>And it is correct. With a fairly inactive lifestyle, I would still only be able to get to ~150 by losing all my body fat. 100%. The final ten pounds would have to come out of muscle, organ, or bone. It doesn't sound healthy.

I don't have the impression that people who are against insider trading have a clear definition in their heads, agree with others on a definition, or know what the law is now in the US (let alone other countries, which can be notably d

If you have audio on, you can't so easily ignore ads. It's intrusive. Also, for those who think viewers are morally obligated to watch ads, my experience has been that if I don't click the "Skip Ad" button, I will k

I agree with this sentence, but I wasn't thinking of whatever philanthropy he may be up to. From what I read, the reason Bankman-Fried is not an ordinary crypto dude is because he's a quant educated in cutthroat conventional finan

It doesn't seem like the chart of costs includes the effect of summer A/C. And the chart that is shown peaks in winter a couple months early. Overall, it seems to significantly underestimate my energy costs. The conclusion is also

Where I live in the US, the power company is National Grid, headquartered in London. I believe that customers can select a different energy supplier, while paying National Grid for connection and delivery. So it sounds like you are talking

Here's a riddle. If using my birthday reduces the entropy of my PIN, what does it do to its entropy if I happen to have the same birthday as one of the most famous people in the world? Does it matter if I am aware or not? Does it matte

Not at all, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation if you fit an exponential growth model to the numbers given. You see, they must have started with one client, in year one, and thereafter achieved an average growth rate of 151.33% per

As a rule of thumb, I believe that a plug-in hybrid typically has 1/10th the battery of an EV, and a non-plug-in hybrid has 1/100th. This is something I don't think people take into account when they say or assume that having
