Your fat is stored energy, and energy is measured in calories. So say you want to loose 10lbs, you have to burn 10 lbs worth of calories more than you take in (a little more to it than that, but that's the high level). Each lb of fat has about 3500 calories, so to loses 10lbs, you have to burn about 35000 calories more than you consume. The good news is you burn about 2000 just being alive every day. So if you exercise you burn even more, watch what you eat...and you can pretty easily create a 500 or 1000 calorie per day gap.

Most Christmas traditions are based in Pagan roots. Yule logs, holly, mistle toe, feasts, winter solstice... nothing to do with jc, and everything to do with super old school traditions.,

It has 2 meanings. The first is literal, meaning they don't really love it or like it but they could get used to it over time.

The current meaning is a sarcastic variation. When something is amazing that someone tries or sees for the first time, they can sarcastically say " I could get used to this."

Similar to saying "it's OK..." when you try or do something thing awesome.

They are both fables.

Magic guys living in a place you can't see. Judging your good and bad deeds. Rewarding or punishing you.

Time to move past the fairy tales.

Why is believing in Santa considered childish, but believing in Jesus is not?

For heat - humidity makes your body's cool mechanism suck. In Arizona (low humidity), it's hot. You sweat, it evaporates, and you feel cooler. You do the same in say Thailand (humid), it's hot, you sweat, and it can't evaporate as much because of the humid air. Your body doesn't cool as well. It sweats more. You feel wet uncomfortable and hot.

I have hiked a mountain in Arizona in 105, and ended with a dry shirt/hair. It was hot, but not terrible. I've run 1 mile in 85 degrees and 90 percent humidity and sweat through my shirt and been muh "hotter" and more uncomfortable.

Real curves adjust the grades to fit the mathematic bell curve standard distribution.

Most teachers "curve" just by adding points so that the highest score is a 100. If the class takes a test, highest score is a 97, the curve is 3 points added to everyone's scores.

As others have noted, they don't really go anywhere, but they are at risk of being damaged or destroyed. It works something like this-

You save a photo to your computer. Your computer saves the string of 1s and 0s in a specific location(s). So lets say it saves photo 1 to a space it calls A1 through A10 (simplified for ELI5). Two things happen- When you tell you computer you want to see the picture, it reads what is in space A1 to A10 on the drive. Also, it knows NOT to write anything else in those spaces, because if they do, it will corrupt the photo.

When you delete it, it removes it from the "table contents" , and now these 2 things happen- If you look for the file, you can't find it, because it's not in the table. Further, now any other program sees no restrictions to write to A1 to A10.

So there is a chance 1 year later you can still restore that file if the computer didn't write over any part of it, but there is also a chance that it will be corrupted because parts or all of the file have been overwritten.
