Escaped Killer caught after 41 years -- (link) - amoxy Sep 27, 13:59 1
- Yes. -- nm - Stephen Sep 27, 14:01
I hate working out for 45 minutes, coming home and realizing a coke would almost match all the calories I just burned. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:47 48
- working out increases metabolizm for the rest of the day, a fit body uses more calores than a couch potato -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 27, 14:03
- Run faster. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:53
- yeah but it's different kinds of calories. besides drink coke zero -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:53 23
  - can of coke zero: 0 calories. can of Barqs rootbeer: 160 calories. Bottle of pepsi: 110 calories. - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:54 7
    - Servings per Bottle --- 2.5; Calories 250 -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:57
    - uh, more like 250 calories. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:55 5
      - oh, right, math. "Per 250mL" :) ... the ratio changes per product label. Bah! It should be standardized! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:57 2
        
        that's what the "serving size" is for. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58 1
        
        but the cans measure at 355mL. See my point? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:59
      - but because it's canadian it's made with better stuff -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:57
      - (Canadian calories) -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 13:56
  - All diet drinks taste like poison to me. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:54 14
    - ah...fair enough. how about a sports drink? power or gatorade? -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:56 13
      - I can drink orange gatorade, but I vastly prefer coke, mountain dew, milk and water to all other beverages. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:57 8
        
        then you should be drinking milk after a workout, you need to replenish vitamins and other crap you lost during the workout. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:58 7
        
        that's a bad choice. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 13:59 6
        
        Well done. -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 14:00
        
        it's better than a soda. Going from his list of what he'd drink isn't that best choice? -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:00 4
        
        Someone kills you with a trident at the end of this discussion. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 14:00
        
        water, and a light snack. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:00
        
        (Anchorman) -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 14:00 1
        
        ah! -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:07
      - If I'm going to drink calories, I'm having a soda not a crappy lemon-line Gatorade. - ty97 Sep 27, 13:57 3
        
        they make other flavors! After a workout I generally have a protein drink of some sort. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:58 2
        
        this is supposed to be better than eating sugar after a workout. but I do'nt remember why. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58
        
        Are you my roommate? That's his daily routine: Gym, followed by protein shake. -- nm - ty97 Sep 27, 13:58

  - The bottle says 200 calories. The treadmill said 345. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:50 20
    - [deleted] 18
      - 20 oz -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 13:53 1
        
        exactly, he said bottle, not can -- nm - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:56
      - sugary drinks are fattening America. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:52 15
        
        nope. non exercise is fattening America. -- nm - CQ Sep 27, 14:02 1
        
        the french do not exercise ... ever. but they are skinny. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:03
        
        *chugs a carton of OJ* -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:56
        
        Looking at the menus at restaurants, I think we're unfairly blaming the sugary drinks. - ty97 Sep 27, 13:56 11
        
        oh, it's the sugar in everything. but drinks are the easiest way to overconsume sugar. it's completely unnecessary for your drink to be sweetened. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:58 9
        
        Nonsense. - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:58 8
        
        agree...99% of all drinks need some flavor to it. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:59 4
        
        that's a mental thing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:59 3
        
        And if ST has an expert on being mental, it's loosi. - ty97 Sep 27, 14:00 1
        
        I learned not to like sugary drinks. - loosilu Sep 27, 14:01
        
        taste thing. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:00
        
        taste is learned. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:59 2
        
        Well, if I had a time machine....I can assure you that I'm not going back in time to learn how to drink unsweetened tea. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 14:00
        
        "Here, taste this." -- nm - One Cup Sep 27, 13:59
        
        it's not the sugary drinks. it's the sugar in *everything* -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:57
    - the treadmill readings don't really mean anytyhing. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:51

Tangent: When did NASA and space stop being cool? -- nm - Capstern (26 Days) Sep 27, 13:34 20
- When missions became a 3 or 4 times a year thing. -- nm - TWuG Sep 27, 13:48
- When there wasn't any incentive to beat the Soviets. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 27, 13:44 2
  - this. and the fact we didn't ahve the tech to do anything further at that point that was glamourous. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 13:57
  - This, I think, is closest. -- nm - nubby Sep 27, 13:51
- When the Borg arrived. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:44
- When we landed a man on the moon. -- nm - ty97 Sep 27, 13:38 3
  - When the moon landed on us. -- nm - Denzel "Buzz" Washington Sep 27, 13:41
  - When we stopped going to the moon. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 13:39 1
    - . . . or did we? -- nm - moles Sep 27, 13:40
- Challenger explosion. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:36 10
  - I know that was a horrible tragedy - remember being in HS library and seeing it. Just sad that something that was so fascinating as a kid is just so - Capstern (26 Days) Sep 27, 13:41 9
    - Honestly, I think what happened is that NASA used to be on the cutting edge, then after the shuttle was built, NASA stood still. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:42 8
      - Lack of mission and goal. In the 60s, it was 'beat the dirty commies to the Moon'. We did. Then what? - ty97 Sep 27, 13:54 1
        
        this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:56
      - It kind of descended into bureaucracy. I think I'd actually blame the 2.5 delay after Challenger more than the explosion itself. - Ender Sep 27, 13:47 3
        
        Such a bummer- space was just so cool growing up -- nm - Capstern (26 Days) Sep 27, 13:50 1
        
        When I finally visited Cape Canaveral, it was a shock to find out that all those fancy control panels were pressboard with christmas lights. - loosilu Sep 27, 13:51
        
        "2.5 *year* delay" -- nm - Ender Sep 27, 13:48
      - they had no clear mission, but were still expected to put humans in space to justify their existence. on a far more limited budget than Apollo -- nm - moles Sep 27, 13:45
      - That I can see. I mean the mars rover was sorta cool but I wonder where they should go next -- nm - Capstern (26 Days) Sep 27, 13:43
NASA figured out where the satellite fell! spoilers inside. - loosilu Sep 27, 13:28 3

Lee Unkrich, director of Pixar's creative team, started a blog for posting a photo a day of the next unidentified Pixar movie -- (link) - oblique Sep 27, 13:15 1
- Coincidence that the portion of the keyboard he photographed included S, E, and X?!?!?! -- nm - nubby Sep 27, 13:46
and while it's not as egregious as the one I posted last week, why would you put a photo of the cul-de-sac in the slideshow? -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:13 10
- cul-de-sacs are often a selling point, afaik -- nm - kare Sep 27, 13:15 8
  - It's one of the few things I wish our house had -- nm - oblique Sep 27, 13:16 7

Re state department warning: It takes quite a lot for State to give an official warning. Check out the county report, they will give details - loosilu Sep 27, 13:07 6
- Calling the State Dept. "State" makes you sound like a big shot -- nm - con_carne Sep 27, 13:38 1
  - it's a lot shorter to type, too. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 13:42
