This should seriously be a „meh“, but for all the YOYOs ( „you‘re on your own“) America/republicans have coddled For decades.

Now I want to see Jackie Chan take on 3 guys with weaponized Yoyos.

Supposedly he yoyos. Gets in shape to tour, then goes total coach potato in between. Obviously this appearance was during a non-tour time.

Your video, The Satellite and the YoYo: Controlling Rotation With A YoYo, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

It's amazing that videosift introduced me to this stuff 10 years ago, and I'm still seeing awesome videos from it.

This was the first one I saw way back when. Gosh dang it, I love you guys n' gals. =)

My dad just watched this with me and said that unfortunately he could remember when walking the dog was the height of yoyo skill.

Years ago, I worked in tech support call center. One day the bosses came by and gave everyone a YoYo with the company name on it. 2 broken monitors and one dude losing a front tooth. They banned them and never gave us anything else......

How are these things judged? I feel like yoyo has gotten to the point that I have no idea what's impressive anymore. Is there some sort of 1080 equivalent? Or is it more like figure skating where you get as many points for choreography as you do for technicality?

I guess that is because they look at it as a temporary diet (Yoyo dieting) and not a change in their diet for the rest of their lives... I'm a (self-described) "carbaholic" and as such when I "fall of the wagon" I eat carbs like nobodies business (as in 4 doughnuts, a pound of chocolate, about a gallon of soda and energy drinks, 3-6 candy bars and ~2 pounds of assorted pick-and-mix candy every single day). As it is now I will never return to a carb heavy diet because I cannot handle it, in the same way that an alcoholic can't handle drinking just one beer. And not to go all Ad-Hominem on you but as an MD you are specialised on disease and not health.

I recommend that you look at this page as it has 17 links to 17 RCT studies on the effects of LCHF diets.

Also from the mayo clinic which I assume is a pretty good source: "There have been a number of studies comparing weight loss with these two types of diets [LCHF/HCLF - My clarification]. In general, low-carb diets may result in a little more weight loss in the first 3 to 6 months. However, after 1 to 2 years there isn't much difference. What's interesting is that the amount of weight loss varies widely among people following either diet. So which type of diet you choose may matter less than whether you stick to it."
On an LCHF diet where you are full all and have a stable blood sugar level all the time it is a lot easier to stay on the diet and not splurge... (Kind of an anecdote... see my previous post in this thread)

Also some more science posts here
1 LCHF vs. HCLF diet (I recommend reading all of it)
2 (A full text from 2002 that might not be available for all [I logged on my Uni resources to search databases for the it] and it is a decade old but still a bit interesting. Name of the study is: Very-low-carbohydrate weight-loss diets revisited. Authors: Volek JS; Westman EC in case you need to search for it on Google scholar or the like)
3 Long term (1 year +) effects

I'm drunk right now so can't be arsed to find more sources.. it is Friday Damn it!!

In "Why we get fat", Gary Taubes argues very persuasively that the above is almost entirely wrong. Increasing exercise will have have the effect of increasing hunger or reducing your activity at other times through tiredness. Eating less will likewise reduce your activity level or lead to levels of hunger that are intolerable in the long term. The way to lose weight according to him is the Atkins, South Beach, Primal method of reducing sugar and carb intake to something very low. Personally I found it very convincing and I strongly recommend the book.

As a medical doctor, I call bullshit on this guy. Look at Atkins/South Beach's effect on peoples weight 1 year AFTER the diet. I see people go on diets all the time. They almost universally fail after 1 year. (Remember, we're talking about LONG-TERM weight loss, not SHORT-TERM weight loss...Atkins/South Beach perform very well in the short term!) My patients that go to the gym to lose weight do much, much better....but only if they KEEP going to the gym.

"Another step in yoyo videos."

No matter how good the music or filmography is....or technically skilled the tricks are...yoyo's are still just fucking boring

There was a huge yo-yo craze when I was a kid. I spent all my pocket money on a bright lime green yoyo with some slick bearings (http://www.yoyowiki.org/wiki/Henrys_Viper). In the end I mastered a pretty wide variety of tricks, including the notorious (well, it was notorious among kids that played with yo-yos...) "splitting the atom". http://youtu.be/FYK_up6zEtM

And wow, looking all that shit up was a total nostalgia trip.

I use Firefox with Adblock Plus.
It works Great, but I have to disable it for videos from a few sites.
I didn't know about the windows built in @luxury_pie. I'm going to look into it.
