Would sleep really add years to your life?

6 hour of sleep has the same effect as 9 hours of sleep, so doesn't that also mean your body has aged 9 hours in a 6 hours span as well?

If anything, you would just be going through life slightly faster than everyone else.

Are you actually trying to suggest that our lifespans are determined by only the number of hours we spend awake? Damn, guys, I'm gonna go hibernate until something relevant to my life is gonna happen!

I wasn't saying that at all. In a 24 hour day, you sleep 6 hours but your body is effected like you have slept 9 hours. So your body has ages 9 hours in a span of 6 hours. You stay awake for 18 hours. Well in that 24 hour span, your body had aged 27 hours.

I guess it also matters what you plan to do with those "extra" three hours a day. More anime? More time on b8? More time to read? More time to study?

I dunno, I feel like the sleeping power simply benefits people who just have horrible sleeping habits (I would be one of them). When say if better IQ someone is more likely to not only think about ways to make sleep more efficient, but would actually take action to do it(ie: learning optimal sleep cycles, knowing time management, etc).

Maybe it's just me, meh

I'll take #2, losing fat is easy, but gaining pure muscle mass takes a long time.

*bends over*

Oh it's nightmaker...

Never thought I would see him here

Buck up Bio,

Try to be like me!

I got a boner reading this topic

I posted a screen of my numbers earlier.

I had one ticket get 2 regular matches, but that still means I win $0

I just realized there are 46 numbers in the Moneyball.

Yet the odds to match the money ball are 1 in 75

How the hell?

How big is your wang?

Favorite beer?

What the hell is this?

I did post my numbers, look up

NO MORE ALLOWED AFTER THIS POST

Let's do this!

Less than 2 minutes to go. Lock it in

I wasn't too sure if I am allowed to post a link to that kind of website.

I would've assumed too that you were gonna type "buy mega millions tickets online"...

LET'S DO THIS!!!

When I get out of work I'll screen shot the tickets.

I feel like I'm ignored or something. You can buy them online. I bought 10 tickets yesterday. You normally have to play your tickets 6 hours before the drawing though. So you got like 30 minutes?

Relevant information.

It's not that accurate since it doesn't account for inflation every single year, but...even though if you took the annuity payments.

By the time you are done with your annuity (given a 1% inflation rate...which is 1/3 of the average).

Adjusted with inflation, the worth of what you have is $291 Million.

As opposed to $292 million you would have now in which you can just put it in a bank and then investing with that money.

I couldn't find a more accurate calculator though, so maybe someone could help me out with the actual numbers. Thanks

Sure, why not?

Even if giving out that many thousands would probably cause Paypal to freeze your account.

I'll buy my way out of any problems :)

Since I don't want to rely on EZ picks, I'm using the time stamps as my winning numbers. Huzzah! (well, for 4 of the 6 tickets I am...and they exclude my timestamps)

I am buying 6 tickets, online.

It sucks since they are 2.5x the cost of the regular tickets.

But I also didn't want to drive 4 hours, and wait for another 2 hours to get $20 worth of tickets as well (plus gas).

Alt's don't count.

Money will be sent via paypal

So what does that leave us with, 30 users?

CLOSING TIME: Friday 10PM EST.

What about inflation? Who knows if I'll even be alive in 25 years. I can just put it all in a Swedish bank account and just live off of the interest forever :)

My state doesn't have Mega Millions :(

Luckily I can buy tickets online, huzzah!

Well they are tiny slices, and they have a nice "kick" whenever I eat them. It's just this time the kick wasn't there, I dunno. I guess "funny" wasn't the right way to describe it, it just tasted a little off, I normally drink beer with the bread and I thought this was the way it was supposed to taste without the beer.

:/

*Looks at date*

"Eat by 3/21"

Whoops, I'm sure I won't get food poisoning, right?

...RIGHT?!?

Sure

Are anyone of these the snickers "great googly moogly" links? If not, please provide

I only had 3 minutes to write that on my iPhone, I tried.

Every job that I had I always was behind in the pack, I would make mistakes that no other rookie would make. Eventually my whole tribe hated me for what I couldn't do. But I knew that if I believed really hard, I would be the best.

During my 90 evaluation my teacher didn't think I would pass, I also took he lives of his parents when I was an unborn. However he had a change of heart at the last moment. And he believed in me. Soon, I became a rockstar. Believe it.

"This would be helped if employers learned better how to provide a better working environment and weren't so averse to paying competitive wages."

So true, but I try to bring about a great learning experience and a great environment for my employees. However, as for my employers... Different story.

This whole pre-screening thing is pretty creepy and awful.

And yet I always get the best mold-able talent to train. If it makes you feel any better, if you have a connection...then pre-screening is virtually negated :).

Information is powerful, the more info you have the better. As an employer, it takes time, money, and additional staff to train new employees and bring them up to speed, and hope that they actually stay with you and won't leave in a month to a job that pays $1/hr more.

I have twitter, youtube, linkedin and a website that pretty much gets a feel for who I am and I am not afraid to let employers know the kind of person I am. I have a good sense that most of my information available helps improve my image to people wanting to employ me. (I know I said I hire people, but I am still looking for a better company :))

No facebook or other lack of information doesn't hurt when I prescreen, but if done right...it certainly can help.

Do you ever do further research with usernames of candidates? Like my facebook's url is 'foolmoron' and I have my e-mail listed as 'foolmoron' and such. Would you google that and look at my message board posts or whatever?

I go all-out. Any information I receive (Name, Location, School, Age, email name, samples), I will do my best to figure out anything and everything about you. Most of the time it's nothing major. If I see that you have a unique username, most people actually have 1 username they stick with on various mediums (youtube, twitter, facebook, old social networking pages, linkedin)

I had one guy who applied for a position that talked about the kinds of people who he hates, one was people who like ufc and drink pbr...well I like both :(.

If I'm gonna hire the guy and have him learn from me, we won't get along. Is it fair? Nope. But it makes my job a lot easier.

social media is a good source of info for things that they can't legally ask you during an interview or that you may lie about, they want to profile you as thoroughly as possible so maintaining your privacy makes you a less desireable candidate for employment

So wrong it's not even funny. I've hired / interviewed many candidates for jobs and generally speaking, the less I know (to an extent) the better. It's easy to judge character, work ethic, intentions, skills, and overall chemistry with an individual based on interviews and talking with them face to face. I do find any reason to not hire someone, and if I have a lot more information that doesn't pertain to the job but it can be based of my own personal preference (ie, facebook information that is publicly shown), then I can nitpick all I want.

No facebook? I won't ask for it anyway, I pre-screen that, along with linkedin, youtube, myspace, etc. (I had one guy who was a club promoter and one of his references was a convicted pedo, hurray facebook)

Companies that force you to see your information are NOT companies you want to work for. A lesser degree that I've seen is that the employer adds the potential employee as a friend and will be upfront about it. Or if you want to be sneaky, use a doppleganger account.

If you are smart enough to clean up your photos on facebook, or deactivate it so I don't find any reason to think you aren't a qualified applicant during prescreening, then you are doing it right.

It's like an unwritten part of the interview process, "cover letter, resume, dress shoes, shirt and tie, and a squeaky clean or deactivated facebook page".

You can be double cunning by making your own "fake" facebook account with about 20 fake friends and don't post anything in it except some updates once a month. And with your real account make it very private to where you won't show up in the search.

Damn you whose line!

One time my dad put a gun to my 2 year old older brother's head and ran off to Canada.

That is the only story I have of my dad.

I get so busy that once every other month I catch up with some of my favorite manga (used to be anime...those were the good ole days).

Little did I know...MANGASTREAM LOST MY ONE PIECE?!?

Then I read it got taken down, now it's back up?

wut?

BTW - <3 Ippo

Lame I thought I signed up for this

Lame, I'm not in :(

*signs*

ray william johnson?

LOL

Louis CK for me. We watched season 1 of Louie last week and told me that I have the exact mannerisms and say nearly the same things as Louie. Although I'm sure I'm no where as close to being as funny as him.

I do need to watch/listen to more Anthony Jeselnik, from about the 10 minutes I saw of him, sheer brilliance.

- Get back to 150lbs
- Hopefully get to be in a boxing match
- Land a new job or move to another city with a different job if I breakup with my girlfriend

Is it wrong that I like ROH?

I'll celebrate with you so this won't be awkward.

It's Kurt Angle
