You need some qualifiers. Google is very good at engineering. For example, I hate that Google uses my data to serve ads, but there isn't a tech company I would trust more to safe guard my data. Where Google has fallen down is trying to

Yeah, bailing out bank depositors is nowhere near the same as forgiving a loan. The bank failed as it should and depositors were made whole as they should. I'm not sure how this has any bearing on forgiving student loans.

Meat is one of the primary sources of dietary creatine, but still provides overall very little (~2g/pound of uncooked red meat). There isn't much to make up for in a non-meat eater and the 5g should still be fine.

That seems like a lot to take daily. Most studies have settled on loading isn’t needed and 5g/day is enough. I just take 5g/day with my morning coffee/water.

I agree with you 100%. You gotta find what works for you. Also the 80/20. I do IF, but I'm not going to skip brunch with friends.

Agreed that it's mostly mental. Missing a meal isn't starvation, and the body/mind adapt. I do IF and do most of my physical activity before my first meal every day. It was hard at first, but now it's when I have the mos

You're not reducing to zero. I IF most of the time and have the most energy before my first meal of the day.

My knee and back was years ago, so probably the 1.5T. No idea on my dogs who have had the more recent MRIs. Their scans are incredibly detailed though, so maybe the 3T?

I've written software that solved business problems in everything from Visual Basic to C++. The end result can include the things you list, but typing in the code to me is down the list of importance.

Sort of, but the speed at which I can see results and the ability to quickly get unstuck does pull me in more than just coding. While I find both enjoyable, I'm more of a 'end result' person than a 'likes to the type in

Yeah, it's frustrating that it seems most AI conversations devolve into straw men of either zero AI or one shot apps. There's a huge middle ground where I, and it seems like many others, have found AI very useful. We're still

This sounds like a Fox News fever dream. Even if we assume there are tons of jobless immigrants being ‘imported’ they would be renters, not buyers. Generally, house pricing is primarily a supply problem. Removing immigrants will make this

Of course things happen sometimes. But, the cartels typically do not want to mess with Americans, particularly in tourist areas, because that brings heat they don't want. It's literally bad for business.
