I once played in a game where a guy wanted to be a thief. He immediately robbed his friends and was killed by another player before we'd even left the tavern. He lasted around 15 minutes.

Name, year of birth and exclamation mark isn't *that* bad. Add a unique pair of letters for each website and it's pretty good. Even better, put the full date of birth. If need be, go and write it down, too. Just don't use the same password on more than one place—especially your email account.

No, inheritance tax isn't a double tax on your already taxed, hard earned money. You're dead. You don't pay it. It's paid, to all intents and purposes, by the people receiving the inheritance, who absolutely did not earn it, and don't deserve a massive tax free windfall.

"So, how is it possible that a group of humans who are so active and fit could burn about the same amount of calories as those who are sedentary? Doesn't that defy the laws of physics? Yeah. Absolutely. So, we were totally shocked as well."

This single graph shows it. Compare the orange and turquoise lines. The people who dieted and exercised lost less weight than those who just dieted. Surely you would have expected them to lose way more? Turns out bodies are complicated.

You know, if you just read the article and followed the links to all the studies you would see that I'm not a nutter. Here's another easy-to-digest article that quotes 60+ studies
Sam (@sambeau.bsky.social) reply parent
For a long time I told myself that I wasn't losing weight because muscle weighed more than fat. But having been very methodical about exercise and calorie counting I am now absolutely certain that exercise—daily skipping; swimming a mile & doing weights 3 times a week—made no difference to my weight
Sam (@sambeau.bsky.social) reply parent
On a personal level, l I have tested this over months. It matches my experience exactly. If I ate less one day, I lost weight the next—less than 12 hrs later. If I exercised heavily one day it made no difference to my weight the next. Weeks of going to the gym and my weight went up until I dieted.
Sam (@sambeau.bsky.social) reply parent
You must also have been reducing your calorie intake without realising. These experiments have been repeated over and over, using doubly labeled water, and the results are as un-intuitive as they are conclusive. Humans have a daily calorie budget.
