"nothing could touch Irix for ease of use"

Love my Fuel. Wish I could still use it as a dialy driver (too expensive to run electrically). Management really destroyed you guys, eh?


Amazing. My wife would never allow me though (my employer actually forbids digital cameras on campus so technically we're not allowed phones)


bury yourself in peat


Most of it from the air, but its not as clear cut as with weight loss (minerals, water, ect are from the soil).

I'm astonished for ignorant the doctors of the survey are!


During weight loss, the body wastes minerals and water as well! (not through the air)


Dont forget that you need to cool your body, so you sweat when you work out. Also, as you breathe harder, you'll loose more moisture through your lungs (the water activity of your whatever parts in the lungs being higher than that of dry air.)

If you were to exercise outdoors during a cold rain, you'll probably not loose any water at all.

But what do I know? I've never exercised in my life.


Except he had to accelerate to speed and back, so only our reference frame matters.


"Now some 13 inch models even accept video input, so you can potentially use it as a terminal / PDF screen."

Do you have a link/suggestions for a device? I've been wanting an eink monitor for text tasks for years (I'm not a gamer).


You might look at the discussions of the Boox devices on the mobileread forums https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=220

I've not gone through them recently but there are some things that sounded like that when I was on there a few months ago.


My uncle, a top professor at a top 10 US research university didn't have a phone until two years ago. He did fine. In fact, he attributes his significantly higher productivity to not having a phone.

Donald Knuth gave up email in 1990. Too distracting. (I dunno but I wouldn't think he has a cellphone)

When I started grad school in '07 I wanted to forgo a cellphone. I couldn't. My advisor was even annoyed I held out on a smartphone for as long as I did (caved in 2010).

In 2013, sick of my smartphone I went back to a dumbphone. It was great until 2015 when I started working at a place so crappy I have to routinely tether my phone for productive internet access.

My point: it's very possible to live w/out a cell phone. Frankly it's not even hard (I "forget" my phone at home). However, unless you're tenured or are otherwise your own boss, you'll be forced to have one.


The former CEO of google is bff with the clintons and was heavily involved with Obama's campaign. Good for him, I guess. But the previous administration did very little for internet privacy and rights.

Dont fool yourself that the problem is the "current" administration and the next administration from the "good guys" will solve everything.
