I hope this hasn't been linked yet. This is a TED Talk of research around the development of neurons as adults. A while back it was thought this didn't happen. They say not only does this happen, it happens a lot, and your diet and activity has an effect on how much it happens. You have to...

People making products and selling them at a very small profit is evil. Hippies never change.

Have said they need to remove workers since civ 3. They're terrible. I suspect builders will also be terrible though. Non-military entities of any kind don't deserve a place as controllable map units on the same map as military units, including settlers. Maybe have two unit overlays that...

Highly approve.

I wholeheartedly agree. OJ, especially without pulp, is just sugar water. People say "oh it's juice, it's healthy." Yea, drinking several cups of it removed from the fibrous package it comes in, you're on the way to diabeetus town. Eating fruit has a lot of benefits that don't carry over to...

Yea, I linked it on my FB. I rarely use FB for anything. This is a move in the right direction. Sugar, at the levels that the average american consumes it, is poison. I've been trying to convince some of my co-workers to drop the soda forever now. They're still fat, and still doing the dew...

Liquid calories is always step #1. You don't need them. Remove them. A habitual coffee with sugar in the morning and/or red wine at night is not a deal breaker, but they should be considered in the larger scope of things. Soda, sweet tea, energy drinks, etc. throughout the length of the day...

FUCK YEAH! LadyVex for God Emperor!

You could try using a site like fitmatic.com which lets you enter a lot of body measurements to get a more accurate picture of your BF/MM%. It allows you to enter skinfold measurements as well as simple circumferences. Skinfold measurements are among the most accurate methods you can...

It's not simply about the mass of fat vs. muscle. Fat has many harmful effects on multiple organs. Your skeleton can support larger muscle mass. The larger issue with lifting is destroying your joint flexibility through use, not because of a larger mass of muscle. Your organs cannot function...

BMI isn't relevant for bodybuilders. It doesn't distinguish between fat and muscle. Muscle mass and or body fat percentages are much more relevant metrics for determining general health.

Negative. And you're conflating two issues. 1) You say the results should be the same regardless, so intent isn't relevant. 2) He's saying choice exists even if an object beyond our control them entirely on its own and we only think they're our choices. That's a complete contradiction, and...

I thought that was Mist. That's not cool bro.Now I have to re-read half the thread.

I think you're not getting just how basic the distinction is here. You don't have a choice if they're right. There is no infinite. You didn't choose. You think you did. You think you have the option. You thinking that also isn't an option. It's beyond your grasp. You're just a witness, a...

I think it's bullshit, or at least my brain decided I would type that. We have free will. And Aldarion is right, without it, morality and our justice system can't function properly. Many laws specifically require intent. If you can't possess intent because it's not under your control...

I'd be fine with picture 3. Not there yet. He's bigger than me though. Similar position as Warmuth I figure. Also I can lift more than many of the guys at work that weigh 230+, and keep at it for hours. Few guys were calling me mouse a bit ago. It didn't stick, but the reference was mighty...

I assure you I'm not. I wish I had definition at 200. I was talking to my friends about taking my diet more seriously at 230+ and my idea was to eventually get to 200 lb and 10% bf, but I underestimated just how long that would take, by a LOT.

6' 160 lb. My goal when I started at 235 was to see my abs. It hasn't changed. I hoped to see them at 170, so my diet shifted around 180 to be much less extreme, and I've been inching down, but they're still not visible. I can see everything else, so I want to complete the package. I'm...

Netflix, Amazon, and HBO are all I care about.

I'd have to amp my calories a lot to make sure my lifting is doing anything. I don't want to waste my time. If I'm going to lift I'm going to shift my diet and really make it count. I'm still targeting fat burn over muscle gain right now, but I'm considering a change of pace if I don't get...

At the height of my weight loss back in November/December, I was eating basically the exact same thing every day. Cottage Cheese+Pineapples in the morning (3/4 cup), Chicken/Feta/Spinach Pita Sandwich with Broccoli for lunch, and some Greek Vanilla Yogurt (1/2 cup) at night. I prioritized...

I like Win10, but I smiled.

That's what I'm saying. I need to lift. I don't add weights. I just add sets. I can't exhaust myself before work. I could try lifting before I go to bed, but I've read a few articles encouraging morning workouts.

That must feel great dude. Congrats.

I'm involved in a war with a 3 part alliance against myself and my ally. They're stronger, but as soon as I started playing offense rather than defense they stopped working together. They are 5+4+2k armies, and could decimate my 6+3k combination (4+1k at the beginning of the war), but they...

Probably. I didn't used to think I was, but I have gotten quite slim. I may be slightly between ecto and meso, but I don't know. I just have less core muscle than I thought I did. I can do hanging sit-ups, pull-ups, etc. but when you're not moving a lot of weight you have to do a lot of...

The Federation leader can build "Federation" ships using the tech of each member combined, but the fleet created by this method swaps possession to whomever gains the lead of the Federation. It's pretty cool, but the AI doesn't use it. I'd say right now the AI is too bad to really work with...

I eat a lot of broccoli and spinach. I'm trying to mix it up a little, not because I'm tired of either, but because I figure I should have a slightly more varied/balanced diet.

Yea, mine don't show. I'm trying to get to where I can see them, but my abs and buttocks still have a bit of sway. I suspect at least half of the body fat I have left is there. I added (roughly) because bf% measurements are all different. Some measurements might still have me around 10%...

You don't, afaik. They'll get there. They have that kind of thing in many of their other games. Naselus is planning to do a total overhaul mod called Relativity. He's laying out what his plans are, and has already released the early stages of it, but it's got a lot of jagged edges atm...

chocolate chip cookies are evil. Finally got under 7% bf (roughly), but man, my psychological understanding of what a portion size is has been lagging behind what I should be eating. I ought to count calories better than I do, but I wing it pretty much everytime and just go ham working out to...

wormholes are totally fucking OP, or rather, everything else sucks. I think path control should be more strongly enforced by fortresses and the such, and fortresses should be more economically viable to distribute for different purposes. As it is there is little difference between the...

It needs to be optimized better for late game performance and needs to streamline its micromanagement handling features like sectors and fleet construction. 3/5 atm. It's a good game, but they can do better, and I expect them to. CK2 released much more wobbly than this, and it's amazing now.

Yea, you actually spoke to someone who can tie his shoelaces without help and it was basically painless. That's the best. I can't stand how stupid a lot of car salesman are. The quality of their customers is generally about even though. I had some random conversations with other customers...

OK, some of my friends are really into this. I never got serious about it. I still won't now, but I would like to try and understand it better and build a decent deck so I can have a serious conversation about it. Any concise beginner guides to read and develop my understanding that y'all...

fuckin sweet dude

Yea, I would like a "campaign" with a fictional historical setting, but I'm willing to give Paradox the benefit of the doubt atm. They've blended making large and small entities relevant for a few years now in a way no one else has come close to. I don't think we'll need asymmetric starting...

Yea, HoI4's development has a huge focus on attracting at least the EU/CK audience to the game, if not more. I hope they update Rome this decade. I'm super hyped for Stellaris. I don't know what made them decide to go for a space game, but I speculate it's Gal Civ 3 being very weak...

Yes. They do, presently.
