Automate the boring stuff. I'm reading/have read other books listed by others in this thread so I won't list them, but this book what made me continue programming after I put it down.

Just to clarify, my understanding of you bio-hacking is that you are "hacking" your body to behave in an certain way. Some already go that route via Injecting magnets or rfid into their bodies, or take drugs/ micro dose on du

I remember going to a talk where the head of synthetic biology at MIT talked about his work. One of the things he is working on are educational kits for young students. You might want to Google search BioBits. Last time I checked, the produ

I was wondering why my previous comment was dead as quickly as I had submitted it. I did a quick Google search and discovered OpenTrons is y combinator backed. If censorship is the case, then may I make the point that instead of censoring p

Eh, I get mixed reviews from people who own this, which is why I opted not to get one for my lab. Some labs never use it to its fullest capabilities, either and use it for show. A student is cheaper, and arguably more reliable when fully t

I appreciate your concern, and your moral obligation to try and tell people. I do not mean to be rude to you, but your understanding is outdated and wrong. Saturated fats are actually good for you as these fats are required for a healthy me

I read "The Personal MBA". I honestly wouldn't recommend it as a purchase. It's mostly definitions that you can skim through in an afternoon. There is a lot of pseudoscience/broscience in it, and the info on nutriti

I wish I could agree, and if I were experiencing a different situation, I would be in the same camp. Firefox 65 keeps crashing on my Linux box. I've tried downgrading to 64 and below. But whatever updates were installed when I installe

Yeah. Probably will take a while. So much for freedom, eh? I'd be interested if they had tutorials to make your own, but I'm pretty sure they'd like to keep this a trade secret.

Interesting website. The legal jargon on one of their pages is reminiscent of things I'd see in online pharma websites that sell viagra pills, modafinil, and the like. I'm not sure how the legalese holds up in court though, but tr

Oh wow. Do you have an academic background in chemistry? I've heard stories of chem phD students synthesizing in their labs at night. I've considered synthing for the challenge and for personal use, but haven't built up the c

I disagree. I have both a MBP and ThinkPad. I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer the trackpoint.

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how do you plan to do this? Grants? Investors? Trust fund? If you can sustain yourself longer than 6 months, have you considered just starting your own lab/business?

"Virtual Reality seems like a safer bet." Out of curiosity, can you explain why you think so? I'd think block chain has the bigger potential, but I don't keep myself up to date on VR.

A short summer adventure driving from east coast to west coast helped me learn to appreciate the journey more than the destination, and that thinking has crossed over to developing habits that have improved my life.

Cutting off social media led to much improvement in my situation. It's a time sink - unless you're using it for marketing purposes. The time I use to peruse Facebook, IG, Twitter, is used for more useful things.

I disagree. I see it more as natural selection. Training is usually what a soldier might have to go through in real combat. I don't think accommodating different body types will be useful when the war time environment selects for a par
