There are showers and the locker room where I keep a set of clean work clothes at my work. This is normal for a medium to large company, and some small ones have the same utilities. Copenhagen.

One of the top comments on the penguin video is
"The bastards destroyed the entire spaghetti crop last year. I don't see why anyone still fawns over them."

I guess technically you are right, even meat has some carbs in it because muscles hold some glycogen.
The closest thing I can quote is the experiment that Vilhjalmur_Stefansson and Karsten Anderson took part in, eating only meat for a few years

In the end, the one-year project stretched to four years, during which time the two men ate only the meat they could kill and the fish they could catch in the Canadian Arctic. Neither of the two men suffered any adverse after-effects from their four-year experiment. It was evident to Stefansson, as it had been to William Banting, that the body could function perfectly well, remain healthy, vigorous and slender if it used a diet in which as much food was eaten as the body required, only carbohydrate was restricted and the total number of calories was ignored.

low-carb "lazy Keto" diet where all I did was keep carbs under 20g net per day
Looks like a strict keto to me, anything under 30g net carbs per day will put you into ketosis.

if you ate 0 grams of sugar for more than a couple of weeks you would die
No you absolutely would not. Your body can synthesize glucose from protein and fat, you can survive indefinitely on zero sugar. This is called ketogenic diet.

I have to agree on the no fine-grained control. My point was that it is easy to opt out of the notifications by email in general. I'm positive that there is an option where you receive a notification when someone send you a message, but I don't think it is possible to get event invitation notifications only.

It is fairly easy to configure Facebook notifications the way you want them to be (for example, I want to know when someone logs into my account, but nothing else). I post on my timeline less than once a month, and receive no notifications. Not to defend Facebook, but notifications are hardly its biggest annoyance.

I wanted to make a small donation but I am not comfortable entering my credit card information on a website I know nothing about. This is the first time when I wanted to make a donation, and there was no PayPal option to do it.

Stephan Guyenet had a series of blog posts called "Malocclusion: Disease of Civilization" on dental health. As I remember, as usual, decline in dental health was linked to moving away from traditional diets. The problem with teeth "overcrowding" was linked, basically, to not chewing enough of tough foods. People that ate plenty of tough foods as part of their diets had better developed jaws and space enough for all their teeth.

I thought I have a severe case of deja vu, but actually I have seen it before - this guy was discussed previously!

I have never heard the name before, but:
Kerala has the lowest positive population growth rate in India, 3.44%; highest Human Development Index (HDI), 0.790 in 2011; the highest literacy rate, 93.91% in the 2011 census; the highest life expectancy, 77 years; and the highest sex ratio, 1,084 women per 1000 men.

Interesting!

Legend says he also did some unethical things to his competitors
He himself mentions some of this on Tim Ferriss' podcast:
http://fourhourworkweek.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-transcript...
By the time I came to America and started competing over here, it was very clear when I said to someone, “Let me ask you something, do you have any knee injuries or something like that?” Then they would look at me and say, “No, why? No. I have no knee injury at all. No, my knees feel great.” And they say, “Why are you asking?” I said, “Well because your thighs look a little slimmer to me. I thought maybe you can’t squat or maybe there’s some problem with leg extension.”
...
People are vulnerable about those things. Naturally now when you have a competition, you use all this.
...
It throws people off in an unbelievable way.
Tim: And they get defensive.
Arnold: They walk away like this didn’t bother them at all, but then you can see, you watch them as they walk around the pump up room, and when you warm up for the competition, and you can see them kind of thinking to themselves, kind of them going to the mirror and checking it out secretly and all that stuff.
