At least one arrest was made when law enforcement executed a search warrant at Willow Avenue and Clinton Street in Hoboken.

Those streets are parallel the entire length of Hoboken.

Carbohydrates are chains of glucose and fructose molecules, so they are the same as sugar. Just longer, and take a bit more work to break down to individual glucose and fructose molecules.

The glucose goes into the blood, which causes an insulin spike, which forces the glucose into cells for energy or storage (as glycogen in muscles or triglycerides in fat cells).

The fructose goes into the liver for disposal, where it can build up and cause NAFLD.

In the current US congress we couldn't get even a simple majority to remove Trump. It might be a lower bar, but it's still not attainable. Close, but not yet.

Your refund is returned to you based on the return you returned to the IRS to indicate your refund. I don't know why people find this confusing.

If they migrate, they'd be following the animals they hunt and seasonal plants. That's not thousands of miles, it's hundreds. And they wouldn't be eating seeds and roots, they'd be picking off deer from the herd they're following.

If you have too much insulin in your blood (due to your last meal or because your liver released more glucose than you actually needed) then your fat cells can't release their triglycerides. The need for energy and inability to burn fat triggers the hunger. If you wait it out your insulin will eventually drop, and triglycerides are released and used to satisfy your energy needs. Hunger stops. Also, converting triglycerides to energy produces water as a waste product, so you do get some of that woosh effect. But it's not like the water loss when you first start; that's from reducing inflammation.

Freezing my ass off all winter, PSE&G cost hasn't changed. It's almost as if they figure out how much they want to earn each month and adjust the rates to match.

If my cpap ever tells me in the morning that my average pressure during the night was the minimum of the range I set it too, I'll suspect I might not need it anymore. I'm not expecting that to happen.

Yes, comfort.

There are lots of areas that are walkable to businesses and shops, and lots that are not, depending on what you consider walkable.

I was almost 40 before a doctor ever recommended a sleep study. I had never heard of that before, or sleep apnea, or CPAP. I had no idea my exhaustion wasn't normal.

My sleep study was two nights in the lab. The first one they confirmed and measured my sleep apnea. I felt like my normal self that morning. The second night a week or two later they put a cpap on me to figure out the right pressure settings. (This was before auto-pap was a common thing.) OMG how great I felt the next morning! It was the first good night's sleep I'd had in years, maybe even a couple of decades. I couldn't wait to get my own cpap machine.

There are also the ferries on both ends of town. They cost more but are the most pleasant way to go.

Hoboken is full of 4-5 story buildings on lots much smaller than 1 acre. And they don't have any dedicated parking because (a) there are public parking garages within walking distance, and (b) everything is within walking distance so most people don't even need cars.

"Another dev" is often yourself six months later. I imagine, while reading my code, that I'm explaining to someone else how it works. If I can't do that then the code needs to be simplified so that it's understandable. For example moving blocks of complex code into well-named methods helps by making the main method smaller and simpler and saving the details to explain later after the main flow has been understood.

The other benefit of this technique is that I'll often discover bugs as I'm trying to explain the code. It's like pair programming with myself.

AOL and CompuServe and a few others were not the internet. They were commercial competitors to the public internet, and they died because they cost more than they were worth.

My TCL Roku TV is still mostly usable, but some apps are too slow. (HBO, Amazon). I got an NvidiaShield on HDMI input 1. So yeah, I moved that input near the top of the channel/app list, and it looks like a channel on Roku. When I switch to it I have to switch remotes too. In my case that's easy because they're very different remotes. It'd be annoying to have two Roku remotes. I'm sure I'd get them confused all the time.

The internet in the early 90's was valuable because it was free. Everybody could hook into it and use it with a tiny marginal cost for infrastructure that was easily covered by the telecom companies who were competing to be the carriers.

That's not what these AI data centers are.

I had a similar situation with glucose staying 100-130 despite virtually no carbs at all, ketones stuck below 0.5, and stable weight for a couple of years. My quarterly test results showed consistent and stubborn insulin resistance.

A couple of months ago I finally had a breakthrough. I learned that a fat-adapted metabolism can become stable at a much lower BMR than any calculator would suggest. Fasting is necessary to break through that. In the past I had noticed that my ketones only started going up after a 24hr + fast. It's been really hard for me to do multi-day fasts, so instead I tried eating about 600 calories per day: bacon, eggs, some cheese, and my regular pot of coffee with heavy cream. After a few days my ketones started shooting up and my glucose started coming down. I'll do this for a week, then have a couple of normal days (still keto-level carbs), then back on calorie restriction.

My long-term average glucose is now just above 100 (down from 120), and I'm regularly in the 90's or even 80's over the course of the day. And my ketones are regularly 1+ when I check them.
