Yeah, it’s bizarre. The topic of diet has a lot in common with religion. The research is so murky and poorly conducted and everything is a contradiction, so people have a tendency to just pick a “team” and form beliefs around that. Team Veg

If Bitcoin continued its 2017 growth rate for 5 more years, the market cap of Bitcoin would be about 140 quadrillion dollars, which is about 300x the value of all public and privately owned assets in the entire world.

I got away from someone with BPD after years of trying to help, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’m no longer of the opinion that people with BPD can really be helped. They’re like some form of sociopath, I really don’t t

This drives me crazy. It’s ok if we’re talking about a liquid, I guess, but what is 1 cup of cheese? Or 1 cup of broccoli? 1 cup of walnuts? Using volume for those, the amount you’re actually using can vary by a factor of 10 depending on ho
