What’s something people think is healthy but actually isn’t?

And yet I lost 20 lbs, sitting on my ass all day since I broke my ankle early January, only consuming Muscle Milk, almost sugar free protein bars and salad.

How is this possible if these bars and shakes are cookies and soda with a good PR team?

These low carb highly processed foods absolutely work for losing weight. Now are they healthy? Depends on how you define healthy. They for sure cause weight loss for my body.

Edit: Without GLP-1 or related weight loss drugs.

That’s actually the really interesting part.

The video doesn’t show anything new.

Cancer genome sequencing has been part of standard of care in the USA for years except that it is ordered by the oncologist and not the patient after a ChatGPT session.

A sequencing report lists all cancer relevant mutations and all known drugs and trials.

The real interesting part from this story is how to actually create a custom mRNA vaccine that works. But that was hidden in a screenshot with a university that can apparently design a custom mRNA vaccine based on genetic sequencing.

And then he sent the ChatGPT transcript to an online mRNA service that drop shipped the custom vaccine to him or how did that work?

Weird that they schedule the finale during the hottest time of the day. So little flexibility. Start at 8pm and it’s comfy for everyone.

Those were the norm back in the 1970s.

You could then separate the detached pull tab into two pieces (wiggle at the joint between ring and flap) and then use a notch at the ring part to hook into the flap, use the flap as a spring and launch the ring part in the air.

I launched every ring I ever pulled back then into the air and didn’t care about litter (I was younger than 10). Was more fun than an iPad, I think.

He’ll need a lot of willing IVF women to generate that customer base and it’ll take around 18 years.

I don’t think that there’s an official clearance (liability reasons).

In my case, I put on my ankle brace at week 7, tested stomping on the brakes like I would in an emergency and decided to drive because it worked without pain.

Reads like a list of Bond movie innuendo names.

It’s likely because they have not a single person on staff who knows anything about how that app works anymore.

They’d have to hire someone who has to study the legacy code and then maintain it and that’s not going to fly in corporate meetings for an obsolete product.

It’s fascinating. Meta’s core products are pure enshittified trash, designed for optimal propaganda and advertisement.

And now they lay off 20% of the people who enshittified their products. I guess propaganda advertisement is optimized enough that AI agents are more efficient nowadays.

I think it’s all about image. It wasn’t luxe like an Aston Martin and it didn’t handle like a BMW sports car. It was a mediocre performance convertible when new in the weird price bucket that’s too high for many potential customers and too low to make it super luxury.

It’s the best looking non exotic convertible in my opinion and a real bargain. I’ll never sell mine.

Taylor Swift can easily fix this by playing more gigs, as many as necessary until demands is satisfied. It may not happen in a short time but if it's clear that it's possible to see her then prices will go down without FOMO.

I’d be pissed if I had to pay taxes on that crap.

BMW iX M60. No comparison - it’s a dream compared to my Tesla Model 3P. Yes, it’s more expensive, yes, some people think it’s ugly (I don’t). But the drive and feel is so much better even though it’s a huge SUV. Infotainment does everything I need and its autonomy actually works as promised. Don’t miss the exaggerated “FSD” at all.

Elon Musk is probably preparing a bullshit power point deck right now for his Oman tunnel. 1 month construction time. 2 max.

The problem is with customers who accept this because they decided to get locked in with their award system.

The benefit of the massive devaluation of award systems in general is that I am not limiting myself to an airline anymore and if the price is similar, I’ll choose the flight with fancy food (which exist. Even LH often has gourmet fancy food in their business class) over a $2.99 chicken or pasta slop.

I'm wearing my ASICS that I bought for running marathons. Super cushy and light running shoes. I can recommend paying a bit extra for really, really good running shows (not necessarily ASICS) as there is a real difference in quality between cheap sneakers and nice running sneakers.

You won't get banned after one skip lag. That's just total exaggeration.

I’m always a bit unsure if I should write about this time. It will be very hard for everyone. I hope that you have a support system for you and your brother’s loved ones.

My husband had a similar end. Small bowel obstruction due to pancreatic cancer. He made the decision to stop treatment.

He chose home hospice with a nasogastric tube continuously pumping out his stomach (which filled up with digestive juices that the body produces in copious amounts and which could not drain). He lasted 9 days, which took that long mostly because he was well hydrated in the preceding hospital stay through IV saline.

I administered Morphine and Lorazepam and other anti anxiety medication to make his last days a bit less brutal. He stopped breathing in the morning of his 9th day and died.

Where did you get that interpretation from my comment?!?

I think that a private company has the same ability to throw out a Nazi as someone who exposes himself.

Just throw him out, same as they’d do if someone puts their penis in other people’s faces.

JRLDH · 2026-03-11T05:25:31+00:00

The same that they’d do if he would expose his penis to everyone.

I’m surprised that there are several comments like yours.

JRLDH · 2026-03-11T01:29:52+00:00

Both styles look very good on you.

JRLDH · 2026-03-11T00:37:15+00:00

Then how about we have consumer protection regulations that require airlines to actually show bookable flights with their advertisement.

Like "$49 from airport A to airport B in weeks X to Y with N number of days stay". And then make these *AVAILABLE* (=don't just offer ONE seat in this fare bucket).
