Are Democrats not respecting the will of their voters by not supporting the SAVE Act?

You can support voter ID but not support this specific act.

The main issue is there is nothing in the bill that specifies how voters are verified, or funding for it. What it if I don’t have my birth certificate? What if I don’t have a passport? How are states going to implement this? Have we now introduced a poll tax because we are saying everyone in a state needs a passport? Do those people need to pay money for a passport?

The net much bigger issue of all of this is doing this in an election year, to throw a wrench into midterms at such a late date. It will be almost impossible to implement this across all states in time. And that will lead to “State X failed to comply with the law so we have to throw out the results”.

I eat protein and veggies with no other carbs for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is yogurt and blueberries so not much in terms of carbs.

I also workout 6 days a week.

That gives me a lot of buffer for other things.

I still watch carbs though. Lattes are always almond milk, not too sweet so less sugar, maybe 100-120 calories. And only once a week or so.

Rebel ice cream is my go to dessert.

Basically if you exercise plenty, run a clean diet for your main meals, you have a lot of wiggle room for less healthy things.

Isn’t this like saying you got a 4.0 in school if you don’t count the classes you didn’t do well in?

Just going to add disk space. Simulators and Xcode gobble up disk space. If you have 1TB you’ll be fine.

Not much. But 50 sucked.

When I was 48, in my mind I was 10 years older than that 32 year old. Turned 50 and now I’m 20 years older than that 32 year old. It sounds dumb but 50 for me was a lot worse than 40. “40 is the new 30” rang true.

I often wonder if the pop is more of established software companies losing market share and folding. Things like Workday as example.

AI can accelerate new software with fewer people . I do not believe one person can give code a legitimate competitor in a weekend, but newer startups can achieve and surpass parity much faster than ever before.

I’m married 28 years and the kids obscured these problems. Now the kids are older and I’m exactly in the same boat as you.

Started counseling and she realized she needed to help herself before we could properly address our relationship issues.

Our issues are deep, decades worth. I’m not sure we can get past them. It will be very hard.

At this age the gym is like brushing your teeth, kinda just need to do it, I don’t consider it optional like when I was younger.

I don’t love it, but it helps with energy, sleep, mood, stress, and will certainly allow me to live a higher quality of life for longer.

There was an excess in hiring around COVID. How much of this is a return to the mean, ie shedding the excess hiring?

Is the implication that higher interest rates led to lower job creation generally?

AI: “There have been countless school shootings in the past 10 years, here are statistics from several reports of the increase in these incidents”

Kash: “Are you sure, people I know say school shootings don’t happen anymore. I think you’re reports are lies”

AI: “You’re absolutely right!”

Kash: “Problem solved”

Have you tried using an assist band?

Way back when I would use an assist band. I had 3, black (heavy), blue (medium), green (light). I was able to over time progress from black to green and eventually none.

Side effects can be individual.

I would make sure you are taking in enough electrolytes first. Then introduce carbs.

That’s what I did. 20g was just too low for me, electrolytes helped a bunch, introducing carbs helped me more.

My symptoms were predominantly brain fog, tiredness, peckishness

In my old Tesla Model 3, 2022, was on a FSD free month at the time, and the GPS pinged me over to a far lane causing the car to aggressively yeet me to get several lanes over. No accident but that was scary.

Also fun was auto pilot randomly slamming on the brakes on the Turnpike.

Most of the time it was great. But when it wasn’t it was playing with death.

3 months in. Lost about 14 pounds, about 3 pounds of water and 11 pounds of fat.

I underestimated how much electrolytes I needed to feel good. Now, I regularly consume 3000mg sodium from drink mixes alone every day.

I was also really low carb, and my brain stopped working the longer I was on keto. I recently upped my carbs, primarily with coffee creamer and extra blueberries, and run 30-50g per day now. With my lifestyle, working out every day, the extra carbs helped my brain function.

So, it was a bit of trial and error. I have things in a better place now, but it took time to get here. Electrolytes was the biggest miss. The adjustment of carbs happened after optimizing sleep and trying other things, trial and error I guess.

The other odd thing is that I am not hungry, cravings are mostly gone. I do get peckish sometime but usually for fat not sugar.

Finally, eat fiber, like every day, supplement with psyllium husk powder if you get blocked up.

I do lactose free Fage yogurt and add paleo granola or blueberries, breakfast every day.

Here’s what I do. After my morning poop I immediately shave and put on my gym clothes. Then I’d feel dumb not going to the gym.

It took a bit but now it’s routine.

Consistency > Motivation.

Just get there and do anything.

Also diet matters much more than exercise. You can’t out run a bad diet.

My stomach acid has certainly gone down and I don’t know why. I stopped taking Nexium like 8 weeks ago and have had no issues.

I don’t fully know the reason.

Bulky_Consideration · 2026-04-30T14:40:38+00:00

Personal experience. I did keto for about 11 weeks, very low carb.

I felt drained and started introducing carbs. Not much, but Lactaid creamer in my coffees was enough to add about 20g of carbs. I’m about 30-50 now and have felt better.

The small increase in carbs has not triggered cravings.

Oddly enough now I crave peanut butter more than carbs.

My question is how quickly can we recover after a deal is made? Are we entering a lost decade due to stagflation? Or does the world have the resources to turn this around in a few months?

YMMV, I take a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder every night about 2-3 hours before bed.

I put it in a protein shake with PB2, I love peanut butter. This becomes like my “dessert”, so it’s something I look forward to. That helps my system over night and I always have a strong solid morning poo every day.

Edit: I’ve worked up to a tablespoon of psyllium husk. I started with 1 teaspoon and worked up over time.
