What? Body inflammation in the modern world is of course impacted by diet and exercise.

Yeah I see chronic inflammation as a sign someone isn't particularly disciplined when it comes to diet or exercise. There's likely some correlation with being undisciplined with your physical health and being undisciplined when it

I'm not really seeing where the racial diversity is in Australia. The 2021 census data shows majority of Australians are White/European and then some Chinese/Indian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demograp

No its not Literally says "Subsidized and Unsubsidized Aggregate Loan Limit $31,000-No more than $23,000 of this amount may be in subsidized loan" Just confirms most people have no clue how small the limits actually are.

yeah, and we're talking about federal loans here. the government is not on the hook if a student defaults on a private loan. the critique was that tax payers were somehow on the hook for most undergraduate costs when $31k over 4 years

how is it misleading? most undergrads are considered dependent, which means they can only borrow $31k in total over 4 years. beyond that they would need to tap alternative sources.

it's $8k a year. that wouldn't even cover rent for a school year at this point. i think a lot of people seem to believe that the federal government is handing out $50k+ a school year when theres a very small limit. people who need

Eh I think the impact of the federal government on undergraduate costs is largely overstated. The limits for dependent students, which is most undergrads, is really small over 4 years. https://studentaid.gov/understand-aid&#

They aren't claiming Bitcoin is a security. In fact they've made it pretty clear Bitcoin and maybe ETH are not. They are claiming a bunch of the newer cryptos like SOL are, though.

You're still exaggerating. Streeteasy says median for Bushwick is $3200. Zumper has it at $2850 for a 1 bedroom https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/new-york-ny/bushwick Yes, it's possible to rent for ch

You're suggesting paying $1600/mo for your own place is a really good area of NYC is more the norm than paying $5k? That's simply untrue. Average 1 beds on Zumper for all of Manhattan is $4k. In more central areas downtown it

A "booming" NYC is not necessarily a purely positive thing. SF and NYC used to be fairly comparable as far as cost of living goes but now renting in SF is comparable to a dozen other metros (eg. $3k for a 1 bed, under $4k for a 2

Which is why my main theory if it ends up being accidental is that this person purposefully climbed up a ledge they weren’t supposed to climb to take skyline photos. I’ve seen dozens of “daredevil” images on social media where people climb

Yes could have been a drunken fall, or someone who climbed up a ledge to try to take some nighttime photos and tripped which I’ve seen plenty of times on social media especially in NYC.

there’s no indication it was an intentional jump. the article says no note or video and that they found handprints, meaning at some point this person was hanging on a ledge. so it is misleading to say he “jumped” if it ends up being an acci
