Go Low carb.

I had high blood glucose/prediabetes. Started Atkins (or as it is now known Atkins20) three months ago. Within a couple of days my Blood Glucose levels were in a normal range. (Still a bit high for a ketosis diet but normal.) My triglycerides and LDL levels dropped down to normal ranges, after three months. My HDL levels still need to go up, but working on those. I also dropped 4 inches off my waistline and 40 pounds. I feel like I have more energy and feel better in general.

Exercise probably also plays a part as I try to get in a couple of 10k step walks a week or ride the stationary bike for half an hour. I also do resistance lifting. They are latex surgical tubes with handles, and work pretty well. Woot has a couple of kits on sale if anyone is interested.

Follow a low carb/high fat diet. There are several plans, Atkins being the most famous.

I have an Asus ZenWatch. Below should be able to be done on any Android Wear device. In no particular order I use it for the following:

Check New Email
Check SMS
Check Caller ID
Check Weather
Check Calendar and Agenda
Check Google Now Cards (includes traffic card for my route home)
Check Other phone notifications
Dictate Notes
Check steps walked
Check Heart rate
Set Reminders
and Check the Time

Some Android Watches have a speaker in addition to the microphone so you answer and talk through your watch for phone calls. My watch can store music on the watch itself and play back through a paired BT headphones without my phone present. One could play games, but I do not see any point.
I am down to about 40% by Midnight most days. I do not see much issue with recharging it every day as I take it off every night and sticking in the charging cradle just means it is easy to find in the morning.

Android wear becomes really useful over other options if you enable Google Now. The latest generation of Android Wear watches actually look like a watch (Moto360, LG G Watch R, Asus ZenWatch). If those things do not matter, then get a Pebble or one of the high end Fitbits like a Charge or Surge, or a Nevo Watch ( http://igg.me/at/nevo/x/813785... ). The Nevo is a real watch, with basically a Fitbit Flex built in, and add in colored led notification lights. You will not be able to read an SMS or email on your Nevo, but you can tell the difference when your watch vibrates from a new notification.

Well, they have done some testing with jet packs: http://www.livescience.com/480...
Even with an increase in weigh the jetpack increases speed.

No, the more accurate analogy is going up to the bucket pig and dumping their bucket on them. Is it asshole behavior? Yes. Is it deserved? Yes.

A year ago I bought a Volt. In the month prior I did a bunch of research on electric cars. Six months later I was still getting ads on Leafs and Volts. Those ads seemed fairly pointless as I already owned a Volt. I find it happens a lot that I look for a certain product, then after I buy it, I will get ads for that product. Except for items that I buy regularly, then I never see an ad.

Google, when I buy a bathroom scale, I am no longer interested in hearing about bathrooms scales two weeks later. I buy tea regularly, why do I never see an ad for tea.

AC is full of crap. There is no sugar; sucralose is used for a sweetener. One could argue that sucralose and preservatives are toxic, but everything else is mostly vitamins, amino acids and caffeine. Seems to be a better option than chugging a soda or Red Bull.

Like the virus that attacked Iran's nuclear centrifuge?

Really? As Linux System Administrator, I like Red Hat. I despise Ubuntu, for instability. The LTS versions of Ubuntu have been problematic in my experience.

I do find CentOS to be easier to maintain, but usually get stuck trying to convince management to let us deploy.

It works. It just doesn't work officially.

Are you new here? Your ID would indicate otherwise, but your attitude seems incongruous.

I fully expect there to be postings about interesting Free Software products. (And something from the GNU project is definitely Free Software).

You do not need the skill to program. You just need the leverage to make someone who has the skills do it for you.

A programmer might be willing to do it for some large sum of money or to protect his family. Once it is done once, it becomes much easier to do a second time.
