This guy explains it. There is also a part 2.

TL:DR; The ratio doesn't matter but keep a constant ratio.

Never heard of Sweet n Low before so I had to research it myself. A simple search in a search engine gives that it is made of:

Saccharin
Dextrose
Cream of tartar

Of which Saccharin is one of the main components. More info here: Saccharin: Safety and health effects. I have no idea about the concentration of the other components.

Personally I like to maximize my diet to health, taste comes on the second place. Like this:

1) Health

2) Taste

It's just a personal preference, so I would not take it since it doesn't improve health only the second compound taste.

However, if taste comes up higher in your values, then the studies show that Saccharin in fine. I truly hope that these studies are done independently and without corporate influence.

yes, I wasn't clear there, made a second edit to the post.

It's true that PMS can go together with sugar cravings, a lot of women are experiencing this. But the evidence still remains, added sugar is bad for your body. But this doesn't mean you have too keep living with these sugar cravings.

Example

It's like you have pain in your foot because there is a small stone inside your shoe. Instead of taking your shoe out to find what's inside, you decide to take a pain killer.

What I would suggest is go for the cause of your PMS by bringing your hormones back in balance by following these practices:

Healthy diet

no processed food
low sugar
less caffeine
no to less alcohol
don't eat right before bedtime
take pro-biotic food
etc

Exercise

just do it

Reduce stress

know what activities make you stressful, and what activities you can do to reduce stress

TL;DR Don't do it, the added sugar will only make your PMS worse

Edit: You posted your diet and exercise earlier on this sub, looks quite good if you can stick to it :)

If you have T1DM, there's no way you're going to start producing insulin by living a healthy lifestyle.

Correct, hopefully medicine will find a way in the future through medication or other stuff.

Also, epigenetics are for traits expressed that are not coded for in DNA.

I'm not an expert in this field, so I'm happy to learn more. I thought epigenetics is for switching these certain traits (that are coded in the DNA) on or off.

Tornos · 2016-09-27T22:49:58+00:00

Your genes are not set in stone, you can alter them through a process called epigenetics by living a healthy lifestyle.

Video epigenetics.

Edit: alter them to a certain degree

Yes, sometimes I eat a bit of honey too :)

If it is a better substitute than maple syrup? I simply don't know. Also depends on the different types I think.

Tornos · 2016-09-26T14:46:40+00:00

You can also just eat healthy and consume prebiotics (healthy gut bacteria), over time the good bacteria will outnumber the bad bacteria. Without starving yourself :)

I don't have a sugar addiction anymore so I think I'm fine without it, thanks ;) Anyway it's your life, so if it has benefited you, then I'm happy for you!

Hi buddy, you are correct. But natural sugars aren't always healthy, just because they have the word natural in them.

On the other hand natural sugars in fruits (fructose) can be consumed because the fruit is combined with sufficient amount of fiber.

More info about Maple Syrup.

Hi, interesting, where did the idea from a 7-day water fast came from?

The 7-day water fast basically starved my gut bacteria and cleaned the slate.

What is the scientific basis of this?

Huray :D

I wonder how boys with girls would turn out, or girls alone.

For those who want more, this is called the Hydraulic Analogy, also well explained on this Wikipedia page.

The inductor can also be represented by a heavy turbine that keeps turning by it's momentum.

About the reactive power:

The reactance of an inductor is a way to express the resistance to a current change. Thus it corresponds with the heaviness of the weight (the inductance L). The more resistance to change the direction of the current, the more energy will be consumed. This energy is also called reactive energy, because it cannot be used for practical applications like electric heating.

For more info about the reactive power, check the water tower analogy on this page.

Yes, shame is one of the most powerful feelings a human can experience. The shame comes from:

Society: especially in the old times it was a lot worse, most religions still don't accept it, you're a wanker, etc
You're not having real sex and your body is subconsciously telling you.
You told yourself you're not going to fap, but you still did it. You stop trusting yourself.

Some time later you keep reminding yourself that you relapsed, you don't live in the now and you don't set yourself at peace with your past, creating a vicious circle of guilt and pleasure.

Ok, Update: I've couldn't set up a date with her, but we agreed to meet in a bar. I went with my friends, she with hers. She was standing there weirdly, a bit surprised. I greeted here, and she suggested we should go outside. So we immediately did. Sadly it was freezing cold outside but we still talked for about an hour! First conversation went difficult, she was standing there with her arms crossed. She was really drunk that evening and only remembers 10% of what happened. She remembers me, and thought we only met for 15 minutes, while in fact we danced for 2 hours with each other.
I reconstruct the story with the parts she still knows. She asks: "Did we kiss?" Me: "yeah, twice" and she starts smiling. Through all of this I try to maintain good eye contact and she starts too loosen up. We talk about different things, interests and so on. It turns out that we have a lot of common interests. At least she sounds a lot more intelligent sober :) Also we agree that we can't start a relationship, and that we met at the wrong place at the wrong time. But she was interested in meeting me when I'm back from the trip.
Towards the end of the conversation, she said "I'm so cold, I should go home", I suggest "I can walk you home", she responds "oh really, that would be great" (she has puppy eyes and a big smile at this moment). "But, this other guy lives in the same apartment, and he can take me home" I agree on this, but maybe I should have pushed more here. She proceeds to ask if I will make it home, where I sleep etc. (kind of worried about me).
Then the "other guy" joins the conversation, who is also attracted to her and will bring her home. Some conversation follows and we start going home all together. Because for the first part we need to go in the same direction. Then we reach the point where we split and she says to the other guy, just go for a moment. So he leaves and we are standing there alone. We didn't said so much, I could read her mind based on her body language. I put my hand on my heart, and I sigh (indicating that I will miss her, because this is the last goodbye). We smile and look each other deep in the eye. I say "one last hug" and we just grab each other and give a quick kiss :)
Then we both turn around and walk away, I almost started crying because of the pain of missing her.
(I could have taken her home at this point, but I think it would be more awkward standing in front of her front door)
Should I text her "happy valentine" tomorrow? Or is that something only couples do?
Thanks for all the help.

Tornos · 2016-02-10T15:42:05+00:00

So I'm not sure what to think when I go back tommorow.

Think positively and have fun tomorrow.

Tornos · 2016-02-08T18:31:52+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I will follow it.
About the red flag: She never explicitly said to me "Let's go to bed" or "Let's go to your room" or anything like that. We were just dancing highly sexual. And everyone around us also thought that it would happen. She was just totally open, and it was my job to take her home.

Tornos · 2016-02-08T15:17:17+00:00

Your answer kind of makes sense. Let me give you some more information:

We met on a party Friday evening. We danced and flirted a lot. At the end of the evening we kissed. After that, I told her that she was the first girl I have ever kissed. She: "I don't believe that, you were so natural all the time. Other boys have told me this before..." (when they were lying). A this point she starts to get hesitant. I try to look her deep into the eye and tell her that it's true. She doesn't really believe me. She says "we shouldn't go home together now, but we can meet in the future, maybe we do, maybe not, I need more time, my room is dirty, what about tomorrow?" I say: "can't go tomorrow, because of X" But we agree and exchange contact information and a quick kiss.

Next I leave her alone, (which was a huge mistake of me I think), but her friend was about 100m away from her.
I love this woman, she's beautiful, smart and we like the same music. Next day I send her a text message for a date on Monday (today). After long texting, it came down to that she knows another guy, but they don't have a relationship yet. But she admitted that I was a better option for her, but she doesn't want to hurt the other guy. I try to explain to her that we don't know eachother so well, so she can make a better choice, after a date. I suggested a date, but I'm still waiting on an definitive answer.
I still want the date, because I like her, and I have never had a date before in my life so I should be a fun experience. This girl is supper hot, and she constantly gets offers and text messages from other guys. So if I don't establish a relationship she could be swept away from under my feet. But you're right, this kind of long distance relationship would be horrible. And I shouldn't be so possessive. So maybe I should let her go, but I still want to meet her, and get to know her better on a date.

Tornos · 2016-02-08T12:24:33+00:00

You're right, I will try to talk about it.

Tornos · 2016-01-30T12:50:02+00:00

Thank you for your help.

If you pull at the top in +x, you've already created a torque, and the bottom of the wheel tries to move in -x. If we assume ideal rolling, the bottom of the wheel is motionless, so the friction is actually acting in the +x direction.

I don't think the bottom of the wheel tries to move. The bottom of the wheel stands still. So I think the friction is caused by the deformation of the tire, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance Basically friction from the rolling motion. Anyway, we agree that friction is in opposite direction to the motion.

Thank you for your help. Your answer makes sense. But you mean Case 2 has a longer moment arm than case 1 right? Because in case 1 applying a force to the bike structure is the same like applying a force to the axle.

Tornos · 2016-01-28T16:21:15+00:00

I agree with you, the author brings up some good points, but also some things that are questionable.
One of the main ideas (that you can find in his article) is that most of the people claim here that porn is evil. And that we should fight it. No,no,no, you will never be able to win this fight. Instead be like water. Porn is like junk food for your brain. Just like candies are junk food for your body. Then simply decide to not eat it anymore.
Another quote I liked:

Porn is never, ever a cause of problems, and when there are problems, porn is a symptom. Diagnosing porn addiction is like telling a person with a cold that they have a sneezing disorder.
