself was (I assume) not significant, but we don't need it to be given the size of the effect earlier in the "conversion funnel".

Four incidents does seem like a really small number to be finding much significance. I know the overall N is large, but don't you need sample size large enough for the incident count to be large(ish) as well? Obviously, at this point w
