Since we're being blunt: This is misleading. We don't use the bomb calorimeter today, but we still use the Atwater system (with a quick tweak for fiber) for those "nutritional comp…

Uh huh. Because what we know as facts today will never be disproven.

I think this is a matter of preference. Microsoft Teams does threads as first class citizens, and to me it's overly busy. I'd much rather a chat tool work like IRC, and in my mind …

I like Pinterest. I'm bad at decorating, and I'm a bad cook, so having recipes and decorating stuff that I can sift through and save into distinct idea books is nice. However, the …

This. Mr Money Mustache and JCollinsNH (Simple Path to Wealth) all rolled into one comment. Wish this was higher up.

"(as far from the coasts as possible)" piques my interest. Why do you want to be as far from the coasts as possible?

I don't think it's lazy, I think it's intentional. The cleanup efforts have been in the planning phase for 22 years, so perhaps some fear mongering to drum up more public outrage/o…

This is the post I needed to see today, and from Popular Mechanics it makes it that much sweeter. The Tesla Roadster gave me hope back when I was younger and despairing over the so…

So it's better for the poor to blame the rich and be relieved of the guilt of being poor? It's not one-sided, and to say it is allows for a victim mentality that is harmful to anyo…

Agreed. Also see: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/

Just fine? Hold on. If you're making $50k a year you net $3,350/mo. 10% of that is $335. So each month you're paying $335 against the $1500 in interest that your $250k loan demands…

I once heard it said about cycling that "it doesn't get easier, you only go faster." After a decade or so of mountain and road biking, I agree with that sentiment. If it's easy, th…

I lost my dad to cancer when I was 8. I am also the first born. I buried the emotions as best I could and now almost 30 years later I'm finally unpacking all kinds of issues in the…
