I’m picky and there just aren’t too many good ones, free or paid, so I’d probably pay some small amount.

Yeah, everyone’s different. My intake is around 10k kcal when cycling throughout the day, and it’s like nothing. How much I climb matters though, by a lot (at least 2 000 m). Strangely enough, hiking doesn’t cut it for me, it doesn’t go down much even after 50 km/day, which is wild (I still do it though).

I generally lose 1 kilo a day on bikepacking trips (or 100 km every three or four days). No yo-yo effect.

I’d argue emotinal intelligence is at least as important. The most successful people in business I’ve met are exceptionally good in empathy and highly social. Hard IQ is just a piece of the puzzle.

Also stress can play a role, along with one’s ability to remain 100 % focused.

The score is tied to your age and is relative to the whole population of that age, IIRC. It’s been a long time since I took the paid test. So today’s 100 is, say, 130 fifty years ago. I think there were 4 age groups.

What always surprises me is they remember places they haven't been at for many years as well. Not so much people in my experience. I guess we don't matter to them as much as we like to think we do :)

It's not uncommon at all. Take toothache, for example. The catch is they can't tell you, and we are terrible at reading the subtle signs.

Dogs aren't exactly wild animals. They've picked up lots of bad habits along the way, due to selective breeding, not having to hunt for food, and whatnot. I used to have a caucasian shepherd, among other dogs we've had in our family, and as she started aging, it had become gradually quite difficult to keep her weight in check. "Forcing" her eat less and more frequently did the trick. She had hip dysplasia, so it was either this or put her to sleep. She got used to it eventually. Some dogs tend to overeat (apparently labradors have a problem here, some boxers too, from top of my head), some don't. Letting them choose may or may not be the right strategy. The owner should be smart and responsible enough to figure it out. But that's a different issue altogether.

I know guys who grow and breed their own strains, some of them have been doing it since the early 90s. It's super easy, if you're willing to sacrifice some of the plants. The best weed I've had always grew outdoor. It's kinda sad most people have gone indoor over the years. Anyway, there are strains on the market that are well balanced/easygoing, just look for stuff with as much sativa in the mix as possible, for some strange reason they are harder to find. I personally really like Jack Diesel from Dinafem, even autoflowering works great.

Instant media coverage perhaps? I've had long conversations with some of the people from this group in the past and my conclusion is they have no idea what they're doing. With enough arguments, their claims and worldviews ALWAYS fall apart at some point (it's actually surprisingly easy, which is sort of terrifying). I'm not at all against young people or activists per se. Anyway, do I need "fresh" sea food being shipped to the EU from central Asia every three days? Absolutely not. Good, so let's found a non-profit or a company and get to work.

Even then it sucks. How is this different from the skateboarding/snowboarding scene, for example? You wear the brand, so to speak, you get paid.
To this day I still don’t know why, but I used to love MooTools.
