- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
Agree. Heck, even when I was more fit (also, younger) a good exercise session would often result in me eating more calories than needed.
- Comment on Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week? 2 weeks ago:
Exercise can burn a ton of calories, but in order to be able to do that level of exercise you have to be reasonably fit. For someone who doesn’t have a ton of stamina, I agree that diet is much more effective.

At my weight (175 pounds) going 10k over an hour puts me at about this amount of calories. That’s 6.2 miles. I am in no way fit enough to be able to go that kind of distance, forget about the pace, which is sad to admit.
At a 15 minute mile, I would burn 120 calories/mile.
That’s not to say that you can’t burn significant calories exercising, it’s just that your average couch potato won’t be able to out of the gate. It’s far easier for me to reduce my intake by 120 calories/day than it jog a mile a day on average. Ideally you would do a bit of both.

See also: …wikipedia.org/…/Strategic_lawsuit_against_public…
Strategic lawsuits against public participation (also known as SLAPP suits or intimidation lawsuits), or strategic litigation against public participation, are lawsuits intended to censor, intimidate, and silence critics by burdening them with the cost of a legal defense until they abandon their criticism or opposition
There are many, many variants. The idea is the smaller player can’t really afford to fight in court, so even if the larger actor has shaky legal claims they will still win.

Report back on your findings!

I am amused at the up and downvotes on your comment. Have an up vote from me :)
A 7.0 log10 lethality means that a process has reduced the number of harmful bacteria, like Salmonella, by a factor of 10 million, effectively killing 99.99999% of them
This is the same way they measure the time duration you need to hold poultry at 165°F for.
Here’s a fun thought experiment: egg whites collegiate (ie are considered cooked) at 150° F. To reach 7.0 log10 levels of salmonella killing you would have to either have to hold your eggs at this temperature for 72 seconds or cook them to a higher temperature and hold them there less long. I don’t know about you, but I like over easy eggs. The center of the yolk gets no where near 150.

100%
Temp of the coldest part and the quantity of time it’s held at that temperature.
- Comment on Trust the process! 5 weeks ago:
Yes you can, but you’re not going to be able to cook to order.
It’s all about the meat’s internal temperature and the amount of time it’s kept at that temperature. If the meat could reach 165° F instantly it would kill everything. If you hold it at 120° F for two hours you kill nearly everything.
- Comment on Trust the process! 5 weeks ago:
Accurate. You could do this in an oven or grill too, but you might dry things out some. It’s all about the meat’s internal temperature and time. If the meat could reach 165° F instantly it would kill everything. If you hold it at 120° F for two hours you kill nearly everything.

- Comment on We got several more inches of snow last night after getting over seven a few days ago. I went to my local newspaper's website to find out if there was anything I should know. This was their top story. 5 weeks ago:
If it snows “bad enough” this is very common. The roads are going to be hard to drive on, which leads to more accidents and just puts first responders in jeopardy. The day before a big snow the grocery stores are usually slammed.

It’s almost like the saying “the grass is greener” is a reoccurring human phenomenon, lol.
I personally like the idea of many instances, but it would be great if there were a way of doing something about communities that are attempting to fill the same niche. For example, there are 3-4 small-mid sized photography communities with very similar rules and moderation styles. Maybe the mods could agree to form an alliance and somehow federate posts and comments across the community? If something goes sideways they could always break off the community level federation.

True Lies is truly great. There are a bunch of other good choices in there too, but true lies really sticks in my head.
- Comment on FAQ: Yes We Suppirt Kinect 4 months ago:
I truly don’t get PMs who themselves haven’t done the thing they’re now PMing. I like to think I make a decent PM because I was a user, got frustrated, made my own version of the thing that was way faster and easier, that saw some success, I learned a bunch, and now I PM that space after I figured out I had much stronger opinions on what a thing should do/be and why that mattered than then actual implementation.

I would love to teach kids. I take any opportunity I can to mentor people at work, but in a school setting would be super cool. The pay cut relative to what I make now just isn’t worth it. Maybe in another decade when we have enough set aside…
- Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option? 4 months ago:
I just said the same about a PS5. We used a PS3 for a while too, but it eventually gave up the ghost. I haven’t done this in a long time, but the PS3 could also connect to locally hosted media servers. As an American Top Gear fan, this is how I watched that show.
- Comment on What is the current best smart TV software/brand/ecosystem option? 4 months ago:
We use a PS5 for exactly the purpose you describe, sans casting. I am not sure how many of the streaming platforms have an app for it, but the ones we like are all here. For casting we use a Chromecast on another HDMI port. We very rarely cast though.
- Comment on More trustworthy than what's currently on the road 4 months ago:
The challenger/mustang/camaro pulled this off fairly well for a while. There have been others, like the Thunderbird, but they never sold well.
These days, if it’s not a crossover it seems like no one will buy it. I am blissfully unaware of interesting looking old SUVs, but surely one is out there. Maybe the bronco qualifies? Too bad it’s suffering from size and price inflation.
- Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books 5 months ago:
Not that I remember, which is probably the reason why it was cut from the film. There is a lot of activity around him and the area around his house in the books, but it’s more side quest than main quest.
- Comment on Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books 5 months ago:
Tom Bombadil is probably the biggest omission - both the character and all tge activities that take place around their house. I remembered that sticking out to me when I watched the films for the first time, but at that point I last read the trilogy at least five years prior.

Red dead redemption 2 didn’t stop at being pretty. If it did I don’t think we would all talk about it so fondly. Totally agree that it’s a great looking game though.

Thanks for following up! I played the OG halflife when it came out, so I will be sure to check this out.

- Comment on How do you search for honest product recommendations? 8 months ago:
Subscribed to the second and link. I like to lurk/sort by subscribed and new and will try to comment when I have something to contribute. Niche communities are hard to form without a decent user base, but a general recommends community seems like a great idea.
- Comment on A bad influence 10 months ago:
Teams feels a bit like a never ending beta. On one hand, it’s kind of nice to get constant tweaks and it’s generally pretty good. On the other, things do break from time to time. There’s also the whole “new teams” thing, which feels… very similar to “old teams”. All the old sillyness, like not being able to folder dive in a team while chatting (it will forget where you were when you switch back) for not much benefit. It also is a big regression in basics like spell check speed. It takes seconds for a red squiggle to send, so now my spoild self has to wait a bit before hitting enter.
At least it’s not new outlook. Everything on that is way slower and it’s very clear the UI was not optimized for a computer. Left click to spell check in an email body, right click to spell check in an email title. Want to add formatting in a meeting invite? Ha, that’s rich. Even very basic things like changing fonts take forever.
Both feel a bit like a new PM being given the reigns and going at it. I struggle to see what was so wrong with the old versions, especially outlook…
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 10 months ago:
This isn’t about imperial vs metric, it’s about measuring by mass vs volume. A good example here is flour. Weighing out 30 grams (or about 1 ounce) of flour will always result in the same amount. On the other hand, you can densely pack flour into a 1/4 cup measuring cup, you can gingerly spoon it in little by little, or you can scoop and level. When you do this you’ll get three different amounts of flour, even though they all fill that 1/4 cup. Good luck consistently measuring from scoop to scoop even if you use the same method for each scoop.
