Caching db queries and media assets already got a big boost a decade ago going from spinning rust to ssd to even faster NVME. Optimizing DB queries on spinning rust was an exciting experience though. Chasing milliseconds with caching and wa

It looks like a beer drinker does't like phytoestrogen. I'm still laughing at the "phytoestrogen or flight response" :p

They could also use a quarter to do a coin flip if a marriage will end in divorce. 45% by 2021 estimates. No ring, no alimony and no child support has free love written all over it in the 21st century. Its obvious that it takes a lot of syn

Happily, individuals always have a choice :) I've laughed several times already at "culture clumping" and "lifestyle clumping". Being a technology native, I had good timing and got to grow up with the "golden l

Its more of a generational divide with the hyperpartisan gibberish. I always laughed when they said "voting for the lessor of two brain-dead illiterates stuck in the 18th century". It looks like the indoctrinated offspring from th

Diversification is an interesting innovation in the 21st century. Getting stuck as a head-in-a-fishbowl doesn't sound that appealing :/

As a technology native, a quiet environment is the same feeling as chilling in the zone (if working on something interesting). Its not a shared experience for sure. I enjoy golf the same way (chlling in the zone during a good workout, simil

Phytoestrogens could be an issue for some lifestyles. https://nutritionfacts.org/2019/06/04/beer-phytoestrogens/ If you know your diet, you're not increasing estrogen in your own body

I watched both of Lustig's videos on fructose. A lot of interesting data. The american heart association estimates a 60%-70% overweight/obesity ratio. Individuals still choose their own lifestyle behaviors :)

I chose a diuretic as a beverage of choice and skipped the "phytoestrogen or flight" response :p I'm sure that made someone laugh :)

I remember seeing a 60 minutes episode in the 1980's/1990's about Israel and incendiary devices shaped like toys with bright colors. As far as culture goes, it looks like incendiary ballons are their new toy in the 2020'

Agreed that healthy routines are very cool. I know golf has a seniors tour, but always laughed at the thought of the NFL doing that (oh the humanity!) :p

You probably answered the cognitive benefit aspects of exercise as well :/ I find the best part of exercise being not feeling like exercise at all and being well outside of my normal operating parameters.

Recreational golfing is much more relaxing. I can chase personal goals while enjoying every minute of it. We're all aware of Tiger blowing out a knee, but some stories coming out of the LPGA with pros living with excruciating pain from

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day but a broken record stays stuck on repeat for those with nothing better to listen too. This is still the best century for innovation :)

The lifestyle divide is obvious. If its not an enriching activity (or something you genuinely enjoy), its just a fad exercise to go with a fad diet. I've been enjoying golf for 3 decades now and skipped the gym and other sports. I stil

After spending some time in SoCal, they do have to live "10 people to a three bedroom" to make the math work. I was not impressed with much that I saw in Cali other than the natural beauty. Even the education system established in

Very few of those on the list can be enjoyed by octogenarians. I have enjoyed decades of golf so far with firm glutes and firm abs as an unitended benefit :) I'm always tickled when I read these stories. I'm chasing an albatross p

Zero-calorie vices really are better for aging gracefully. A 30-minute brisk walk may burn 200 calories, but calorie math is easier said than done. You don't have to lose the weight/calories if you do not gain the weight/calo
