well in this case it seems like Alphabet is finally getting more disciplined around spending when it comes to all these unprofitable “moonshots” that have largely gone nowhere. i don’t think Google has announced layoffs yet.

total revolving consumer credit aka credit card debt is a straight line up going to hit $1 trillion soon for the first time. seems not great in face of high interest rates. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CCLACBW027S

They got caught in the hype and lost a lot of money. Apple has many times. I don’t know why this is suddenly a conspiracy that some mega cap tech firms used cheap debt to buy back their stock. It’s not. It’s actually the primary way that th

i didn’t say every company was. this is mostly true of the mega cap companies. and it’s not misleading at all. Apple and Meta are both known to sell bonds aka taking on debt for the primary purpose of buying back their own stock. that doesn

you’re confusing cause and effect. tech valuations have come down because the Fed has raised rates which long duration stocks like growths tech cos are extremely sensitive to. when borrowing money becomes more expensive, these companies can

Unless you are seriously actively avoiding it I would be highly skeptical your average person actually avoids seed oil in their everyday eating because it’s in almost everything packaged and used at almost all restaurants/take out plac

I’m reading yet another example of the benefits of a low or no seed oil diet is reducing chances of a sun burns. General idea is that because polyunsaturated fats are highly unstable when heated/exposed to oxygen that a person with hig

the market is two steps ahead of economic data. if you believed inflation was rapidly coming down now it would not be the time to get bearish on stocks

Unemployment numbers don’t include people who are not of retired age but have chosen to stop looking for work The share of prime working aged men who aren’t working and not looking for work is historically high.

Yeah that’s not what I mean. I mean make it a policy to not allow people to have their phones out in class. You can also block certain sites on school WiFi networks. I’m sure some schools already have something like this already. I don’t me

This is really silly. Putting the onus on kids to fight the addictive cues created by sophisticated social media companies that actively work to make their products even more addictive is absolutely not the right way to address it. Though I

i don’t know anything about the other issues facing the school but to say social media addiction is a “dumb” thing to address seems incredibly naive to me. growing up is hard enough as it is and social media absolutely can be detrimental to

you will be able to claim deductions immediately and owe less taxes than a single person making the same. plus you get double the standard deduction. in that case you will really pay very few taxes even if you save very little in a 401k or

by tempsy 4y ago
this doesn’t factor in the $12k deduction and saving in a tax shielded 401k or IRA though which should both dramatically reduce adjusted income come tax time plus tax advantages you get when you are married and have dependents

if you make under $50k-$70k a year do you not pay very little?

it doesn’t really matter though because they all share the same common characteristics that make them unhealthy…eg high polyunsaturated fat content that easily degrades in high heat.

It’s not really a gotcha. Seed oil isn’t a perfect term but if the oil comes from some seed that requires an extensive chemical process to extract, refine, and deodorize it’s a being referenced as a “seed oil” here. Coconut oil is not that.

ok why is deep frying inherently “unhealthy”? it’s because most fried foods are fried repeatedly in vegetable oils that degrade over repeated use. there’s nothing inherently unhealthy about fried potatoes fried in beef tallow outside watchi

75% is not almost all…plenty of local Californian higher end brands that I find difficult to believe is half soybean oil. Just don’t buy the cheap private label stuff.

that’s only true for a store bought dressing, which frankly no one should ever really buy if you are health conscious. there is no “real” homemade dressing recipe that has seed oil in it.

you just linked to a well know “pro seed oil” twitter troll (had no idea that was a thing) but needless to say he is not an unbiased source

if you’re already aware how easily vegetable oils can turn bad with heat why bother using them at all when there’s so many better options these days.

by tempsy 4y ago
excessive sugar consumption is bad, agreed, but vegetable oil is awful for very specific reasons that have nothing to do with macros.

Who is using seed oils unheated? There’s almost zero use cases for that. You could maybe argue store bought salad dressings but any real homemade or high quality dressing is not going to be made with canola or sunflower oil but most likely
