  1. Re:Bike to work on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    It's quick (15 minutes plus pre and post-stretching) and very good for you

    Hmmn. When I took the induction at the gym I used to attend (about two years ago now), they said that people are no longer advised to stretch before exercise because cold muscles can be far more easily damaged by overstretching. They say just stretch afterwards..

    Anyone else been given this advice?

    Buy our chair but you can only put it in the living room, next to a leather sofa or it will self-destruct. Sitting in the chair means that you belong to us... etc. etc.

    If you stop losing weight, it means you'll have to cut more calories.

    ..or exercise more to burn calories. Losing weight is a bad goal. What you should be interested in is obtaining a lean body with good muscle tone; a good power-to-weight ratio. Can you do more than one pull-up? Try it, it's a real motivator to increase your power-to-weight ratio. If you can't lift your own body weight, you're screwed if you ever need to climb out of a pit of tigers with a taste for geek! ;)

    Another key to losing weight is to sleep at night feeling a little hungry

    ..and have your central heating no higher than 20deg celcius. let your body keep itself warm by burning energy stores.

    Or.. more to the point, eating little and often (every three hours) will tell your body that it can always expect an energy boost in the immediate future, so there's no need for it to add to the fat stores. Of course a little fat is always nice as a backup. Think UPS for your body.

  14. Re:Mix, trust, evaluate on Guide For Small Team Programming? · · Score: 1

    If you're not used to dealing with people then it might be worth while skimming a book that lists different personality types. (They all do it differently.) For example some people are good at detail, some good at starting, some bad at finishing - through losing interest and some bad at finishing because they must have absolute perfection. Being aware of these quirks will make you a better manager.

    Good suggestion. Would you recommend one please? :)

    While we're at it, low emissions vehicles still produce emissions. We should just let people go on with whatever they want until a zero emission vehicle is created. After all, what's the point in doing what you can when you can if you can't do it all at once?

    You know, you're right. In the same vein, next time you're thirsty, don't bother to drink, 'cause you know it will only cure your thirst for so long. Clearly pointless. Wait until someone invents a drink that will cure your thirst once-and-for-all.

    Let's take a poll and treat the result as conclusive. 'Cause that's all that matters. The physical processes underway don't matter. If we can have a popularity-contest say it's not happening, then it's not. There's no place for scientists using The Scientific Method to try to understand these physical processes... If we want hummers and cowboy hats, we can bribe the media to make the earth stop doing what it's doing. After all, everyone's entitled to their opinion, arent' they? Just because you have scientific evidence, doesn't mean you can make me or my countrymen believe it if we don't want to. Yee-haw! If I want to help destroy the climate for everyone, I'm entitled to.
