Run because cardiac health and general fitness are important. Manage calorie intake if your only goal is weight loss
> apparently, 10 pounds of weight loss is roughly a clothing size [XL → L → M] What? This is so wrong I'm confused how it could have possibly made it in. As a 5'7" guy, I was a M at 145, and still an M when I hit 175,…
The Japanese word for shadow?
My understanding is that all current Teslas use radial flux motors
It's an odd article, because it claims that shops being open until 10pm (after a siesta break) is the solar-based schedule
This is the most significant record in running to fall since 1954 when a sub-4 minute mile was run. I think running can be front page news once a century
The average monthly payment for a used car in the US in 2025 was $532, according to https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/average-car-paym.... This does not count insurance, taxes, parking, or gas. A status symbol…
This is a really cool hack, and I wish I could pay for things with a dumb watch. It's just the right level of useful and silly to be up my alley. But the article, as others have mentioned, is a little off. The author…
Note that a kg of fat contains about 9000 calories, while a kg of sugar contains about 4000 calories, so this is really a startling claim, if true
3 feet times 3 feet is 9 square feet
I was surprised to see "An Abundance of Katherines", given that it's not John Green's newest or most highly regarded work. I looked into the comments to see why it was being discussed, but it seems to be a…
Also a "stacked pair" of USB type-A ports, when there are clearly 4
The neat thing about electric cars is that they get cleaner as the grid gets cleaner. If you bought an EV in 2015 (when this report was published) and were worried about the grid mix, I have good news for you.…
You're gonna have to locate yourself for this comment to make any sense. Plenty of places still get snow regularly in winter, and nothing humans can do will change that

Yes, this was in fact an explanation of a joke. "In Soviet Russia, Rome is a poor city" requires both a currently-existing Soviet Russia, and Rome to be a part of it. Both of those are far-fetched. "Russia seems poised…
This also applies to getting in a car with a human driver, or to driving yourself. Or to any other way of getting from point A to point B

I really expected this to be overblown clickbait, but the article delivers on the title about as well as it could. I have seen many more breathless articles on treatments that weren't already conducting human safety…
Okay, but what about humidity? I was excited to read about a failure mode where the moisture content of air mattered, or at least get mildly clickbaited into learning about a tool called Humidity. Instead there are no…
I did not interpret the article as you did, and thought it was clear throughout that the author was talking about an individual read from memory, not reading all of a given amount of memory. "Memory access, both in…

I don't know of any specific thresholds, but it's worth mentioning that 54% of Q2 was renewable, and solar peaks in Q2. Solar was also only 36.8% of that renewable generation (just under 20% of Q2's total), so there's a…
