A 12 hour fast is about my minimum, but I try to make it longer if I can. Seems to just depend on what I had for dinner the night before and bowel movements. I've tried eliminating snacking between meals, but settled on a beer and pist

>Blender would sometimes respond with offensive language, and at other times it would make up facts altogether. Just filter for offensive words/subjects? Can't be difficult to overcome.

Congress sets salaries and benefits for government positions, but most of those jobs are under the executive branch. So the president can't just increase the head of cybersecurity's salary to $1M, that has to be approved by Congre

Nutritionists vary on the following aspects, as the research isn't definitive, so I'm not going to give an opinion, just list the facts: the new meat alternatives have less protein, more sodium, more carbs, and more saturated fat.

In context, I meant the lazy soups we make always contain meat and still taste good. I can put like 4-5 ingredients in an instant pot and be done. Are there similar low effort meatless soups, without hunting down exotic spices? I love good

I hate when I go to Qdoba and the same bowl with Impossible meat is $9.99, while beef or chicken is $7.99. So now I have to pay more and eat less healthy?

We've been trying to cut our meat consumption, but the cooking complexity is exactly my issue. We're lazy but healthy eaters, meaning our regular entrees are a meat and a couple veggie sides. We also do low carb, mainly because it

That's why I said not required; it'd be an optional upgrade. And another comment mentioned it's already implemented on Spirit.

I fly in plenty of middle seats being a government employee. Nearly all of the window and aisle seats are booked by the time we schedule the trip, and we can't pay extra for premium economy. I'm an average size guy, 5'10, 170

Removing subsidies will produce more accurate education demand than the current situation. We have too many college graduates who are under-employed, and that's simply because we've subsidized and cheapened the quality of college

I've found it's actually better to list things for a small price than to try to give it away for free. When you list for free, tons of non-committed people contact you and it's too difficult to hold for someone who ends up fa

Yeah, it's really bad when insurance covers only 60% of even the insured!

The way I see it, either side's solution would be better than this mash-up of private insurance heavily encumbered by government regulations and subsidies. Single-payer would be much more efficient and cost-effective, while on the othe
