I see more big box sports stores now than ever before. Seems to be a growing industry.
Granted nowadays, 4/5ths of the store is dedicated to clothing, so they're more "Clothing stores with some sport equipment in them". Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, Academy Sports, Dicks, REI, Sportsman Warehouse, and a few financially viable local chains. More sports stores now than there has ever been.
As for book stores, they're still around, but the remaining hold-outs seem to be larger bookstores. Waldenbooks and B. Dalton seem to be hard to find these days but Books-a-million and Barnes and Noble are everywhere still.
The internet has hurt brick and mortar but it is far from killing it.
Yeah, and I was always forced to eat everything on my plate, regardless.
Mum grew up a refugee with limited food, so it's easy to see why she enforced the rule that no food be wasted; unfortunately, it might have trained my brain at a young age to ignore mental cues that I might be full. And now, to maintain a healthy weight I have to stay hungry because my brain turned off the "stop eating" message.... or it could be something completely different.
I'm not disagreeing with your statement. I'm just saying, by going out of your way to hide, "the man" is going to want to snoop all that much more- they're going to jump to assumptions. That's what the man does.
What we need are guns that are built into computer monitors. Anyone can fire them from anywhere in the world rendering their internet foe dead immediately. Then no one will spy on you.
The trick of course is getting your foe to buy a monitor that can kill them.
Talking about putting people in boxes. If you use Tor, expect the government to be looking at you a little closer. Surely you must have something to hide if you have Tor.
It's like putting a box in the break room with a note saying "do not peak" written on it. Everyone is going to open the box. Use Tor and the government is going to want to see what you're doing.
It's a lot easier to cut out 1000 calories by eating something healthy rather than McDonalds than it is to raise your metabolism enough to burn 1000 extra calories.
Yeah, if you're smart you'll exercise too; but cutting out junk food is better than nothing.
They could be spending time on the computer or watching TV instead.
That they chose to do something active suggests that they do have more proclivity towards working hard. I have found that in times of my life when I was more physically active, I had more energy and drive to do mental pursuits too. I would say that exercising makes your more inclined to work hard. No evidence for that, just casual observation about my own life and others around me.
Actually, there was a study done earlier in the year (someone else google it if you want a source) that basically claimed your body has a sort of "weight memory". Your metabolism will slow as you lose weight to try and encourage your body to gain weight.
To explain this (using numbers I just made up, but study used real data) the study said something like this happens:
Take two men. Both 6ft, both weigh 180lbs. Both have a calorie requirement of 2200 Calories to maintain a constant weight.
Man A stays 180lbs, but Man B eats at McDonalds once a week for a year and balloons up to 250lbs. Man B corrects his diet and loses weight back down to 180lbs.
He should have the same dietary requirements as Man A, right? No, now because of Man B's "weight memory" he needs only 1700 Calories to maintain his weight, any more and he gains weight.
Basically, gain weight once and you're screwed because your body tries to return you to your upper-weight memory by dropping your metabolism. If I recall, they didn't explain what caused this weight memory, if it was our own biology, our gut biology, or what. Basically though, once you're fat, you have to work extra hard not to get fat again for the rest of your life.
Eating less fast food has far more to do with marketing than actually feeling full. No one stops in the middle of a Super-sized triple-decker McShitburger "happy" meal just because they feel full. Not when there's still 2 pounds of french fries left.
I almost never feel full. I don't know if it's my biome, my genome, my upbringing, or what. I always feel like I could eat more. As a teen and 20 something when I could eat unlimited amounts of crap and not gain weight, I would be one of those eating 5 or 6 plates of food from an all you can eat-buffet.
As I hit my 30's I began to gain weight so had to start watching what I eat. I'm always hungry, I always feel like I could eat more, but I limit what I eat to stay healthy. Some of us, myself included, never feel full. It takes a huge amount of willpower for me to not overeat and maintain a healthy weight. I fully sympathise with those who do get huge because they have large appetites. It would certainly be very easy to let go and just pig out rather than be hungry all the time, like I am.
Many people who are overweight aren't so because they continued eating after they felt full, they just don't feel full.
If it makes it more difficult and expensive to build a "weaponized drone", then it serves a purpose. Even if it doesn't stop all drones, it is useful. People often make the mistake of thinking if a single deterrent doesn't stop everything by itself it is useless. That isn't the case, you need layers of defense.
For stopping some teen flying his toy at an airport, this is absolutely a viable choice. Stopping Russia from attacking the white house? Maybe not.
I've had excellent service from Amazon in the US too. I've never had a problem with Amazon, infact, they've exceeded what I would have hoped for on a couple of occasions.
I've been slightly disappointed with other sellers on Amazon, but never treated completely unfairly.
At one point adding more dpi was improving a phone, now, I doubt anyone can really tell the difference between the phone with the best resolution and one a pay grade lower.
1) If your battery doesn't drop below 20% it doesn't degrade as quickly. Keeping your battery always between 20% to 80% will make your battery last longer.
2) The earbuds not working is just an upgrade to get older apple devices working like newer ones.

They were, but they were recharged with a USB cable.

Technically you can watch TV whilst at the gym.

Like all Pet Rocks, utterly pointless.
/ Pet Rocks are great for throwing at home invaders.
Yeah, I know Poop transplants don't work like that, but reality isn't as amusing.
Eat Michael Phelps Poo!
Now you too can lose weight, eat Michael Phelps poo and you too can lose up to 100lbs in 5 weeks; don't believe us, watch these amazing testamonials:
"I used to eat Michael Jordan's Poop and it helped a little but after switching to Phelps poo I dropped two dress sizes".
Call now for your free sample of feces.
Yeah, and eat too much protein and you get kidney/liver disease.
We're screwed. Water alone for me from now on.

Actually, the food processing industry might like this paper:
"See, it's not the unhealthy crap we sell, it's the gut biome of the people eating our crap to blame"
If you stop eating altogether, the hunger goes away.

First Crystal Meth, now Diamond Cocaine.

Maybe you could get a job in an Apple store as a phone curver; bring a job back from China.
Everyone's information is going straight to China.

It's a feature not a bug.
