Hmmm, my source? Um, well there's my high school and college physics classes... there's common sense... there's experience... there's the laws of both gravity and diminishing returns... there's the centrifugal (or centripetal) force issues... there's the observations made by people with brains as it relates to sweaty

I wish I could star this more.

Depends... are you running 5 miles a day, 5 days a week cause you're in boot camp? Or are you running 5 miles a day once a week? Are you running on grass/sand or on asphalt/concrete? A 20lbs weighted vest shouldn't hurt your knees anymore than being 20lbs overweight and running to drop weight would. Knee damage is a

Sure... and the risk of injury will go up as well, though with bodyweight exercises you're less likely to injure yourself (or the guy next to you) with an errant kettlebell swing and more likely to damage your ligaments and tendons in your elbows or shoulders, etc. Plus, for things like pullups and dips, you can't

I'd be really careful with this one... Remember, "slow and steady wins the race". First, lifting weights *faster* dramatically increases your risk of injury, whether from swinging exercises like a kettle bell or just from moving too fast period. Ligament stresses and tears, tendon inflammation, etc are all exacerbated

Your Jedi mind tricks don't work on me. :P

Except for that whole MSG thing. You're probably better off getting one of the dip packets from your next vendor at the fairgrounds or farmers market and saving yourself the MSG and other processed chemical flavor alternatives.

The same idea holds true when hiking and such where elevation changes. I can eat the same stuff I eat at home, only if I just summited a 3000 peak I'll have gas. Its just pressure changes...

Considering you can scam Walmart into selling you one for $100 or less... why should you have to decide? Just get one of each for $10o each and you're still paying less than you'd pay for just one...

Being in Germany doesn't help at all... unless we're also in Germany. Otherwise you can do whatever the schnitzel you like and we can't do jack about it due to international jurisdictional issues. I may as well just give access to some Russians...

I tried this and the only result besides myself was the NSA, but I don't remember giving them access...

oh and don't forget... the licopene in tomatoes and dark chocolate doesn't just help prevent sunburns... it also helps the post-burn recovery as well.

Coconut oil (the good stuff... virgin, expeller pressed, etc) has worked great for me. I've had two burns in the last three months (both were mostly unavoidable due to bad timing and preparation), but I saturated my burned areas with coconut oil and A) got immediate relief and B) never even peeled. Some primal/paleo

Something else to consider... almost all hiring contracts/offers will say "contingent upon successful background check" or similar wording. Considering all the identity theft issues these days, there could well be an issue with your background that you are not aware of and that may take time to resolve (ie: proving

I just like this cause its an easy way to get the LED on his camera lit up but the app is minimized... if his Dock is set to autohide, he'll never even notice it... I did an iteration of this to a co-worker so often he ended up putting duct tape over his camera. You can also do things like set the system volume... so

On my Mac, I have "locate" as a symlink to "mdfind" :) Keeps me from hitting my head on a wall when I move between systems...

I do a twist on this... basically 16oz of hot coffee or 4 shots of espresso and 2Tbps of organic coconut oil mixed in a blender. On occasion I add a packet of Splenda. The medium chain fatty acids provide for a slow digesting energy source that carries me through the morning. The caffeine gives me a little boost. The

"Turkey doesn't have significantly higher levels of tryptophan compared to other poultry products. " And to be clear, I never said that it did. However, compared to other poultry, turkey breast is considered to be one of the better forms of lean meat. That and most people tend to associate tryptophan with turkey due
