This is not true. The laws of thermodynamics apply to open systems as well as long as you take into account the energy that enters and leaves the system, which is exactly what calories in, calories out mean. The brain influencing how many calories are spent is just part of calories out. What doesn't work is equating calories out with imprecise estimates from websites, watches etc, or equating calories in with imprecise calorie counts from food labels that people often miscount anyway. But when calories are carefully measured by scientists (i.e. in a metabolic chamber) and everything is accounted for, it's calories in, calories out all the way.

And in a world that is getting hotter and hotter, nothing is more appealing than carrying your own furnace with you, wherever you go.

Raw cashews are poisonous though, at least to humans. Maybe those crows were far smarter than you think.

It just keeps a copy.

Imagine turning to Reddit for deep stuff. Specific hobbies I understand, but depth ...

I can't believe no one mentioned this yet. I hope OP reads this comment. The first step is to make sure this new computer you want to buy is compatible with Linux. Otherwise your experience will be very frustrating, no matter what distro you choose. That is, if you can install any distros at all. Ask the vendor if this machine is compatible with Linux.

If your competition is other spreadsheet programs, then yes. If your competition is Python or R, absolutely not.

It's not necessarily a threat of violence. A lot of people would just feel ashamed to criticise other people in person would feel fine to do it on the Internet. Being a dick is a lot harder when you can see the effects of your words on the other person.

Some people add the rind to broths.

Me too. For me, this feels one dimensional, like a story where everything is good and wholesome, and nothing bad ever happens. It feels incomplete.

Which is all irrelevant to original point and doesn't change how factual my comment is. Should we start replying to comments making any factual point now?

That's not the point (which is also subjective; if you are a Linux developer or uses Linux software at work it's much harder to use Window). They implied that Linux doesn't let you install proprietary software, which is not true and shows they don't understand how software works. Windows software requires proprietary software from Microsoft to run. You can't run Windows software on Linux because those components are proprietary to Microsoft and are not available for Linux, although Wine tries to reverse engineer them.
