Well, except for the fact that I was relying on it, and those services weren't fully developed when they did drop them, yeah it was an easy replacement.

Business changes are never 'easy'.

Which would be 'a terminal, but on a computer'.

Ditto for my wife's business.

Square & FreshBooks saved her bacon. Happy to pay ~$50 + $30 per month for reliable products.

They have to be smart enough to jailbreak, point to an alternative app store, and install a corrupted app.

Or be dumb enough to hand it to a smart friend who can do this.

He probably didn't care. He probably got paid well.

Not just the knowing, but how important it is for productivity.

Send this to your HR person.

The complaint is literally "they got cheaper gas" probably because they were big customers & looking for a place to live long term.

It's exactly like typical business negotiations.

Oh, and the cheaper gas was roughly 1% of this deal.

In other words, Consumer Watchdog is a whiny fucking bitch.

So if I burn 1000 calories via each method of exercise, you're saying I'll get more calories burned out of one over the other? Or 1000>1000?

Because that's what you just said.

1000 calories burned is 1000 calories burned, whether you're sprinting or sleeping.

The entire point is that 100% of the calories in are counted, but 0% of the calories out via waste are counted; only calories by energy expenditure are counted. I'm not sure we really even know what range % of calories via waste might be in. If it's ~5%, no big deal. If it's ~25%, big deal. Does it depend on what you eat, in what order, whether you drink while eating, etc?

water has zero calories so doesn't enter into weight mgmt calculations.

Not in the calculations used in current weight mgmt.

Which is my exact point.

And this study basically just touches on digestive efficiency.

Ironically, skinny people probably have less efficient digestive systems.

You do realize that the calories out part of calorie counting depends massively on your metabolism+exercise, right?

Wow. Just Wow.

Let me guess. You think:

burning off 1000 calories by running >> burning off 1000 calories by walking.
