I'm 6'1" and currently weight 155lbs, that is the most I have ever weighed and it is due to the fact that in the last year I cycled almost 6000 km and had to increase the diet to account for it. Honestly, weighing more than 150lbs is a huge psychological barrier for me because it made me feel like I was putting on…

About half the time I actually think that. But I have always made sandwiches on buns rather than bread, so getting some good buns makes all the difference. That and some cheese melted on the bun in the toaster oven before assembling the sandwich, mmmm.

I eat a sandwich most every day while at work. My reasoning is, the sandwich is just there to provide the substantial lunch portion and fill the stomach.

I believe it is correct. The optimal viewing distance is the distance at which you can see individual pixel elements. The pixels on a 720p display are much larger, so you have to sit further away before they become indistinguishable from the rest of the image.

To me the issue isn't that the cars are unsafe or the roads are unsafe. It is that the reaction times of the driver have to be that much faster at higher speeds because things go wrong a lot faster.

I grew up next to an MAF station in the jungles of Ecuador. Their pilots were always top notch. One of my friends is actually flying with MAF in Papua New Guinea right now.

I love NCIX. I live just a few hours from some of their main West Coast warehouses, so I will often place an order at 9am and have it delivered the next day without paying for any special kind of shipping!

I have never bought bleeding edge gadgets. I love researching and keeping up on the bleeding edge but am way to frugal to spend the money on an unknown.

I had my Sansa mp3 player for close to 8 years before it died on me. Twas a great investment at the time.

I would go with the $300 PC as a base build and then add in a 128 GB SSD for the OS install. This will make the machine boot/resume from sleep almost immediately.

I do the opposite of skipping meals. I just have extra meals, while traveling I will eat one to two extra meals in the day, small meals but still meals, that adjust my body to the timezone I am moving to.

I take way longer than that to get to sleep. I would guess I average around 40 minutes, and that is even when I am sure I exercise every day, no TV in bed, just a few minutes of reading before going to sleep.

As someone else mentioned, just buy one piece at a time and determine if you need more benefit.

I lived in Quito for quite a few years and was climbing different mountains in the area every other weekend. I really only felt the altitude once I got above 16,000 ft.

Best thing I did after highschool was spend a summer tree-planting. This assured me that I did not want to do hard manual labor for the rest of my life and gave me that extra kick to do well at University.

I imagine the not needing an alarm clock to wake up is mostly relevant to morning people. I rarely need an alarm clock, usually awake 30 minutes before the alarm. The alarm just ensures that I get out of bed and don't try to doze too long.

Here in Canada most of my tax refund is due to Charitable Donations. These are something that you can't really do anything about throughout the year.

I would have liked to see the time savings expressed in percentages. As you pointed out 12 minutes off an hour is a 20% time saving.

Thank you for posting this. I was disappointed that I had to make it this far into the comments for someone to raise this.

I know the feeling. I always get up at the same time, 7 days a week thanks to kids, yet what time my body will fall asleep varies by a couple hours. Sometimes I can go to be at 10:30 and fall asleep immediately, other times I'm not asleep till midnight or later.
