I find I put on weight much more easily nowadays. So I have to watch what I eat. The alternative is making myself prone to illness.

I am a foodie myself, so I do sympathise. There is a type of fasting where you just try to keep your eating within an 8 hour window. e.g. between 12 noon and 8pm. It helps trigger the Sirtuin genes which are anti-aging.

My recommendation is to start with very few items on the grid. Make sure it does conditional formatting so the colour changes when ticked. I found that more motivational, since you can then see more clearly gaps and try to keep the streak going. The spreadsheet is much easier and more flexible...

Todays weight is 13st 7.9lbs, which means I have now lost 10.1lbs. Not long until I will have lost a complete stone (14lbs). I am now the lightest I have been since I started recording my weight, which was Feb 8th, 2014. So, that is the lightest for over 5 years. Feeling pretty chuffed with...

Yes, it can get ugly over here too, although I kind of think that things in the US have gone a bit extreme lately. You may meet someone and like them. But when you start to talk about politics and there is a difference...

I have three recommendations for you. But like everything, if you ignore them you will get nowhere. Read the following, and in the order given: 1. "I know how to change" - this statement is false https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/i-know-how-to-change-this-statement-is-false.382/ 2...

One thing to factor in when talking about the relative value of an individual, is that the scale doesn't necessarily have to be just positive. It could have a negative axis too. For example, Hitler provided negative value to the Jews. Then again, he provided positive value to the Brownshirts...

Today, 7 MP's split from the Labour party to form their own party, The Independence Group. Some of the reasons for this split include rampant racist anti-semitism within their own ranks. Some statistics have come out recently where 700 reports of anti-semitic behaviour have occured within the...

I had a tricky epub book recently, with all kinds of complicated formatting. I tried a whole bunch of methods to get it cleanly into Supermemo, but none worked. So, after a lot of trial and error, I came across a workflow that got the job done. 1. Add ePub to Calibre (free software) 2. Right...

Eugenics is selective breeding. But that is not so far removed from gene editing to remove a babies risk of a certain disease. With Crispr cas9 technologies, children will soon be tweaked for improvements or get left behind. If your child had progeria, for example, wouldn't you want to tweak the...

Ah, I thought you might have been. It is an interesting read. My perspective is unconventional but mathematically sound!

A few things of note this week. Firstly, my average getting up time was 7:49am. That must be the earliest week for about 12 years! I am finding I am knackered by 11pm now, since my body has re-adjusted. Leaving my phone in my office rather than bedroom has helped me get to sleep much earlier...

Hunting for your credit card, realise it is not in your pocket and then your stomach drops. Then, you find you are already holding it. :sick:

Different times. We used to have gladiator battles to the death.

Gasp! :eek: Does that mean you see my point?

A mother says the helpless Sleeping Beauty got kissed but without consent. This is a sexual assault, clear and simple. Outrageous! Polluting fragile tots with such mysogynistic behaviour legitimises toxic masculinity. The fact she would have continued in a coma for the rest of her life without...

Jordan usually says that 10% of the population have IQ's too low for them to do any meaningful work. This brings an inherent problem as society has to then support them, forever! I say bring in some gene editing. Give them a cognitive boost with a bit of Crispr gene editing and slap one of those...

Do you have lots of kimchi over there? That is supposed to be super-healthy. I tried some and it wasn't quite to my taste, but I can see how many people would like it.

For me, practice makes perfect. If you are only consciously competent, you are not fluent. It is only when you are unconsciously competent that you become fluent. So, unless you practice speaking, you will not become fluent at speaking. Also, each time you speak something, you embed that neural...

Hmmm, this is interesting. I took my NR supplement for the first time last night. It is supposed to be good for helping with sleep. According to my Fitbit, I got my best nights sleep in ages! See diagram below. It could be chance as I only have one data point and I was tired yesterday. But I...
