>Even if we abandon looking at it as as a strictly energy in energy out situation

There is no reason to abandon looking at it that way. Eating healthier will not result in you losing weight if your caloric intake remains the same. Feel free to continue eating $1 burgers, just eat fewer of them.

That is a coping mechanism for the obese. It is simply not true.

Same if no one was obese.

Getting vaccinated doesn't prevent you from spreading covid.

>One takes a couple minutes and the other is something requiring an hour or more of dedicated time per day for potentially years (or a whole lifetime!

Nope. You don't have to dedicate time to exercising to lose weight, you can just eat less.

I literally cannot speak to a human at my ISP unless I tell the robocall system that I want to cancel. As in, I'll call and say I need to return some equipment, be on hold for an hour, leave a callback number, and not get called back in the same week. Versus calling and saying I need to cancel, then getting connected to a service rep in 15 seconds and asking them about returning equipment.

I'm amazed that the FCC wasn't on him in days, or even hours.

There's a NewPipe fork with SponsorBlock support. https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe

I am going to buy all the land surrounding your house and use it to build airports and coal processing plants. Not your land, not your business, so I better not hear any complaints alright?

Full speed hits are a greater threat to other people when you're in a larger vehicle. More mass means more force to impart at the same speed.

Generally speaking, you don't lose access to your Steam library unless you defraud them, e.g. by charging back purchases. I don't buy that the Russian guy got banned for spamming. The only evidence that that was the ban reason is his own words. Considering that this story seems to have only been picked up by sites like "oneangrygamer", "riseupgamer", and the Daily Stormer, I'd lay money he's not being honest.

That absolutely does not solve the problem? A grandmaster chess player is going to get tired of playing handicapped games against 1000 Elo noobs.

>Make it expensive for those caught cheating and equally expensive for those making false report

Well now you've tipped the scales too far. Nobody is going to make a report, even when it's justified, if they're risking their account to do so.

Overwatch briefly had a system like this, where you could mark players in your matches positively or negatively, so they'd be more or less likely to show up in your future matches. They had to remove it after a top level player could no longer find fair matches. He was waiting 10-20 minutes before getting matched with much lower skilled players. He was by all accounts a pleasant person, but he was so good at the game that many people would mark him negatively simply so they would never have to play against him.

$9 means exponentially more to me than it does to a national chain.

They've been working on improving their recordings for years. It's a lot better now.

The article does say that those costs aren't included in the maintenance total.

But considering that they replaced the entire windshield (and sunroof glass) for what they describe as a stone chip, I'm inclined to believe they may have been overpaying or overdoing maintenance anyways. AAA suggests the price to repair a windshield chip would be around $100, and that replacement isn't necessary if it's smaller than a quarter.

The tone is really...enthusiastic? Try listening to gallos ("roosters") for comparison.

Medical Review Officers actually have access to prescription histories. I'm not entirely clear on how it works as I haven't personally seen that end, but they can verify non-negative results without speaking to the donor and report the result as negative (clean) to the company. They only need to speak to the donor if there's a non-negative result and they have no prescriptions that could cause a false positive for that. Also the MRO contacts the donor directly using the information on the chain of custody; the employer is never made aware that there's something abnormal about the sample.

>I don't understand why the burners and parts the pan sits on don't screw together, rather than just being placed together.

Nobody wants to bust out a screwdriver just to clean the stove.

No kidding.

>Nationwide, fossil fuels burned for energy in businesses and homes sit at 13% of annual carbon emissions, according to 2019 data from the EPA.

>Gas stoves’ contributions to emissions are negligible compared with the gas used to heat homes and water. Less than 3% of natural-gas use in homes comes from cooking on gas stoves, according to a 2015 residential energy survey from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

3% of 13% comes to just under 0.04% of carbon emissions. Yup, definitely making a big difference.

Edit: 0.04% of residential carbon emissions in the US only.

Older printers don't add identification to printed pages. I don't remember the exact year but I think the rule of thumb is that anything from the 80's or older is safe.

Perhaps many countries have alcoholism problems.

Ridiculous of them. How could that possibly fly without requiring that drivers have liquor licenses? Either they're individually culpable and need licenses or it's not their responsibility, no?

High Speed Rail 2: Fiber Boogaloo? The state doesn't exactly have a good track record with these big projects.

Ehh, is it worth doubling the fuel use + wear and tear?

The number I see frequently as the threshold of "heavy drinking" is 15 drinks per week, so I certainly agree that it's not accurate to call 14 drinks per week "moderate".

15 drinks per week is actually the limit here for commercial drivers. If you admit to drinking more than that during your annual/semi-annual DMV physical, you have essentially just admitted to alcoholism and can't keep driving class A/B vehicles unless you enter a substance abuse program.

Are you thinking of something like Flattr?
