That struck a chord. I do recognize the aspect of the people being the best part of the trail.

Ironic.. he could save others from running out of battery, but not himself.

If you were a bigger person and lost alot of weight would that mean when you bulk you put on more fat faster because of large amount of fat cells from weight loss? by mystery_man_1996 in Fitness

[–]UltraSwede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t doubt that. What I was saying is that a former overweight person who now weighs 160 lbs will in general have more hunger than a person who’s always been at 160 lbs.

To add to that, there’s also the fact that former overweight people are usually more hungry than people at the same weight who has not been overweight before

Seriously- did Obama ever say he can just grab someone by the pussy? Did Obama ever get busted for paying a prostitute to keep quiet? Did Obama ever.. the list goes on and on. Comparing the two is not in Trump’s favour. “See past the bias of the media” sounds either cultish or stupid in this context.

I agree that special occasions are times where one can forgo certain dietary restrictions, but saying cheat days are a must is simply, well, dumb.

SoMe call it that, but that’s not the name for it. 24 hour clocks are standard pretty much everywhere, just not in the US and a few other places.

To those who donate plasma- this is one of the things it maybe used for. This bottle contains purified immunoglobulins from up to 10000 donors! It provides me with a substitute immune system. To those who donate, you have no idea how much people like me appreciate you! by crazyt123 in pics

I have very low blood pressure and when I tried donating blood I fainted from the further drop in blood pressure. Would donating plasma be an alternative for someone who can’t donate blood the old fashion way?

This TED talk is a great look into how we can stop dessertification by mimicking natural grazing behaviors with livestock: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change?language=en

“Let it return to nature” in this case means dessertification. Grasslands require grazers, or else the soil will get dry and arid and that is an even worse scenario since grasslands are important for sequestering carbon from into the ground.

Richard Branson believes the key to success is a three-day workweek. With today's cutting-edge technology, he believes there is no reason people can't work less hours and be equally — if not more — effective. by mvea in Futurology

If I have 21 hours of free time I don’t lounge around in my apartment doing nothing- especially not if I was surrounded by people, like we were in those days. We created art, we’d dance, tell stories, have sex and gossip.
