I’ve long thought this policy will ultimately lead to China going to war and where they once again bring home foreign brides for their soldiers. It’ll make a war with Taiwan palatable for all their young, single, lonely men.

Read a little more carefully…

experience an act of aggression OR be threatened with nukes. The first has occurred… it does not have to include being attacked with nukes.

In middle school I rode my bike to school and stopped by a convenience store most days and bought two packs of gum. At school I sold pieces for 10 cents each and selling one pack paid for both, supporting my habit. It wasn’t big money but I felt like a genius.

My understanding is this is just with sucralose. You can easily validate this yourself with a continuous glucose monitor. Diet sodas have their problems and the one in this article is particularly concerning but they don’t typically trigger insulin responses.

While a novel idea, a leap month would throw the concept seasons and therefore agriculture off significantly. Relatively predictable seasons and being able to track our place in it with calendars was a great help to agrarian communities, helping them know when to plant and harvest most effectively.

That’s nice in theory but reality is if that were happening and people’s vehicles battery charge started going down while they were plugged in at home, they’d unplug. They plugged it in because they wanted to recharge for later, not because they want to help the grid.

Apparently you missed the part where LG says they plan to weave Copilot throughout WebOs and use it “proactively” to assist users and offer content.

Ignoring the app doesn’t keep the AI from spying on you and your household.

A 386 with no hard drive was crazy even then. My first was an 8088 (though technically a NEC v20) with a 5.25" and a 20 MB hard drive

I always wondered about this actually. Why the two radically different pronunciations of “Kansas” between the two states so close to each other.

I’m surprised to see so few of us actually. Thought this was more common.

Also gotta be careful with many of the “keto” products. Using a continuous glucose monitor to test foods, there are definitely many supposed keto products that nonetheless spike blood sugar and breads seem to be the worse category. Definitely worth researching or you might be paying triple the price and still not benefiting from it.

This is exactly what I do but it continuing to be a rarity is it’s best feature I believe. If it were common then hackers would script for detecting the pattern and I’m not sure it’d be any less vulnerable.

Teaching my lady SQL is exactly where the sparks started over 30 years ago. It worked at least once 🙂

Some people are claustrophobic and having a window to look out makes a ton of difference. A middle seat isn’t an option they can handle and while an aisle seat is preferred, a window seat is tolerable provided it actually has a window. Personally I don’t care but knowing someone that is quite claustrophobic, this would be a big deal for them.

Worse than that… they’re probably researching if they can reverse this and make their neighbors racist

Thankfully no. I think they’re more like 5.5-6% currently. Back in 2020 I managed to get a 2.375%.

No, it’s just some exaggeration to make it even more ridiculous. As if 50 years isn’t enough.

What’s really awful is when you see how little the payment lowers between a 30yr and 50yr mortgage with current rates. It’s not nearly as big a difference as you’d think.

Those results are really impressive considering the average age was 90 yrs old. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure your workout regimine but I’ve found compound lifts make for shorter workouts and provide the most benefit as we age, particularly squats, deadlifts and rows.

So many people think their back hurts because they’re old when really their back hurts because it’s weak. I started lifting at 47… that was 8+ years ago. I feel so much better and ache so much less in my 50s than I did in my 40s, and surprisingly you can really add muscle and strength even when you’re older, if you want to push yourself. I never anticipated such gains were possible but working hard combined with eating and sleeping well still pays off.
