I meant to add, there's a real benefit to this if you end up having to leave a book and come back to after a long time. You can just read your chapter headings to catch up.

I don't write in my books, but I use a notebook for note taking (one for literature, one for non-fiction) and I use a method adapted from "The Well-Educated Mind". For literature the idea is to summarize each chapter into one of those old fashioned run on chapter titles like, "Chapter 1, in which Bilbo Baggins is…

With this response you seem to be accepting @gamergatesucks position that recreational drug use is bad but medicinal drug use is tolerable. While in your above post you seemed to be advocating for recreational drug availability (e.g. "enjoy a little hash brownie, you'll like it").

Do you also have a bad opinion of people who do physically risky things for the thrill of it? Isn't that just another form of recreational drug abuse? Where's you're cutoff? Should we avoid things that are enjoyable because enjoyment is an endorphin response?

No, trolls are people who post purposefully inflammatory statements such as "What's missing in your life?" in order to get a response. You're dragging a line in the water to catch some fish and scotschris bit the hook.

Beth The study says "Statistically significant differences in knee kinematics, the peak values of GRF, joint moment, and joint power trajectories were identified."

The bus is a different scenario. On the treadmill the electricity driving the treadmill is moving the surface relative to your body. On the bus, the gas driving the bus is not moving the surface of the treadmill relative to your body.

I was going to just say "Don't feed the trolls" but I also wanted to say that when you ask, "Out of curiosity, do you take any types of medication? Paracetamol, Advil, Tums, Asprin, or have you ever had an anesthetic?" you're engaging in a form of false equivalence that actually supports @gamergatesucks view of drugs.…

"Clearly, from a physics standpoint, it doesn't matter whether it's the runner or the ground that is moving (thanks relativity) but the myth persists."

I love how they first say "Avoid most plants with milky sap" and the first edible they show is Dandelion, which has milky sap.

Turn a cookie sheet into an Activity Tray and never, ever get into any sort of accident.

The part of sunlight that is required for Vitamin D production is UVB. You can get UVB exposure even on overcast days, though it may take longer than 10 minutes to get enough exposure. So, I would suggest that it isn't "living in a place where can't access sunlight" so much as "It's too d—- cold to go outside."…

Just a correction:

Serious answers:

You put your feet up on a stool to increase the body weight effort.

Really, a practice session to you is one time through? I think to most people a practice session is somewhere from 15 minutes to an hour of working on a skill.

I also disagree with that assertion, but I think that "instant dislike" is most often caused by the person reminding you of someone else that you have had a bad experience with. So, sure, you're projecting your past experience onto this new person, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing to do.

Ramsey's debt reduction strategy is based on "doing whatever it takes" to pay off your debt. And these two pieces of controversial advice are aimed at that. Ramsey expects that you will be able to pay off large amounts of debt quickly (3-5 years) but to do that it means don't use money for anything other than…

Your new GOAL is becoming an Architect. There are a huge number of individual and combined skills that go into achieving that goal. Not being an architect I can't really tell you what they are, but here's one. Draw a cube, with perspective, by hand, or with whatever the CAD program of choice for architects is. …

I disagree that it's too simple for adults. I think one of the problems that adults have when learning new skills is that they skip through the "easy" stuff and never really master it. Then, when they get to a more difficult skill that requires several "easy" skills working together they end up frustrated.
