If you have a recent sleep apnea diagnosis, get your testosterone checked too. Years of poor sleep will crater your levels and CPAP will not help as much as it should.

I'm with you in spirit but publishers are hardly blameless. SEO optimization and framework bloat made internet browsing downright unpleasant since the late 2000s. Google is delivering a solution to a problem they [indirectly?] created.

Given the track we're on, in 80 years Americans will be extinct and whoever's occupying my current space will be living in the Managed Democracy of Monocolored Benetton. Their kids will be taught that's all it ever was since

What data suggests there is a positive outcome for the first world in integrating with the third world? Because my data suggests we're enthusiastically recreating the conditions that led to the Yugoslav civil wars. And even you know it

All Jews are dual citizens of Israel. Whether or not they've invoked the right to return, access is made available to them by default.

In this case it is fundamentally impossible, since halakha prohibits deliberate targeting of civilians-- but not collateral damage. So if you optimize for collateral damage and all civilian casualties are "accidental," then you ar

My Samsung has "Galaxy AI" all over it, it's just an S23. I've tried to use it out of curiosity and it rejects a lot of my image edits as inappropriate (violence) so the foundation is set.

This is a bit of an oversell on their part. The offenses include: > A 36-year-old woman who had been unlawfully at large for more than 20 years and was wanted for failing to appeal at court for an assault in 2004. > A 31-year-old man

It doesn't matter what the article says. There is no penalty for lying and no incentive to be honest. The media exists to broadcast their lies at scale. Back in the 2000s, upon arrest it was pretty common practice for cops to page thro

It has diminishing returns. Taken continuously you'll only get 5-7 years out of it. One thing I've noticed is that it fuels people with a sense of self-righteousness that will alienate you from everyone around you (you're bas

It's not theater, it's defense against aggrievement. Termination is a traumatic event that threatens your ability to exist or provide for dependents. People [rightfully] don't handle exile well. Someone with an interest in sc

The change is about theft, but I've seen kids fill their cup to the point of submerging the nozzle, then do it again when they go for a refill after drinking it. Self-serve should never have been a thing.
