    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Not the fad paleo diet, I am referring to what HG societiesactuallyate. On a diet like that, the issues you listed that whole grains "solve" are non-existent. Not reduced, as with 25% grains, butgone.If gone isn't better than reduced, then you have very funny metrics.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    So what you're saying is you did no research on what paleo diets actually consisted of before posting a link and arguing that grains are the way to go? Of course if you eat a high fat, high carb diet you are going to have screwed up bloodwork. That is the one thingno oneis suggesting. All of...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    http://www.marksdailyapple.com/life-...nter-gatherer/ Short article summarizing a rather thorough study, which it also links. Hunter-gatherers who die of old age live to be about 72. None of the researchers working on the study have any vested interest in the paleo diet, they are just...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Again, people only started living longer then they did pre-agriculture very recently. And no one said all grains were bad, Dashel has said repeatedly that rice doesn't seem to have the same effects, because Asians live longer (though their traditional diet is otherwise so far off the western one...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    And your point is....? It has a blurb at the beginning about how we've eaten grains a long time. True. But pre-agriculture it made up 5% of our diet, whereas meat (and fat from meat) made up 70+% of our diet (hunter/gatherer cultures). The rest is in reference to modern studies, particularly...

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Actually skeletal evidence would suggest that the invention of agriculture, which is when we started eating grains as a primary part of our diet, drastically shortened lifespans. From something like 50-60 to late 30s at most. Correlation is not causation though, the greater population density...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    This already kind of happens a lot of places. They have a price and then they have a "You pay cash, you get a discount" price. What is really going on is they figured out what the CC costs are and marked up to match that and the cash price is the actual price. Particularly with gas in a fair...

    Torrents

    FLAC and Vinyl rips are near impossible to find outside of private trackers. And if you do find them, you have no way of knowing if some idiot didn't just transcode an mp3 into a FLAC file. Private trackers have quality control. Plus where do you think public trackers get their files, for the...

    Torrents

    You can also check your local library's online search to see if they have any posted requests. People seem to forget that libraries have music these days and often they often have obscure stuff that they have held onto for however long.

    Building a decent size media storage server

    Personally my home NAS is primarily taken up by video games. I just like the idea that I have every video game for basically every console that is currently emulatable. Between that and an enormous music collection... I don't keep shows or movies at all.

    Coffee thread

    Vacuum brewing is awesome, but it needn't be that expensive. The Bodum models are like $80, and there are a few that are like $20 (but use a disposable filter, which you can actually replace with a glass rod filter from an older model that is no longer made, just check eBay). Done properly it...

    Torrents

    Most of them you just login and it looks like a torrent client. From that point if you know how to use a torrent client, you're basically set. Mine has an ftp login so I can download the completed torrents from it but that is easy, as well. The only complicated bit for me was I had to ask...

    Textbook Tips and Tricks

    Did they change it? It used to just be free, period (you had to renew it every year to prove you still had the address). Though I guess with the lame "Here is a $1 coupon for mp3's if you don't pick 2-day shipping" thing, they probably started losing a bit of money on Prime/Student.

    New Years Resolutions 2013

    Not sure where I picked it up anymore, but I've been doing something that really helped me change some things about my life. Make a list of things you want to change and get an old-fashioned wall calendar. The process is called "Don't break the chain." Every day you do the things on the list...

    Music software

    I also dance Waltz, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Tango, Argentine Tango, Samba, Salsa, Mambo, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Merengue, Bolero, Bachata, and Kizomba. You can kind of see why it'd be nice to have all the songs you can dance to a given dance labeled. Though threads you...

    Textbook Tips and Tricks

    If you're in school, that means you probably have an e-mail address that ends in .edu. Amazon Student is Amazon Prime, except free, the only requirement is that you can provide a .edu e-mail. Enjoy.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Two years from now season 4 (book 3) will just be ending, because book 3 is two seasons. Book 4 is also likely to be two seasons, as is book 5, so we are something like six years away from catching up. Originally the series was supposed to be seven books. George had the idea for the climax of...

    Music software

    So I have a couple of unique issues I am hoping for some help with. I recently a built a NAS so I could put my FLAC music collection all in and one place and run an arcade front end on my HTPC. I wanted to get some ideas of what music software people use to manage their libraries, as now that...

    OLED TVs

    They consume roughly half the power of normal LEDs. This wasn't true when they were in development, but that was in 2006-2007, they've been a power improvement since 2009. Which is why they are on cameras, smart phones, etc., now. My point was they should go to laptops next, not TVs, where power...

    OLED TVs

    Seems like laptop screens would also have been a better market, since OLEDs consume less power, in addition to not requiring a backlight, which would also make it consume less power. That is the big advantage on phones, as well. The display eats up nearly all of the battery on a high-end smart...

    Credit Score Thread

    This is anecdotal and I am obviously an exception, I know you're generally correct, but I thought I'd share an experience I had when I bought my last car. I went through Costco's auto-program, which gives you discounts with dealers who have deals with Costco. I had to drive an hour or so to get...
