My wife was anemic (vegetarian) for a long, long time. We use close to 100% cast iron these days, and she hasn't had an iron issue in 2+ years. And as another commenter said, it lasts forever. My favorite pan has been in my family so l

I have never needed to hire a genius in the last 12 years. In fact, often times I've had to pass on candidates that were overqualified.

Recruiting is brokered enterprise sales. Realty for human resources. And, like realty, recruiting is 80% shit, 15% good people, 5% crooks. And, like realty, ripe for disruption in niche markets (like IT). As a buyer, Triplebyte should have

Libel is tricky, especially with public companies. A libel suit opens you up to discovery, which is pretty much never good in the court of public opinion. There's also a (relatively) high bar, even when the author is an SME (Trevor see

There is a baseline trading volume that still expects to have access to the stock. As you buy more stock, less stock is available to buy, driving up the price.

As a counter point, livestock are a critical part of the regenerative ag movement. Our property was farmland for 150 years before it basically ran out of nutrients in the 1970s. After one year of a pretty good harvest (not great) in 2019, w

If 30% of what they ate was meat, then roughly 3/5ths of their caloric intake was meat. And as the study you posted states, they were eating mammals not fish or birds.
