For creatine, while it is true that the supplement serves to help you push out an extra rep or two, I've literally never heard of anyone getting "overuse injuries" due to starting creatine. It's just a scare tactic on one of the best-studied supplements out there. Read up on it here: http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/
Seconding WorkFlowy. I started using it a couple months ago and haven't turned back since. I showed it to my (not very technologically savvy) wife, and she loves it too. It's great for sharing the mobile interface is nice, and I like how simple it is.
(sorry if this sounds like an advertisement but it's great to actually have a to-do list manager that I actually like)
1) When you turn your Kindle off, there will be a full-screen ad.
2) When browsing books at the main menu, a small horizontal bar across the bottom of the screen will display an ad. You only come to this screen by choice, though -- if you were in the middle of a book when turning off your Kindle, when you turn it back on it will go straight to where you were in the book without showing this menu.
Since they never interfere with reading, they are extremely non-intrusive. I think they are personalized but not positive.
>I've built an extremely useful service but only 1 in 100 was willing to pay, which is ridiculous to say.
To play devil's advocate, if only 1 in 100 people are willing to pay for your service, how useful can it really be? I'd think those 100 people are more qualified to judge how useful it is for them than the person who built the service.
>One feature I have wanted that would solve a frustration I have with Strava is the ability to quickly "prune" a ride [...] The app could even autodetect part you may want to prune by recognizing when your GPS coordinates remain relatively static for extended periods or time.
Strava does do this. If you look at a ride, note the difference between Elapsed Time and Time. Elapsed Time is the time you spent moving.
>Still, the average restaurant worker, at least around here, is very young, and by definition, unless you're going to an upscale restaurant, likely not getting much money.
Since when is the definition of a restaurant worker someone who does not make much money? Especially those not working fast food?
This happens quite frequently on reddit as well. I'd imagine it's due to the fact that the set of people who vote on a story are different than the set who vote on comments. For example, people could find a title appealing and upvote without actually reading the article or any of the comments. At the same time, the people who take the time to read the article (and corresponding comments) vote up the comments criticising the article. Since it takes relatively more time to read and understand an article, the knee-jerk reaction voters cause the story to be highly rated even though the top comment is critical.
It looks like maybe the submission is just poorly titled? If you click through to the article, it has the following title:
>No More Calls From Strangers: Amicus Uses Facebook To Recruit Political Volunteers
And then, as you note, the article is about political campaigns. I'm not sure why the submitter felt the need to submit an article and then change the headline.
Add me to the countless number of people who found their place on padmapper (just moved in last week!) and are thankful for its existence. It's a great service.
>And do you know what happens when you leave such natural milk on the table for a few days? It goes sour and turns to yogurt ... has a great taste and is really healthy
First, your post was very interesting -- thanks for taking the time to respond. However, I make yogurt from nonfat milk every week, so I'm not entirely sure how much to believe.
>And yes, the cardio days should probably be squash, heavy bag or football rather than the treadmill.
I'd rephrase this and say cardio days should be something you enjoy doing. Some people enjoy running on a treadmill. I don't understand how that's possible, but if you like running on the treadmill, more power to you.
On the other hand, if you hate running on the treadmill, don't force yourself to do it! Exercise is a lifelong commitment and doing something you dislike isn't sustainable. Find something fun and do it regularly.
