This is very similar to Hemingway's advice on writing, with similar justifications.

The idea is that you are increasing your chance of injury because you've hit short term hypotrophy of the CNS/muscle. "To failure" is a relative term. Someone who has lifting for a very long time knows their body very we

A good example of "to failure" is when you can't perform a lift symmetrically, or you find yourself cheating by e.g. moving your elbows, lifting your heels, etc.

You shouldn't feel bad about leveraging a system to your advantage. Life is hard.

My first introduction to the DEI movement was in college, reading "None of This is Fair," which at the time reflected on the DEI initiatives on the 2000s poorly. Since then we've considerably doubled down on the things Rodrig

Don't weed whack or mow it either. Use shears and/or high concentrate vinegar. And if you are sensitive, find a friend that isn't.

Got 47/55 with a few false positives (which is A-OK in my book). Poison ivy has a few distinct characteristics that make it hard to miss if you know what to look for.

"The use of untreated human feces in agriculture poses significant health risks and has contributed to widespread infection with parasitic worms—a disease called helminthiasis, affecting over 1.5 billion people in developing countries.

Regenerative agriculture relies on poultry and livestock to restore the topsoil layer. Meat isn't going away. In fact, we may wind up eating more, not less, of it, over time.

> COVID caused Putin to isolate and become paranoid, but it's still Putin's fault I don't see anyone still claiming this besides neocon warhawks, and they don't really have a source besides other neocon warhawks.

You can kill the pathogens through curing the compost, but that takes time, space, and equipment. In the meantime you'd be dealing with hazardous waste.

Recently, I have seen a short-sighted push to allow human waste to fertilize crops. That is absolutely 100% not the solution to anything for probably a dozen very good reasons. The impact of this kind of "recycling" is well studie

Women tend to be bad at salary negotiation, and less likely to change jobs. Middle aged women being taken advantage of in the corporate world is tragic.

I think it's fair to point out that men commit most violent crimes. That's not good/normal/expected it's just a fact. AI could be used to better understand these associations (e.g. why is there a correlation between

HN is overwhelming made up of young men of above average intelligence in a high-risk segment of an industry that has a reputation for lower than average social skills. Go into every thread with that understanding.

I recently took a course on greenwashing, the history of distraction in the ecoactivist movement, and effective political activism. I don't know if there's a single movement that has been sidelined more than the conservation movem

That's how fake standards organizations work. Industries with real standards bodies benefit from collaboration on standards before implementation.

Is the W3C legitimate? At this point most of their standards are behind the curve. It feels as though the big three are setting the standards, and others (including W3C) are just following along.

Unless it's symptomatic of a sharp increase in mental health difficulties. Most MH folks I know are completely booked months out at this point.

HN has seen a steep rise in mental health related posts in the last year. Am I the only one who has noticed?

The Democrat party drummed up the "both sides" argument as cover for them turning their backs on the grassroots activism that got Barack Obama elected in 2008. In the same way, the modern focus on racial issues in the US is direct

Trial and error. I've taken 6-8 different kinds and settled on one that works, which is the cheap generic store brand. My wife has done the same, and has discovered that the one that works for her is a completely different sort.

The goal isn't to keep your acid low it's to keep your stomach moving. If you have low acid your digestion will be slower and if it's low enough you will develop bacterial infections. PPIs lower your stomach acid and can caus
