    I still go outside to vape even when at home. I know I would inevitably just puff away if I didn't. Often I go outside with a smoker and when they are done so am I. If I'm alone I make a mental note of the time and stop after 10 mins.

  3. Re:Spitting into the wind on Key West Moves To Ban Sunscreens That Could Damage Reefs (miamiherald.com) · · Score: 1

    The town council of Key West is very limited in what they can do to control fertilizer runoff. From what I can tell there is not a whole lot of farming going on there. Banning the sale of certain sunscreens is something they can do. Sure, it doesn't move the bar much but it's something they CAN do. More importantly though it does create awareness and maybe folks with consider other things which actually will make a difference.

    I prefer my burgers not too particular, not too precise.

    Many of the contestants on The Biggest Loser kept the weight off for a year but then gained it all back at the six year mark. It seems to vary from person to person... One guy's body was burning 800 kcal/day less than when he started that show.

    The set point definitely seems to be the key, but there also seems to be more too resetting it than just maintaining a lower weight for a year.

    I wonder if the the 800 cal less per day can be attributed to the fact he was in far better shape after the show and normal every day tasks were far easier to accomplish? Think about how many more calories it must take to move 400lbs up flight of steps vs 200lbs..
