I can't find it, but I thought it was recently recommended that men not go below 1500 calories per day by some medical group. I can't remember what the limit was for women. That there was some health risks by going that low. Just to be aware.

Marvel's official wiki is really great. It provides a very thorough summary of an entire history of a character, in all of it's glory and awfulness. Seriously, take a look at Spiderman's wiki page there. It is amazing.

Godin also recommends spending at least half your time getting better at your craft.

I'm totally ok with this, if the state wants to define marriage as a religious institution then the state needs to get out of the marriage business (and any other religious institutions). So that means no more tax breaks for married couples. And insurance companies cannot discriminate based on religion, so if they…

Does anyone have any information about doing a pull up (palms facing out) vs doing a chin up (palms facing in). What is preferred and why? A pull up seems hard, but I don't know why and I don't know if harder is necessarily better.

All you need to make a fantastic dip with those packets is one more ingredient: Sour cream. When I make ramen at home—assuming I don't make my own—I generally season the noodles and the broth myself, instead of using the seasoning packets, which are often just too salty (and not spicy or flavorful enough). However,…

Two comments I want to make after having to deal with obituaries after my mom's death back in August:

1) There a CRAP TON of costs when someone dies. I don't know how anyone can get away with less that a few thousand dollars for the death of a loved one. Not including whatever health issues leading up to the death. …

All of these pictures assume you have lots of hair to do something with!

There is something that makes me feel... gross, about Dave Ramsey's stuff. My wife and I looked into taking his class a while back at our church at the time after I had lost my job. The class was $100. Everyone there was in tight financial spots. But spending $100 was going to fix it!.....? And part of the sales…

I learned C first and have always advocated that as the best first programming language. But your comment may have just changed my mind. You brought up a number of really good points.

I remember having this school project in college and I was getting some really weird cryptic error. I brought it to my teacher and he…

Lots of people are posting explaining CS666 like they know what it is: "You see, CS is Computer Science and 666 is the devil and politics is the business of the devil. Duh!"

Except there is no explanation from the author, no direction to look in order to study CS666. All we have is his inside joke, he has one other…

Haha, well... knowing Facebook..... ;)

But point taken.

Looks like you can flag a post as "goes against my views" contributing to everyone limiting their information intake to only sources and information they agree with....

I've been using "I get bored and slow down if I don't stay busy" for decades. Interviewers have always just eaten it up. It is something the interviewer identifies with.... because most people have this problem (it is hard to stay motivated if you have nothing to do). It is also saying that I understand the problem…

Thank you, I'll check out their free one. But aren't they a little spendy?

It is the same group and same meditations. Thank you for thinking of me though, it is a very good program; both online and on the app. I am just looking for more variety as I've done their's for so long.

I've been using the Calm app for the past year or so after reading about it here on Lifehacker. I even paid for it, I enjoyed it so much. Then they changed to a subscription service and I didn't renew after my free early adopter year (for having paid before it was a subscription service). Now the free level guided…

So..... you can't rely on calorie counts, instead count calories....?

I agree with everything you said, you can't count calories down to the decimal, or even single. How many calories you burn exercising or doing nothing is also highly not accurate. They are all estimates. What I do is keep track anyways, I figure…

I am currently dieting and exercising not only to necessarily lose weight (I am competing with family and weight is one of the things we are tracking) but to build muscle and lose fat. I have a scale which tracks body fat %, which are wildly inaccurate, but I am charting what it says hoping that it is consistently…

Couple questions for you, I find the definition of religion from wikipedia interesting and that you apply it to Atheism:

Do you think a political party, then, is a religion?

Can you provide an example of each of the following collections that Atheism holds amonst its members: beliefs , cultural systems, world views.
