How much of that 1h15m is spent on getting ready and how much on getting to the bus stop ?
First alarm (air raid siren) at 4:30AM. Second alarm (beeper) at 4:45AM. On the toilet between 5:00AM and 5:15AM, in the shower between 5:15AM and 5:25AM, and dressed by 5:35AM. Ten minute walk to the bus stop to get there by 5:45PM.
Some do, others eat healthy foods, but their bodies have betrayed them.
The New York Times had an article on a scientific study of the 2009 Biggest Loser contestants who regain their weight because their metabolism slowed down while dieting (expected) but their metabolism never recovered (unexpected). If they ate the normal calories for their height and weight, they would be eating an extra 400 to 800 calories that their body wants to regain the lost weight.
So, you spend pretty much 5 hours (2.5 hours each way) a day just traveling back and forth to work?!?!?
Nope. I get up at 4:30AM, I'm at the bus stop at 5:45AM, I'm at the cafeteria at 6:45AM, and I'm at my desk at 7:00AM. Going home can take 60 to 90 minutes to get home, depending on traffic conditions. I'm usually home by 5PM at the latest.
That's a LOT of life you're giving up there man.
I'm paying an extra $70 per month for the express bus to have someone else drive me through hell and back on the freeways. Meanwhile, I'm reading The Wall Street Journal in the morning and an ebook in the afternoon.
To get up that early...what time do you crash at? 8pm?
I usually fall asleep between 8:30PM and 10:30PM to get eight to six hours of sleep.
I typically don't have breakfast until 2.5 hours after I wake at 4:30AM and ride the express bus for 25 miles to work, getting my large skinny vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich at the cafeteria. Better to have breakfast after I'm done traveling in the morning. No risk of getting motion sickness and hurling on someone.
Obviously we need programmers to work in interactive debuggers at all times, and, when the environment detects a bug, it gives the developer an electric shock.
As a lead software tester in a former life (I currently do government IT work), I've always requested the use of a cattle prod when talking to the programmers about they think the user is supposed to do with the application and what I've proven user can do to crash the application. "Users don't do that!" isn't a valid excuse for not fixing a crash bug. My requests for the cattle prods were always denied by management.
Assuming he possessed a fake badge, and one wasn't planted by the police, the same force who also goes taking bribe money from hookers on the streets in plain view without giving a fuck.
According to the article, he got in trouble for impersonating a police officer in 2010 and 2014. Let me guess... the police planted the badge on him in both incidents?
The wonderful thing about American Liberals is that think that everywhere is just like America! How provincial. How bourgeois.
If you bothered to read my comment, I pointed out what would happen in the US. Short history lesson: most legal systems around the world are based on Roman law. Whatever can happen legally in the US, can also happen elsewhere in the world.
Ah yes, the Segway. It was supposed to "revolutionize the world", and was a huge flop that practically no one wanted.
Segway obviously over-engineered their product. If they have dropped the handle, it would have been revolutionary. Hoverboards are replacing skateboards for youngsters. I've seen more of those than Segways in public.
I wonder how much the original FDA certification added to the cost of an iBot.
American consumers will probably pay for the privilege as manufacturers claim a higher price to recoup the cost of R&D. Meanwhile, due to price controls to contain rising medical costs, it'll be a lot cheaper in other countries.
The only time I see a two-wheel Segway these days is a rent-a-cop cruising around a tech campus. Meh... Now the three-wheel Segway is much cooler (see link below). I'm always tempted to jump on one to take out for a test drive. Lights flashing, of course.:)
Really, it's laughable to suggest it's anything other than that.
Try reading the article. (Yes, the Google translation is worse than most Slashdot summaries). Not only did he have an imitation badge, he also used the badge to pretend to be a police officer in 2010 and 2014. If he was a hacker without a "wannabe cop" mentality, things would have turned out differently.
Do we know this isn't one of those plastic badges that come with various Halloween outfits and it may have belonged to his kid brother or something like that?
According to the article, possession of a imitation police badge was the basis for the criminal charge. A badge from a Halloween costume or cereal box wouldn't warrant a charge by itself unless the person used it while pretending to be a cop, which would be a charge of "under color of authority" in the US.

Why are you contracting them by email? You want a better response, start a chat window to have a conversation with a human being.
Not much of an "express" bus is it if it takes than long to go 25 miles. I make that 10 mph average.
The express bus takes an hour each way. If I took the local buses, it would take two hours each way.

At 5'10" and 200 pounds your BSR is in the 1900 calorie / day range. (Look it up).
I'm 5'10" and 350 pounds. You figure it out. I don't know what BSR means and Google isn't being too helpful.
Figure out how much you exercise (walk, stairs, gym, bike, etc..) and work with that.
I walk 20 minutes per day during the week and work out at the gym on the weekend.
Keep you calories under that amount and you will lose weight. Above you gain.
My daily diet is 1,500 calories / 150 grams of carbs per day, less than what I need.
Eating one meal or 10; after 8PM or not; it's the calories that count.
Breakfast is "breaking fast." Between my last meal of the day and the first meal of the day should be at least a 12-hour fast.
So, you spend pretty much 5 hours (2.5 hours each way) a day just traveling back and forth to work?!?!?
Nope. I get up at 4:30AM, I'm at the bus stop at 5:45AM, I'm at the cafeteria at 6:45AM, and I'm at my desk at 7:00AM. Going home can take 60 to 90 minutes to get home, depending on traffic conditions. I'm usually home by 5PM at the latest.

Find out your BSR (what you need just to survive) .
My BMR score is 2,476 calories per day.
Count calories.
My diet is 1,500 calories/150 grams of carbs per day.
Try to eat well (within the range of calories)
I have my last meal before 6PM and get eight hours of sleep.
The key for most people is not to eat after 8PM and get enough sleep each night.
I typically don't have breakfast until 2.5 hours after I wake at 4:30AM and ride the express bus for 25 miles to work, getting my large skinny vanilla latte and breakfast sandwich at the cafeteria.

What land of Reality do you live in?
Certainly, not the one where the news story took place.
Certainly, not the one that I live in.
America, early 21st century. You should try reading the news more often. Reality in America might shock you.

A segway with a seat.
Re-read my original comment. I didn't mention a Segway with a seat.
Especially when it's "found" using advanced searching techniques.
A search warrant is an "advanced searching technique" these days?

Now the paul blarts will get even lazier and fattier, just sitting in their segways.
Neither the two-wheeled nor three-wheeled Segways have seats, and sitting on the step well isn't a comfortable position.
Also, getting lazier and fattier is the purpose of any technological development. Otherwise, we would still be hunting our food and be hunted as food.
The only time I see a two-wheel Segway these days is a rent-a-cop cruising around a tech campus. Meh... Now the three-wheel Segway is much cooler (see link below). I'm always tempted to jump on one to take out for a test drive. Lights flashing, of course. :)

Nothing screams like "wannabe cop" than possessing a fake badge. If that wasn't found, the case my have turned out differently.
CBS has a new Star Trek TV series in the works. Based on the new trailer (see below), Axanar looks a lot better in comparison.
