Since we're being blunt: This is misleading. We don't use the bomb calorimeter today, but we still use the Atwater system (with a quick tweak for fiber) for those "nutritional components." All that means is instead of bu

Uh huh. Because what we know as facts today will never be disproven.

I think this is a matter of preference. Microsoft Teams does threads as first class citizens, and to me it's overly busy. I'd much rather a chat tool work like IRC, and in my mind Slack is simply IRC with more features.

I like Pinterest. I'm bad at decorating, and I'm a bad cook, so having recipes and decorating stuff that I can sift through and save into distinct idea books is nice. However, the website/app is basically glorified bookmarks.

This. Mr Money Mustache and JCollinsNH (Simple Path to Wealth) all rolled into one comment. Wish this was higher up.

"(as far from the coasts as possible)" piques my interest. Why do you want to be as far from the coasts as possible?

I don't think it's lazy, I think it's intentional. The cleanup efforts have been in the planning phase for 22 years, so perhaps some fear mongering to drum up more public outrage/outcry is what needs to happen to make so

This is the post I needed to see today, and from Popular Mechanics it makes it that much sweeter. The Tesla Roadster gave me hope back when I was younger and despairing over the soaring prices of gas. I loved cars, but how could I justify s

> I have quit facebook too because I was mentally unstable. I think this very effectively distills the essence of his blog post, too. His perception is that everyone is fronting. The fact of the matter is, not everyone is. Some people ju

Sitting here in the middle of a heatwave, I have to ask: are they really that bad when you can just add warm-weather clothing? Or when even just moving will generate some heat? I've heard in Wisconsin you have to breathe a certain way

Agreed. In my own experience, it's much more effective when cooling a room to pull the cool air in than to try to exhaust the hot air from the entire house so that cool air will eventually trickle into the room you're trying to co

Just fine? Hold on. If you're making $50k a year you net $3,350/mo. 10% of that is $335. So each month you're paying $335 against the $1500 in interest that your $250k loan demands. How is this in any way helping? At the end

I once heard it said about cycling that "it doesn't get easier, you only go faster." After a decade or so of mountain and road biking, I agree with that sentiment. If it's easy, that just means you're slacking. Whic

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 8. I am also the first born. I buried the emotions as best I could and now almost 30 years later I'm finally unpacking all kinds of issues in therapy. You are going to grieve eventually. Trust me on t
