No, it's more like arguing a Miata will fit the same need as a GT3 at 1/20th the cost. Some people don't fit a Miata, but it's still a valid option for many. Though I am at a sub-clinical dose (not a microdose) I'm

I've been on Mounjaro and find it pretty inexpensive, but I'm using a high-dose pen for a low-dose injection. One 15mg pen is going to last me around 6 months at my current rate, so around 15 euros per week.

I have no clue, just relating my experience. As far as I know it’s not discussed amongst peers unless there’s a very strong bond.

I would have literally bought a mini if not for the daft screen and lack of button. Bought a Smart Fortwo instead, happy camper with all my tactile interfaces.

I have a good few friends doing research in the social sciences in Europe and any of them that doesn’t self-censor ‘forbidden’ conclusions risks taking irreperable career damage. Data is routinely scrubbed and analyses modified to hide reve

We agree, which makes me question your original point with the power tool somehow being different even more. Every automation gives more leverage to capital over labour. That's the history of technology. Downstream it makes this great

In that case I really don't understand how you conclude there's any difference between being on the bottom or the top of the tool. The bare reality is the same: Skilled labourers will be replaced by automation. Woodworking tools (

Have you heard of the Luddites I wonder?

You know what they mean. Full self-driving was promised what, 10 years ago? Tesla Roadster? Sub-25K car? etc etc etc

I dislike Tesla/Elon but would prefer the reality where they innovate until their worth matches their current price. I suspect yours is more likely to happen.

Rather, lack of. Melatonin is over-the-counter, generic, badly understood by the people taking it and dosed according to personal preference which means marketing it is all abouy big numbers. Bigger number on package = more sales.

No, I have plenty of friends who are not making enough (and could be making double) but due to being risk-averse and relatively content stay in low-paid jobs. Only a crisis moves certain people from their comfort spot.

I find a lot of people work at a certain place for the social life, and the money comes second. Including some surprisingly high performers.

It's malice, not stupidity. They know people will click stuff that says sitting is good. Sounds controversial just to think about it.

Get a better hourly wage. About an hour of my month pays for all of my entertainment and software subscriptions. Another couple of hours pay for a year of iPhone. Coffee? Another hour per month maybe? We are worlds apart in our arithmetic a

Yes let us wait for an optimal aesthetic solution for another 50 years while we choke on our own fumes. Plenty of time to rearrange the deck chairs.

That goddamn baby level though. I could strangle the person who stuffed that messy labyrinthic pile of crap into my John Woo-esque shooter.

It's a lot easier to double-check, cross-reference, or test the validity of advice given by a gpt. It has no authority, no persuasion mechanisms, and its opinions are there in plain text ready to be picked apart. You can ask it for ref

Since I'm nitpicking let me point out that powerlifters train for strength. Power is an altogether different (though related to a degree) muscular/neurological characteristic. Power would be more closely related to olympic weightl

It’s worth noting that muscle is not all the same. If you’re just into bodybuilding then sure, proximity to failure is what matters. For athletics though, there still seems to be a big impact in the rep range you work in.

I could never get into the New Yorker. It has always felt to me like every piece is deliberately drawn out. They take you to the precipice of something interesting only to pull back into an origin story, over and over again. I think it&#x27

I’m the same age and also read C&H voraciously. Looking back I was (to a point) blueprinted on the kid, but mostly by virtue of being a single child, smart and alienated from most of my peers at school. I wish Susie gave me the time of

GLP-1’s should make you less concerned in that case, they’re poised to become extremely affordable very soon. Ending the obesity epidemic will do more to bridge the class divide than anything I can practically imagine. Not to mention the ot

I’m about to go to the cinema so I can’t find you references, but there’s a lot of anecdotal evidence at least of glp1’s curbing all sorts of addictive behaviour. I personally started Mounjaro last week and my coffee cravings have gone way,

Some white-collar professionals enjoy continuing their work past retirement age. It can be stimulating, high-leverage, and I have often seen them contributing at key moments without spending much time at the office. The accumulated wisdom a

Happy to have provided. I’m not an AI bull and not in any way invested in the U.S. economy besides a little money in funds, but I do try to think about the war of today vs the war of yesterday. Hopefully that’s always en vogue.

There’s one key difference in my opinion: pre-.com deals were buying revenue with equity and nothing else. It was growth for growth’s sake. All that scale delivered mostly nothing. OpenAI applies the same strategy, but they’re using their e

Heliotherapy is well-due for a resurgence. One of my favourite youtubers (conquer aging or die trying) has a great interview with a medical doctor about sunlight as a medical intervention. Well worth the watch: https://m.youtube.
