I specifically said "Atkins No-carb" diet. The regular Atkins diet has carbs. Those getting obese are likely not watching their carbs, or having more fat than is healthy.

the only people testing splenda are the people who manufacture splenda. They replace molecules that would normally be in sugar with chlorine. That's why it smells/tastes like bleach.

this I've found to be true. The only side effect of my high protein diet when I'm in a bulking phase is many more trips to the men's room.

Protein doesn't get stored as fat. Carbs, do. He was likely not watching his carb intake. If Protein got stored as fat, everyone on the Atkins no-carb diet would be obese.

I shut down or log out nightly because I like to start out with a clean slate, and on the off chance the building loses power overnight, I don't have to worry if I saved xyz file. It's also better for the company to not have a bunch of computers running over the weekend not being used by anyone. There's also sensitive…

I don't think it's a stunt per se. I noticed something similar a few weeks ago. In a couple instances, it's a newsletter or notification that I remember that I haven't actually been reading consistently, just deleting most of the time —so my guess is that gmail noticed that these things are being deleted without…

the flipside of that is that if you spend a great deal of time commuting, do you really have the time to enjoy your fabulous, but cheaper, home?

"How many of you owned a crappy eMachine or Packard-Bell in the late 90's or early 2000's that failed spontaneously?"

Yep, the Genius Bar guys do nothing all day but sip mojitos and look up LOLCats. That's why they need a half dozen of them on staff. Someone has to keep the mojitos flowing.

No you take it to the Genius Bar at the Mac store if it has problems/viruses. Macs aren't more stable or reliable. I use one at work, it has just as many quirks as any PC I've used. For example. I leave work at 5pm. I've learned that I have to start shutting down (and in some cases forcing quit) programs at about…

FOR REAL. I never understand why people buy name brand over the counter meds. It's literally the exact, same thing. The Aldi claritin is the same chemical as the name brand at like $1 for 12 pills.

Not even close. Reread my comment.

Therapists, in my opinion, are like any other doctor. The goal should be to solve the problem and get back to your life—not—-as some people use therapy - as a crutch.

I have to say that the workout buddy system honestly doesn't work. Workout Buddies tend to be in the same physical shape and thus are prone to giving in at roughly the same time, excusing each other for missing a workout, cutting it short, or giving up altogether. Every "workout buddy" i've had has always been about…

When that distinction stops making a difference in how we are treated, then we can drop it. But until I can kiss my man on the street without worrying about someone attacking us for it, the distinction is relevent.

On the flipside, my great grandfather lived into his 90s and spent the last decade he was alive battling emphysema- due to being a chain smoker for almost his whole life.

thanks for the clarity. Hope I didn't come across as smug. I "lived it up" a little TOO much in my 20s and in cost me several potential relationships, a lot of memory loss, a whole lot of money, and almost a job, too.

ah yes, the usually false dichotomy of having to choose fun or safety. I don't drink, I don't smoke, and my life is far from boring. I have plenty of fun, plus I don't have to pay for it with hangovers and drunk texts.

well, this would explain climate change denialists.

or we could just not put the stress on players to do stupid things and play injured. We could have realistic, safe expectations of players. Not expect them to do things the human body can't, or shouldn't do, for entertainment.
