Thus the suggestion to move off campus.

Well, to be fair, you are there to learn, not play games. :)

This needs to be said. I'd like to strangle people who think their pets can reasonably be compared to human children.

Some unis just want to watch the world burn.

Well, that escalated quickly.

You may be replying to the wrong person. I've never used Notepad!. I was just pointing out that Adam's "surreptitious" suggestion for Notepad++ was already handled by the article, in the last paragraph.

Which, of course, is an excellent, excellent piece of software.

Lifehacker needs a thing I can click that is the polar opposite of a star.

And then after you've had your hope in humanity shattered by Wool, pick up Swan Song by Robert McCammon, if you haven't already read that one.

Man, that was an awesome article.

Guys, this isn't even a case of people having a different idea of what constitutes valuable savings. Or a time versus money thing. It's saving money. Any money. It's also something else, but I'll get to that in a second.

This is the saddest thing to me:

The only research I read when we started our weight loss journey was something in the American Journal of Kidney Disease that indicated that keto tends to increase the rate of calcium loss and kidney stone production, which put my wife out (because she gets them and kidney stones are... awful).

I hope I didn't give the impression that my calorie restricted diet consisted of bullshit food, but just less of it.

With that in mind, I'd point out that your statement "you're accomplishing the same thing dropping sugars and starches, you're just doing it in a focused way" is a common claim that is unsupported by actual research.

Agreed. We have recently made that philosophical jump, reasoning that we can reserve "food as pleasure" (which, let's be honest, there are foods out there that are joyous to eat) for special occasions.

Listen. I'll hand over my bread, my pasta, and my delicious, delicious potatoes.

Certainly, exercise is a big part of it. But a lot of the reason overweight people give up on healthy endeavors is the lack of results they see from cardio. The best way to lose weight, physical fitness notwithstanding, is a calorie restricted diet. Vigorous exercise can come once the overeating habit is broken.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
