Can anyone tell me why I have several devices in my home that demand a certain USB-C cord in order to charge? They are mostly cheap Chinese devices that won’t acknowledge a more expensive (e.g., Apple) uSB-C cord plugged into them. Even w

Day to day I use a home body composition scale (Withings Body Scan), the results of which have been corroborated by two Dexascans I've done at my gym a little less than a year apart. For me personally, the little bit of help in the for

GLP-1s have legitimately changed my life for the better. I've always been very active but have consistently been moderately overweight. A relatively low dose of Semaglitide has helped me lose 40lbs and keep it off. I'm a year and

I was weary but took the leap and installed Lutron Caseta switches throughout my house. They are absolutely fantastic.

My one experience with psilocybin was the only time in my life I've ever confronted the fragility of my mental and emotional wellbeing in such a sudden way. Drastically different from other psychedelics I've experienced. MDMA is p

Fair point and I absolutely acknowledge that the future AI will usher in is still very much an unknown. I do think it's worth recognizing that there is one part of the story that is very predictable because it's happened over and

Why would my employer pay me more for using their AI? I am already massively more productive at work using AI. I'm not getting paid more, and I'm not working fewer hours. The road we are headed down is one where all of the economi

Companies like Nvidia and OpenAI base their answers to any questions on economic risk on their own best interests and a pretty short view of history. They are fighting like hell to make sure they are among a small set of winners while wavin

I think the appeal and the value equation of AR would be completely different if it didn’t feel like you were donning a heavy headset to step into the matrix. It’s very likely that there will be innovation in translucent displays and input

The biggest question for me is depreciation. My 2022 Model Y in perfect condition with 50k miles on it is probably worth less than 1/3 of what I paid for it. That’s very tough to stomach. As we think about offloading the Tesla, I’m lef

My X experience has become scrolling through the 2/3 of posts I never asked for, including: 1) Elon's posts, though I never interact with him as a subject, 2) Ads from Trump-supporting PACs seeking donations, 3) Ads for hunting ga

We need a name for this genre of companies. Their value proposition is completely based on you not knowing that the noise monitors they feature centrally in their strawman argument have also had their core feature for years. Minut is the ex

Being able to access iPhone apps I use continuously during the day without having to pick up the device makes this feature hugely useful to me. I only get asked to auth on my iPhone once every few days, if that.

There are a lot of people here citing loss of muscle mass as a side effect of GLP-1s, when the reality is that weight loss almost always comes with muscle loss. For me, that hasn't even been the case. I'm down 40lbs on a relativel

It isn't hard to imagine that the last 10% of mass a bodybuilder has added was hard won and easily lost. That isn't representative of most people.

It seems like there's growing medical acceptance of the idea that everyone has a natural weight that they seem to plateau at (which in some cases is overweight.) 1mg of semaglutide reset my natural plateau from 225 to 180. You are exac

What an insightful and additive point of view that I've never considered before.

I'm on 1mg of compounded semaglutide, where I've been for the past 4 months. I have a similar arc in terms of days 2-5 being the strongest effect, but I haven't experienced any nausea (except the smallest bit during the first

The best way that I can describe what Semaglutide has done for me is that I feel like almost nothing in my life has changed (other than being down 45lbs, suddenly having normalized liver enzyme levels and blood pressure.) Before starting it

Fair point in the sense that most professions involve some level of trading your well being for labor, as anyone who works in a job that even remotely involves manual labor can tell you. The difference here, for me at least, is that my atte

For me, seeing a person or business consciously claim neutrality this year is reprehensible and impossibly out of touch. Whether Bezos likes it or not the business he is in comes with the assumption of an endorsement, and silence is an impl

This is exactly my question. I wish I could better justify the value of spaceflight, but I’m wholly unconvinced. The arguments for investing in it always seem like vague references to the future with no specific value delivered today.

Here we have a perfect specimen of an assumption-laden, chronically online take. I’m not a fan of the man but it has nothing to do with my question.

What portion of the national budget that is devoted to spaceflight would it take to shower the USFS in riches? I'd much rather see it going to the latter.

This line of thinking peeks through all the time from otherwise intelligent people. Merely mentioning how heinous a crime was when we're talking about the guilt or innocence of a suspect should immediately kill your credibility. Too ba

Genuinely curious, how so? This is what I see being reported in major news outlets. Thousands injured, including the families of low ranking officials who happened to be at home together when it happened.
