    Weight Loss Thread

    Can you have someone else shop for you with strict instructions to only buy healthy foods? Snacking stops feeling so good when you've eaten your 15th apple of the day and the next-tastiest thing is in the house is broccoli.

    At some point, and maybe only for certain peoiple, the suck factors can become addicting. I'm not a morning person and I absolutely hate it, but my days are better and my sleep is better if I force myself to get up at 6 and work out. It's incredibly easy to fall off the wagon, though.

    Are they? I definitely acknowledge the flatness is odd, but whether that's a legitimate outcome of the process or not none of us knows without auditing the calculations.

    This stuff is auditable for anyone with the requisite patience. Here are the federal numbers. It's trivial to see the pre-seasonal adjustment data. The adjustment process is a whole can of worms I'm not going to read, but (I think) it's documented at the link at the end of this post. The...

    Can we check IP records to see if this is an alt account of Araysar? The instant high-volume bromance on a two-year dormant account's first day of posting makes me wonder.
