   I really think a 7 day fast should be 'mandatory reading' as far as life experience goes. You learn a lot about yourself. Also echo the mental clarity side of fasting. The weight loss was great, but how I felt was even better. The

   I did water only for the first 30 days, which was stupid, and then supplemented electrolytes -- mainly Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium -- from days 31 onward. That one was super strict, no coffee, no tea, nothing. EDIT - Also, this is _not_ ho

   There's something to the whole regenerative thing and fasting. Best I remember feeling in my adult life was after a 60 day fast. Not what I'd do today, or at least not the same way, but I highly recommend every healthy human fast

   I really dislike blogs/articles/publications that don't have a publication date prominently placed for the reader. This, at least according to the wayback machine, is from at least October 31st, 2021 -- Although I seem to rem

   Coming from someone who really likes the guy; Casey's code game and logic game, quite strong. His tact game and empathy game, not as strong. Not trying to denigrate, just observing.

   Am I the only one who found this incredibly - hard is the wrong word but - annoying to read? If it weren't for all the parentheticals, I'd say this reads like extemporaneous speech passed through some very poor speech to text soft

    I’m going to do something I don’t normally do, comment before I read the article, and invoke Betteridge's Law. The answer is ‘No’.

    I did the Seattle to Portland in one day. It was 338km and around 1500m elevation change. I started at 04:55 and ended at 20:30 - so a total time of 15 hours and 35 minutes including stops. I was incredibly out of shape and under-trained. I

    The ‘Steam’ platform never appears on any list comparing financials. I suspect it’s because the parent company ‘Valve’ is privately held, not publicly traded.

    I mean, based on my extended fasting experience I'd say it's something that's worth exploring. I can't speak specifically to memory, but the mental clarity whenever I fast longer than a few days tends to be awesome. A se

    Agree. I'd rather do One Meal A Day, or 5 days Fasting 2 days fed, or basically anything but every other day. Of course, I'm not locked in a cage in a lab with no choice.

    Here's the whole thread. Since Twitter has started forcing logins to interact with the site, I've found it much more infuriating as a 'user' without an account. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/142

    I believe all of the hardware is installed in every model 3 by default, allowing the ‘full self driving’ upgrade to be sold at the flip of a switch. IIRC this is true of the Model 3 and the Model Y, and possibly certain generations onwards

    Reminds me of a story I heard from a friend. Some consulting firm came in to the company and decided, based on number of commits (or some such metric), that one particular engineer was the lowest performing engineer on the team. So, managem

    Good write up from a great guy. IIRC the author of that page, Nick Touran, works (worked?) for one of the Nuclear Startups that Gates funded. Met him and had a few drinks once, guy knows his stuff.

    Uh, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this... but aren't most Lithium Ion battery chemistries self oxidizing? If that's the case, I don't think a fire suppression system would help.
