It's not like I'm starving. As an engineer it's a control system problem. The net caloric intake leads to a specific equilibrium body mass which varies by individual. The rate at which your body mass changes is based on the difference between your current mass and the equilibrium mass of your net caloric intake. So my initial rate was very high and now I am approaching my equilibrium body mass asymptotically.
"Ultimately what I've learned is that there is no one standard of a healthy combination of eating and exercise that works for everybody, and most of the people who claim that there is just want to sell their $20 diet book."
I am a man and I have had enormous success with daily fasting. From when I wake up to about 6pm I consume about 100-200 calories. (usually consists of fruit, veggies or coffee and cream. Then for dinner I eat whatever the hell I want and as much as I want to feel full. I've estimated based weighing and online tables a few times and it comes out to between 1000-1500 calories.
I have gone from 215 lbs to 165 lbs in 8 months. In addition I am able to work out more since I'm not carrying around an extra 50 lbs. In reality I didn't work out at all until I lost the first 25 lbs or so because I was tired while I was adjusting to the new lifestyle.
I tried the many small meals and it just didn't work out for me mentally knowing I couldn't have a big meal. Now all day I can get hungry looking forward to that one nice meal without regret.
I am curious to hear what/.ers would like to see from NASA in terms of outreach. It seems most of the work goes towards kids. I'm not against that but many technical people would like to know more about what NASA is doing at a more technical level.
What types of things should NASA be doing? For instance release CAD models of rovers so people can build one in ther 3D printer or release the code for the software flight systems.
Reminds me of Frederic Bastiat. He said we are all consumers and producers. We want what we consume to be cheap and abundant and what we produce to be scarce and expensive. A prosperous and free society tends to move towards abundant and cheap things. This requires we don't pass laws that protect producers from competition.
This is because you are very closely aligned with the status quo. Romney isn't really going to deregulate banks. He's not going to get rid of fractional reserve banking and go to 100% hard money. He is just going to use the power to benefit a different group than Obama.
From the libertarian point of view both of these guys just want to use their power to punish their enemies and reward their friends. Would you call it socialist, capitalist, or fascist or some other term?
I got a phone call from an automated polling company. I started to answer but then questions at to which candidate I preferred came up. It was only Obama or Romney. I couldn't go in with the test since I think they are both horrible and evil. So I hung up.
Exactly right. Not only that but when it's voluntary you have more assurance that problems will be brought to light and corrected quickly. When it's mandatory it becomes political and problems are buried.
First let me flash my credentials. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science. I have a LOT more mechanical engineering experience and have worked in design and machine shops for 20 years and have been using commercial 3D printers for about 10 years.
3D printing is a new paradigm just like CNC controls were a new paradigm 30-40 years ago. It allowed much greater flexibility, speed, and accuracy in manufacturing. Things that could only be done by expert mold and tool makers could be built by people with much less experience.
Our current machine (Object) has material that is as strong as welded aluminum. So we are already in the engineering ball park here.
There are a couple of milestones down the road that will key. Since we already had resin based machines the next milestone is the ability to lay individual reinforcing fibers. This will allow amazing flexibility in design by allowing for direct control over stress and deflection. Instead of isotropic materials like metal or quasi-isotropic laminates we can lay fibers right where we need them.
Second is moving from plastics to welded metal. Instead of extruding plastic or printing resin we will get to the point where we can control the deposition of metal very accurately. I have designed very thin metal parts by having an aluminum blank made. Then coated with a thin layer of nickel. Then dissolve the aluminum to leave the nickel part behind.
With 3D printing eventually we will get to the point where we mimic nature by having an object full of different materials where each is in the right place for it's job. So one machine would be able to print a barrel that has carbon or boron outside wrap for strength and stiffness. Then a layer of aluminum for heat dissapation. Then finally on the inside a coating of nickel or chrome for hardness.
I'm not saying we are close yet. But we are moving in that direction.
It's amazing. We pass things like no fault car insurance so people aren't responsible for out actions. Then we are surpised people do risky things with that immunity. The solution is easy. Get rid of no fault insurance. Let insurance companies write policies that don't cover at fault losses if you ate on the phone. The difference between the rates that cover or don't cover those losses will be the real risk.
It was a Safemark Safe. It was displaying an error ebar. I used those to look up the information.
Also sites suggested to try 000000, 123456, 999999 as the supervisor password.
The point I'm making is that hotel maintenance has a supervisor password and most likely it's something very easy to guess or share. I'm not claiming 999999 will unlock everyone.
You are missing the point. Who would punish or prevent the woman if she did that without her husbands permission? If it's the State government than that is where the control is. If a woman gets an abortion and the husband divorces her or cuts her off financially that is a family control.
I'm not a Luddite by any stretch of the imagination. But the shear amount of mass murder conducted in the name of "science" and "progress" in the 20th century was mind boggling.
I was staying in Marriott and they have a small in room safe. Its the kind with a digital keypad where you select your own code. I put stuff in there while we went to the pool.
When we got back I guess one of the kids was playing with it and it stopped responding because they pressed too many buttons. So I looked it up online. All I had to do was press "lock" twice to enter supervisor mode then 999999 and it opened the safe bypassing my code.
So don't use those safes for anything real valuable. Next time I have to play around with supervisor mode to see if I can change that password.

Please give examples of what you want.

Agreed.

Right now I get my kids vaccinated. If it became mandatory I would immediately stop and reconsider.

Great comment. It's so scary that I blocked it out.

Here is what I would love to see.
I big grid with specific topics for the rows.
Then have the following columns titles. Federal, State, County, City, Family, Individual.
For each topic the candidate has to put where they think that control should exist.

I used to go crabbing in NJ at the outlet of the Oyster Creek Plant. The crabs could grow all year round and were nice and big.
