This still works for those who use the browser search engine functionality in modern browsers: http://www.google.com/search?rls=en&q=%s+rotten+tomatoes... I've setup 'rt' as a sear…

I don't have the resources to properly estimate and track BF%. However, i've been tracking my waistline measurement every other day after doing my morning business and fasted. I se…

I've been trying one of the more popular Intermittent fasting protocols -Leangains for 20 days and counting. It was uncomfortable only for the first 3 days. 16-20hr (well-hydrated)…

Tip for HN: The 'worldbackupday' promo code still worked in Nov/Dec 2011 when i signed up, and i got 5GB instead of 2GB. Original promo announce: https://spideroak.com/blog/2011033…

No, the web access feature is opt-in; you have to input your spideroak credentials so that spideroak client code running in their datacenter can decrypt your encrypted datastore an…

Am i the only person who uses middle click(the scroll wheel button) to open a link in a new tab? This worked for the github icon too; i just checked (Opera 11.61/Linux)

It was just a dns pre-fetch. (I never expected Thunderbird to do that.) I disabled preFetch in the config editor and my ship's running dry again.

Seems, the author has already documented this. For those interested: https://grepular.com/DNS_Prefetch_Exposure_on_Thunderbird_an...

Could you link to the fix/bug report? My mozilla-ppa(deb) Thunderbird 10.0.2 leaks like the Titanic after the iceberg. Gmail does much much better - a counter-intuitive result.

Is there a workaround for this? Until then, one should stick to native email clients/Thunderbird for confidential comms.

Summary: Gold is Insurance, not Investment(especially after inflation kicks in). It's probably a good idea to have some % asset allocation for this class of holdings, for the vario…

Is 'ab tightening' done for the obvious aesthetic goal, or is this some assistance exercise routine for heavy lifting? Google wasn't helpful w.r.t the latter idea.

I didn't realize i'd changed the same way until i read your synopsis of your situation. Thanks. Growing up, effort was given a back seat to my natural intelligence. Also, too much …

Valid point. I'm putting this to the test, Monday evening.

Eating 1 hour before workout hasn't worked out for me. I guess digestion time varies from person to person. Tasting bile when squatting/deadlifting is really unpleasant.

>>If you go to the gym and do heavy squats at 6:30pm without eating anything since your lunch at 11:00am you are going to feel like absolute shit afterwards. This is correct. Eat a…

Actually, i work quite the opposite. My tinker-genes get hyper after an hour of heavy lifting(starting strength 3x/week). I do hardly any cardio most days. Heavy lifting has a smal…
