Tim Ferriss: So the question of solid versus liquid food. It's easier to over consume with liquid and that's part of the reason that if people are trying to gain mass; most controversial topic in the book by far is the mass gain; that's where like the meathead brigade has come down upon me in force on the Internet. But I gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days. So I was supervised by a Ph.D. as San Jose State University and to do that you have to consume a pretty atrocious number of calories.
It's a seaborne empire. It's a kind of reconnaissance in force where they kind of go across the border, kind of pick their noses for a few days and then kind
All right. Very cool. And speaking of things that are in force , we got, you know, 16 Frames is the name of your band as well. How'd you come up with the name?
And in fact, not only did they stop construction of that larger reactor under the nuclear agreement that we had with them, but it started to rust so badly from exposure to the elements in the eight years that the agreement was in force that-- Hecker was there in his last visit in 2010, he told me he saw cranes that were having to dismantle it, because it was going to fall down from exposure to the elements.
really flesh out what happened there get two or three examples too don't just get one accomplishment now third question is you say a riff you you know reduction in force and you ask well how many people were riffed that day and they like two
- Nope. That's not gonna happen. - Yeah, they would just come back in force . - Yeah, they trust silver to do the work of swords.
which is all the way on the other side of this dip. And as a result, you get a huge amount of displacement for that tiny increase in force . That's what creates the sudden snap.
It's very intuitive, I mean, you've all experienced it, at least if you're in the Netherlands with your umbrella, there's a gust of wind underneath your umbrella. It pops to the other side, so you sort of go over a peak in energy or in force , and it suddenly snaps, and typically it becomes softer. And this is the way all things snap.
But it's preceded by definitions that, I think, we and others feel like are fundamentally flawed. And unfortunately, these fundamentally flawed concepts are the ones almost exclusively in force in practice these days. So if you look at a end user license agreement or a privacy policy of a large company, they will normally refer to policies.
discoveries, the fundamental discoveries that will impact. And that's what I mean by mission-driven. And, of course, at Argonne we have over a thousand Ph.D. researchers, smaller than probably the number of engineers that you have here. But still all working in force in science to deliver that mission. We do a lot of cross-discipline work. So another thing that distinguishes us from for example University is we aren't PI, singly, only PI driven. Like you guys we have a lot of meeting rooms, we have a lot of people
Then, um, we've got to take these things seriously. Like what happened at the Republican Convention just two years ago. Uh, let's see. I was here two years ago. It was a couple months before the Convention, and of course, "Democracy Now" was out in force , "Breaking With Convention", "War, Peace and The Presidency, from the streets to the suites to the convention floor." We went to Denver; then we flew on to Minneapolis, St. Paul to cover the Republican Convention after the Democrats. It was the first day of the Convention, Labor Day. Um, for the
- In June of 793, a group of Vikings, probably originating from Norway, arrived at the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, which was a monastic community, and they essentially slaughtered everyone, burned a couple of buildings and grabbed everything that had any value and left. And that was the first Viking raid that came in force . And I do think Lindisfarne is a good beginning date because the terror that it brought really signified what was to come for the next two to three centuries.
England is pretty much conquered, they switch back to France. So I think a lot of these are just probing raids at first, but they're proof of concept and then they come in force . For example, there was one king in England, his name was Ethelred the Unready, which is a pretty funny... Pun on his name. But he paid, in one year,
Now, you can also control displacement instead of force, and measure how much force it takes to stretch the mechanism at any point. This time, when you reach the tipping point, it's the force that has to follow displacement along the graph, so you get a sudden jump up in force , showing that the material has stiffened.
I do. The first one could lead to an accidental war, or a war by miscalculation. Several decades ago, most of the nations of the world signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which is in force today.
