I’m not knocking this idea, but it seems like a common misconception that all heating is just waste. A heat pump, for example, gives more heat per unit of energy than just the basic one to one of resistant heating.

I don’t think you can burn calories without oxygen intake directly proportional to the calorie loss, so it’s actually an excellent measure. Is oxygen not what allows us to catalyze the energy in the first place?

I’ve actually tried to live by the opposite. I wouldn’t buy a house with a full bladder, but I think it improves the quality of snap decision making.

A friend and I used to track our Overwatch ranked results based on how badly we needed to pee. It wasn’t very useful data, but it was funny.
