Middle click on post titles to open them in a new tab does not work (e.g. : try middle click on SETT Bugs in the title of this post). Right click->Open in new tab works ok.

I'm using Firefox 21.0 .

Would be interesting if you could reply to a post directly by email, and sett automatically putting your reply in the correct thread, like mailing lists work. It's very nice to get all the replies on your email once you are subscribed, but then if you want to answer you have to leave your mailbox.

Also related to this, possibility of getting the replies in your email as a daily digest, instead of separate emails for each reply. Active threads can become pretty spammy.

Yes, well, morality is a very fluid concept that varies a lot between individuals and cultures.

Your examples are besides my point, since they are things that are either necessary for you to survive (food) or everyday tools that serve some practical purpose (knives, cars, chainsaws), which is associated with the risk you mention. I do understand what you are saying though - better examples would be smoking and alcohol.

I'd also like to contradict your last point - gambling can be harmful - see the Wikipedia article on problem gambling. And my point was that this is the reason why it is different from other forms of entertainment, like reading, watching movies and so on, and why I gave the drugs example.

I totally disagree with your last point. Gambling can also lead to addiction and ruin lives, that is I think one of the big reasons why it is considered a shady activity.

By your reasoning, selling drugs is also perfectly ok, since it produces enjoyment to the buyer. And of course, the buyer is totally free to choose not to buy the drugs.

What foods do you eat to get enough calories to make gains?

I exercise 3-4 times per week, strength training and playing tennis and one of my problems is finding a good, healthy source of proteins. Did you just increase the portions of your regular diet, or have you added some other things, like fish (you mentioned sardines in your posts), eggs or dairy products?

Hey, you mentioned you're going to start working out. What are your goals - gain muscle, endurance, just generally get in better shape? Are you going to modify your diet during this period?

I'm asking because what you're eating right now just doesn't seem to supply enough calories for someone who is exercising regularly.

Here's how I see this (I might have picked this idea from somewhere, but can't remember where).

There are 3 big areas that give meaning to a life and where you can find this high-impact activities that Tynan talks about:

  1) Working on something that you believe in and that has a positive impact on other people. This can be anything and it depends on the individual - building a business that improves some aspect of our lives, volunteering for charitable actions and so on. I even think that, in many cases, the impact your work has on the rest of the society is not that important. Some people find a lot of joy in working on obscure stuff (like researching dead languages, solving obscure science problems with little practical applications) - what's important is that they believe in the work they do.

  2) Family and friends - probably this doesn't need much of an explanation. Raising your kids, taking care of your parents, helping your friends and having them support you are important components of a fulfilled life.

  Tynan talks a lot about these two - in this post and in general on his blog. But, coming back to what you are saying, I think there is a third area which helps you fill your life.
