That is quite an apt description of the plight of current millenials. That and declining birthrates, perhaps they are inextricably linked?

Even more reason not to use alcohol mouthwash, interesting. I did not previously use it just for the fact it dries your mouth and that exacerbates bad breath.

>And why pray tell, should I disregard cancer specialist

Not doing such a thing, your words were directly "someone I know who doesn't smoke or drink and was sub-40 years old got diagnosed with tongue cancer." -- which is different from your words here where you link a study -- and I appreciate you for doing.

I mean, you are making a jump from correlation to causation. There is a reason science does not use anecdotes and relies on statistics, p values, and, confidence intervals.

That being said, did you happen to know what ingredients were in play, since he was using the same product for ~>20 years it sounds like, maybe the carcinogen landscape was much more under researched that long ago? I mean leaded gas was still sold in the US 'til 96 -- even though theres just so much evidence of it being harmful to the nth degree.

If you enter the world of sleep apnea treatments its kind of actually quite common. The alternative sometimes is using head gear apparatus and look like darth vader. I mean even for fighting mouth breathing during sleep its been recommend.

It's got great shortcut usage going for it -- which makes me think of vim/emacs and the learning curves therein.

Reminds me of a wolfenstein map that was basically small humans in a large room. Honey shrunk the kids vibe.

This carries over to social anxiety as well -- you tend to overthink what people think and such -- the more you do things the better you naturally get from experience as well.

I think so too, a split keyboard on either side of hips would seem better.

As long as there are stressed and/or gullible people, there is an avenue for these "smart scams".

I distinctly remember getting junk spam physical mail as a kid, saying if you send back $60 dollars they will share the method to work from home / easy money scheme. It feeds on desperation and stress to hinder rational decision making skills.

We also have things like the lottery where people buy in to the idea theres a infintismely small chance to actually win but the emotional side of the brain takes over and ignores it.

Not to pew pew your suggestion, but apparently sleep, diet, and, exercise effect test levels as well, so more things to check at and rule out before committing to lifelong trt. Although I keep reading testomonials where people say they don't mind jabbing or applying creams.

Also test levels vary drastically during the day in a two peak fashion, when you get tested can affect results in a misleading fashion.

Any tips on what type of therapist (psychologist, therapist, counsellor, etc.) and/or treatment you found effective? Sounds like talk therapy -- but did you go through other stuff as well?

Hold on a second though, I read that certain job levels get skipped if you have a masters or a phd for some companies when hiring. For where the field of study matches the company wouldn't that be quite valuable? Also cost of a masters where I live (Canada) is a lot less than America, but maybe comparable to Europe?

Heat adaption is a real thing. I understand even if you start going to the sauna your body changes physologically.

Isn't this a quite an annoying thing to setup? IRL Live streamers have these backpacks and they seem needed to be battery powered and quite bulky.

The problem is the best thing to detoxify is your bodies organs and healthy function of them should be priority numero uno.

I think fad diets are the terrority where it gets a bit unreasonable (juice cleanses?). Chakra/Qi cleanses?

The people vested in using lead in fuel said so out of profit motive, but it seems lead was widely known to be harmful for hundreads of years [0] before it was using it fuel.

I experienced factory throttling on my Thinkpad as well, its a T470p (intel) and I was able to reduce temperature by ~7-10 degrees by undervolting the cpu a teensy bit (and cpu cache as well I think). People recommended re-applying thermal paste but I got enough gains out of undervolting.

Sorry, and thanks for correcting my guideline breaking. I am a stranger in strange lands...

I brought it up because its an easy way to bring a moral rightousness example on hckernews. Perhaps more merit to the idea one should think of how ones word are received without context. To me as a casual reader here its like the space and tab holy war, except actually real. I don't dislike vegans per say as eat 80% vegetarian for health reasons.

Is it presumptuous to assume you are vegan and took offense? If so, could you share some viewpoints on your decision if you are?

I am going to reply to you genuinely... but not like you will read it :/

You have lots of snark in your original reply you may have missed. I'm talking mother in law (MIL) levels of passive aggressiveness. The sort of bullying done by being positive, like hiding a knife in a cake.

You may have not intended for it to come off that way, but that's the wonder of the internet, context is lost and pitchforks are primed.

The OP seems to be just invested in the stance that the system exists and status quo is okay dokay -- Even I disagree with that viewpoint and feel like this can boxed up as ezpz PR by helping the repo recover stars and "thank" them for testing the grey areas in the UX. Or OP just really doesn't disagree with systems where, yes you can shoot yourself in the foot, but hey, just push the responsibility on the user and wash your hands clean (Lady Macbeth should have done this). Arguing this opens a pandora box of other requests might be from his experience, so I can't really pew pew that since it might have increased his workload previously, but certain people get priority/hidden privileges more than others everyone on social meda (e.g. famous people are verified faster) and it's not really out of the ordinary.

He is norwegian anyway, and I am previously familiar with them in their natural habitat[0] and can empathize with them on this viewpoint. Regardless, it's a pretty popular mindsent among the programmer crowd, that systems must be respected and learned and its heresy otherwise, victim blaming is commonplace. RTFM and PEBKAC. But honestly you can't always 'git push --force' your problems away, and at the end of the day here, you will be penalized with downvotes for this sometimes going against the grain -- but whenever there is a zeitgeist of common sense (e.g. Amazon warehouse threads or other PIP dog pilling) people realize this and turn the dial back, but ultimately holding a moral position of kindness/goodwill needs a lot more wordcraft to avoid getting downvoted in the field.

Interesting. I'm kind of shocked at how much one-family dwelling there is. I would love to see expansion to Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam as there is a ton of commuting population that ingress and egress to Vancouver.

Would you spare the author 6 months of his life and share what that would accomplish? I mean sure, take a plane ride and turn your clock back xy years but that's not relevant once you arrive back. We want trendlines with a fixed country. You can do meta analysis across countries after.

Not sure why you got such a negative reaction. This is basic 101 holding a investment portfolio (I hope I have it right [1]), the more all in the upper right (higher std dev) of this graph, the higher risk, the more bananas you'll lose in your basket if things go, proverbially, tits up. Diversifying is a tool/shield against this by minimizing risk against reward.

I am torn. If someone is holding a "ruining peoples lives" chunk in their portfolio, it's not a diversified one -- and it leads to a good life lesson. And if ones all in the stock market and it crashes -- surely you should not victim blame, because there is a road to redemption (just weather the storm), and it's really not their fault. Nobody can predict wether the number goes up or down reliably in the short term, yada yada. However given the nature of crypto landscape wrt. scams, attacks, takeovers, thefts, I can't help but say "buyer beware" and "it's a wild wild west out here".

I mean, you must agree it is good advice in hindsight to not hold all your eggs in one basket in this case. I do.

>* Giving criminals and scammers the ability to exchange goods and services anonymously.

I don't see how this is any different than the bog standard "encryption lets criminals and scammers the ability to exchange goods and services anonymously.". Should money/txns be fundamentally track-able/examinable/un-encrypted but your private data/messages not?

Surely this contention is something you also consider -- care to expand?

>* Convincing older and gullible people to give their money to someone they don't know and a technology they can't explain

I am surprised. My initial viewpoint was why would scammers bother to fish for bitcoin when bank transfers/gift cards are a lower barrier -- but seems you are right [1], the cat and mouse chase continues...

Topical may imply temporary, which may have struck a chord with you, but this brings a genuine curiosity to the burning question, what are the conditions if any for returning to normal? I chuckle as I write this as living in western Canada, we just recently got the public place mask mandate removed so it's back to "normal" for some people even more, except we are dealing with record high inflation across the board (lumber too) -- c'est la vie...

Like, there have been mini-pandemics in the past (Spanish Flu is one I read a bit about), how do we "win" against it instead of just "minimize damage"? Herd immunity? Given headlines like OP, it makes one pause to think.

> retirees bring nothing of real value to the economy.

Sure they may not be producing anything, but is there any value to the idea they consumers still? A lot of FIRE philosophy is you work hard so you can earn retirement early too -- people aren't going to work all their lives either, there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. It is saddening that it may not be the case for many.

This is a great project! I have, over the years accumulated a bunch of bookmarks (exported format) and haven't found an easy way to save "snapshots" for them. This fits my use case perfectly without having to roll out my own tool.

That's fair how about Tampermonkey -- I use it occasionally to apply js/css/html fixups to sites, e.g. Add browser titles to sites for better bookmarks, re-organize/add site html, etc. I did use it for removing content but ublock origin is much better imo for most cases.

> Living is unhealthy.

Tips fedora.

In all seriousness, I think there's obvious medical definitions for unhealthy in regards to addictions, weight, etc. Let's not philosophize some libertarian defense of something that obviously restricts and constricts one's freedom -- the ability to move an inch without your joints buckling.

I can sympathise with you if you have suffered from anti-fat bullying and adopt defensive attitudes in reaction -- but what the hell am I reading.

Isn't there catch-it-early type diseases? Like breast cancer, testicular cancer, colon cancer, etc... that prove this wrong?

The funny thing is, the older you get, you are likely to have some sort of symptom. Such is life.

For blood pressure, I would expand and add general bloodwork for health conscious individuals or people with a family history for certain issues -- diabetes, liver, androgen, heart health markers.. Here in Canada you just need to mention you are interested for health reasons and a doctor refers you -- not sure how costly it is in USA -- but apparently private clinics are a choice to build custom panels.
