From which we can conclude very little, other than that there is a broad range of diet that supports elite athleticism. We're talking across each other here. I agree with you that the current state of knowledge is uncertain and that we already know enough for most people to make significant...

Meh. Nothing that broad is that simple. Are some whole foods better than others? In what combinations or proportions? For everyone, doing every kind of activity? Are there tradeoffs between performance, domains of health, and longevity? Etc.

No, I'm saying that it's possible to make statements that are true enough to be useful in improving people's lives. It's hard and we've not done a great job of it yet, but that's not a reason to stop trying. Actually understanding how the human body works and giving us the ability to improve...

It's not impossible. If you get a sufficiently large study population (say, thousands to tens of thousands) those factors will either wash out or can be accounted for in the analysis. Of course, when making a recommendation to an individual on the basis of research you need to be aware that...

With large enough samples, well-designed studies over long enough periods of time, and a careful and cautious interpretation of the results, of course it is. It's just really hard and expensive to do and requires enormous patience, so we haven't had great information yet.

No, the map should regenerate the Ashlands portion of your existing world according to the new update. This can obviously have negative effects if you've already built something there. If they changed the world generation algorithm you'll get your old world with the new features, but it might...

In fairness, being able to survive on damn near any diet is not the same thing as proving what is the longevity-optimizing diet. The science is a confused mess, obviously (mostly around the policy and messaging, the pure research itself is generally appropriately caveated), but that doesn't mean...

We need this with courses in three dimensions.

I'd add 3) clamp and drill the hole while the part is still rectangular, then be careful to make the taper cuts to the hole is centered at the end.

I'd just eyeball and do it by hand with a drill. It won't matter for leveling feet if you're off by a couple of degrees over three quarters of an inch. I might invest in a forstner bit set over a spade bit. They'll jump around less. A classic bit and brace would do it too with perhaps more...

Did you initiate the appointment or did they?

That at least I understand, but I've had multiple tradesmen come to my house, spend 30-60 minutes talking about the job, and then never deliver an estimate despite multiple follow-ups. WTF, why waste everyone's time?

And here I thought a $10k quote for 180 feet of fence was robbery.

I'm doing this math constantly. Painting, trim work, cabling, basic 120v wiring, irrigation systems, cabinetry, etc, aren't worth calling anyone for any more. I started with some tools for my furniture making hobby and am basically backing into general contracting as time goes by. I'm a little...

I bought a house last year and have been doing some repairs/upgrades. I've had to resign myself to have anything to do with trades costing 50-100% more than I expect. I just got a quote for $11k to replace my main electrical panel and another $5k run a sub-panel to my garage and put in some...

Yes. I did a small outside taper on a stand and bench I made for my kids' keyboard. I don't think it looks terrible, but it did narrow the base slightly and make them more tippy than they needed to be. I'd do it the other way if making them again.

That's great to hear. My dad caved in on himself for years after my mom died, and it was really sad to watch. His life is immeasurably better now that he met someone, and I'm sure yours will be too over time.

Any of the classic trades, really. Plumbers and electricians can basically name their price these days.

Lose some weight and work out more. I used to run ~140/95. Lost 10 lbs and started doing pretty serious cardio 3-5x a week and and now after a couple years I'm 120/70 with a resting heart rate +/- 50. As others have said, also look to make some diet changes towards higher fiber and unsaturated...

Just got this email from my son's middle school. There is no Testing Tip.png. This is the second such attempt to distribute tips this weekend. What a pack of fuckwits.

For $1000/mo on a 15 year fixed you're talking about a $120k loan tops at current interest rates. You can't even buy an old trailer home for that price in a lot of places, never mind something with good bones and renovation budget included.

FTFY. I think. I mean, you do you.

That guy bought his tapering jig. You want to reproduce the function of the metal jig up against his fence. Something like this: If you really want you can go a bit more bare-bones and simply put down a backstop and toggle clamps (spaced high enough to clamp down on your leg, obviously) and...

A classic double inside taper on the legs will make them look a lot more refined. It's cake on the table saw with a simple jig.

Unless you have burning from the bit, no, not really necessary unless you're trying to make museum-quality heirloom pieces, and even then it's debatable. I'm more on the hand tool end of things (though not completely) and I almost never sand and just apply finish off the surface left by the...

Generally you use a plane or router and don't sand them. If you have a sander with a table you could use that at a fixed angle. Or just be really careful with a sanding block. Or just live with the "artisanal" look and accept the rounding.

Totally agree.

That's not realistic, though. You want fighters to be in peak condition for the fights. There really is a combination of training that optimizes performance but that's not maintainable indefinitely. The issue is short term dehydration. ONE got closest with their hydration monitoring, but as it...

If it's only a couple years old the rust is probably superficial. I'd clean it up with a wire brush or sandpaper and paint it.

Weight cutting is stupid, dangerous, and makes fights worse for the fighters and the fans. I wish there were a good technical way to ban it.

Including withholding? That is odd. I'd deposit the money but keep it protected and liquid for quite a while. The onus is on them to correct mistakes. Worst case you return it.

Dunno. Good friend of mine ran a demolition company for about 20 years and saw lots of his competitors get into problems over safety. Religiously following OSHA starts to look pretty good after your second or third major injury lawsuit.
