I’ve been thinking for a long time that a blinking yellow would be revolutionary and simple.
They should make the yellow begin to blink when it’s x number is seconds from going red. Because as is you have little reference to how soon it will shift.
Something like that has been tried before, using a timer display. It was pretty disastrous because people accelerated to beat the red. I think this was in China, so perhaps in other countries it might work better if the driving culture was more cautious.
Timers on the red seem to work well though, giving people advance waning to prepare to go, get in gear etc. There is one near me that seems to help get the traffic moving through faster when the lights change.
For our honeymoon we booked through Costco travel to Cancun and it was a great value, and one of the benefits was knowing they had our back if there were any flight cancellation/delays. My wife had used them a year previous to Hawaii which had a flight cancellation.
The airline wouldn’t make her whole on the hotels/excursions. But Costco went to bat and got all of her money back and some.
Exactly! They didn't mention cost in the correct way in the article, only saying that it costs less because it's a small tunnel. Instead of addressing the possible cost savings from advances in tunnel digger technology that Musk hopes to achieve.
the first tunnels won't make as much financial sense as subsequent tunnels but they're have to start somewhere
I wandered into 16:8 as part of general cargo ship steering towards better health/fitness.
Used as just one aspect, along with: going cold turkey on snacking at work, switching to black coffee, and doing some daily simple fitness basics (pushups and the like), and ongoing bike commuting [prior to calorie consumption] the consequences over the last 18 months have been dramatic.
The main reason 16:8 IM helped with significant weight loss for me is certainly the "side effect" of significantly reduced caloric intake (thank you CICO). Normalizing to two meals and much reduced snacking has made a ton of difference.
So much so that when I hit my semi-formal "target" (midpoint of the "normal" BMI weight range for my height) I think I am going to have to get conscious about getting enough healthy calories to maintain muscle etc.
I try to make slightly more sensible choices, and exercise some mediocre "portion" control... but haven't switched diet to speak of.
I am a convert. I can see that it's not magic, but, for me at least IM as part of a broader modest trajectory change is turning out to be honestly life-changing.
I've been doing 16:8 for decades without knowing it was a thing :) For me it basically burns down to skipping breakfast, eating lunch at 12:00 and dinner at 18:00, and that's it.
I did 5:2 for 3-4 years as well, and lost 20kg (~44 freedom units). I did 36 hour fasts, and after a while it just felt naturally, but i'd be lying if i said the fasting days were easy. It gets "easier" but never easy.
I usually took a break from fasting during holidays, and a few years back i never really got back into it, and reverted to my old 16:8 ways. I'd love to see more research on it, but from my own experience, it's nowhere as effective as a regular 5:2 diet.
On more than mice? I'm pretty sure such research has already been done a lot on mice, I've been hearing about positive intermittent fasting / caloric restriction studies for years (but it's always in mouse models).
A little more info on Dr Berg: he's a chiropractor doctor not a medically trained doctor. He has a lot of good information, but it's also wise to verify any of his info from other sources.
