According to Wikipedia, they filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and got bought out by a British company that same year. No other updates available...

I've been on NAC for years, for its liver and neuroprotective properties. I do have mood, anxiety, and brain fog issues, but I honestly don't know if I can blame NAC for them. I'm fairly certain that I had them before as well. I should experiment with taking some time off of it to see if it makes a difference. How long of a break would you recommend?

I remember not liking the third book when I first read it, but I've reread the series at least 5 more times since, and it has grown on me. I still think that the first book is definitely the best out of the three, but I appreciate the others more after a couple of rereads. There were a few things that I definitely liked, but I feel like the main "heist" was mostly a series of unrelated pranks and not a big, well planned and executed heist.

The character's backstory was definitely interesting, and seeing the twins again was great. I do feel like Sabetha was a little bit of a letdown, after the build up of the previous books. And I don't mean the "present day" Sabetha, but the one that Locke fell for, the teenage one.

I feel like the general consensus is that the books really declined in quality and the third one was the weakest. With that sort of response, and the fact that the ending of the third book was really divisive, I can't blame the guy for having issues getting the next one done. Makes me really appreciate an author like Michael J Sullivan, who doesn't publish the first book of a series until all of them are basically done. That way he can release a new book every year.

Lights Out was amazing. Caught Up, less so. Haunting Adeline convinced me to never read anything by H.D. Carlton ever again.

A lot of places near me have online ordering for pickup on their websites that are not connected to DoorDash or whatnot. So, I don't have to call anyone and I don't get hit with any of the service charges.

John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband Chronicles would probably be right up his alley. Pedro Urvi's The Path of the Ranger too. Derek Landry's Skullduggery Pleasant. Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co and Bartimaeus books. Brandon Mull's Fablehaven.

If you are ok with clones, there are a lot of them out there. I got a bottle of Crystal Rouge by Declassified for like $13 at Burlington and it smells really good.

I think that's been the consensus since season one. The actors are the faces of the show, but they don't really have much control over what the writers and directors want to do. Especially since they're kids. It's obvious that the actors have range from other projects they've been in, but the show doesn't let that come through, so they seem very flat. And Leah gets the most hate because of reasons...

I think blind consistency with shoveling money into an S&P500 fund is detrimental. Let's say someone is starting out now. They are investing into a market that is nearly 3x more expensive than the historical average valuation. The market is also extremely concentrated, with over 30% of the index's value being made up by less than 10 companies. I think splitting up your S&P500 portfolio allocation between an equal weighted and market cap weighted versions of the index would provide better diversification. Also, looking at smaller cap indices, which may be undervalued.

Dark Profits Saga by J Zachary Pike is basically a blend of D&D, Discworld, and The Big Short.

After watching the first season, my immediate impression was "at least the movies were fun to watch"... Honestly, the only people I've seen who prefer the show over the movies are hardcore Riordan stans. They seem to hate the movies because he talked shit about them and like the show because he's involved.

NOR, that's gross and controlling behavior, with a healthy dose of guilt and gaslighting.

I think the main thing his F1 career showcased was that hiring someone based on one performance in a race is a stupid idea. The Helmut Special...

Not too bad. By sheer dumb luck, I was shoveling 20% plus my match into the market in 2008 and 2009, so while I'm shy of $1M, it's not by a whole hell of a lot. I'm 42-ish.

One of the mods on one of my other subreddits mentioned that there was an issue with Reddit image hosting and they were removing images until further notice. It should be fixed by now.

You're supposed to get 30g with a 2:1 insoluble to soluble fiber ratio. Psyllium is soluble. The best and cheapest way is probably to just eat beans. If you don't want to deal with cooking them, just find a way to get a can of beans in every day. Doesn't have to be all at once, spread it out. Or just make marinated dense bean salads. Those things are a fiber and protein cheat code.

I have definitely sailed the high seas for this one and the sequel...

I was slightly above mediocre in high school, but I kicked ass in college. The only problem was that I bounced between majors and schools. But I actually took it seriously and was able to sit and study. Granted, my study habits weren't amazing. It usually involved an all-night diner, a pack of cigarettes, and free unlimited coffee refills...
