I do cut calories (I bulk at maybe 3500 and cut at maybe 2500), I'm mostly saying that I find it much easier to feel full on a very high protein diet. I also believe there is some research suggesting that you should err on the higher s

The issue with the PB&J is that it's > 700 calories (440 just from the PB, call it 100 for a TBSP of jelly, probably 100-200 for the bread), whereas a grilled chicken breast might give you 30 G of protein with maybe 250 calories

I never heard that claim. Only "the electoral college is a bad system" or "voters were influenced by Russian propaganda." Never "votes were impacted by direct fraud."

My stable diffusion output looks awful. I've been trying to recreate the xkcd about Joe Biden eating sandwiches, so I try something like "Joe Biden eating a sandwich in the oval office, 4k render, photograph" and I get nightm

Great advice, I decided that I'm not willing for my dad to be dead -- who do you suggest I take the issue up with to get the unfairness resolved?

Kant is actually towards the top of my list of "stuff I thought was dumb before I read the actual source material but which I now have a lot of respect for." The categorical imperative stuff is a reflection of a really profound va

I was a double major in philosophy and CS in my undergrad. Philosophy was fun, but in hindsight I wish I did math or stats or some other STEM instead. I would say my main takeaway from the philosophy degree was developing a sense of intelle

I don't want to lock anything down with a contract that removes degrees of freedom from business decisions. I truly, sincerely think that following the wishes of the invisible hand is best for everyone here.

We act against kids and teachers, yeah, but we don't act against the place where they gather (i.e. the school, the playground, whatever). Similarly, we should act against the people who spread hate on Instagram, not the platform -- not

My leverage is getting a different job. If that's not enough to get what I want, that's too bad for me: looks like it's in everyone's interest for me to leave -- I get to go to a company that's better suited to my i

Kids have been bullied into suicide at school. Do you think we should ban schools? Or forbid cafeterias? Some kids feel trauma over being picked last for sports teams -- should we ban sports?

The problem is that fabricating a chip has upfront costs measured in 10s of millions for the masks, and the chips that come out aren't all uniform -- there is more work required to do to capture variations in power consumption, rejecti
