Do you need to enjoy them?

Lots of people suggest music or podcasts. IMO chores are a good way to give some free (non-stimulated) time to your brain so you can process whatever needs to be processed, which is necessary for mental health.

You don't need to be entertained 24/7.

>If your employer puts out schedules weeks ahead of time then flex scheduling isn't too bad, but most work places only do one week in advance.

What? Flexible work hours means you choose for yourself when you're going to come in for work. It doesn't mean your employer chooses your time willy-nilly.

He probably means something like this, but with a smartphone as the last "step" in evolution rather than a computer.

To answer the OP, those are comedic sketches, not accurate representations of what will happen to human evolution in the future.

Well, in theory, if conditions don't change, an orbit remains unchanged forever.

However, in practice, in our Solar system for example, you've got planets orbiting the Sun, each at their own pace, and every planet is exerting some gravitational force on other planets as they pass each other by, making tiny changes in their orbits.

So, orbits do change over HUGE periods of time (but we're talking slight changes over millions of years), but they don't really decay.

Lol, unless you're an 80 year old grandma with arthritis, you're not going to buy a useful amount of weights with 30$.

I wholly agree that buying your own set of weights pays off relatively quickly compared constantly paying gym membership, but first you need to have space to put them in your house and you actually need to have the discipline to use them (otherwise it's a wasted investment).

>I don't think thats endless though

It is endless in theory, if you're high enough.

ISS has to boost because, even though it's technically outside the atmosphere, there are still some air particles floating around up there, producing a tiny amount of drag which needs to be compensated every so often.

For a body to stay in orbit, it needs to have a certain speed. Drag is slowly taking that speed away. Boosting is adding that speed back.

Yes. Orbit is basically a fall that "misses" the Earth (or whatever body you're orbiting around).

Newton's Cannon is a great explanation of that.

If you launch an object, it will fall in a curved path. If you launch if faster, it will fall in a curved path, but with a larger radius. If you launch it REALLY fast, the radius of that curve will be such that it will go around the Earth.

That's how rockets reach orbit. They basically accelerate sideways a lot.

Why do you need that? It's a pretty weird question to ask.

There aren't any strictly defined genres and many games cannot be confined to a single genre because they have elements of multiple genres. The genres are just rough descriptions of games, not exact science. There isn't any universal consensus as to what constitutes a particular genre.

But to get the rough idea, just open any game distribution service (such as Steam), and see what kind of division they use.

If you sit too much, you don't get enough physical activity. Without physical activity, your muscles and bones weaken, your heart weakens, your circulation and blood pressure get affected, your metabolism activity gets reduced in multiple ways, you burn less energy thus you're more prone to getting fat, you lose flexibility / mobility in your joints... So you get into this whole web of interconnected causes and effects that negatively affect your health.

Physical activity, on the other hand, helps maintain or develop bone and muscle strength, you train your cardiovascular system, you activate processes in your metabolism that help keep your body running efficiently, hormones get produced.

I've never baked with whole wheat flour, but supposedly whole wheat baked stuff tends to be coarser, dryer, tougher, denser, and has a stronger flavor. All in all, supposedly it's more difficult to get a good bread out of whole-wheat flour. Generally, we want our breads to be light, soft, and fluffy.

Also, whole wheat flour has a a shorter shelf life.

That standard white wheat flour you see everywhere is processed flour.

Wheat seed has 3 parts - they're called bran, endosperm, and germ. When processing the flour, bran and germ are removed, leaving only the endosperm. Naturally, removing parts of the seed also removes the nutrients, which makes processed white flour nutritionally poorer.

Whole wheat flour, on the other hand, is exactly what it says - flour made out of whole seed with nothing removed. That means it contains more micronutrients (fiber, vitamins, minerals) than processed white flour, which makes whole wheat flour a better choice health-wise than processed flour.

You just need to be careful when reading the labels because when the front of the packaging says "whole wheat", that may mean it has like 20% whole wheat flour, and the rest is processed white flour. If it says "100% whole wheat", then there's no processed flour in it.

What are you talking about? "Whole wheat" is not a buzzword. It's a fact about the type of flour used.

Most common type of flour used pretty much everywhere is processed wheat flour.

Wheat seed has 3 parts - bran, endosperm, and germ. When processing the flour, bran and germ are removed, leaving only the endosperm.

Whole wheat flour, on the other hand, is exactly that - flour made out of whole seed with nothing removed. That means it contains more micronutrients (fiber, vitamins, minerals) than processed white flour, which makes whole wheat flour a better choice health-wise compared to the same amount of processed flour.

I'm not sure about those percentages, but most people definitely don't utilize their muscles fully.

It's a well known fact that rookie weightlifter can get like 50% stronger in his first couple of weeks of lifting simply due to his brain learning how to put the muscles to good use.
