Wow that's so interesting. What problems were you experiencing with peripheral nerves? I have also developed these problems recently. I had a colonoscopy where I had to chug a bunch of polyethylene glycol and after that I've had f

Would you mind disclosing who the doctor was? I have been dealing with this for years and it's been wreaking havoc on my personal and professional lives. Doctors in my area are not familiar with my condition and don't have a solut

Your comment just inspired a flurry of research on my end which resulted in purchasing a $200 air-fryer pressure-cooker combo (highly unusual behavior for my scrupulous self). Expecting good things to come and ultra excited for it. Any tips

I believe that my mother may be suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. It seems to have plagued all of the women in her ancestral family lineage, and she is therefore well aware that she will likely inherit it. Because

If your assumption that people are having less children because of a shift of the sense of responsibility in the modern era--then the counter-narrative could then be built that the birthrate could potentially rebound in a future where autom

Surgery is an option for those who are not obese, despite what you may have been told or read. Worth looking into, however, only few surgeons in the world are properly trained to specifically to diagnose and treat the very delicate upper ai

Ha! That's the most difficult question of all and there is not one best answer; it's highly contextual based on the individual's circumstance. The goal is to eradicate the bacteria; this is usually achieved through antibiotic

Also worth noting that bruxism is correlated with gut dysbiosis and parasitic gut infections which may be otherwise hard to pin down. In my case bruxism was a notable symptom of the severity of my SIBO—an infiltration of the small intestine

You can try a few mouth guards that can be purchased off of Amazon which may work to varying degrees based on the cause of your sleep apnea. From my experience this[0] model had the best results. These type of mouth guards tend to work if y

I thought this article was going to point out that something had been discovered that challenged our belief about the way light influences our own circadian rhythm—nope! Dark mode for me is imperative, since I use my devices at night, and w

I couldn't agree more; I think part of the appeal of the right is somewhat dogmatic in that most of the sticking points are very fundamental and the messaging is very straightforward; guns, religion, family, low taxes. What does the le

Ah sorry, I meant the previous city council, who had been doing a good job it seemed like at balancing the city's growth with the social problems that were becoming more evident at the time.

Yeah, I don't know. The left needs to hold a mirror to themselves and realize that they are more and more becoming just a mirror-image of the right. The idea to "just let it all burn" is just so Trumpian. What the left hates

Homelessness is a complex problem which I believe namely stems from psychological and substance abuse disorders. I think there is likely a relationship between the amount of income inequality in a society and the amount of homelessness. I d

Yes, I'm personally very worried about this as someone who is heavily invested in the real estate market here. The issue of how to deal with the rapid growth in the city is multifaceted and it's difficult to pitch a stance on. At

This is an interesting idea. On the one hand I'm outraged by what the protesters are doing and want to see them brought to justice. The idea of using mobile location data to retroactively find who the looters are and persecute them for

I think there's some truth in this, I don't know. We don't see other billionaires being so inappropriately outspoken on these matters. Further, he has a cult-like following that's rare even for billionaires; because of t

Yeah, watching his attitude regarding the entire COVID situation on his recent appearance of the Joe Rogan show really ended the lifelong bout of respect I had for the man. He's paradoxically so brilliant yet so misinformed. His idea t

As someone who's invested pretty heavily in real estate over the last few years (Seattle) I sometimes ponder if we are all eventually destined to a fate similar to that of Japan's. It seems to me that the US is only a superpower b

I had heard of this before, but didn't know that screensavers were designed to prevent that damage from happening. In this case, the bouncing DVD logo seems like an odd choice, as the way it's designed, there are certain pixels on

I can understand the naivete of Americans on the receiving end of this, like Walker or the president of the town for just being lured in by the idea "investment => profit". Foxconn however is obviously much more sophisticated a

I'm trying to be a good bayesian reasoner here but the particulars of this specific case are all so tangled and piecemeal. The conspiracy theorists among us are having an absolute field day with the current events and it's easy to

Wow. This story was mind blowing. I don't understand how a small town can borrow against a state's future tax earnings? Why are Wisconsin's taxpayers on the hook for the stupid mistakes of these council members? Also the stor

It depends on the context.. For example, I use an invoicing web app that stores previously created invoices indefinitely in localStorage. This gives me the benefit of not having to manage login credentials and keeping everything client-side

Being an Airbnb host was already becoming borderline unprofitable in my metropolitan area (Seattle) as they are marketing very heavily here resulting in a glut in short-term rental housing-supply. This drove the nightly rate I could command

After reading a bit more, maybe it's not such a panacea. Seems like it's standard of care, but may not help patients who have advanced symptoms; and, obviously, does not prevent infection. Therefore it may not stop us from imposin

I suppose that may be the case. But let me play devil's advocate against it. Markets are supposed to price in values from expected future returns. Since this is "a cure", there should be positive sentiment for the future econ

I don't really understand the briefing here; so would taking exogenous ketones also help mirror the beneficial effects of ketosis seen in this study? They did mention feeding their participants exogenous ketones but didn't say any
