I liked the commission based sales, because it just meant you could get a better deal on a TV. They would often give up parts of their commission to make the sale
thats waterloo region not london. And waterloo prices are still going up. Blackberry is not the only tech company in waterloo. Google is building a masssive office Then we have a bunch of other hightech firms such as comdev, opentext, toyota
yeah I really hate when people use the argument "well if it is so little give it to me then", it just doesn't make sense.. because if you are spending the money, you are clearly getting some sort of value.
My parents installed geothermal as well. Since they were out in the country the only way to heat the home was oil and wood. Well with the combination of old air leaking home, and the rising price of oil it was costing them $800 every 3 weeks in oil. So they installed geothermal, and replaced a bunch of windows, doors, and reinsulated attic and basement, now they only go through 1.5 tanks worth of oil per winter, obviously eletric bill went up a bit but no where near the cost of oil. This was about 6 years ago. They calculated payback would probably be about 7-8 years. Well with the continue rising in oil, payback was done in 5.
Yup, before winter came I was walking 1 hour 5 times a week at a brisk pace(6.3km/hour). I was losing 4lbs/week at 340lbs. Too bad I only started walking a few weeks before snow hit and -20 degree weather. Just started walking(and jogging) again this week so we will see if it ramps back up again.
If you do want to eat a lot. Put a lb of brocolli on your plate. Whats that, like 150 calories? and you sure as hell will feel full. Also drinking more water helps a lot. Most people probably drink 1 litre per day. Up that to at least 3L if not 4L (1 gallon) and that will help cravings a lot.
I think that is the major problem. People think just because it is on your plate you need to eat it. As soon as you are satiated (NOT FULL) just stop. Who cares if it is half left or a couple bites, just set it aside for later.
People like to think in units. Most people wont eat 1/2 an apple, they will eat until gone. This doesn't matter if it is a really small apple or a huge apple. "no leaving the table until your plate is empty!" was engrained while growing up.
Just cutting out sugar is not some magic that makes you lose weight, if you still eat too much you will not lose weight.
The advantage of cutting out carbs is that protein and fat is a lot more satiating than simple carbs. So you can feel full by eating less. But if you still in the mindset where you eat even if you aren't hungry... well you still won't lose weight.
You also cannot out exercise a bad diet. You can be in the gym 2 hours every day, but if you eating an extra 2000 calories it isn't going to do squat for weightloss.
Some other benefits I noticed by cutting out carbs (mind you some of it may be attributed to weight loss as well) -- Lower heart rate Blood Cholesterol levels way down (HDL up) Blood Glucose levels way down. I have WAY more energy when I wake up. -- I used to want to just stay sleeping even though I had 8 hours of sleep, brain would be foggy, now I can get up after 5 or 6 hours of sleep with almost full energy, and fully alert.
I think it depends. I started off 345lbs 6 months ago. Now I am 287. I compared pictures to what I am now, to what I was. I know I will never ever go back to the way I was. I think starting off so obese actually does give me an advantage as I see how much better I fit in clothes, and even though I am still very obese, I already notice people treating me better, since I am not quite as disgusting.
I have been doing a "diet" very low carb, and I don't plan on sticking to it if I dont have to. But I have learned self control, moderation, and more importantly, the importance of nutrition.
That's not to say once I hit my goal weight I wont maybe gain back a few lbs. But I have also been going to the gym for weightlifting and actually enjoy it. It is something I will continue doing. Just started C25K and right now I hate it (as I did weightlifting when I started) but I know once I start seeing significant improvements with my running where it doesn't feel like my lungs are exploding after 45 seconds of jogging that I will enjoy it to. Also when other people who don't know I was focusing on weight loss see me and congratulate me it is such a motivation booster as well.
The only comments I do hate is people saying "oh you're thin!" when clearly I am not since I am still 287lbs.
I have been eating keto diet, and it helps so much. Figure out how much protein you need to eat. Meet this goal. Set max net carbs to 20-30g (or if doing low carb instead, maybe 100g). This is a max, so you don't need to actually hit it. The rest is filled with fats. This keto diet has been a life saver for me, as pure calorie counting was too hard (always hungry).
But it is difficult, the thing is you dont know how much calories are in food. You also have no idea how much calories you burn (sure you can use a TDEE calculator to give a rough idea, but again you have no clue how accurate that is)
Ok so you get a 12 ounce ribeye from the butcher. How much of it is water content, how much of it is actual protein, does it contain a 1/8 layer of fat on the edge or 1/4 inch? How marbled is it. All these factors could easily change the calorie content of the steak by hundreds of calories!
You go to grocery store to buy a boneless skinless chicken breast. Now it is common that they pump those things full of water to make it look more plump/add weight. You weigh it raw. Now you could be eating less protein/calories than you thought you were. Now good luck if someone else is doing the cooking, or you decide to go to a restuarant. I have lost 60lbs in past 6 months and I eat out 3x per week.
gOh wow, a whole $15 difference for 10 years. Big whoop. Penny pinching at the finest. Maybe in 6 years domain names will only be $5.99/year for renewal and then you screwed yourself!\
Ok fair enough, but at the price I got most of these games, even if in a decade they shut down, I still got an extreme value out of my money. Would it suck sure, but I am fine thinking of them as a long lease. I mean there have been very few games I have ever played after a few years of having them anyways.
And with a company worth billions, you think they really going to shut down shop? Goodwill? They making a killing.
Cool, except for every single game I bought on steam, is still in my library.My library consists of over 200 games since 2004. I can still download and install half life 2 which I bought in 2004. If it would have been a cd it would most likely been lost long by now, or scratched to shit so unreadable.
I also get additional benefits -- such as cloud based saves. Easy mod manager -- steam workshop, etc. Sure these are things that could be done without drm, or even without the steam client, but it just makes it so easy.
Also with all the sales, and along with greenmangaming (legit steam reseller which pretty much discounts all brand new games by 25%), I havent paid full price for a game in a couple years.
Well how about instead of at the neck, it instead chops the head in half. Or how about a good old fashion shotgun in the mouth. Plenty of ways to kill someone instantly.. Of course usually the instantly leaves a mess behind.
And that is probably exactly what google is doing with google code -- in the red. So they chucking in the towel. Services/Product that I IMO I believe are safe to use, and not going anywhere - Search Chrome Gmail Drive Docs (sheets, docs, etc) Calendar Youtube Maps (+google earth) Apps (or at least apps for business) Android
Was going to add sketchup -- didn't realize it was sold though.
Maybe a couple products/services I am missing. I would be comfortable using all of these services and not worrying about it shutting down. All the other services (including google plus) I would only use if I was prepared for if it got shut down.
It has been obvious for years that google code was fading. Tons of projects have been migrating away from it to github or another service for the past couple years. I dont know of a single project that migrated to google code from github,
Could you not place solar panels underneath the windmills? There are a few small advantages to solar panels though, in that they can be placed on roofs of buildings, hence not taking up any additional space.
So windows phone (which I still have yet to see someone actually using it in the wild) still has double the market share of a major operating system. Wow.
I think they could get away with no streaming the audio -- that is what the blackbox is for, just telemetry data (and doesn't need to be every second, hell maybe once a minute) saying "I {plane_id} am right here (lat, lng, altitude)"
Well think aboout it, why would Google want to have adblock enabled by default, when most of there revenue comes from ads. Similar with mozilla where a lot of there revenue comes from google (or I guess yahoo now) Microsoft with bing.
Adblock is the 2nd thing I install on a fresh install (right after Chrome) I had the misfortune of having to use a computer that did not have it installed. The internet pretty much seemed unusable.
