Yes, not everything has a barcode, but the app I'm using has a search function that allows you to either add the ingredients or the food item if the barcode is unavailable (at a restaurant for example). You can can also save a given meal or food item for easy addition later. I frequently make Thai Curry from store-bought curry paste. The paste itself has a negligible amount of calories, and is less calorie dense than coconut milk. So I just scanned the barcode for the that, added in some ballpark figures for whatever vegetables I added, and logged how much meat and rice I used. Now whenever I eat that, I can just go to my pre-saved meal and adjust the amount of rice or curry sauce I use and I'm good to go.
Your measurements don't have to be exact. When I guess at something I try to err on the side of logging more than I actually ate. Doing otherwise is really just lying to yourself.
There's an almost magic weight loss formula I've followed that just works. I was going to write a book about it, but as it turns out it would be more of a pamphlet or brochure in length.
Just make sure the following is true: calories consumed
I've been monitoring my calorie intake using a free app (My Fitness Pal) and it's been working great. I can scan barcode for just about anything that has one (it sometimes doesn't find odd things I might purchase in, say, an Asian Grocery). You punch in what your goal weight is, and how much you want to lose per week and it calculates your calorie intake and keeps track of how much of various nutrients you're getting (Sodium, Potassium, etc).
I told the app I wanted to lose 2 pounds per week, and over 15 weeks lost exactly 30 pounds. It takes a bit of discipline, but it helps develop the habits you'll need to keep the weight off.
This country is doomed. I'm not sure anything can be done at this point other than put your head between your legs and wait for the wreckage to come to a complete stop.
Absolutely, but that's not really relevant to my comment or the one I replied to. He was saying that when computer parts manufacturers raise prices, he just buys his parts from someone else. And that works fine as longs as those parts are completely interchangeable (memory, hard drives, etc). But if you're selling ebooks, and you don't like Neal's publisher, then you simply can't sell his books unless you cave to their demands.
As Amazon said, the publishers have a monopoly on works by their authors.
That's all well and good when you're selling things for which equivalents can be easily found. For books if you want (say) the newest Neal Stephenson book, and you don't like the publisher's prices you can't just say "Well screw them, I'm going to get Neal's new book from this other publishers".
I live in a state (Washington) that requires Amazon to charge me sales tax, and I still shop there. The main reason is free 2-day shipping (Prime only). I couldn't care less about sales tax when I can order something and have on my porch the next day for $3.99 or the day after for free.
Yeah, the search and presentation of results is really horrible on Amazon. What I've been doing lately is using Newegg to find the exact mix of features that I want and then searching Amazon for that model number to get free shipping via Prime.
From what I understand, most of the energy generated by an internal combustion engine is waste heat. Power plants (even ones that burn coal) are much more efficient. With an electric car, more of the energy released from burning fuel is used to actually move the car.
Yeah, I suppose the increased performance, better camera, larger screen and oh yeah, LTE had nothing to do with it. It's all just a fashion statement right?
During my time in the military, we were told to make sure we drank at least a canteen of water with our MREs, or the acronym would no longer stand for Meals Ready to Eat.
Note the "robots made of meat" part of the comment you replied to. Have you seen the people the TSA puts at the Checkpoints? I think the only reason we confuse them with thinking, rational humans is that they share the same general form.
I don't mind being passed at all. What I have a problem with is being tailgated. I've been rear-ended and I find people getting too close to be very distracting and uncomfortable, like when you're going 10-15 over the limit on a rural road and some asshat is less than a car length behind you. Or when you're stuck behind someone else on the same road and there's no option to pass and the guy behind you is right on your ass. I generally give the tailgater a brake-check and then slow down if he doesn't get the hint.
Objectively, a tablet is a laptop without a keyboard or the ability to do a lot of things laptops do, but with a higher price tag. The only reason to own one is that they're fashionable and hip.
Your comments betray either a strong anti-apple bias, or a complete lack of imagination. Aside from reading ebooks, there are a lot of other tasks a tablet is more suited to by virtue of its form factor, smaller-size, longer battery life, etc.
For example, when we go on long car trips, my kids and I can play board games by passing the iPad around to who's turn it is. And we can use it solidly for hours. Also, I like to play tabletop war games (warhammer 40k, etc). I have all of the rules on the pad where its form factor for this task is so much more usable than a laptop is.
Seriously? Obviously you should take the money you were planning to use for a tablet to get yourself a gym membership. I regularly browse the internets on my ipad while holding it one hand. What I do with the other hand I leave as an exercise for the reader's imagination.
I'm perfectly at ease with my 'hypocrisy' of wanting more boobies and less penis in my movies. I understand that some people (you among them probably) want more penis. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.
Where in my post did I say I was offended or had a fit about the giant blue penis? You should get off your high horse and calm the fuck down. I prefer my movies without male nudity because I'm not attracted to those parts. And yes, I fully support gratuitous female nudity in film (or any other visual media).
Also, no one gives a shit about Finnish movies or the amount of nudity in them.

This isn't about preventing employees from knowing. It's about keeping classified information off of unclassified networks.
No, it's about the people in charge wanting to be appear to be doing something.

So, kind of like a Neal Stephenson book? (disclaimer: Cryptonomicon is probably my favorite book ever)
but you can't just snap your fingers and make that happen.
Perhaps if you snapped your fingers in a Z formation.
"two were high school classmates."
That's going to make for an awkward High School reunion.

Nearly 13GB should be enough for everyone.
Reductio ad absurdum. You sound tea party-ish.

If that's being a dick then at least it is hard love
Pun intended?

Idiot.

They would be Meals that Refuse to Exit.

Chile without beans is just spicy spaghetti sauce.
But look at how Sony was dressed. They were asking for it.
