And when you’re labeled “smart” you can get HELL from teachers when you don’t immediately grasp something or have trouble with a subject. I had teachers make it painfully clear that I let them down by actually requiring some damn teaching rather than breeze through.

nah

So, I’m a business owner and real estate investor, and his business record is not impressive. He started with millions of his dad’s money and proceeded to use corrupt, purchased influence over politicians to build just enough equity to leverage himself to the sky. Then he used the free cash flow to make himself flashy…

Any gym that lets patrons go barefoot is a gym I am quitting.

They’ve been done. I linked one in the post.

Basically what the others said. You are buying strawberries and tomatoes grown in Florida or further south. Produce has a very short shelf life when picked ripe. So they pick it early, ship it, then ripen it on the truck by introducing “natural” plant ripening hormones.

What you tasted was a plant picked before it was ripe. Most fruits in grocery stores are picked before they are ripe to prevent bruising and increase shelf life. Gmo’s are not causing this, big business is. Buy from a local farmer that doesn’t ship his crop 2000 miles across the country and you will notice the…

“How about that food just does not taste good anymore...These overly bred and GMO plants

There are no GMO strawberries. There is next to no chance you ever ate a GMO tomato as it was on the market for about 3 season, had little uptake and was used mostly for bulk product (tomato and pizza sauce). Unless you eat papaya or summer squash you most likely never even directly consumed a GMO fruit, vegetable or…

I have a BS in Electronics Engineering and an MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I work as a programmer because I am good at programming. You don’t have to major in CS to be good at programming or IT in general. And you don’t need to major in CS to be good with algorithms, you just need to be good at…

The important thing to note is that you don’t need to spend hours on exercise when you’re on a diet.

If I would have been paying attention, I probably never would have linked that website in the first place :) I think we’re on the same page here, I’ll be more careful with my source next time.

Hah! Since starting to count calories I have developed the same attitude...I'm...going to waste my calories on that? Why? I was talking to someone about it the other day and saying if I'm going to eat "empty" calories, I want my empty calories to be delicious!

Gaia-Health? Really?

If the URL wasn’t enough to figure it out, two or three clicks told me immediately that this website is bullshit and it’s going to kill people.

That's one of the things that bugs me about fellow-book readers (I've read the books, sometimes twice). It's not like we're talking about the greatest literature in Western Civilization, we're talking about a long, sprawling series of fantasy books that goes way off the rails in the fourth book. A lot of book readers…

Our story was similar! I can't imagine spending 30k on one day. I'd way rather splurge on the honeymoon.

An entire bar? No. I will have a couple squares of a dark Giardelli or something though. I break them up into small pieces and it works out to be plenty satisfying all while coming in at 200 or fewer calories.
