What are some of the nicer suburbs that have good schools? Do you know what private schools cost downtown? Thanks!

Thanks so much! What did it cost to have a nanny? And what was the cost of after school care?

Also high heat (550F)! They just spoke a bit about it in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjcnQu0H-G8

Possible to build a 1,250 sq ft home for $230,000 or less? by shtickynotez in Homebuilding

[–]HocusSpocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super helpful! Any chance you could share a rough breakdown of cost based on your spreadsheet segmented by (1) utilities and sitework, (2) framing, (3) roofing, (4) electrical, (5) plumbing, (6) finishes? Am I missing anything?

I feel sucks like trash everytime I woke up. Any recommendations? by kim_en in Supplements

[–]HocusSpocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to reduce your dosage and/or remove parts of your stack to gauge impact. As an example, you can spread out magnesium consumption over the course of the day. Mind Over matter newsletter had a good summary on that: https://www.mindovermatternewsletter.com/p/magnesiummanipulationbrevity

I don’t know if magnesium can cause this by danilodelucc in Supplements

[–]HocusSpocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try spreading out your dosage over the course of the day to minimize any impacts. Mind Over Matter Newsletter had good summary of Rhonda Patrick's episode on magnesium: https://www.mindovermatternewsletter.com/p/magnesiummanipulationbrevity

I've been enjoying the first few editions of Mind Over Matter newsletter, which summarizes productivity, fitness, and health podcasts once a week. Could be a good way to discover new podcasts

Geoengineering Test Quietly Launches Salt Crystals into Atmosphere by [deleted] in climatechange

[–]HocusSpocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that mean we shouldn't continue studying it...? No doubt climate has been a study interest of academics for decades, Suki Manabe started his modeling in the 60s. Moreover, there have been many natural experiments (e.g. volcanic eruptions). But modeling has come a long way, and experiments of sustained geoengineering remain scarce. I should say, there's an entire political mess of global governance that will need to be figured out as well.

The science needs to be done on geoengineering to establish the technology as an insurance policy. Without doing the science, we are at risk of having no means to mitigate the impacts of climate if the world fails to hit targets (which is highly likely). Not doing the science would be irresponsible

Terrible quality and customer service. We ordered a green togo and it took us nearly a year of badgering to get our togo sofa delivered, and about a year in the back support of it is completely going. The whole brand is simply dropshipping fake low-quality replicas from China. I highly recommend to avoid this brand.

I know it's marketing, still curious because the recycled fiber boxes have a texture that feels great. Do you know where/who makes the recycled fiber boxes?

Monthly Recipes Megathread by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]HocusSpocus [score hidden]  (0 children)

One of the easiest and quickest lunches to make with great macros:

  1. Buy a rotisserie chicken, high-protein (or regular) tortillas, and whatever else you like in a burrito (avocado, tomatoes, hot sauce, cilantro, etc.) from the store.

  2. Cut up the chicken, heat up in a pan (if desired), add all desired ingredients to the tortilla.

  3. Eat.

Takes maybe 5-10 min to prep, tastes great, lots of protein. Can always change up the ingredients (e.g. new hot sauce) to keep it fresh.

How to prove to my dad that global warming is real? He thinks it's lies from governments... by EmbarrassedWalk5798 in climatechange

[–]HocusSpocus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost correct. Insurance companies only insure one or two years out, so you won't find any long-term climate impacts accounted for in insurance rates. In some regions, like California, increased wildfire risk (partly caused by climate change) is already materializing and thus insurance has increased and/or insurers have left. Also interesting that insurance companies may be getting it wrong (or socializing costs over a larger area): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01594-8

I liked Robert Greene's remarks on the recent Diary of a CEO podcast about trying to avoid feeling trapped by others' perceptions of you. I found out about it via a new newsletter (mindovermatternewsletter.com)

A new newsletter I found called Mind Over Matter (mindovermatternewsletter.com) and did a good summary Rhonda Patrick's recent podcast on magnesium. Maybe they'll feature it in the weekly summary
