This study is interesting, but as it notes, most certainly needs further investigation. BMI is not the greatest metric to determine health, and I'm not surprised that those who are carrying some weight will be better over on a number of health markers.

Current self checkouts are generally by an exit, with an employee monitoring the area. This gave me impression you could check out in the middle of the store.

In the video, it states that you can complete a transaction and be free to leave the store from the cart. How are they going to prevent theft? I can easily jam something in my pocket or bag on the way out.

And the Kung Pow Cow will be imbued with the Prime Program, giving him the ability to freely manipulate the simulated reality of the mootrix !

BEECAAAUUSE we will eventually find a Space Jesus in another civilization!
The aliens that we discover will be worshiping their own Jesus, one who is older than ours - this will cause a schism between Earth Jesus followers, but many remain faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ. Another several thousands of years pass by when encounter YET ANOTHER civilization, one who worships, what we quickly came to call him as, Space Jesus #3, who bares an uncanny resemblance to the Space Jesus' 1 and 2.. also with Krishna, Mithra and Horus (thanks Bill Maher!) but we're talking about Jesus, here.

Some time later, we've come to discover over 200 Space Jesus' in our own Milky Way. After millennia of toil, the most recent Space Jesus lived within the SAME EXACT time period that Earth Jesus was being engorged for sins. This debunked the claim by the New Space Jesus Order that all Space Jesus, including Earth Jesus, were in fact the same Jesus, wiping out sin from the galaxy like an inverted Santa Claus. The remaining true believers of Earth Jesus, a blip compared to their former breadth of influence, are flabbergasted and are mocked by the majority.

However, the remaining followers, berated and on the cusp, regularly resort to violence to prove everyone else wrong. IN THE NAME OF EARTH JESUS!

Wait, did I say religion was gonna end? ..nuh-uh

What does camel meat taste like?

Haha, fair enough, I was just trying to be informative about a misunderstanding that was propagating in several comments on this story while also giving some info on exercise. Better education ftw, more proper rather than colloquial use of words would be nice x.x

Check out the wiki on muscle tone, which is more in line with what you're talking about but not what people generally talk about when they say "toning". Colloquially it is generally used to indicate exercise that improves the appearance of your muscle, which is what I was referring to.

What I have always seen it boil down to is the fact that he lies. Not all the time, maybe not even most of the time. But on numerous occasions, he has outright lied or deliberately misconstrued the facts in a malicious fashion. I view this as problematic because there are viewers of his show who take everything he says to be true, and base some of their opinions on outright lies.

There is no such thing as "toning"; looking toned is simply displaying the muscle you have at a given fat level. It is harder for females to gain muscle mass for the reasons that you stated(i.e hormonal), but it doesn't change the fact that the same methods are followed, and the rate of strength adaptation follows a similar curve.

Most people, even the slim looking cardio "gym rat " females, could benefit from gaining some extra muscle mass. At the very least progression through novice levels of strength adaptation (which results in a corresponding gain in mass) is something everyone should strive to achieve. You look better, you're stronger, you feel better and you're healthier. Perhaps more relevant to this story, having more lean body mass means that your basal metabolic rate is higher and you burn more calories just by carrying the muscle than you would without.

Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore have written extensively on this subject, and reading anything by them is extremely valuable in understanding strength training and it's benefits. I highly recommend Starting Strength (author's website here though some preliminary information sans physiological elaborations can be found on a user made wiki here) for everyone to read. It covers the physiological basis of strength training and a very straightforward way to approach it.

The U.S isn't a sentient entity. It is a country made up of various individuals, and as has been evidenced throughout time and in the current day there are those who would abuse power, abolish rights and oppress others. We are constantly in a struggle to uphold core ideals and preserve the human rights of those both within and without our borders; the latter however should be a shared responsibility, and we have gotten into trouble in the past when we haven't treated it as such. The U.S may have faultered but it doesn't change the fact that there are still people here trying to do the right thing.

There was outrage over the treatment of extraterrestrials in the movie. There was a scene showing protests over how the prawns were treated, it just wasn't the focus of the movie.

That is the nature of research with animals. There is regulation (here in the U.S) that attempts to minimize pain when possible and guidelines that must be followed to acquire animals for research, but there has been substantial progress made through animal research. If you've got a viable alternative I'm sure it would be considered. Take a look at the wiki page for more info.
