Stick to reading studies by actual medical doctors, biologist, biochemists, etc., or recommendations by people who footnote their plans go check and make sure those are real studies (some people just make up fake studies), then spot check the studies to see if they were read correctly (as...

Correlation is not causation. You'd need a control group of a certain minimum size who did the same thing, except for reducing the protein, which would handily prove there is no difference. Luckily this has been done. See the link I posted about why so much protein is a myth. It has footnotes to...

But that is the premise of the actual Monty Hall problem. The OP did not correctly state all the premises, and indeed strictly speaking he posted a common variant of the problem (there are dozens), but everyone is working under the assumption that he was posting the actual Monty Hall problem...

I'm discussing the premise of a book, which, as it happens, had a government that was doing fine financially. Though most economies do fine in war time and they happened to be at war. Perhaps you shouldn't conflate the two? I'm obviously not discussing actual politics. I don't do that with...

Have you ever tried a keto diet? Or any high fat, medium protein, low carb diet?

Left out the extra controller. So for $514.99 you get the console ($400), a game ($50), a controller ($60) which is $510. You get PSN+ for essentially $5. That is a $25 savings over the linked deal. If the game is $60 you save five bucks and get PSN+ for essentially free.

No one was endorsing the draft, they were endorsing the idea of only allowing people who had engaged in military service to vote which is the premise presented in the book. Voluntary military service. As a civilian in the ST world you have every single privilege, freedom of speech, freedom to...

At what point does the amount of money actually merit that much thinking about it? Because if it is like $1 and $2, I'll just grab one. If it is $10,000,000 vs $20,000,000 I'll just grab one, I'm set for life either way. There has to be some middle amount of money where you'd really want to...

Not all binary choices are 50/50. Should answer Eomer's question.

It is unfortunate you have chosen the path of self-deception. I was using quotes around "left" and "right" for a reason. Hence the picture. It was subtle. Like a bat to the head.

Which is normal. If you're eating a caloric deficit you're going to feel hungry at some point. Keto diets aren't as bad in that regard, because your body gets good at using fat for energy and starts cannibalizing any fat reserves you have.

1. ST was written as a novel to make money. Anything interesting about it is a reflection of Heinlein's philosophy that if he was interested in something, somebody else probably would be to and therefore would buy his book. Characters do not reflect the author's views on anything, they reflect...

Actually apparently he was having a different argument with himself. My entire point was that past a certain point protein has zero benefits. Satiety is a matter of eating enough calories and not eating quickly digested calories, like simple carbs. Even the study he linked about a "high protein"...

Makes sense. My luck in arena has been pretty bad, either in getting bad cards (Warrior with zero weapons happened once), or RNG screwing me.

People who engage in unscientific experimentation are not credible if they disagree with correctly carried out scientific work, yes. Not anymore than gamblers who believe they are on a hot streak are credible sources for explanations about statistics.

Fission the helium atom back into hydrogen. They get the hydrogen from water. Realistically though... OK, 24 gallons in a bathtub, 100,000 kWh (roughly) in the water in the bathtub with fusion. That is 48,000,000,000 gallons of water to produce 200 petawatt hours. Which is a little over...

Because he isn't a scientist or medical doctor. And it is mentioned in the studies he is referencing. Go to the source if you want accurate information.

I figured it out, it is the deck sizes. In MTG getting a 5-6 card combo working was pretty unlikely to happen in a given game, just because of having to draw land if nothing else. Whereas in this game you can get some combos working by turn 4. The Miracle Rogue deck on youtube has a couple of...

No, in the understanding of human biology in the medical and scientific community. Facts are not opinions.

You get three+draw if you go first. If you go second you get four+coin+draw. Apparently win rates are pretty close to 50% going first vs second, so even though that seems like a big benefit for going second apparently statistically it is working out.

Correlation is not causation. The changing their diets, rigorous exercise regimen, etc., had more to do with their change. Eating protein over .82g/lb (at most) does nothing for muscle gain or maintaining muscle mass, unless you're on steroids. The fact that they made the transition while eating...

Which is why the games division got new management in 2008 and has been slowly becoming profitable ever since, the turn around on the PS3 was due to new management. The cell processor, overall, made Sony money (between the sale and the uses it was put to prior to that). Not every bit of tech...

I'd play Magic if I didn't have to buy cards. Seriously, when I played Magic collecting cards drove me nuts. I want something like Magic where I have a small sub or something and get access to all the cards. Hearthstone has a lot of "you're dead" combinations that I'm not fond of, especially...

....So does posting links that say I'm right amuse you or is it really entirely accidental? He used literally the same number I did. Note he is saying 1.5g/kg, as opposed to my .68g/lb, but do the math, those are the same number. I find it particularly amusing that 1.5g/kg is basically 120 grams...

Relevant: The purpose is really to make you miserable, to rub in that you gave your life for your society. He gets a pretty in depth explanation of the rationale when he is in officer training. Agree with it or not I'd love to actually see a society run on the principals outlined in the...

The Myth of 1 g/lb: Optimal Protein Intake for Bodybuilders No benefit to protein exceeding .82 grams per round of lean body mass, with the exception of steroid users. Handily he footnotes the major studies that have been done on it, if you can find them online you are welcome to look into...

Sony is a massive R&D hardware company. The development of the cell chip, and all losses related thereto, was billed to the games division. However that technology has made them "free" money in other sectors of their business. This is a function of the way we do accounting. That said, the PS3...

No, in Starship Troopers (book and movie) the only path to having the right to vote and potentially run for public office, being a citizen instead of a civilian, was volunteering for a minimum of two years of military service. Though yes it was completely voluntary. Also you didn't actually get...

I'd be inclined to say yes, but remember fat is 9 calories per gram.

I'm one-star platinum with my constructed deck. I just like building decks and for that I need more cards. It isn't about the decks being good either, I just like making themed decks, like I said. Thanks elidib, I'll think about that. The obvious thematic choice would be Rogue but Warrior...

Denaut said he couldn't find any articles. That was the first hit on google. Granted it is inaccurate about Atkins in the sense that someone doing the Atkins diet correctly would not have the high protein issue, but a lot of people who it incorrectly would. Primarily it was addressing the issue...

Only some sects of Christianity believe in the miracle of transubstantiation. Details matter when you want to be right, even about nonsense. @Khane: Think I got the science part covered and yes I am familiar with Dr. Atkin's work. Since the article is addressing high protein consumption and...

Grinding out access to all the basic cards is really boring. Anyone else have an affection for theme decks? I remember screwing around with friends playing MTG I'd have terrible decks like an all Goblin deck and I'm getting that itch again. Hoping I can work out an all beast deck for the...

I went to pains to explain exactly what I meant and was pretty obviously discussing the actual biochemistry. The reason things actually work the way they do is of primary interest to me and ought to be of primary interest to anyone actually interested in their health. Calling a diet "low-carb"...

Which is what I said. Short term it'll only be an issue for people who already have a liver or kidney issue. Long term is different. Perhaps you should go back and read my posts. I don't think of it is as meaningless. Sorry if I am addressing the actual biochemistry.

Books give people notoriety, it isn't about how much you make per book sale. Yes, notoriety means you can open up branches of your business in new places. Does that make him a good business man? Sure. Does it make him a medical doctor with a minimum of ten years of training in human biology? Not...

High-Protein Diets Can Hurt Kidneys You didn't look very hard. Also, again, your body turns the protein into sugar. That is a carbohydrate. If you're not doing ketosis, your body is still running on carbs. That is not a low-carb diet. Just because you put protein in your mouth doesn't mean...

Because a lot of people are unhealthy and sticking to a plan, any plan, is better than what they were doing. This isn't exactly news. Also ignoring science doesn't make it invalid, but here! 5 Most Common Low-Carb Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them) Point 2. By people who made their...

Experiment: Optimal Ketosis for Weight Loss and Improved Performance | DietDoctor.com Like that guy. He tracked both. See how as he gets into optimal ketosis his blood ketones go up but his urine ketones take a sharp dip? Takes some time, but it happens.

Because it is what your liver does with fats. In fact a person on a perfectly normal diet will still have ketones in their blood and urine, just in smaller amounts. But a person in ketosis will havelowerurine readings than a normal person, but higher blood readings. Aren't facts fun?
