Why? A dryer gets far hotter than 35C. I just mean enough warm air moving through the shoe to dry it quickly. A decent heat gun should give you that control.

Best way I've found to defunkify my Vibrams is to soak them in Oxyclean (yes, "as seen on TV" Oxyclean) overnight and then wash them in the washing machine and air drying. This is with KSOs. With the Sprints, I've never had an odor problem

But Crossfit high-volume movements are relatively low weight -- you should be doing 50-60% of your 1 Rep Max of a given movement in a metcon workout. The crossfit workouts "as prescribed" assume a base level of strength acquired from doing

Regardless of how this plays out, this needs to be at the top of Top Science Stories of 2010 lists. If it is a good proof, Top News Stories of 2010 (or whatever year it is confirmed).

You're combining two worlds and then adding up probabilities. But there's no world where all three possible values are in play at the same time. There's only two, and you either picked high or low. It's a 50/50 shot.

Let's say you open the envelope. And there's $20. That means the set of two envelopes is either $20 and $10 or $20 and $40. In one case, the amount of money in play is $30, in the other, $60. Now, you have no idea which it is. And the f

Isn't the expected value of both envelopes, prior to picking either, 0.5 * X, where X is the sum of the envelopes' value? So one way to argue this is a fallacious problem is that you can't take an unknown (the actual value of the envelope t

I'm looking at it as a way to replace cable tv for first run network shows (30 rock, modern family, etc.). They say they will stream that stuff at 720p. I'd love to know how that compared to comcast. I would watch with a Mac mini attached
