Lost a domain and have a Twitter account linked to an email address on this domain....and I believe you have to 'confirm' the old email to swap, so that will be fun.
(Don't use domainsatcost.com - they didn't send me any notices after 7 days remaining, even tho they claim they did, and by the time I noticed the domain was gone, a squatter picked it up; who's to say they're not in cahoots to charge $100+ for an obscure domain name??)
He better not turn on his TV, he'll find the late-night shows are all having a good laugh about this too...suing Twitter in this way makes about as much sense as suing his TV manufacturer for 'providing' similar commentary.
Don't forget MP3.com, they didn't have a 'buy likes' feature, but there was a pretty healthy 'trade plays' market, since they were paying per play. I actually made a little coin until they realized it couldn't be sustained.
Just as a thought, you can keep the device and still get a new phone (and might want to, just to preserve the life of the iPhone so you can keep using it with the camera.)
The FLIR (and most features) will still work fine without a SIM. I've repurposed an old iPod touch as my 'alarm clock' - in Airplane mode it just sits there for 2-3 weeks on a charge and is quick and easy to set the alarm when I need it, and I get to wake up to a tune I like.
Haven't figured out a use for a 1st gen iPad tho...
Yeah, it's a pretty tricky topic, but I think we need to keep looking at it.
Totally agree about cycling in general, it's mainly what your aerobic engine is capable of. In my own case, I do tend to focus on much shorter events that are more anaerobic, on the velodrome. I'm not a pure sprinter, but my aerobic ability is still taking its time to return, and a lot of that has to do with blood flow, oxygen uptake in muscles, how many kj those muscles can burn, etc.. And it was still a stark contrast from the first year to the fourth.
That's the fun thing with science as we understand these systems more and more - long-held suspicions are confirmed. =)
In my own experience as a fairly high-level bike racer, it's about 2yrs before a serious decline.. In 2014 I moved cities, the new one was a lot less bike-friendly, and I went from training/racing 4-5 days a week to barely commuting. When I did get on the bike for the first year or so, it wasn't too bad, and seemed like there was a fair bit of 'muscle memory'. After that things were a lot less comfortable when I got in the saddle. In 2017 I moved back to my home city, and started training/racing, and after a year I was reasonably fit, but still nowhere near my peak. Even 1.5yrs later I'm still working pretty hard to regain that fitness. (Age is probably also a factor, at 42 this year.)
As for the discussion about transgender athletes, I have wondered about this, and haven't seen much discussion on this particular area. There is a similar argument about athletes who cheat/dope, and how long those benefits last....being able to train harder does convey better fitness, and even when 'going clean' I think there's still a lot of residual benefits from the doped training. I do wonder if there's a similar occurrence in gender going from male to female.
On the flip side, is this even a question for female athletes who switch to male?
And please don't vote this down - I think we should be able to have a discussion on the matter, and I've been friends with and supportive of trans athletes since at least 2006 and am fully supportive of their inclusion in sport in whatever capacity those athletes wish to compete in. That doesn't mean we can't also ask hard and uncomfortable questions and try and come up with sporting competition that's more fair for all...in many sports (especially at lower levels) the gender split is unnecessary even, and 'ability based' competition is a growing trend, where you race people who are at a similar level, regardless of age or gender.
As a vegan of almost 30yrs, I'd say this: even if plants were sentient (which is a pretty far stretch by all accounts), eating them directly is still much better than eating animals if this is your concern. If a typical stat is that it take 12lbs of grain to produce 1lb of meat, eating animals contributes to significantly more plants being 'murdered', so it's still better (causes less harm) to just eat plants.
Further, the definition of veganism is explicitly states "animals", not 'sentient life', so even if 'conscious', consuming plants is still vegan. If this is to be taken seriously, a new philosophy would have to be created to be inclusive of plants (I think the fruitarian idea is along those lines.)
And as an interesting side fact, approximately zero apples grown result in 'natural apple propagation', since pretty much all orchards are made with cuttings, and not grown from seed. (Apple seeds are notoriously known for not producing trees that grow similar source fruit. So if you want a specific-tasting apple, you need to find cuttings from a tree already growing that fruit, otherwise you'll end up with different tasting apples.)
I find this puzzling. I ignore my mobile most of the time. I've disabled most notifications (and rely on email notifications for the most part, and check at my leisure.) Even with text messaging, thanks to the new Android app, that's in a browser for me, and I respond at my own convenience. Although to be honest that's pretty low traffic as well.
I can't be the only person who has one of these, and can go several hours without attending to it....maybe adopting an attitude more along these lines would help.
For me, the main thing is convenience and safety, and playing music. It's not something that gets a lot of my attention otherwise.
Very long-lasting, very comfortable, handy customizable quick-access buttons, my personal fav by far.
Funnily I opted to get a new one a few months ago (the pad does start to wear after several years, I believe the one I replaced was from around 2007), and about a week after I got it someone was giving away a mint one a few doors down..so got a back-up as well.;)
So what? It's their platforms, why can't they have a political bias? If I ran a website with a political bias, would that be breaking any laws? I wonder if Trump properties have a 'bias' to who they rent to? Is Trump willing to speak up there as well if commercial entities can't have a political bias?
I dunno - all the advanced cycling software that I'm aware of (like Training Peaks/WKO) pretty much ignore heart rate in the calculations, and focuses entirely on other metrics like cadence and wattage. So much so that it doesn't even notice if you stop tracking HR (which I did for a few years.)
Heart rate has its use, but all the factors you mention typically translate into being able to push the pedals harder. For me, pedaling 100w will barely raise my HR from my normal active HR. Up it to 400w and things change pretty dramatically pretty quickly.
And keeping warm isn't really a thing during relatively intense aerobic activity if you're not naked or in extreme cold - something like 75% of the energy spent is wasted in heat generation, and efficient athletes will be able to turn about 25% of calories burned into actual work. In aerobic efforts, more energy is probably spent trying cool things down and expel heat than to intentionally warm up any body part.
I eat quite a bit more not riding, plus I eat while riding as well, typically a bar an hour.
It's fairly common to see riders who stop riding put on a ton of weight because they're eating portions similar to what they ate while training/racing, and it's just too many calories. I took 3yrs off the bike recently as well, and while my race weight is in the 155-160lb range, I got up to 170lbs pretty quick until I reduced my meal portions, then dropped to 165lbs and stayed there. When I started back up over a year ago, there was a pretty obvious change in body composition, body fat was reduced significantly (again), and muscles replaced them, and back down to 160lbs (typical for me when focusing more on sprinting).
I also train using a power meter, which measures the actual amount of work I do, which is translated into watts, and also easily converted to calories, and harder sessions typically result in 600-800 calories burned per hour, sometimes more. (This is a lot more accurate than measuring heart rate.) A typical 3hr ride for me will average around 200w. (Sort of like going to Science World and riding the bike with the light bulbs there, and lighting up two 100w light bulbs for 3hrs. I think modern bikes in the gym also give you watts now too, as well as rowing machines.)
Once you're conditioned to higher activity levels, your BMR does stabilize of course, but I'm pretty sure it's more efficient now than it was a couple years ago.
Wha?? As an endurance cyclist, what exactly is allowing me to ride 2-6hrs other than calories? Of course you burn calories through cardio. Otherwise every endurance athlete on the planet would be the most obese people there are due to the amount we eat.
Further, I believe the opposite of what you say is true - as you become more fit, your BMR actually decreases, because your body becomes more efficient. (At the same time, you also gain the ability to burn more calories through exercise/cardio because you can do more longer as you improve.)
I haven't had any problems with several different brands of after-market ink cartridges. Found some on NewEgg that are about $2 each (instead of around $20 for official retail). Haven't had any problems over the years FWIW. Their software is also relatively minimal, extra points for that.
Wondering why vocal command isn't included in this list? I know people who dictate text messages and other memos in their phones (and have for several years)..this could easily get to the point where we vocalize a lot of what we want to input. (Although this could cause vocal strain after extended use, so not ideal either..)
The only Apple devices I happen to still have kicking around are an original iPad, iPhone 4 and old iPod Touch (which has been repurposed as an alarm clock by my bed..actually works fairly well, battery lasts a few weeks in airplane mode!)
Will I be able to watch these on my iPad, or use my account to log in and watch these elsewhere? Or is it only for recent Apple purchases?
Oh, for sure, we're fine for a long time without consuming protein...but it wouldn't be a straight conversion of 50g of senescent cells to 50g of usable protein. I don't know the breakdown, but I'd imagine that most of the cell isn't protein...and the other side of the question is how many g of senescent cells are in the average person?
Interesting idea.. On this thread though, are enough of these cells in a typical person to really make a difference on protein requirements? I'd imagine muscle tissue would be a considerably larger source. I doubt we have muscle-sized amount of senescent cells, eh?

Yay, we have fun new term!
