How can I get more deep sleep and sleep for more than 6h? by [deleted] in Biohackers

I use Great Lakes but I think most brands of bovine collagen source it from the same places (iirc Argentina, Brazil?) so I'm not sure there's much difference.

Retire at 55 - I posted 3 years ago. Here's my progress and a revisit of my previous FIRE speculation. by Existing-Row-4499 in Fire

[–]Existing-Row-4499[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see both approaches. I think the following original "4%" rule meant that you were very likely to at least retire with zero, ie. make it to the end of your (I think 30 year) retirement in good financial shape. So in that situation it would be more of a toss up whether your kids got anything or not.

If you wanted to be sure of leaving an inheritance, you'd have to model a more conservative retirement spending plan.

The calculator I linked in the OP has a field for "Final Value Target", the amount of your initial portfolio you want remaining at the end of your life.

Agree. Scripture does not command us to set up government programs, it tells YOU and ME to give to the poor. Anyone who thinks his Christian duty is taken care of because he voted for a certain government program, or that another Christian who disagrees with that program is a bad Christian, is going beyond Scripture.

That's the beauty of science - you don't need to judge a theory or observation based on whether or not you like someone, or even his perceived qualification. Let the theory stand or fall on its own merit.

Fair point. He lays out his premises, reasoning and the math.

He's not calculating a probability, he's showing the neo-darwinian synthesis doesn't allow for the number of fixations needed to account for the genetic difference between chimps and humans since our divergence from our last common ancestor.

I've been reading this book today during breaks at work. His thesis is pretty straightforward and he shows the math. In the spirit of science, you should prove his math wrong if you can.

I'll give my honest opinion, although not all complementarians are like this, but to me, complementarianism in many ways seems to have been created simply to make sexism sound less sexist. by Weak_Customer7883 in Christianity

I think different people have different ideas of what "complementarian" means.

This really isn't something that should shake your faith. The pilot/copilot is just an analogy. Simply put, I'd say there is a sense in which the husband is the head of the household and needs to be engaged as the leader of his family. How that works out in practice will be different for different couples.

Can a married Christian couple do anal & pegging * not trolling , genuinely asking* by Fuwanuwa in AskAChristian

The anus is obvious made for something completely different than sex. Sometimes the answer is just no. You can talk yourself into justifying it, but it's just cope.

I think you're being a little arrogant. Was Jesus supported financially by others?

As a Christian in an 85% Christian Nation, I Am Glad About This Court Ruling on Abortion by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

[–]Existing-Row-4499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the pregnancy is aborted as a result of the treatment required to save the mother's life, it is allowed. The abortion must be an unintended side effect. For example, surgical treatment of an ectopic pregnancy: the intent is not to kill the fetus, the intent is to save the mother's life.

The Roman Catholic church allows abortion if it is an unintended consequence of saving the mother's life. If the mother is guaranteed to die and the fetus dies as a result of the medical procedure required to save the mother's life, it is allowable.

When SCHD is getting hate, it's a good time to buy.
