Because protein gives no benefit whatsoever beyond .8 grams per pound of lean body weight at most and that study was based on professional athletes. Over the short term excess consumption won't do any damage, unless you already have a liver or kidney issue. If that plans works, I'd say it has to...

Because protein has 4 calories per gram. If protein is making up 35% of your calories then you have to calculate that. 200 grams of protein is 800 calories. 750 grams of protein (the number you used incorrectly) would be 3,000 calories of protein. @Denaut: The dangers of eating too much...

Wow... is that math wrong. Protein has 4 calories per gram. 2500*.35 is 875, divide by 4 is 218.75. So if you consume more than 218.75 grams of protein per day, you are (by your own numbers) at a serious risk level. You're consuming 200-300 grams per day. So, again, excess protein consumption...

So you're on a high carb, excess protein diet then. This is the kind of thing you should know, especially before recommending it to others. Your body is running on pure sugar that it breaks the protein down into because you aren't giving it enough normal carbs and unless you are eating a ton of...

Your body can break protein down into sugar via gluconeogensis, so if you are on a high protein diet with low carbs and aren't in ketosis from eating the correct amount of fat (at least twice as many grams of fat as protein for nutritional ketosis), you're actually on a high carb diet...

Has been gone over in the thread. We just assumed the OP was talking about the actual Monty Hall Problem (where that is in fact clear) and not, as it is known, The Ignorant Monty Hall or Monty Fall Problem.

Feminism, or rather the ideal of equal rights between genders, is a philosophical concept dating back centuries and is inherent in any number of humanist belief systems. Voting rights in the U.S. were an issue as far back as 1756. Martha Washington tried to convince the founding fathers to give...

I found them manually, though I kept the golden ones. Whoops. Ah well, I only have 3 (Blizzard, Savagery, and something else). So as soon as I get another Blizzard I'll nuke that. Also just got a Ysera, which I am looking forward to playing with. I ran up against it in Arena today and got...

If it is in a blended drink like a shake, raw greens are broken down enough to digest, yes. I'm not factoring in taste. That is way to much protein Nate. Even the "recommended" amount on most bodybuilding websites, 1g per pound of lean body weight, is way to much. No study has ever found...

Since the max number of a given card you can have in a deck is 2, should I just disenchant the extras I end up with so I can craft the cards I want?

It looks kind of like each of the trees is urinating on the carpet.

Just went and looked into it. $60 loss per console sold at release but they are expecting most initial purchases to break even overall at two games, an accessory, and a PS+ sub. Given past trends unless there is a price drop I'd expect them to start turning a profit on the hardware in a 7-12...

This isn't strictly true. The first console Nintendo sold at a loss was the GC and that only lasted a few months before cost of components and increase in efficiency of production started making it break even. The Wii, being almost identical to the GC hardware (seriously, emulators for the Wii...

You need to allow it save data locally or it won't work.

Sounds like stretching from a 4:3 to a 16:9 aspect ratio (this was also an issue with several official PS1 > PSP ports). Nice thing about the community emulators is you can just play in 4:3 if you want to or you can use the much superior stretching/scaling that emulators have.

I went to the Zelda 25th anniversary symphony. Would highly recommend looking that up for ideas. Most deep franchises have enough music for a whole night in and of themselves, I feel like having "theme" nights would be more fun for people. So all FF one night. All Zelda one night. Maybe by game...

That was gone over earlier in the thread and it is called a multi-stage Monty Hall. You stay until the last choice, then switch. Switching is still the right answer statistically.

I'm not sure why anyone wants PS1 emulation. Smart phones have PSX emulators at this point, even with a built-in controller ghosted over the screen so you can use the touchscreen. Granted I have an HTPC, but it is built for low power use, not gaming, and even it can run everything a PSX...

Statistics vary pretty widely. 15 out of 100 is a pretty common. 1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6 boys experience sexual molestation by the time they are 18. The problem is in estimating precisely how under reported it is. At least 3 million by age 13 is a relatively safe bet. The issue, as you'll see if...

Baking bread in general takes a certain amount of time if done correctly. Nature of the beast. Least you aren't feeding a wild starter. But at least it is mostly waiting time. You can go do other things. Once you get used to it actually making bread is a ~20min process of actually doing...

Actually that is what Veil was saying and if you read his response, he doubled-down. So... actually I think we agree.

He isn't wrong though. When you have the same game on two different platforms, using the same exact same engine, art assets, textures, etc., the only difference in graphical quality is resolution. Xbox is running most games at 720-900 and upscaling. All the PS4 games are running at 1080. So for...

English longbows, based on real data from ones found in a sunken ship that were preserved nigh perfectly: 100-185 foot pounds. Crossbow in video: Up to 152 foot pounds. So yeah, the handcrossbow that the Huntress had would be nowhere close (unless armor piercing arrows is a thing, in which...

^That. Remember the Suuko and Aang episode where they went to find a Dragon as a shortcut to mastering Firebending? To "learn from the source" as it were. And you saw the original avatar, who was briefly as acknowledged as being a badass Firebender by the guys he was fighting, training with...

This is really good advice. I'd actually be going to the audition in L.A. and I know a lot of dancers (I do partner dancing, pretty much all kinds of partner dancing) who would cheerfully stand in line with me and have a dance party if I asked them to. I figured that'd stand out and would give...

Asked a few Japanese friends of mine who live in Japan and play games. They aren't at all pissed. Japanese people really have a different mindset, they are happy Sony is clearly going to win this generation in probably all markets. If getting that edge means delaying in a market that is...

I think routines come and go because your body adapts and you need to do a new routine to wake it up again. Even ignoring cutting/bulking rotations most lifters I know completely change their weight routine every ~6 months, even if it all it involves is working the exact same muscles the exact...

I'll do MP10 with you if you don't mind it taking a while. Soloing it as a CM Wizard with my gear took a few tries, I imagine it'd be easier with another person.

Wait really? PenFed has a pretty good rewards card that I always wrote off as not being applicable to me. On an unrelated note, anyone have a CarFax account they wouldn't mind running a VIN through for me?

Slaves Didnt Build Pyramids: Egypt : Discovery News Who Built the Pyramids? | Harvard Magazine Jul-Aug 2003 Pyramids 'not built by slaves' - Telegraph Actually generally accepted that slaves had nothing to do with building the pyramids.

That looks pretty close to 10' to me. If it is like 2' across each of their chests, it is maybe a 2'-3' bigger, but not a lot.

Masterchef auditions are coming up.... was thinking about trying out. Chance to win 250k and a book deal for 11 weeks of filming while cooking six days a week. Nothing if you lose. Apparently all the winners so far regret it due to the pressure of being in the public eye after their win. I can...

Double post.

http://www.rawbw.com/~svw/superman.html Relevant. Yeah, the reason Superman eventually hooked up with Wonder Woman was primarily because she was one of the few females on Earth who wouldn't die from the experience of him ejaculating in her. So Superman was a virgin for a looooooong time.

My thumbs might get tired after a while (6+ hours) and I didn't think they were too close or anything, but the PS4 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold and have your thumbs on the sticks. Caveat; I play piano, my fingers don't get tired very easily.

Last generation, this was true. But their are over forty changes to the Xone controller vs the 360s. And the PS4 controller is a complete redesign in a lot of ways, even if it looks similar. Wait till you get them in your hands. The difference is marked.

The 'brussels sprouts' gene: TAS2R38 | Anna Perman's Genetic Spaghetti | Science | theguardian.com Covers the important points pretty well. It is amazing to me how much our genes influence our taste. For really obvious things we've made a lot of progress, but think about all the potential...

That is a Wartenberg Wheel (aka Wartenberg Pinweel aka Wartenberg Neurowheel), for anyone who wants to look into it. Originally invented as a medical device for testing nerve sensitivity. Somewhat ironic, given that the vast majority sold these days are used for BDSM. GIS for "aka". Oblig. pic.

Washington Beer Blog is a pretty serious beer site and they did a taste test, no noticeable difference from craft beers. The thing is essentially a microbrewery in and of itself, no reason it can't turn out top-notch beer. Think of it more like the first home espresso machine.
