Matthew Hill offers a great interview on Andrew Huberman's podcast - https://open.spotify.com/episode/26PR93gyNcs8YPlQ9dypW3?si=V...

As someone who's used cannabis regularly for over a decade, I tried to start to explain in this body my experience but every sentence written ends with me deciding, "that's too circumstantial to my lifestyle-physiology to include."

I think at the end of the day, empirical research's purpose is to get us closer to being able to just make our own decisions surrounding mind-altering drugs. Beyond that, cannabis affects a great deal of systems in our body concurrent to the rest of our environment's effects. Use your autonomy to determine if it's a positive or a negative for you. Don't drive fucked up, please.

odinthedog··on Netflix buffering issues: Boxing fans complain about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson
Does anyone have any thoughts besides "bad engineering" on what could've gone wrong? It seems like taking on a new endeavor like streaming an event that would possibly draw many hundreds of millions of viewers doesn't make sense. Is there any obvious way that this would just work, or is there obviously a huge mistake deeply rooted in the whole thing. Also, are there any educated guesses on some fine details in the codebase and patterns that could result in this?
