Maintaining strength and muscle mass is a pillar of aging well and enjoying the latter years of life. If you care about your long term health you should absolutely spend time regularly strengthening your muscles, and ensure that your diet s

Well sure. If one puts all their discretionary income and effort into a “pile” the vast majority would go to themselves/kin then others.

Check OP I’m responding too. His question is why racists don’t call for a male immigration ban - not a statistical thought experiment.

How does the value of reduced immigrant crime stack up against the cost of skewing the sex balance in a country?

The study period is from 1999 to 2014. IF wasn't a mainstream practice then - meaning that the bulk of people who try to eat healthy may have been targeting more meals in that period than recent years. Just a possible hypothesis.

Great work - very usable tool. I'll visit often. Well done!

But my question is - if you can't pay rent in LA, what draws you to set up camp in skid row? Why add that burden of living there on top of everything else you're dealing with?

The roof typically comes with the stipulation of no drugs (or even rehab). That’s untenable to the addict.

Awesome to see that you broke out of that. If you don't mine my asking, did you join a street community in a downtown core, or did you use any social services to help? Did you meet a lot of people in a similar situation to you on the s

Absolutely yes they would. I know someone in my extended family on the streets - his problem is addiction. Lot's of people are willing to offer a roof. I know that's anecdata - but you asked about the extreme case.

Is street homelessness really driven by people who couldn't pay their rent? You would think they'd stay away from drug-addled violent tent cities - and sleep in a car or at a friend's house. Too many ideas seem to be conflate

The opposite of fear, uncertainty and doubt would be something like optimism, certitude and faith. I'd rather apply a lens of FUD to hard problems than the latter.

I think it was a post-hoc rationalization by someone who has invested into super high-end audio gear and needs a service with the right features to match that.

Time is more valuable - but you gotta be paid a lot for your time at work to make things like DoorDash worth it.

The use case is "stuff we can't imagine"?

One caveat on this - most residential systems don't have fans that are designed to go up to MERV16. High MERV ratings put more load on the blower equipment.

How can you tell? Most wealthy people - in my experience - don't dress the part.

Mentality change on marijuana? Well down that path already.

Aren't Bitcoin and Ethereum both pseudonymous? Once you know one of someone's transactions, don't you know them all?

Seems like a huge leap to go from apartment shopping to sleeping on the sidewalk. I’m not sure it’s the same population.

You’d rather live in that world, many others would choose the low-spam one.

The goal of PE firms is to exit their investments. Do you think PE is a long running greater fool scam, where there’s always a foolish buyer available. Or, do you think sometimes the buyers are not getting a dead shell?

Seen enough bubbles? They’ve only known one type of monetary policy and rate environment (essentially zero). This is uncharted territory for all crypto.

What are the adopted and realistic use cases?

The question is - how much do historical patterns predict future ones. Can attitudes and norms on what % income spent on housing change? As people attain a higher standard of living, can this trend up?

The answer is not yes or no. The answer is whatever a large enough portion of the electorate believe. I’m not making a case for anything - I’m explaining the narrative behind a growing POV. But I will say that YouTube is different than Face

Some would claim religion is misinformation and causes a lot of problems… they’d say the only thing going for it is that a lot of people believe it.

Who gets to decide what other people are allowed to believe, and on what basis?

It’s true that YouTube is a private entity and should be able to do whatever is in its profit maximizing interest. But, the issue that people are starting to react to is - are some platforms a natural monopoly? Is it useful to have all user
