You’re probably on the ‘right’ side of the internet, then... Fitness and health sites drudge it up several times a year claiming it’s the holy grail of weight loss. I’ve lived in cold climates... not an abundance of skinny people ;)

People seem to forget that your body’s job is to keep you alive and if you burn more…

My point is that, beyond movement and vasoconstriction, the adult body has very little capacity to handle the cold. Brown fat doesn’t make a huge difference and is certainly not going to burn 90% of the calories a person consumes. It creates noticeable heat when activated, but its significance has been highly…

The risk is not limited to YouTubers. Any business venture is subject to being squashed by something out of your control. They could own a retail store and have a major product banned by the government (or the producers go out of business), for example.

This is the reason business owners make more money than…

Well, to be fair, a great deal of them (possibly the majority) are horrible people creating horrible content for other horrible people to watch. I mean, this is the platform that brought Fred into the mainstream and it seems like the content from the top recently has been nothing but videos about drama (and sometimes…

Gawker content had to go somewhere

Or bacon?

How could he have stopped slavery? By removing every slave from their owner’s proximity? How long until they get picked up by another slaver? There is a perception that slavery was a US-only thing. “Only” 388,000 slaves were brought to the US. Another 10.3 million were brought to Latin America and South America. How…

Winston was awesome - so much so that in my childhood memories, he was always a part of the team and I was surprised to find out that he wasn’t when I rewatched as an adult.

But his character wasn’t developed in any way I can recall. He is essentially a hired hand and a plot device to allow for exposition when it…

Trump tells the best lies. Ask anybody. His lies are amazing. My friend, who happens to be a professional liar, said he lies very well. Hillary Clinton is really, really not a good liar. Believe me. Believe me. Hillary Clinton is outsourcing her lies to China, maybe. I don’t know, but that’s what people are telling me.

It displays a complete lack of judgement, disregard for the law and ignorance of technology. I wouldn’t advocate criminal charges against her, but people have lost presidential elections for less egregious lapses of judgement.

It disqualifies her from holding a consequential public office, in my opinion. It’s not for…

For the hands going numb, it may also be back position. If your upper back is arched, your handlebars are effectively farther away. I don’t know if this affects anyone but me, but there it is ;)

You can use it to make mozzarella too.

No, there are no normal people at the Olympics, but the games are separated by gender for a reason. You’re not looking for the best of the best (it will almost always be a man). You’re looking for the best of the best within a class.

If a person has testosterone levels that are impossible for a woman to have (by virtue…

Being anti-Trump is understandable, but Ivanka isn’t Donald. This would be like slamming Chelsea Clinton because her father is a serial sexual harasser/womanizer or her mother being an unlikable harpy.

I don’t see this as a slam, either. Ivanka wasn’t affected by it at all. The profits on an $84 ear cuff won’t even…

No Man’s Sky is the same as life - Grind a few rocks, cut down a few trees so you can earn some space skrilla and repeat the process.

My only real disappointment is that grenades don’t allow you to mine those enormous chunks of gold and emeril faster than your mining beam. Just ones and twos? It’s a freaking grenade!…

I admit it. I pee in the pool regularly. I don’t swim, though, because why would I want to immerse myself in other people’s sweaty butt crack juice? It may be mostly sterile ass sweat, but it’s still ass sweat.

It’s more than a gross exaggeration. It’s effectively false. Adults don’t have any (good) ability to generate heat to keep themselves warm except by shivering. Your body’s normal functions generate all the heat you need and if it’s cold outside, your body just constricts the blood vessels in your skin to retain heat.

Yo…

I’m not sure I believe the “don’t rest your hand on the shifter” bit. I’ve been doing this for 11 years and 130k miles... The only obvious wear is the engraved gear diagram on the top of the shifter (which actually may have just melted instead of being worn off. It does get rather hot in the summer)

There’s a little more to it than just having to use an inhaler. The inhalers don’t always work and there may be weeks where you’re half suffocating all day long. And heaven forbid your inhaler runs out unexpectedly and you’re sitting there wheezing and sweating, trying all sorts of rituals to get one last puff out of…

Did she just deride women-pandering sports organizations after returning from and complimenting a women-pandering sports conference?

Ah, never mind. We can all agree that sportsing is awesome. Everyone likes to sports. Heck, this one time, I was thinking about sportsing while watching the game match on TV and sportsing…
