Reply to comment by humvee911 in LPT: A good financial habit to get into is treating money as hours of work. Ask yourself how many hours of work something would take if you buy it. The awareness of the amount of time you put into purchases helps reduce compulsive spending. by humvee911
After you are done, make sure to read "I will teach you to be rich." Vicky Robin is great, but usually it's not the coffee that's keeping you from being rich

Reply to comment by Dannyzavage in Intermittent Fasting significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP), but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The effects are likely due to weight loss. by glawgii
It just means that there should be some studies comparing IF to weight loss without IF.
The studies in the meta analysis only had a control group that ate normally but a losing weight group (like calorie deficit).
Then we can see if it's just weight loss or if IF is improves more blood pressure than weight loss alone.
Also, it says that there was no improvement in lipid levels or heart rate.
Also, "(1) the participants included mostly adults with metabolic diseases such as obesity."
So the benefit for overweight or normal weight people might be small or non-existent.

Like a cramp in your stomach, but the most intense cramp. I mostly had back pain, so it was like when back hurts but worse. Also it comes and goes. I think back labor would have been easier but I couldn't walk around much because I was induced so they needed me on monitors
If you are a lady, it's period cramps (uterus does have contraction for period). Contractions vary in labor, so the medium contractions were like bad period cramps.

Reply to LPT: If you are feeling lonely this holiday season, consider volunteering for an organization that helps your fellow humans (or unfortunate animals). If at first you don't like it, try a different organization. It may take a few tries to find out what truly feels good. by ilovemybaldhead
Also recommend animal shelters. They are usually closed but animals still need cuddlers

Reply to comment by gibbigabs in Eight weeks of mindfulness training improves adolescents’ attentional control, study finds by chrisdh79
If it's not as effective, then I doubt it will always be preferred.
Also, I didn't say that they needed to be medical intervention. They can just be other behavior techniques.
It still should be studied either way. If mediation is better or the same, then that's great, but if it's not, then we also need to know that too.

It is good against the control group. But I would like to see it against other methods for attention control. Whether that's through drugs or another technique. It is good that its better than relaxation training (the control), but it does not show if it's better than other techniques.

Reply to ELI5 why does taking a multi-vitamin on an empty stomach cause nausea, but something like Tylenol doesn’t? by sftysw
Does your mutli-vitamin have iron? Iron can be the reason. I had to switch my prenatal vitamin to before bed during first trimester

Reply to comment by kenhutson in ELI5: Why does it seem to be harder for women to control their bladders? by RandomKidIsMe
There are two sphincters in the urethra one where the urethra leaves the bladder and one at the pelvic floor. The first one is under involuntary control the second one is voluntary control.
It is silly to say that men's pelvic floor isn't connected. However the pelvic floor does weaken after giving birth

It is, but people who drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day aren't less dehydrated than people who don't drink that much.

Hfcs and sucrose would not be used for diet sodas. Hfcs and sucrose both include fructose and glucose but sucrose includes a chemical bond that joins the fructose and glucose and hfcs doesn't include the bond.

Yes, I think that fits better than it impeding women's ability to walk/run.

But it's only the average because human babies don't have skulls that are 40% of adult skull (which chimps have). If humans were born with that big of skull then women with wider hips would have been selected for and women with narrow hips would have been filtered out

That was the idea, but it doesn't pan out when you look at the evidence. Some women can already accommodate that size skull. So if babies were born with a 3 month olds skull, then the selective pressure would be for wider hips.
Because of women with wider hips, we know that their walking/running isn't impeded with wider hips.

Actually, humans have the second longest gestation than other great apes adjusted for size.
The skull size ratio for baby humans is 30% of adult size. For chimps, it's 40% of adult size. So, for humans, that would be about the size at 3 months. There are already women who have hip width that can accommodate that.
Additionally, when studying the gait, wider hips do not make women worse walkers/runners.
So it's probably not that babies came out to accommodate women, but that started being born early for another reason and women's hips width is that size because of baby

You need to work backward from your goal. The general rule of thumb is 80% pre retirement income.
So, let's say you need 56,000 a year. Multiple that by 25 you will need 1.4 million. Now, look for a future value calculator online (or you can look up how to do formula on excel). Plug in goal and see how much you need to save yearly. If you are over that amount, then you will have more in retirement, or you will be able to retire early. If you are under, then you need to save more or retire later.
You might also run multiple by 30 or 33 if you want to be conservative.
Finally, if you're thinking, "I'm going to make more than $70k when I retire." You are probably correct. The way to deal with this is that every time you get a non-cost of living raise, you need to save half of the raise. Doing this means you are saving for your lifestyle creep. You don't need to save cost-of-living raises, but you can if you want.
