I know you are not arguing from bad faith, but you are making an assumption along cultural lines, which is a mistake of missing the forest through the trees. The vast majority of people (blanket statement, I know..) do not come from a cultu

The formal term is irony, because what they are presenting is actually a "Reductio ad absurdum", but they don't understand why their argument is absurd. If you want a case and point of this, imagine a comedian proposing this

So the data nerd in me is struggling with your framing a bit. HIIT for people with "aerobically poor systems" may resemble slow jogging or fast walking based on HR alone. Also outside of analyzing blood serum or glucose monitors,

That... doesn't sound like HIIT. HIIT shouldn't average out to anaerobic heart rate ranges, otherwise you really lose the benefit of keeping your heart engaged in aerobic ranges during the rests. And to be honest, HIIT used for re

[TW: SPOILERS] I don't understand how something like this can be critical, but 'conveniently' ignore fundamental conceits of the narrative that led the characters to the formation of the Dark Forest Hypothesis, such as the te

I would also encourage the use of the GNU Image Manipulation Program for raster style image editing. It's not as shiny or clean as AffinityPhoto, but it seems more powerful and has scripting as an option. Just a helpful suggestion of a

Try taking a look at high intensity resistance training. It's the weight lifting equivalent to high intensity interval training. It's very effective, and it's low impact relative to the amount of time spent exercising.

You are incorrect. There is a consensus among scientists who study this subject that /skeletal/ muscle mass is directly associated with bone density. There are specific arguments and disagreements about what exercise is most benef

Wet is a relationship between a surface and a liquid, based on the liquid's viscosity and adherence to the surface. Where this came from, and how the conversation got this far without this point being made... I don't know

This is a tangent, but snake oil was medicinally effective. The colloquialism "snake oil salesman" comes from the old scam of confidence men selling a cheap, adulterated (and sometimes drugged) mineral oil as snake oil (based on t

I don't think I've seen this described anywhere in an "official" anthropological sense, but given that we all seem to be aware of this in passing, it's nice to discuss terms for it. I have been using "digital s
