Of course eating at a calorie deficit will work for everyone if your only goal is 'lose weight'. If you actually want to be healthy it's more complicated than that.

I don't think it's cutting off for them. The lack of margin at the bottom makes it feel unfinished though.
Useful for sketching but any real work is going to be done with an actual drawing tablet like the ones Wacom makes.

I'm interested in something like this for high-end CGI and graphics work. Being able to use a macbook air with a big workstation back end in the cloud would be a dream. I know there are render farm solutions that big studios use but realtime access to lots of computing power from anywhere would be amazing for freelancers and smaller studios.

I'm a UI and motion designer. I use it for curating different types of art that I see around the internet. If I need inspiration for a project its helpful to look through some of my boards for ideas. Sometimes I'll make one-off boards for individual projects also.
I've found it can be helpful for research too as just an organizational tool. For example I'm building an LED display so I've been collecting useful links or cool applications of LEDs on a board.
Here's my pinterest if you're interested:

I think you're probably right. Except in this case, bitcoin was actually designed. Gold and gold deposits just naturally had the right characteristics to work as a currency.

I'm no expert by any means but aren't the account number and routing number both printed on the bottom of every check? Are you saying that simply giving a check to someone compromises your checking account?

As long as you don't hit the ground while fully at rest it'll be fine.

The New Republic uses something like this in a cool way. As you scroll down the article, a progress bar on top shows how far you are through the article.

It's not pointless if you are looking for a place to eat sushi. You're performing a hypothetical search for something that you aren't actually looking for and then calling the results pointless.

Dining and living in the dorms is an extra cost on top of tuition. At least at the public universities I'm familiar with.
Re:Tesla to triple supercharger network by the end of June

I'm pretty sure the supercharges are hooked up to solar panels for power generation as well as the grid. I'm sure without the grid they won't be able to charge at full output but they should still work.

I don't think this is the case. A large number of reddit users either use reddit enhancement suite or hover zoom, both if which allow you to view images without leaving the page. Also comments are a huge part of reddit which all takes place on the site.

Also, it is perfectly acceptable for them to not ever read him the Miranda rights. They just won't be able to use those statements against him in court. Not like they're gonna have trouble convicting him anyways.
