  • It doesn't make sense to me. With the economy of scale, eating out should be more sustainable than cooking at home, but somehow it isn't.

    My best guess is that it's an issue of everyone expecting variety and a kitchen that operates all day. If you make a huge batch of food and serve the same thing to everyone at the same time every day, that should be way cheaper than cooking at home.

  • the joke is about the Finnish language having funny homonyms.

    I don't understand what you're trying to say by giving me an example of a joke in Finnish.

    It's not usual to make such jokes with words that are actual cognates.

    Part of what makes jokes funny is the unexpected nature of it, and the first interpretation you typically think of is the literal translation. It would just sound like someone legitimately trying to communicate while mixing up their languages.

  • Well, you certainly have an impressive stomach. I'm full after three sausages (~600 Calories), and you're here eating at least three times as much.

    Calories aren't the ultimate metric, but it is the foundation. If you don't eat enough Calories, you simply don't have the energy to be functional. There's no way around that. There's little point in trying to optimize everything else when you don't have the foundation.

  • You don't have to go to failure for gains.

    You don't. This article is about saving time, not things you have to do to make gains. You can compensate for doing fewer sets and lower frequency by going closer to failure. It may not be ideal, but neither is only having an hour per week to workout. You do what you can given what you have.

    missing warmup

    Huh? The article says "put all Wolf's advice together, along with a good warmup".

    How do you squat and others only with dumbbells?

    Either have untrained legs, or don't do it with DBs. If you need to do barbell squats, you just have to accept that it'll take longer.

  • One meal per day on a carnivore diet? What do you eat that allows you to consume that much meat in one sitting? Or do you just happen to have very low caloric needs? Even with carbs, I can only manage 1000 Calories per meal if I force feed myself.

  • What people do in that case is look at pictures of people with various hairstyles online, trying to find one where they feel like “this looks good, I want to try that one”

    I don't know what problems OP is facing, but in my case, this is basically what the hairdresser recommended that I do and also what I tried doing. Except it didn't help because nothing was appealing to me (I'm rather change adverse). I really needed to maintain a particular style for a while to get used to it before I could decide if I liked it or not. After that time has passed, I couldn't tell if I disliked it because it was grown out too much or if I just didn't like that cut, or if it was some other reason.

  • I should have added “Scientific consensus”

    I don't think that changes anything. For example, I'm not a nutrition expert, but it's an area I'm very interested in and I consider myself reasonably well read on the subject. I still have no idea what the scientific consensus is on anything in the field, especially when so many papers end with "we know jack shit about this, but at least this study moves us forward a little bit".

    If you don’t have knowledge, and don’t know where to start, then it’s not your place to convince someone else

    I'm talking about areas in which I do have the knowledge. It's not a reasonable expectation for someone else to go through the same process that I did to gain all that knowledge. I can scream "CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL BECAUSE LOOK AT THESE EXPERTS" as much as I want, but the other party will still have no way to verify my claims, or that these experts are actual experts and not some cherry-picked scientists.

  • This is kind of a tautological answer. Of course it's as often as I want, but what do I want? I had that question when I started making my own decisions on my hair. I was never fully happy with how things looked and haven't figured out how to style it the way I like. What part of it was I unhappy with? I couldn't tell. Would more frequent hair cuts help? Or less frequent so it spends more time in that slightly grown out state and I have more consistent hair to work with? And so many other questions.

    If you know that most people get their hair cut after X weeks, then that gives you a starting point to experiment with instead of going into it completely blind.
