Have you been tested for food intolerances/allergies? Especially wheat? Do you also suffer from atopic dermatitis?
jj89··on AdultFriendFinder was hacked
You need to double that, unless you exclude females. Why do you stop at 55?

"15-24 years: 12.11% (male 1,050,889/female 1,010,596) 25-54 years: 39.83% (male 3,400,998/female 3,377,311)"

jj89··on Germany Runs Up Against the Limits of Renewables
Yeah you get nice numbers if you ignore the total energy usage. The numbers you gave are only one fifth of Germanys total energy consumption. I was off by 2% though, 3% is covered by renewables. We are not only talking electric, but total energy: heat, oil etc.

jj89··on Germany Runs Up Against the Limits of Renewables
Welcome to germany, land of the green and people who consider their morality to be superior. We spend $25bn/year to produce 1% of our energy usage by renewables. We shut down our mostly modern atom reactors to burn more coal. We now spend ~30 dollar cent per kilowatt hour to have much dirtier energy than most of the rest of europe. We pay money to our neighbours so they take away our surplus of energy at peaks and push the energy distribution to the limits which results in instabilities. Newbuild house prices have increased by 40% in the last ten years just because of the extremely high energy standards home builders have to adhere too (insulation, stupid energy exchangers et. al)

And all the while we are the only sane people in our own eyes.

I got lucky - first try #9 on GOOGL, outperforming 99,4% of all players http://imgur.com/yWohi4J

and #8 outperforming 99.6% a few tries later http://imgur.com/75raZvr - returns 6462% on a stock that lost 75.3% over that period
