You're forgetting that your body changes those dry sugars into fat by adding water, so if you were dehydrated, you wouldn't put on the fat either - Though you could die from dehydration, so don't do that either. Your body is basically always 55-60% water, so if you're very heavy, you're storing a lot of water as well.

Calories are the unit of measuring heat energy. You should actually light a peanut on fire and light a dried piece of cabbage on fire.

Which one burns hotter, brighter, longer? This is actually the test they do in the lab to figure out calories, using a device called a bomb calorimeter.

It's chemical energy just like gasoline in your car. Not all gas is the same octane.

It could also be that the brain is simply a receiver and cpu. Like a dial up connection to the internet. But instead it connects to the mind. Which may or may not be present in the body. If the receiver breaks down or the cpu and mem gets damaged, the information downloaded obviously gets misinterpreted and or causes memory fails and bad computations.

Debit cards are still generally authorized on the credit card network and are subject to transaction fees (Visa and MC mostly)

Likely because that's where we see and hear from

I used to work in publishing and this is called “title case” and it is usually only the main words with an upper case first letter only. The Princess and the Pea, for example. It increases readability and indicates that the phrase it a title.

If I give you 100 dollars to repair the sink, and you only spend 50 of it, next time I need the sink fixed I’m going to give you 50 dollars. The other 50 goes to other expenses or into savings.

Companies use the same philosophy. Budgets which aren’t spent go straight to the bottom line of that years accounting, leading to more profits.

The cabbage has a lot of fibre that will pass through you (although this is good for your gut), and water as well that you'll just pee out.

You don't gain the weight of what you eat anyway. You need to process and digest it, which uses energy, and your body uses energy to heat itself, do basic processes, keep your brain running, etc.

Per gram, each macro (fat, carb, protein) has a different calorie value. It's based on how easy it is for your body to break it down and use the components as energy. Calories are just energy.

The macros/foods might have other properties. Protein is also used for muscle building and repair.

It’s not so much a set in stone requirement, as much as a practical reality of budgeting. If the business owner sees one department consistently not spending their full budget, they think that department doesn’t need that budget.

Now in large corporations the ones making those decisions are disconnected from actual operations, so they don’t know the broader context of why that budget wasn’t used

Tl;Dr: assholes with business degrees

On this, where does that snow go? I’m trying to imagine shoveling snow in somewhere like Brooklyn. What space are you moving that snow to?

This is an interesting statement. Is there no place in the universe so distant from any large mass that 0 gravity or negligible gravity could be attained?

Force of gravity drops exponentially with distance so I feel like this is very possible.

Edit: after a little googling and finding out the shockingly huge mass of stars like our sun. I believe finding a spot in space with negligible gravity may be harder than I thought.

Lagrange points are cool in that the gravity force of two masses cancel out there, but it's really no different than how orbiting causes 0 g's even though gravity is still present

Right, but a single Snickers bar would net more bodyweight than a single head of cabbage is my point, because the Snickers bar is higher in calories, which means that the starting weight of the pre-consumed food is not indicative of weight gain. So how is that weight being actualized during the digestive process?

great question but unfortunately a poor answer

I’m guessing that the question is related to businesses that require shoes.

A few reasons that have come up over the years are: people bringing in dirt from outside (which happens more with shoes with any texture to the sole), a general classist view of barefoot=poor=dirty, a legal protection for the business in regards to people getting injured in their building.

I’m a former barefooter who occasionally relapses. I’m barefoot at home, in socks at client homes unless they are so dirty it’s not wise, and tend to minimalist shoes with nice toe boxes. I will walk barefoot on park grass, I have hiked in thicker forest duff barefoot (but know the real risks and they exist), I even tried true barefoot running (pre rise of “barefoot shoes”).

Growing up, I had multiple neighbors who were barefoot outside of school and animal chores. Only two cases of hookworm in almost 19 years.

In a city, I have defaulted to shoes.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all directly related. Judaism is the oldest by a few thousand years, and arose in the Middle East with some influences from Zoroastrianism. The important part is that the Jews believe in the idea of a Messiah, who will come to Earth at some point and uplift humanity.

Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism that arose in the first few centuries of the common era. Christianity is based around the idea that Jesus Christ, a Jewish religious figure from the Second Temple era, fulfilled the idea of the Jewish Messiah, and was the son of god.

Islam rose a few hundred years after Christianity in Arabia, and centered on the conquest of Arabia by Muhammad. Within Islam, Muhammad is considered the final prophet, overriding the scriptural rules of both Judaism and Christianity.

Buddhism is a completely separate religion that arose in India, and is slightly older than Christianity, centered on the teachings and philosophies of Siddhartha Gautama, who was enlightened and thus became the Buddha.

It matters for pensions doesn't it?

There's probably more to it, but the fact that you're using your head senses the majority of the time could cause the sensation you are describing as the norm.

Even the smaller amount of time you're lying in bed in the dark, you will still be using your hearing and smell.

It's interesting to think about though.

Most of the cabbage will be water and fibers your gut can't process, whereas a Snickers bar is concentrated fat and sugar.

If you eat a 57 gram Snickers bar it is impossible to put on more than 57 grams of weight. I'm not really sure what you're looking for here.

>So while it's not currently real money, that's like saying that you having money in your bank account is not currently real money. True, it's not, but it could easily be.

​

No, not at all. It's actually like saying the wages for your scheduled hours next week aren't real; it's only when you work those hours do you actually make that money.

This is awesome.

If people hurt their heads badly enough, their mind will start to do weird things. This doesn't happen for other body parts.

Jews believe that the messiah is yet to come. Christians believe Jesus was the messiah. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet (but not the messiah) and that Muhammad was a "better" prophet. They all believe in a single creator-god and an eternal afterlife, however there's a lot of different groups that believe different things about how this works. Protestants e.g. believe that you go to heaven as long as you believe in Jesus. Catholics believe that you go hell unless you confess and atone for all your sins. There's dozens of sub-religions and cults in all religions who are more or less extreme than others.

Buddhism is more a philosophy than a religion but they believe that you're reborn over and over.

I have a full set I use at specific holidays.

I also have a random glass luncheon sized plate I use for most of my solo meals. Pottery breaks, glass breaks.
