How you look signals what sorts of conversation are likely to be possible or interesting. e.g. if you really like knitting, go talk to the person wearing the nice custom sweater.

I'd also feel really weird getting a job via acquaintance. Its like a kind of nepotism I don't want or need.

I think the article is saying that the field affect appears to be completely uniform.

Technically, if the electron can affect something at a great distance via gravity or releasing photons you could say the size of an electron is many light years in diameter. Or you could call it infinitesimally tiny.

Neutrons and protons we know to be complicated little parties of quarks and gluons, each of which are, as far as we know, are also elementary particles like leptons.

Many people's body's response to overfeeding is to up NEAT, up fidgetyness. But not always. Your body thinks getting fat is a good thing. Famine used to be common. When dieting almost everyone down-regulates NEAT. On a severe diet you feel like being very still.

What likely happened is that reducing carbs reduced beagle3's appetite and he ate less. Unless...

...unless beagle3 has a magic body that has never once been seen in any controlled experiment. But he probably does, since every dieter who has problems believes they have a special body that science can't explain. So they buy a book and a program from someone who tells them what they want to hear. And if their guru is on their game they sell very very expensive supplements.

Because its a well known scientific fact that the first law of thermodynamics applies to everything in the universe except a disgruntled dieter.

800kcals a day is typically enough for a 100 lb person to lose nearly a half a pound of fat a week. That's low calorie by most people's measure. Certainly mine at 200lbs

When most people are talking about 'losing weight' they mean losing fat. At least losing actual body tissue. Anyone can gain or lose 10% of their body weight in a few days by controlling for carbs. But its just water.

Try to ignore rat studies if you possibly can. Their metabolism, particularly their capacity for denovo lipogenisis is very very different than that of human beings.

You can get razor sharp lean on a diet with lots of carbs in it and you can get nice and fat on a ketogenic diet.

No controlled calorie study supports the idea that carbs, fats or proteins have any particular metabolic advantage over the minor differences in their thermic effects of feeding (TEF) (essentially energy required to digest).

Edit: I too was looking for gossip from a former engineer.

Twitter does it so much better.

I wonder if the FB gods ever run statistics of how many people are "friends" and have mutually hidden each other.

  #!/bin/bash
  if [[ "$1" = "-n" ]]; then
    DETACH=
    shift;
  else
    DETACH="screen -d -m"
  fi

  for i in $NODES; do
    echo $DETACH ssh $i $@
    $DETACH ssh $i $@
  done;

I was talking about client workstations in non-technical environments where central command wants to be able to patch your OS. The Hypervisor downloads OS of the day and runs it, the OS downloads personal settings from some shared server and you have your environment on a disposable workstation.
