I get major brain for on intermittent fasting. I have to spread out my protein and carbs over the day, so for me calorie restriction works best.

I'm specifically talking about when you're hungry and want to eat, but your calorie budget is very small. Obviously you should still be eating an appropriate amount of protein over the course of a day.

There are quite a few veggies that are low calorie, filling, and are tasty enough to snack on without dip. The ones I eat when I just want to feel full without a bunch of calories are carrots (45 cal/100g), cucumbers (14 cal/100g)

We definitely use a mix of US/UK spellings in Canada. This gets further reinforced when you work a lot with a particular spelling (eg. we use spell 'colour' with the 'u' but every graphics library / css /

Not necessarily. A roll of the dice is considered independent variables, however, a weather system year over year probably isnt an independent variable

They are easy enough to tell apart when you look at them full size on a desktop monitor. But when you have a couple google services open in different browser tabs, well now those very similar icons are pretty annoying to tell apart as 32x32

Is that for all lectures? In the engineering program at my university, attendance as only taken during labs as those have strict attendance requirements.

I'm not sure about if its possible, but in the context of where this plane is flying, there is only lightning once or twice per year.

I'm pretty sure this only affects protan(omaly/opia). The green and red cones along with the rods all play a roll in determining the brightness of any colour. When the red cone is shifted towards green, then all wavelengths to the

I really enjoyed Ursula Le Guin's scifi for those reasons. The technology in Le Guin's stories basically doesn't matter; her stories revolve around relationships and culture. As an example, a story that focuses on a 2 planet

I think a civilization could make a pretty good go at things without fossil fuels. The 2 big use cases for fossil fuel are the temperature of the heat itself (for things like smelting), but also how simple it is to make a steam engine with

Its a quick intro to computability theory. There is a progression of more and more complicated 'machines' on the way from Finite Automata towards Turing Machines. This article goes over what types of things each machine can and ca

I always think of Jim Carry in Bruce Almighty spelling out B-E-A-Utiful Surprisingly it helps with words that have that 'eau' mash of vowels.

From what I understand, a tetrachromat has (and expresses) the normal green cone, normal red cone, normal blue cone, as well as the cone associated with either protanomaly or deuteranomaly. With that in mind, it seems reasonable that there

You can. I used to work for an ISP and every WiFi access point I installed had Ethernet+DC over the same cat6 cable. Still got 100 megabit speeds

Just echoing this, (Canada) my optometrist caught my glaucoma early using that machine that shoots a burst of air at your eye. He referred me to an opthalmologist who said there isn't any damage yet but gave me a prescription for some

I think ratemyprofessors is a fairly decent online review system. Even without the scoring, just hearing peoples descriptions of how the prof teaches is quite beneficial

Yep, you are right - I was confusing the Square Kilometer Array for the Ice Cube neutrino detector. Heres a direct link to his tweet: https://twitter.com/Astro_Jamie/status/1070304980224172033

The author of the negative mass theory said that it will be testable via the cubic kilometer ice array in Antarctica when it comes online (though I'm not sure how). He mentions it in his chain of 17 tweets that summarize the theory .

Sounds a little reminiscent of General Fusions piston design: http://generalfusion.com/subsystems-fusion-energy-technology... The essence: A sphere with an array of pistons compresses a central point.

I've often described colour blindness as an optical illusion, and that confetti illusion is exactly what I have in mind. Peanut better has a green lid and green label which makes the slightly ambiguous brown look green. Or the walk sym

This is neat but there is something quite wrong with the protanomaly/protanopia simulation. Look how it effects blue: normal: https://i.imgur.com/icgmrI6.png protanopia simulation: https://i.imgur.com/3

I'm still on Android 6.1 so maybe Google has fixed it since then but the Protanomaly simulation is extremely wrong
