I do eat healthy, but tend to avoid stairs where possible as they aggravate my arthritis. My theory is that it's better to be able to walk 1000m and sleep for 5+ hours than to take an extra flight of stairs.
Yeah... Some people will use it as an excuse, and some people will troll (the "attack helicopter" claim). That doesn't detract from the good stuff that has come from the movement though.
The cells Panasonic makes for Tesla cars are rated for 3000 cycles. Standard lifetime for batteries is the point at which they retain less than 80% of their original capacity.
Phone batteries tend to be closer to 500 cycles, which is why they are usually noticeably degraded after a couple of years, or even 18 months for heavy users.
However, the other factor to consider is how easy it is to manufacture, repair and replace a given type of battery. If you can restore lost capacity just by adding water, say, it's not such an issue if it only lasts 50 cycles.
It's worth saying that the body positive movement does care about harmful images of male bodies like He-Man too.
Male body image has improved since the 1980s when He-Man was popular. It's far from perfect but these days the characters in children's cartoons tend to have much more realistic body types. Disney still seems to be obsessed with the square jawed muscle bound dude but even they are starting to improve.
That's rather missing the point about the body positive movement. Yes, health is an issue, but not the only one. You also have to ask if Hollywood really gives a shit about presenting thin people as a way to "encourage" a healthy lifestyle.
Not everyone can be their ideal weight and go to the gym three times a week. Personally I don't think shaming them for that is likely to motivate them to do something about it. Certainly doesn't work with me, because all my energy goes into deal with other health issues and other shit in my life. That's not to say that any support wouldn't be welcome, but your comment doesn't sound very supportive.
Their stated reason (from your link) seems reasonable:
"The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology."
They were willing to proxy the site until the owners started claiming that Cloudflare were secret Nazis.
I think we know what they are about. By the time people get to sites like that it's too late. To stop them being radicalized it's better to look to YouTube, Reddit and 4chan.
You know the far right is on the ropes when they stop trying to defend their position and start pushing conspiracy theories about actors paid to put on a fake Nazi march and fight with the (real) leftists.
Of course, all these actors are so loyal to the cause, none of them have come forward with proof (like a paycheck).
This one is weaker than Pizzagate, on a par with moon landing denial.
It's a real shame that when someone posts a carefully worded, calm and rational argument with sources to back it up, some people feel the need to mod it down. Mod it "troll" even.
Slashdot used to be a place you could come for a good debate. Sure, it got heated, but the moderation was mostly fair and rewarded people who took the time to make a good argument. Now it's just becoming an echo chamber, where moderation's primary purpose is to filter anything that goes against the correct narrative.
I defy anyone to defend a "troll" mod on the parent post.
Lawyers are not people people. They are about the law, a highly technical subject. If they had more empathy and engaged with people more, they wouldn't be hatred so much.
It's reasonable to explore them, but it has to be in an informed way. If Damore had actually asked the people who wrote the sources he thought he understood, they would have told him that he was wrong.
That's the basic problem here. It's called the incoherence problem. Smart people read these sources, think they understand them, combine them all together than reach an unwarranted conclusion.
So in order to have a good debate about these issues, we need to first accept that we need to ask questions of the experts who write these papers, and not try to infer too much from our own reading or interpretation.
I think he means they said something like "there are not enough black voices in this debate, there are too many white people whose opinions are listened to and things are not improving".
Then he took that substring and quoted it out of context to make idiots think that BLM advocates genocide.
I've largely given up trying. If it isn't on the BBC or Netflix I just go to the Pirate Bay. Life is too short to waste trying to find where I can watch something, buying the necessary equipment, dealing with the inevitable technical problems...
I occasionally buy CDs from bands I like, but they go straight into a box and I grab a.flac copy from TPB to save getting the DVD drive out and ripping it.
"Women as a group score higher on neuroticism in Schmitt's meta-analysis, sure, but he doesn't buy that you can predict the population-level effects of that difference. "It is unclear to me that this sex difference would play a role in success within the Google workplace (in particular, not being able to handle stresses of leadership in the workplace.

But, the good guys are still there and they are somewhat left behind as well. They quietly watch the bullies from the Lord of the Flies and go about their business.
I have seen this happen and as a man it can be hard to speak up. You get accused of political correctness, and excluded from anything remotely fun because you are labelled a killjoy. Sometimes it goes the other way, the guy being a dick ends up ostracised, it really depends on the workplace.

That's just double-talk. Wikipedia has a good article on the alt-right, including many sources more reputable than you.
The alternative right is just the far right attempting to replace the moderate right in mainstream politics. They have had some success too, having guys like Bannon in the White House and a president who they see as being supportive. The moderate right, especially in the Republican party, should be doing more to protect their movement because the alt-right is doing it immense damage. Not just with stuff like this, but with alternative facts and the pantomime at the top of your government.
Losing isn't a reason to give up or be quiet though. The anti-EU crowd lost the 1975 referendum, campaigned for 40 years and then won Brexit. Now the pro-EU people are campaigning to cancel or at least reduce the damage from Brexit, and eventually re-join.
As someone who is pro-EU, I can guarantee that I'll never "get over it". It's fucked things up too much for that, and even if it takes decades it can be fixed.
I'm hopeful that they have overplayed it somewhat. By being so open about their true colours, it might turn a lot of people away from them and from Trump. Trump himself is desperately trying to manage the situation, keeping the alt-right on side because they were so critical to getting him elected.
The site is almost certainly leaking all kinds of information about its visitors and the server it is on. Setting up a Tor site is actually kind of hard, and just moving a clearweb site to the dark web is bound to be problematic without a substantial rewrite.
References to clear-web content (especially script), time-zone information, unprotected configuration files and databases...
And just being on Tor doesn't help them anyway. The site still has to be hosted somewhere. Most hosts are not keen on Tor sites in general. Chances are if they can find a site willing to host a Tor server they would be willing to host it on the clearweb anyway.

A lot of nerds have body image issues. I think it's relevant.

Here's a question for which the answer isn't money:
Is it okay that movies, which have a big influence on our culture, are driven purely by money?
In fact they aren't really driven just by money, there is an artistic element and there is a moral element in film making, but money still dominates.
That's rather missing the point about the body positive movement. Yes, health is an issue, but not the only one. You also have to ask if Hollywood really gives a shit about presenting thin people as a way to "encourage" a healthy lifestyle.

Trunk always does this, it should come as no surprise.
"I settled that lawsuit, but I could have won it. It just wasn't worth my time."
"I said it all along, best to just let Obamacare fail."
And hopefully one day
"You get impeach me, I quit."

BLM has never said anything of the sort.
I think he means they said something like "there are not enough black voices in this debate, there are too many white people whose opinions are listened to and things are not improving".
Then he took that substring and quoted it out of context to make idiots think that BLM advocates genocide.

Did it say anything about women being inferior to men
Yes. To quote directly: "higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance"
There is no qualification. He takes that as a simple statement of fact and proposes solutions based on it.
The author of the source he cites to back it up says that the conclusion is unwarranted:
"Women as a group score higher on neuroticism in Schmitt's meta-analysis, sure, but he doesn't buy that you can predict the population-level effects of that difference. "It is unclear to me that this sex difference would play a role in success within the Google workplace (in particular, not being able to handle stresses of leadership in the workplace. That's a huge stretch to me)," writes Schmitt. So, yes, that's the researcher Damore cites disagreeing with Damore."
But, the good guys are still there and they are somewhat left behind as well. They quietly watch the bullies from the Lord of the Flies and go about their business.
I have seen this happen and as a man it can be hard to speak up. You get accused of political correctness, and excluded from anything remotely fun because you are labelled a killjoy. Sometimes it goes the other way, the guy being a dick ends up ostracised, it really depends on the workplace.
Hence why this guy was fired.
I think it was more to do with his unwarranted conclusions. He has been debunked by the authors of the very papers he was citing in the memo.
"Women as a group score higher on neuroticism in Schmittâ(TM)s meta-analysis, sure, but he doesnâ(TM)t buy that you can predict the population-level effects of that difference. "It is unclear to me that this sex difference would play a role in success within the Google workplace (in particular, not being able to handle stresses of leadership in the workplace. Thatâ(TM)s a huge stretch to me)," writes Schmitt. So, yes, thatâ(TM)s the researcher Damore cites disagreeing with Damore."
This is a week old account which has only posted on topics about the Google memo. Most of the posts appear to be badly copy/pasted.
I tried to read it but it's an impenetrable wall of text.

He will never live this down now.

It's probably on some list of words that some ad network banned. The GNAA posts are still alive and well at -1.
