    Ah, that was just to house size? Sorry, my bad. Earning potential probably outweighs all others, easily. I often worry if I'm making the right choice settling down in Ithaca, NY in regards to my career. I'm worried I'll have to move someday to Boston or California to get noticeable raises...

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    Goes well with some mercury. More seriously, it was a half-sarcastic attempt to point out that removing something from someone's diet CAN improve your energy and well-being. Do I believe, for most people, gluten is that thing? No. More than likely, it's mostly placebo affect. I'm also...

    Right, but it does contribute to joeboo's original question of "how to fuck do people live in cities". You're really just pointing out how much more of a pain, monetarily, in the ass a city can be.

    Gentrification, mainly. A lot of people in those cities don't buy houses, ever. They just rent and buy nice cars instead.

    Yes, there are healthy version of saturated and unsaturated fats, but you want less of the former. But still some. Some of your recommendations are kind of a bummer. No corn or soy fed animal meat? Hard to do or expensive. And I'm not sure I even understand the reasoning behind that one...

    Sounds like varying saturations of fat. If fructose really is that bad, I'd like to see more than just "sugar Xg" on a label.

    40-50g of sugar is a toxic dose? Isn't that a bit stringent? I just posted 48g by lunch. Here's what I've had to eat: 2/3 cup of milk, 8g of sugar 87g of quaker oat squares, 14g of sugar 100g of plain nonfat greek yogurt, 4g of sugar 1T of grated romano, 0g of sugar 1/4T of honey, 4g...

    I'm not refuting what you're saying about the placebo affect. But it's also doubtful he ate those buns explicitly thinking they were going to give him liquid shits.

    What is all this "gluten-free" shit?

    Seriously, distilled vinegar? I'll take burping/farting for the deliciousness that is gluten-based foods. Headaches and warts? I might consider switching then. Suitable replacements, however, are fucking expensive. And I'm referring to stuff like tapioca flour and xanthan gum.

    Denaut, thanks for the link, that's some interesting data. But that does sort of agree with my point. Educating yourself on what goes into your body is the prime reason I like calorie counting. So, instead of "never drink soda", it should be "you should stay away from soda because it's been...

    Ossoi, I never said you shouldn't pay attention to body fat percentage. Your problem is how you interpret those measurements. Notice how you left out my next sentence where I said BMI can't be applied accurately to an individual? I know what my BMI is because I too was concerned about being...

    I might be. My BMI is right in the middle of "normal" for my height. Of course, BMI is a population average and can't be applied accurately to single person. I am counting calories to put on some muscle mass. And it's helpful so I know to overeat more in protein than other calories. Whether...

    160 lbs, 6'. No idea what my body fat percentage is. Not sure how else to quantify it for you. I wouldn't actually say that's a healthy *portion*. The food is definitely healthy. But I know from your other posts you eat 6 meals a day. Otherwise, for a normal 3 meals a day person, that...

    It's not that much effort. Once you have most of the food and recipes you frequently eat entered into whatever program you would use to track, it's 5-10 minutes a day, tops. And most of that can be done while you're watching a tv show that doesn't require full attention. I'd rather control...

    I've been recommended Snapper by a couple family member, never heard of the company. 1.5 acres might be a lot with a push mower, but I don't mind if it's a lot cheaper than paying someone. Decent exercise too!

    Anyone got some recommendations on lawnmowers? Got about 1.5 acres to mow, all relatively flat. I would rather not buy a rider, that's a little more than I'd like to pay right now. Conversely, does anyone here pay for a lawn service? Curious what those cost compared to doing it yourself.

    Saints row 4

    I have nothing wrong with sandbox games. I think they need a little more than some whacky humor(and the humor is very good at times) to tie it all together. That's why I was ragging on the shooter mechanics. I've played sandbox games with good combat, that's basically what Prototype is. And...

    So, someone help me out here because I don't see the appeal of actually playing these types of games. There's only so many dudes I can club with giant dildos before the whackiness wears off and it just becomes a sandbox with bland shooter gameplay. I gave SR2 a try, got bored, wrote it off...
