Another hivemind question: Does anyone know ergonomically speaking, where your monitor should be relative to your eye level? My eye doctor told me to make sure my monitor was below eye level, so I moved it. I can tell that's going to help a lot vision wise, but now I feel like looking down at the monitor is going to hurt my neck.

(I mean, I suppose it *could*, calories are energy, baking is heat...right?)
but, but, -- calories can be neither created or destroyed right? It would have to convert into something? Or does that theory only apply to matter?

Well, they're a measurement of energy. So if you burn up the cookie (which, isn't that how they measure calories?), you're measuring how much energy it takes, or something? I dunno. It's been a LOOOOONG time since college science classes....
I figure it probably does work out the whole flour plus sugar plus butter equals total calories. But I want reassurance!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Calories are a measure of potential energy, so they could theoretically be released as heat during the baking process. But I doubt the difference is enough to matter nutritionally.

But when baking, you apply heat, right?
eh, what do I know?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Perkins, the very top of the screen on your monitor should be at eye level.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm guessing it doesn't make much difference.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ok, I added all the ingrediants in and then factored 1/16th of the measurement for each serving. counting calories is going to test some rarely used math.

For whatever it is worth the ergonomics expert I consulted after I got my RSI said 1/3rd of the screen should be above eye level, 2/3rds below it - that imaginary absolutely level lines from the center of my eyeballs to the center of the screen should hit exactly one third below the top of the screen. Dunno if this was specific to me or general advice.
