By the way the researched noted increases in BMI, well BMI is tied exclusively to caloric intake, metabolism and exercise (calories in/calories out). The notes say the oil they use is 120 calories per tablespoon, it doesn’t seem to note how often they use the oil now compared to previously. Let’s assume that they went…

This is not necessarily true. Too much oil-heavy food can be high in calories and result in obesity, but relatively speaking cooking oil used in moderation is completely fine. I wouldn’t recommend chugging a whole bottle, but if you use a tablespoon or less to cook your dinner you’re adding less than half the calories…

What makes this comparison all the more astonishing that their average level of physical activity is not that much higher than that of the average American, and they actually eat more daily calories.

The Nazis were once a fringe political group that could barely fill a beer hall, much less control a nation. Your ideas of fascism are remarkably narrow, the core belief of fascism is a belief that some people are better than other people and that one person should have absolute authority over the government; the…

Your marketing doesn’t necessarily need to be based on algorithms. You can post on Reddit, Twitter and other online sites to get the word out. Hell, if you want to go old school you could hand out flyers in the nearest city center to totally avoid all algorithms as much as possible. You can hire companies to help…

Valve’s 30% cut is a retailer cut, by contract they are not your publisher. If Steam was your publisher, they would pay you money up front to develop a game, market that game and support that game; Valve is not doing any of that. The 30% you pay is simply the retailer’s cut, no different from if you were to sell a…

The Iron Front was only armed themselves because literally every group they were against was already armed; the Nazis, communists and monarchists all had armed guerilla groups. The Iron Front armed themselves out of necessity, most were middle-class workers just trying to preserve the Weimar Republica and democracy.…

They already paid for tickets, everyone sitting in that section has a season ticket. The point of the walkout is to show that if this continues, ECS will leave and the gameday experience will suffer and the Sounders will have a gaping hole in their income.

Bullshit. The violence in Portland was caused by fascists who showed up in a god damn armored bus.

Never rely on an algorithm you don’t control for your business. This applies to YouTube, it applies to Steam, it applies to any sort of system like that.  It’s up to you to market your stuff, to spread the word as best you can.  I’m not saying that the indie devs are wrong here, it’s difficult to know quite frankly,…

I’d argue that Fallout 4 deviated in pretty obvious ways from Fallout 3 and New Vegas. and that’s a lot of why it failed. The story is very similar to 3, true, but the mechanics changed greatly and mostly for the worse. The stats system was hugely simplified and dialogue was simplified to the point that worrying too…

XBox seems to be having issues, but so far it’s been smooth on my PC.

There are some very legitimate improvements though. Melee is so, so much better, character building is much more complex than previous game and using different brands of guns legitimately feels very different now. Beyond all of that, ultimately it is more borderlands rather than the exact same ones you played before;…

The idea that individual action, in the sense of “doing your part” not in the sense of political action to implement laws to fix pollution problems, can save the world is actually a bit of corporate propaganda.

I mean, would Lim even know what the fuck the Copa Del Ray is? Would he understand the significance at all? Singapore probably never gets the Copa Del Rey on TV but I bet they get UEFA Champions League and then Lim can brag to his family, minions, bootlickers and rivals that his team is in the Champions League.

Taft went on to serve on the Supreme Court after his time as president, he was arguably one of the smartest presidents we ever had, at least in terms of education.

Well, to be clear they aren’t billionaires because they own a sports team, they’re billionaires who happen to own a sports team.  I’m sure most of them are making money, but they were billionaires before they were sports team owners.

Gotta say the Yakuza series never interested me until now, but I’m intrigued by this.  I’ve always heard how over the top (in a good way) the Yakuza series is, but the combat never really held any interest for me.  But over the top JRPG gangster combat sounds pretty fun, especially if you get to use the environmental…

The fact is that the majority of your money in a cable subscription goes to the live sports channels; why?  Because it’s live sports and you usually can’t watch it on demand without paying for the league’s special app.  So that means that customers who don’t watch live sports, who just want national geographic and…

I mean, is it better to live a slave or die free?  Make no mistake, if China gets its way with Hong Kong the people will become as repressed and brainwashed as the people of mainland China.
