If you read the support article, you'll see that it mentions that it may not be able to get your heart rate if you have tattoos, not that you'll have to keep entering your PIN because it thinks you've taken it off your wrist.

No it is not proving anything, proving is not done by jumping loops. It could be that VR is simply a bad concept.

No you are still misunderstanding: if your goal is only weight loss it is only in vs out and you are wrong. Only if you want to be healthy or want to look good you start to look at what you eat. Eating less than you spend will always make you lose weight but maybe you will lose a lot of muscle as well.

And could be continue this diet for the rest of his life, you miss the bigger picture. Your long term weight is something you have to sustain by a long term change in diet, crashing a few kgs does not help if you can't avoid regaining the weight.

Being fat or not fat is not equivalent to being healthy.

As opposed to carbs you find in rice and vegetables for example ?

Are you saying that people didn't deduce gravity from experimentation on various substances/materials ?

I regard the threat to my privacy and civil liberty by criminals like Mark Rowley as much more significant than that posed by terrorists. Snowden didn't make companies add more encryption. Overreach by government agencies caused it. They're just trying to shoot the messenger but they created the problem by circumventing or ignoring the law.

Imprisonment is irreversible as well - you can't get your time back.

Do the math - bottled water doesn't even move the dial compared to agriculture. Total US consumption of bottle water per year = 10 billion gallons or about 31,000 acre feet. An acre-foot is about what one household uses per year, so it's the equivalent of a small city. In contrast, California uses 38 billion gallons a DAY. Stopping bottled water will not solve the water crisis. Alfalfa would certainly have a bigger impact.

I disagree with you, also a simple Google search would allow you to learn that you can obtain this behaviour by prefixing the obligatory words with '+'.

Consumerism is, at the moment, the only way for large and mature economies to survive. Your kind of hinted yourself at it without wanting to: why do you think Japan had issues as their economy matured to a developed country with aging population. Once you past the 'factory of the world' stage and you are a big economy you cannot live as an exception, you need to sustain your own growth.

You want more straws, man ?

Since you are trolling the trolls, should your program only work on your comments ?

Well, you could say that about Japanese as well, at least with regards to hiragana, the phonetic alphabet. Doesn't make the language a lot easier to learn, though.
