Isn’t this is only true with central air though? Most other types of ac are not full climate solutions to leave running all the time and need some manual control. At least that’s how I use the mini split in my garage. I have to remember to

Its not just absolute amount of fat though you also have to account for intra abdominal fat being much worse metabolically than subcutaneous fat.

My completely made up rule is you get an extra point for every plate you bench (or squat etc). Its not a dramatic difference. If you bench 225 you’re not overwreight till 27 BMI, which iirc used to be the actual cutoff until they narrowed i

I would argue coding is different from those other categories. I think you can ask AI expert level questions without being an expert in many fields if you are smart and well educated in general.

Of all possible scenarios this seems one of the least bad. Government is less likely to sell you out and they can't really use the information to prosecute you legally without revealing "oh btw we were behind that VPN", which

Ive been riding scooters and motorcycles for 20 years and I to this day I have no clear image of what a moped might be. I always imagined a theoretical spectrum from pure bicycle -> gas motor equipped bicycle-> moped -> pure motorc

Its not how bad must other areas be when NYC is this bad- its bad because its NYC. Corruption, aging infrastructure, enormous construction costs, diverse building types and complex ownership interests etc etc. The fastest and most competiti

Keeping children off social media, or to a very limited children only social media seems obviously a good thing. My issue is the UK “free” speech standards seem to be something like free speech as long as its reasonable, doesn’t offend or e

Are mechanical keyboards becoming a way to show off like the programmer equivalent of loud truck exhaust? The sound is satisfying yes, but with other people in mind I am looking for the quietest mechanical keyboard I can find these days. I

Those billionaires are not hoarding cash like a dragon in a lair, their wealth is mostly in stock in productive (FB is debatable at this point) companies many people use. Boomers (only people I know receiving pensions) use pensions to fund

My employers who are introducing AI are not laughing evil supervillains hoovering up all the excess profits, they are normal people who wanted long careers and are as nervous as anyone about competition amd what AI will do to organizations

Where I lived we knew a few neighbors but didn’t really interact every day or feel like they would watch out for other people’s kids. That didn’t stop me from biking and exploring all over from age 6-7, which seems unthinkable now. I think

I do the same thing but with two physical desks, not just partitioning one desk into two logical desks. Aside from the obvious advantage of more space it really helps put your mind in a different context when you are at a different location

I think social media just gives people a palce to express their most unrestrained nasty opinions.

I don’t known if its the heat or lack of greenery but everything I hear about riding bikes or motocycles in Texas just makes it sounds like there is some deep latent aggression there. I have bicycled in a bunch of states including the South

I guess so but was young and having to defend yourself before a committee that can expel you can be intimidating so there are many ways I could have flubbed the explanation and made myself suspicious. I do hope the standard is something lik

Many US universities and some private schools had honor councils made up of students and faculty that would hear cheating cases

I once was accused and brought before the honor counsel for a really stupid innocent mistake. Basically it was a history worksheet requiring written paragraph answers and I swapped around answers under the wrong questions so the teacher tho

That’s probably about how much I lost taking care of ours. She generally woke up twice to drink milk but I was still up for the first one. Loss of an hour sleep can still be brutal if its like 6.5 to 5.5 hours.

Yes this is obvious if you think about movies where people become friends or romantic partners- they are usually cold or unfriendly to each other in the first meeting which makes their later connection seem more authentic. I cannot imagine

Doesn't being legally non roadworthy only apply to NHTSA safety recalls while there are other types of recalls for non compliance or manufacturer voluntary recalls?

This would be a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975 which requires they show the work done directly caused the failure. If this were a widespread policy I bet class action lawyers would be all over it without you having to p

Say a tanker truck has a roughly 300 gallon fuel tank and a 10,000 gallon payload tank (per google). Thats roughly 3% loss to cross a lot of the US, which is by no means insignificant but assuming ships are not any worse and the pipeline to

If you look at gas prices in Saudi Arabia, some of it is subsidised to be lower but clearly its much cheaper to be consuming your own energy vs purchasing it internationally for a variety of reasons. The size of the effect is a messy econom

This was my about reaction when I was renting a house and a guy was going door to door to get people to sign up for yard bug spraying. Wait the bugs are already outside and you want to kill them? That’s where they live.

I feel the same way. I really enjoyed bonsai when I lived in a small rental, and now that I can plant actual trees it just seems so much more exciting to watch something big and healthy that has a real presence compared to a small tree on l

Maybe its being older already but I don’t feel super changed having a baby like people told me I would. I don’t do work or hobbies or socializing any differently. Everything else in my life didnt suddenly seem unimportant. The one big diffe

As a millennial my whole life has felt pretty Malthisuan. I haven’t personally really benefitted from productivity increase, I have seen any competitive edge I had by being smarter or early to things erode away rapidly again and again. The

If elites do not provide a social safety net why would the masses respect their elite status and resource endowments anyway? Unless you are suggesting billionaires build private armies in some sort of neo feudalism, there are no elites who
