You don't need to do 1-2 hours of exercise to lose weight (hint, I am not saing to be healthy) For losing weight you are far more effective just eating a little less than pounding your ass at the gym for 2 hours which will end up making you more hungry which will cause a zero effect or possibly even negative effect weight wise. Now of course you should do the exercise for health reasons.
Now at the gym you see the people who all roided up and have fantastic looking bodies, and can bicep curl 80lbs, but I bet health wise, they probably aren't very healthy, as they may weigh 240lbs at 12%BF, but either way that is still A LOT of excess weight to be carrying around and hard on your body even if it is muscle.
Cavemen probably didn't live long cause they actually had to risk their lives to kill their food, and didn't have nice centralized heated caved. Now the biggest risk you have is slipping and falling because someone broke a bag of flour.
Then don't use a teflon pan. I use a high quality steel pan, as well as a high quality cast iron. Seasoned and maintaned properly, these things are more non stick than the nonstick pans. You don't even need to use much oil, but I always cook my bacon first then fry the eggs in the bacon grease. I don't remember the last time I had an egg stuck on my cast iron pan was... Oh that's because it has never ever happened.
yes, it is CICO, however the CO can be effected by so many things, that you really don't know what it is. One day maybe you need 2000 calories, next day maybe 3000, and day after maybe 1500. who knows? However there are calculators out there and they are fairly accurate for the AVERAGE person. Some people have medical conditions that affect weight loss. 5 months ago I decided to finally get a grip on my weight. Calculated my BMR, subtracted enough calories to lose at 2lbs per week. I have been averaging 2.3lbs per week for past 5 months (back in november I exercised a lot 1hr per day 5 days a week. Fantastic weight loss in november, but than winter hit and haven't been as motivated) But then there are other people. My grandmother would eat 800 calories a day approx and still slightly overweight, and that included her working out in her flowerbeds 6 hours a day three days a week during the summer (she had MASSIVE flower beds, couple thousand square feet ) . I am assuming she should have been eating a lot more than that, but she was also 90 so who knows what her metabolism was like.
What, so reinvent the wheel? It is suppose to be about creativity. Programming an audio engine, or dynamic light engine for the umpteenth time is not being creative.
Most end users don't care what engine was used, they don't know difference between crytek engine, unity, frostbite, or some homebrew, they just see the end result.
Ive seen good games and bad games on pretty much every engine.
Yup same here. I go to the gym for an hour before work 3 days a week. Then at my desk I keep a cup. Since I drink so much water I generally have to refill the cup every 20-30 min or so. Sure it isn't a couple minute walk, but 20 seconds or so each way, and often Ill stop and stand at someones office and have a quick chat.
Well sure, but then there is obviously some other politics at play that should be addressed. We had about 5 resumes for an open position. 1 was clearly the most qualified for the job (perhaps even overqualified), runner up was still qualified but not quite as much. We interviewed our top choice and while they were brilliant they wouldn't have fit with the rest of the team (she was extremely serious with no sense of humour, rest of the team cracks jokes all day). Runner up had an awesome sense of humour. So we picked the 2nd person (who was also female), she been with us for 2 years now and was the perfect choice, she fits in amazingly with the rest of the team.
How about hiring the best person for the job, and fits well with the rest of the team regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual preference, etc? If it happens to be someone who is white, hispanic, or black who cares?
An idea, that I am not sure of or not, but how about company sponsored outdoor events? Like once a month or, every other friday all employees are encouraged (not required, but gets them out of work for the afternoon so they probably would want to) to go out and play a team sport like ultimate frisbee or soccer or something, could offer a company picnic as well like tuna salad sandwhiches. This could show them that exercising can actually be fun.
Anyways what I was getting at is I wouldn't actually mind if my boss had a meeting with me and was genuinely concerned about my health and offered to help me any way he could. But the way he came off was just hurtful. Now this wouldn't be the same with everybody as some people still have blinders on and in denial, or just think it is a complete invasion of privacy.
I am overweight and 3 months ago my boss (owner of the company) had a meeting with my about my confidence level. He said I would probably have my confidence boosted if I lost 50 lbs. It didn't upset me it was true, but I told him that I actually started losing weight 3 weeks ago (I actually did) and lost 15 lbs already. Now this is where 2 hurtful things he said came. First one was "it doesn't look like it". Fucking really? How encouraging is that. I don't expect him to say he notices that I lost weight or anything(because I doubt I actually did look any different) but what kind of comment is that?
The 2nd thing that was really hurtful was he asked "do you have diabetes?" Ok so he is concerned about me, so I said "no", but then he said "Oh, that's surprising, most people your size do". WTF.. I mean luckily for me I think he is a giant fucking idiot douchebag already, so I just think of him even worse, but those 2 comments did sting a little. If it would have been someone else who was more emotional or had depression or massive self-image issues they would have been left in tears or worse.
My boss is 70 years old chain smoker, I thought of it after, but I wish I would have said "do you have cancer?" and when he said no, reply with "oh, I am surprised, most people your age who still chain smoke are pretty much on their death bed"
This is a small company so he IS the HR, so don't really have someone I could go to. Luckily I love my job other than my boss (which I don't have to interact with very often) so I just shrug it off best I can.
Of course when I lose my weight he will probably be all self congratulating thinking how much of a motivational person he is motivating me to lose weight, forgetting that I told him I already started 3 weeks before the meeting.
Yes and they also pushed 2 year contracts on cell phones vs 3. Guess what happened? Pricing went up at least 20% or more across the board within days, while data was reduced, even for those who didn't want contracts.
What I see of a la carte tv is $10 per channel. or for $20 you get a theme pack of 10 channels! I bet a la carte will be seldom used because the pricing will be outrageous.
weird I am using my 4 year old nvidia video card and other than some places getting lower FPS it runs ok.. In 30 hours I have played it so far, hasn't crashed once
but only to protect against risks that only exist for credit cards in the first place
Ok, some of them are, but theft isn't. I couldget robbed in an ally, lost my wallet, etc. My cash is gone, my credit card is protected. Either way, for me that couple percent is well worth the convenience, protection, and other perks (such as free car rental insurance, double manufacturer warranty, 1.5% cash back, free credit monitoring) all for no annual fees. Just the free credit monitoring itself has a retail value of $10-15 / month
That game is awesome. Still have framerate issues at certain parts, major audio problems, and objectives sometimes randomly disapearing/not working. But this game has massive potential. Haven't had this much fun in a FPS in a long time. Lack of content is going to be an issue, but it is early access.
Between buying this game and prison architect on the weekend sale, I honestly haven't had this much fun gaming in a long time, all from "simple" games (prison architect far from simple) and all for a grand total of $20. Prison architect best tycoon style game I have played in ages.
Funny how a few of these early access games are wiping the floor of the AAA games Top quality ones I have tried so far Prison Architect Aliens Colonial marines 7 Days to Die Kerbal Space Program Space Engineers Broforce
and I am sure there are a few others I haven't personally tried. Of course there is piles of garbage, but a few diamonds and many more diamonds in the rough
except you don't have near the protection as you do with a CC Being able to dispute payments, protection from fraud/stolen card is worth a couple percentage points to me I also get 1.5% cash back (2% gas/groceries) . Sure if everybody stopped using a credit card theoretically prices should go down 2-3%, but the thing is everyone wont. So in the meantime Ill reap the 1.5% cashback reward, thank you very much.
why would someone from ubisoft shill an EA game? I have it on PC, it definitely looks good, I wouldn't say spectacular, but I am also only running it on medium as my aging 560 TI just isn't cutting it anymore for a 1440p res. was hoping for a good deal black friday for a 970 but can't find any.. Oh well hopefully either cyber monday or boxing day.
Yeah that is interesting. I have a couple of military friends and every single one of them eat very little carbs. They must teach nutrition a lot differently in the military.
Yup, just started keto myself early september. Already down 39lbs as of this morning. I eat at least a lb of bacon and a lb of cheese a week. Got my bloodwork done when I started, haven't got another one done yet going to do it early next year. I tried many things in the past, none worked without leaving me starving. First thing I have tried without starving all the time.

right, instead it is called canola or just plain vegetable.

They added MS style ribbons, all in the name of UX

In canada that used to be the case. However now all of the telecoms are ripping up streets themselves laying down new fibre.

so you are wishing identity theft for the employees? I hate sony as much as the next person, but would never wish identity theft on the employees.

Just throwing out ideas.

Ok, so instead you have obama. Great tradeoff.

Yes if Yahoo results were so much better, everyone would be using them/bing.
They forgot the most import bullet point though
- Yahoo paid us the most
