I find it interesting that I scrolled through this whole thread and there has been little if any discussion of excessively poor health care in the United States. Also, things like how when people develop type 2 diabetes, the solution is oft

'I'm not sure if they expect you to slide into another dimension, but a loud, sharp c-word generally jolts them out of their idiocy.' Thanks for the entirely accurate and entertaining read. There are definitely many c-words a

you cite "very clear case of wrong doing like the George Floyd case," but the only reason that is clear is because of civilian video recording. Here is how the police described it in the official MPD report: "Two officers ar

Seems a bit extreme. Plenty of people (younger people especially) prefer living in a city regardless of where they work.

The posted article is hardly "data" (at most, one poorly defined data point) and most of the questions here are pointing to how little information the article offers from which to draw conclusions-- for instance, what does "s

Sounds better than typical but not "cherry-picked" either, for the people treated-- of 125 patients: >She added: “Most of our patients are severe and most of them are leaving at six days, so that tells us duration of therapy do

fair point, I did miss that further down in the section. It's still unfortunate to lead with a generalization that plays into a common trope/assumption about developers that does play out in the hiring process, but it's good

Some good questions in here, with one exception: > Programmers are unique. They're one of the few professions where outside the boundaries of their working hours they choose to do the same exact thing they do at work: programming. H

This, precisely. Maybe we find better treatment (especially treatment that reduces the incidence of patients needing hospitalization or ventilators). Maybe we get testing technology widespread enough that we don't have to treat everyon

Yes exactly -- it's two different sources of information that one party is not likely to have access to. Severity from a technical-only perspective is important to have. The sense of whether something is easy to fix (which should be si

I'm sorry I gave this entitled drivel the benefit of a click. It's just a rant about how much more important his time is than everyone else's (flouncing on a dentist's office running behind and then crediting it with nev

It is true that if employers are offering RSUs selectively, the assumption would be that they would offer them to people they wanted to incentivize not to leave the company until after the vesting period at the earliest. However, it offers

Fun fact, there is also a Vonnegut-themed restaurant in Indy named after Bluebeard.

Some companies use this kind of screen more as a way to filter out people who aren't adequately interested in the company/job to put in the effort on the testing -- so perhaps in some cases it is working as designed.

An interesting related question -- can refrigerator design help to address this issue? We have one of those side-by-side fridges with more shelf depth than shelf width. The design results in food getting pushed far back where it is easy to

This average increase mark is obviously very useful and important, but there's another dimension to add on to that when it comes to temperature trends. In the Twin Cities, for instance, the altered jet stream has greatly increased both

There could be a few different things at play. I'd try a bit of sea (or himalayan etc) salt and see if that helps. Otherwise, perhaps you really are just hungry and need to eat. Many people doing IF do larger meals with minimal snackin

Yes, I went a couple years doing a very easy 14:10 fast, which was easy to maintain and is what I credit for stabilizing my blood sugar, which used to crash all the time (especially bonking during bike rides). My body now is fine exercising

I've been doing IF since 2014 and still haven't managed to get much past 24 hours -- partly admittedly for lack of trying -- I can't imagine trying to do an extended fast (more than 24 hours) only a few weeks in. You need mor

I'm shocked by how often my "hunger" goes away after a cup of hot coffee or tea, or water with himalayan salt added. Part of it I'm sure is the action of getting up and getting myself something, though salt craving feeli

Definitely agree with the dietary (lower carb, higher healthy fat) advice but it's also helpful to ease into it -- benefits of fasting start at just 12 hours, so if you stop eating a little earlier and start eating a little later every

Have you heard of POTS? I wonder if electrolyte imbalance was/is driving some of your symptoms. Doing low-ish carb (nowhere near keto) and IF 18 hours a day, I have to supplement electrolytes or else I have very similar symptoms to you

If soil indeed has anti-inflammatory properties, that would make a whole lot of sense.

I think a human carcass that could have been saved with food or water is much more offensive litter than a water bottle, but YMMV.

This would seem a weird answer indeed if you don't have context -- which is that VSCode (Microsoft) is developed with native handling of Typescript (Microsoft) -- so is somewhat of the standard in that regard.

In order to even consider the problem in terms of savings though, we first have to get to a place where 78% of American workers are not living paycheck to paycheck. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019&#x

Me too, since keto wisdom is that highly processed oils (e.g. seed and "vegetable" oils) should be eliminated, presumably from some hormonal impact, but I've never seen any research on that. It's not hard to avoid canola
