i'm going to suggest http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/ and http://www.reddit.com/r/Paleo/, the way the majority of Redditors are successfully losing weight/saying healthy.
What I do is my mom gives me $250 a month for food, and I order grass-fed pet food (ground beef and organ meats mixed together), and beef fat which i render from a farm in texas (slankers). I cook a lot of meat 1-2 times a week, the rest stays frozen.
In addition I eat olive oil, butter, coconut milk, unsweetened chocolate, and cheap vegetables, which i steam. I put lots of spices on everything which makes everything taste very nice. also i eat a bit of fruit and fish.
if you can get in ketosis and stay there that's probably the easiest way to lose the weight (of course people do having varying results, some of which is explained by individuals' variant of the Apo4 gene). but trying it for a month wouldn't kill you. and hopefully your family would be accepting of you eating that way for a period.

that's a good way to explain the difference. I'm not completely sold though..
i want to add that watching that video when i did for the first time was very depressing to me. the situation seems very wrong and sad. they are a broken family in a broken society.

mm the SAT would have been good. I'm a bit surprised most colleges (universities?) in Canada don't require some sort of standardized test. In the U.S nearly every 4-year college requires either the ACT or SAT (though there are exceptions).
-
I like him much more in his comments than I did in the video. almost seems like they are different people (maybe he is getting assistance with the writing??)
-
the tests you take for college should give you a good idea of where you are. at least the ones in the U.S they have high ceilings, which allows differentiation within the top 1% (of course if you studied for it excessively than it might overestimate your intelligence).
-
^ mm i heard about that. for some reason i have a pretty strong aversion to comic books, though.

You said something about a child being obsessive compulsive and thus taking longer to answer questions. This is a negative trait and would hinder the output of his knowledge/wisdom and effect his intelligence.
why are you so sure it's a universally negative trait? in school and everything speed is valued and mistakes are okay and encouraged - but in many parts of the real world it is important to get things right the first time, and that takes contemplation and people who don't jump to conclusions too fast.

i miss aang.

it only took till the fourth post for someone mentioned their IQ!
A friend can be a competitive gamer, for example, and he'll teach me how to play and within a week or two I'll be giving him a run for his money.^ i vote this as the best way in which a high IQ is helpful :).
-
I will most likely watch it too :). I followed avatar the last air bender with my friends years ago and it was really fun, and korra sounds like it'll be more enjoyable for an older audience than a:tla was.
I hope it isn't too modernized though.

i'm pretty sold on their utility. society is much better off with them than without them I think. the only thing that worries me a bit are the phycological sacrifices that are made to obtain the information (the SAT is practically an IQ test, and it causes many kids lots of stress and bad feelings and so on, which, if possible, i wish could be avoided). But there is no way to segregate people nicely.
of course they could be better and everything, perhaps computerized like you suggested to avoid certain problems - and in fact the tests for graduate school are - but all in all those kinds of changes seem like minor improvements. I feel like we're already probably at the point of diminishing returns, where putting in more effort to achieve more reliable results and distinctions of finer variations might not be practical.

hmm that's interesting. i used the special ~10 times about ~1 year ago and i think i would have noticed if I was hitting my max each time.
-
I think it's most underrated in the sense that so people use a whip over it at metals.
-
I pay more attention to my rabbit.
-
Soa is really no good at lower levels either though. somewhere around 90 magic with appropriate gear and boosts polypore or earth surge might be worth using to train magic on slayer tasks.
-
it pains me to see rs promoted like this. have fun interfacing with a simulated, fictional landscape.

disabling my pin. i lost 2.5b recently..

torva helm is 147 med i think. and i was flipping in the range of 158-161. they are still up there somewhere.
torva plate is 317 and it went up to 340 but it down to 325 or so now.
torva legs i am not sure about - they are 254 in ge, at one point were in the 280's, now down from that.
So I guess about a +10% increase or so.
-
it hasn't moved around more than is typical n today or yesterday (in fact yesterday it was under med). what did change was torva.

Out of all the things there are to legitimately understand I've chosen to legitimately understand what is called Runescape.

^ sound advice.
yeah, I think i'm going to save them for now and avoid combat.
-
This is a question that many of us must be asking ourselves..
Should mine go to mining (lv 79), agility (82), runecrafting (77) or slayer (97).
if the drop rate turns out to be terribly decreased then i might just save them.
-
umm I'm just wondering how reduced is reduced. .

mm ive had a rather dry day too (1 effigy in 11 bunyips). but during the previous days i was getting 1 effigy per bunyip.

Who else finds the utterance "kony" unpleasant ?
The type of people who "respond" to the video are probably people searching for a cause, any cause, to throw themselves behind, I think.
