Guess what, regular workouts improve the cardiovascular system, so the heart can pump more blood in a beat. Thus very fit athletes can have resting heart rates in the 40ish range and even lower (benign sinus bradycardia), while average resting heart rate for normal people is in the 70 bpm range; slackers and obese people reach 90 bpm.
Could it be that you are doing it not quite right? You should start slowly, have a good warm up to prevent a bad case of DOMS, exercise regularily two-three times a week, raising your goals slowly but steadily. After two weeks DOMS ought to almost disappear and after two months or so you should be fit enough to feel comfortable at the very least - or even go reach the flow - and have a sense of achievment after each workout (something like "holy shit, I never have thought I'd ever be able to lift that much weight/run such a long distance").
Wrong. After you become 30 you will lose 1% of your muscle mass every year if you don't exercise. Slowing muscle loss or even gaining muscle mass is a huge benefit. Strenghtening the bones is also a good thing.
As for you gaining weight, it is basically very simple: if you eat more than your body needs, you will get fat, whether you do sports or not. Also when you get progressively more fit, your body will expend less energy while exercising, so either you will need to push yourself harder or eat less than accustomed.
If cycling was not good enough to keep your weight then your normal eating is really excessive.
WTF? German neo-nazis are never punk anarchists. In fact, they beat up or even kill punks.
Also, get your other facts straight. In Germany, swastika is only allowed in the historical context because this law was dictated by the allied control council after the end of WW2.
I don't know what Germany's Rightwingers are like, but I know ours have lost their minds.
The summary was somewhat misleading. In Germany, there is nothing similar to the tea party kind of right wing nutters, just more or less openly radical neo-nazis. And exactly that kind of people was tricked by that awesome t-shirt.
I am happy that I am not the only one with that attitude. It is also the reason why I've been using phones with Windows Mobile from 2004 to 2010. They were exactly that, ultraportable computers with additional phone functionality. Now I still have got my Windows Mobile phone, but it runs Android instead.
I guess only an American would compare the avoidance of driving to neolithic existence.
Well, I've got news for you: there is a whole world outside your car. It can be wild nature, sure. But it also can be tame nature of parks - if you are afraid of wildness, it even can be ultra modern human made - exploring cities by foot is also fun with good shoes and at times of low traffic so you wouldn't choke. Nothing neolithic about that.
If I would speak for myself, I would also add, that sitting on one's arse in a car driving it is a chore and I'd rather walk 20 km than drive the same distance. My boots are indeed made for walking (Meindl Meran).
Buran looked similar to the Shuttle, but the similarity ended there, because the concepts were radically different - Space Shuttle was a big engine with wings and a huge drop tank, Buran was a pure orbital plane and reentry vehicle and needed a real carrier rocket (Energia) that hauled it to the orbit.
Wrong. As many have mentioned, Hitler was a catholic, as most Austrians are. Stalin was orthodox christian, he was even at the seminary for years and almost became a priest.
I don't see why you find that scary. Would you also find it scary if a nutcase killed a bunch of people after publishing a manifesto that is a slightly more extreme version of your political positions (whatever they are)?
I don't see, why not. My political views are quite on the left side of the spectrum, even for Germany (so I'd probably qualify for a communist in the USA). I still think that Red Army Fraction was scary.

Hello Liberty One. Didn't know you've got a Slashdot account.
Oh, I most definitely can - he's probably still in my "don't show stories by this author" list.

I wouldn't worry that much about loss of life.
What do you mean with "instead of"? Exercising leads to a serotonin and dopamine release, which is the very definition of having fun.
Admit, you also have read Blindsight by Peter Watts.
Don't try to hide behind "many posters".

It is only an escape if you use a scythe. Sitting on your arse in a tractor is a chore, and a rather boring one, too.
Holy shit, that long ago...
suddenly feeling really old.
Mongolia was not a part of the former Soviet Union.
Only if you are into BDSM. Especially the M part of it. .NET and C# are far more comfortable to develop for than Win32 and C++.
What kind of wash mashines are these? Mine spins at 1800 RPM max, more expensive ones can do 2000.

On the other hand, that means that that guy knows the ins and outs of what he has done.
Wrong.

Why didn't you, then?
Hear hear.
I admit, I read the whole book, but just because I hoped that there would be at least some justification for the whole hype somewhere.
I've tried then to read Snow Crash, but gave up after 20 pages or so. Fool me once, etc etc.
