How many miles would you need to ride a bike before you considered it actual exercise? - TFox Nov 1, 14:16 24
- 10-15 miles -- nm - CQ Nov 1, 14:26
- 30 min of exercise that causes you to sweat will help reduce cardiovascular problems. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 1, 14:19 8
  - Look, everyone. Pretty soon we will have ourselves an honest to goodness STdoctor! - con_carne Nov 1, 14:26 3

  - maybe if I had walked to work today, my right shoulder blade wouldn't be pressing into my spine ... - Beryllium Nov 1, 14:20 3
    - PS: the lecturer just said that Beryllium is a cause of granulomatous lung diseases. You BAD! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 1, 14:22 2
      - that might be why he can't run a whole mile -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 1, 14:23

- at least 5 miles. -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 14:17
- its all about heart rate, start by walking around the block, riding around the block, then riding further -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 1, 14:17
- It partly depends how much effort you put into it. Also, I tend to go by the clock rather than by miles. - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:17 10
  - note: I think 30 minutes would count, but 45 is my preference. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:18
  - I do about 12 miles in an hour. -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 14:17 8
    - on a real bike or stationary? -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:18 7
      - stationary. Doing a heart rate program -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 14:19 6
        
        the miles don't translate directly, I don't think. I would go by time and perceived effort. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:19 5
        
        actually it's a odometer on my bike. All the exercise machines do..... -- nm - Starfleet Temporal Agent Dulmar Nov 1, 14:24 4
        
        calorometers on those things lie. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 14:32
        
        I understand that, but the bike is not actually moving. - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:27 2
        
        well it is different in the fact that is isn't outside and you're right there is no turning... - Remlik Nov 1, 14:31 1
        
        I know it is hard, I have done both. - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:35

so, I forget if I mentioned that we have an accepted offer on our condo. So the townhouse deal may work out after all :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 1, 13:51 5

- I wonder how many Tea Partiers realize that Jesus spoke a version of Arabic? -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:51 16
  - and a semite -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 14:15
  - That's not exactly true...Arabic is a version (offshoot) of Aramaic, not the other way around. -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 13:59 7
    - close enough for the purposes of my agenda! -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 14:09

        You mean Jesus wern't an 'merican? -- nm - amoxy Nov 1, 14:05 1
        
        seriously, next they'll be trying to tell us he was *Jewish* -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 14:06
  - Jesus was a Muslim??!? -- nm - amoxy Nov 1, 13:54 6
    - He was also a "brown" man as Aasif Mandvi delights in reminding teabaggers. - Trish Nov 1, 14:08
    - he was a bearded, dark skinned Middle Eastern type! -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:58 2

  - Up and down lots of hills. -- nm - Loyola Nov 1, 13:44

  - No, Goldfinger, I want Mr. Bond to surprise you in your lair. -- nm - David Nov 1, 13:43 6
    - read that as: "Surprise you in your hair". -- nm - Remlik Nov 1, 13:43 5
      - The meme is "pants", dude. -- nm - David Nov 1, 13:44 4

if there's one thing I never understood about HSX, it was the 50K share limit. - Beryllium Nov 1, 13:34 12
- I'm up over $5mil and haven't done anything. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 13:48 1
  - I've spent over $200 million so far. -- nm - pmb Nov 1, 14:12
- We play the real stock market so we can one day quit and never have to play the market again. HSX wants you to never quit. - con_carne Nov 1, 13:47
- how about if you want more, then you have to make a play for all shares -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:47
- They used to use the idea there were a million shares or whatnot and since 5% of shares is the threshold of discloser...50k worked as a nice rouund #. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 13:44
- I wonder how many sleepness nights they had arriving at the 75k figure. If you're going to go 75, you might as well go 100k. -- nm - Loyola Nov 1, 13:40 1
  - One, meeellion, shares. -- nm - Dr Evil Nov 1, 13:41
- One high-value port putting all their cash into one stock could severely influence the price. With the new lower price change it will be - MojaveMeg Nov 1, 13:38
- Yeah that, but with no max number of shares on the exchange? -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:38 3
  - this is what I mean. If it were a true exchange, each film would have X number of outstanding shares the users could play with. - Beryllium Nov 1, 13:40 2
    - There were a couple of competitors to HSX that operated as an exchange. They never got enough active players to really work. -- nm - Dano Nov 1, 13:43
    - Yeah, and they should let us use real money to invest in the films. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:43

- You must have a couple from my dept. in there then. nm - Jovian Nov 1, 13:37
- That's a lot of friction. -- nm - TWuG Nov 1, 13:37
I love the Walking Dead numbers from last night (link) - Jovian Nov 1, 13:34 1
- Excellent. Will be curious to see how it holds for ep 2. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 1, 13:45
ML --- Yeah, and just think, if these guys are playing it conservative with estimate.....oof. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 13:32 2

  - Course, I'm a big fan of if you quit like she'll likely do....there should be a penalty. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 13:36
Loosi, "Most countries to have Missions at the United Nations while their Embassies are located in Washington, DC. Many also have separate consulates" -- (link) - zork Nov 1, 13:32 17
- ahhhhhh, Missions. That's what I was thinking of. thanks. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:32 16
  - and the top 20 embassic cities - zork Nov 1, 13:33 15
    - I never would have guessed Cairo was that high. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:34 14
      - Thinking about it, Egypt is both one of the most important African countries and one of the most important Arab ones. - Roger More Nov 1, 14:20
      - I did :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 1, 13:37 12
        
        I thought of it as definitely a top 20. -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:43 11
        
        I thought of it as a top 10. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:44 10
        
        *looks back at B2* No, you didn't -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:48 2
        
        "I *thought* of it as a top 10. -- nm" -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:50 1
        
        *pats Spawn's head* Sure you did. -- nm - zork Nov 1, 14:09
        
        I thought of Cairo because it's one of the great old world capitols -- nm - peglegpete Nov 1, 13:47 6
        
        yep. especially since there was a big English presence when many would have been set up. -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:49
        
        so is Venice. :) -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:48 4
        
        yes, but Venice became vastly eclipsed by Rome after the Roman Empire became Christianized in the 400's -- nm - peglegpete Nov 1, 13:50 1
        
        plus all those separate city-states became one country -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:56
        
        but that's no longer a capital city -- nm - zork Nov 1, 13:50 1
        
        true. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 13:50
[deleted] 2
- well, in their defense, they've come to expect that people with those signs can't spell -- nm - Guy Nov 1, 13:35 1
  - *snort* -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 13:43
Spawn: There was a bit convo on this a week or so ago. Williams is an unknown in the US. -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 13:31 5
- I don't follow the pop music season, and I know who he is. -- nm - Stephen Nov 1, 13:44
- Hmm. His cover of Under The Sea on the Finding Nemo soundtrack turned a good number of poeple on to him. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:33 3
  - Angels got a lot of play as well about 10 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 13:43
  - His only song that got any real play in the US was "Millenium" from "The Ego Has Landed" - MDH Nov 1, 13:37 1
    - Oh, I know. - Spawn Nov 1, 13:39
now im sort of wishing the Niners hadn't won this Sunday - Guy Nov 1, 13:29 1
- Yeah, cause having a prima donna WR on our team worked so well the last time... - Stephen Nov 1, 14:17
~ a spoonful of caffeine makes your fucking heart explode ~ - The Walking Vermin Nov 1, 13:28 1
- Damn your IM. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 13:29
Reach: I went through the entire game a week or two ago on Heroic, yet I just noticed I did not get credit for mission 5. - Spawn Nov 1, 13:28 1
