You will progressively overload without tracking or thinking about it if you maintain a constant rate of perceived exertion.

It might be harder to track your progress, but progress will be made nevertheless.

If you are deep into powerlifting or have been lifting for 15 years, sure, there will be a noticeable difference between training for strength and training for hypertrophy.

I think that companies are always trying to make the most profit per unit sold. Inflation may have provided a stimulus that led to the companies being able to increase their prices, even beyond the increase in costs, but the inflation had

I'm totally open to being wrong. But take the girls' college thing for instance. Many, many people I know met their spouses through college. There simply aren't as many chances to socialize and meet people after you graduate.

It's not actually bad, it's just not the current Internet fad. If you like to work out that way, you should do it.

What is your evidence that bodyweight squats let you 'improve faster' than barbell squats. I admit you're probably right if your goal is to get good at bodyweight squat...

Just to let you know there is not really any good evidence for anything you are saying.

The main problem with SS for me is that encourages you to push through extreme exhaustion, because weight resets are based on failure to complete reps, and completely ignore Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). I got a lot stronger on SS, but

Post proof that deadlifts and squats present unique danger.

Post proof that exercise variety is detrimental to achieving lifting goals. I'll concede that if you are competing in a strength sport, it is best to focus on the movements in that sport.

I don't really think compounds save all that much time because the rest period required for them is so much longer than for isolation movements. If you prefer compounds, great (so do I), but there's been so much gospel online abou

Sardines are so good. Inexpensive, low on the food chain, extremely nutritious, and delicious on saltines with some hot sauce. I think they are also quite sustainable, but it's been a while since I looked into it.

You're right that I forgot to factor in taxes. I agree that 24.5k is not enough if you have dependents. I think it's doable as a single person. You would need to go into debt if you needed to buy a car or something that year, but

> The poverty line is about 15k for a single person in the US. For a family of 3, that line is about 25k. Then 36k should be enough to support two dependents without any other income, as it’s almost 150% of poverty. And I suspect most te

Cool, thanks.

> Imagine living on 36k per year before taxes. Is that supposed to be hard? I've spent less than that almost every year I've been working, and I live somewhere a lot more expensive than Nevada.

Would it be possible to write a code profiler and compiler that work together to optimize code based on real-world data? The profiler would output data that would feed back into the compiler, telling it which branches were selected most oft

Is it 'abusing' inflation if I ask my company for a larger raise due to inflation?

Sounds like a greater diversity of pieces for free-play construction to me.

It's funny; on my Facebook news feed's comments you'd get the impression that The Economist is some kind of far-left progressive newspaper. Here you get the impression that it's some kind of Ronald Reagan-Jeff Bezos love

True, they could be owned by the State, which opens another can of worms. A coop newspaper would be cool, although if it is viable why isn't it already happening? Or is it?

Yes, I suspect both. Cannibalism is an efficient way to divert resources to the offspring with the highest chance of survival for some species. But many animals also practice cannibalism only in captivity, and the increased stress and densi

Wouldn't there be tons of resources in the civilizational remains? Landfill mining would be incredible at least for a while.

It is also possible for ecotourism to be a net good for biodiversity. See Costa Rica for instance.
