There are quite the number of fitness bands and watches that can do this too for android. No reason you cant set up a device to the opposite partners phone.

The Jumanji sequels. You are going to take a cult classic and “revive” it by changing the premise to be a video game? Stupid. But, it was much better than it should have been.

The lack of specificty is also a strategy used to bolster support for deregulation.

Simply say “we are eliminating regulations” , and dont ever talk about what you are deregulating, because actually many regulations are a net good for society and were implemented for a reason. Preventing companies from dumping poison is a regulation.

Im going to say the Harvard estimate is probably pretty close. It is probably a bit higher than what you would need on a day to day basis for survival, but enough to help your body maintain some muscle over the long term.

Its not enough for someone wanting to be fit or muscular though.

That diet doctor recommendation feels wildly high for a “what is actually necessary” request. Like 2 g/kg is near the target for bodybuilders.

It might be a good idea for many people to hit that to maximize muscle development in preparation for aging (where muscle deterioration is chief concern), but not a good estimate for anyone who isnt worried about that.

They also say two further things which ding their credibility:

First is this comment: “Because there appears to be a limited amount of protein that can be absorbed at a meal, it may be best to evenly space out your protein throughout the day, if possible.”

This is not really a concern even for bodybuilders. You dont need to overthink spacing.

Second is the comment about vegetarians/vegans. Protein intake is not a huge concern for the average vegetarian, if you are not aiming for that unnecessarily high target - as long as they are regularly including some protein in their meals (soy, beans, nuts, eggs). Even for non-vegetarians, that higher target requires you to monitor of your protein intake to hit it regularly with overeating.

In general, I disagree with you. I think the two things you fixated on (souless architecture and rentals) are bad approaches to density, but you will notice that for the most part, this is the form of “density” that places who are notoriously bad at density do. Its what happens when we deliberately regulate ourselves into not allowing other options.

There is a pretty crazy amount of “density” in well bit, low rise structures - though actually I dont personally hate on towers as a concept.

Also, i would like to highlight that a very small portion of people are living in newly built homes, and only a small portion are really able to make meaningful design impact. Most just buy the builder-grade suburban model home. The idea that suburban single family homes are some design panacae is just wrong.

…no, they won’t know for a few hundred years due to the actual speed of light and vast distances of space.

I’d also say, the fundamental point of it (that finite cost in life is worth the chance at infinite reward or avoiding infinite punishment) is pretty abysmal morally. Pretty easy to justify atrocities for any concept of God that way as a rational approach to life.

This is really the primary death knell for the argument. Yes, there billions and billions of “god” variations - but at least believing in one might get you a (near-zero) better chance at a decent afterlife.

…until you realize the category of “Gods who dont want your worship”.

This is a quite a bit of handwringing over what is probably nothing:

• Kids have been playing war, battle, or fighting games during recess since recess started. I guarantee you can spend 1 recess at any school and see at least one set of kids playing some game which is fundamentally violent fantasy.
• As far as exposure - no offense but we are so far off kids never seeing violent imagery.
• But, most importantly, these are also likely a sourced by handful of kids who are teaching other kids to play it that way. That’s what kids do. I can think of several personal memories of my experience in elementary school where “Kid X” taught me something that, in retrospect, that kid probably shouldn’t know yet. The spread of knowledge in children is immensely effective.

You do realize “ban TikTok” was originally a Trump initiative right?

He, Andrew Ferguson

He has stated intentions to ease his predecessor’s scrutiny of business mergers and acquisitions, while continuing critical oversight of big tech platforms.

Expect continued increased in costs if goods.

Yup, that he is anything but a downgrade from Lina khan for consumer protection in the FTC is super wrong.

Was learning about the requirements it be a baker in Germany - something like 3 years of school to work at a bakery, 6 years to own one. Crazy.

Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word “Unsubscribe”.

If only sex was as simple as a selection of gametes. There is a wide range of chromosomal, hormonal, genitalia, and physiological variation in human sex characteristics, and it is much more common than you think. And that is ignoring much more subtle variation and overlap between the sexes - cognitive, emotional, psychological - that are just as much a part of the natural variation of human sex as any other.

And before you come back with an argument about some rhetoric about “conditions” or what ever - all of evolution starts as a rare variation that becomes common in a certain population. Certain eye colors are nearly the same rarity.

Finally, there are plenty of animals that have individuals that do not reproduce. Examples are naked mole rats. We aren’t a eusocial species, but it isn’t to say we don’t have some very early characteristics of it.

Money. Donate. There isn’t a near term world where money won’t matter in giving you a voice, so you should use it.

Limited visibility, limited comprehension, limited attention, and limited risk aversion.
