I don't know 100% for sure, but I think this may have more to do with how many calories you're eating over time total vs how much you eat near exercising. A caloric deficit on its own will do all the things you've named regar

Nah, that's complete BS. Fasting doesn't impair you to the degree you're implying. It takes a good 24 hours to run out of liver glycogen, and even then it's not like you keel over, you just have maybe 85% of non-glycogen

I don't think the United States created the F-35 program with the hopes to turn a profit by selling them.

I'd like to eliminate federally backed student loans and replace that spending with federally backed student grants for the best students under a certain household income. That wouldn't make tuition rise in the same way, and it

That's part of the reason. But why do costs go down for some things and up for other things when capitalism is applied? Because some markets' demand, like education and the current healthcare market, is not sensitive to price.

I think colleges are doing these things because of federally guaranteed student loans, because of the following chain of events: 1. Students are price insensitive for college if they don't have to pay for it up front. 2. Banks are ince

Ebay is still good. You can often find what you want for much cheaper than on Amazon, often with free shipping. Shipping usually takes 3-4 days instead of 2 days, but it's almost always cheaper. Unfortunately Ebay can't get its ac

This is great to say, but just wanting something doesn't get it done. How could we be proactive and accomplish this? I don't have any of the necessary skills, or the audience. This is really important to put attention toward becau

I think Vapid is for static sites. Unlike Django, WordPress, etc, there's no backend. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Weight training into old age does much more than prevent muscle loss! It also prevents osteoporosis and increases bone density, decreases likelihood of falls, and might even prevent cognitive decline. Basically it prevents you from slowly w

But it's still GREATLY aided by resistance training. Testosterone supplementation on its own is vastly inferior to testosterone + weights.

I think the author agrees with this. And they see the employee behind the customer service account as acting as a mouth of the company. Responding to what they say in that role is shaming the company, not the individual. Bringing the employ

Well, it depends on what you want a car for. :) If you need a commuter car to get you to and from work every day, and errands/visiting people in town on the weekends, getting one with a fuel cost per mile of 15% of normal (or even free

You're not accounting for the difference in cost of maintenance. Which would be SIGNIFICANTLY higher for a 2005 S600. Oil changes, brakes, etc, all of which do not apply to the Leaf, plus all the things that are statistically very like

True, but 20k is not 11k. And that's the out-the-door price with lower than average mileage bought by someone who didn't want to haggle. You can get a 2015 Leaf with 30k miles for 9k.

You are right of course. But still. Once you can talk over the CAN bus you can spoof pretty much anything, if I recall correctly. You could at least have some intermediary module on both buses that acts as a proxy. Then if someone hacks you

I just bought a 2015 Leaf, and it was because it was so absurdly cheap. Yes, the range isn't great (only about 90 miles), but everything else is fantastic. I paid $11k for something that feels worth $20k.

IMO there should be separate infotainment and hi-speed system CAN buses. It's lunacy to place engine control on the same bus as something with internet access that doesn't get upgraded, like, ever. I don't care how well it&#x

No. I work at an applied research institute that is technically part of a state university, but funded mostly by government contracts and private industry. My group mostly does electronic warfare work for the US military.
