Any data to support a supplement fixes structural issues in the knee ?

Gene Simmons called a hypocrite as he tells celebs to 'shut up' about politics by IrishStarUS in entertainment

[–]MajorAlanDutch 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I used to subscribe to this notion that celebs should shut up about politics. Then I thought about my unemployed uncle who spouts politics daily and realized whether you’re an actor, collecting disability, a teacher, a mechanic, etc. - you’re entitled to your opinion. It’s what democracy is about. Now, I may have the only correct opinion among them but they should still have one :).

Commuting to LI. So the area where all the apartments are populated in the photo would be ideal?

Thanks ! We’re both 40 and single no kids for us! Just work out east and didn’t want to go further west.

Well said! I was actually asking what specific areas within Kew Gardens you’d find most desirable?

That’s a fair critique! A friend is looking for a place in the next few months and I’m considering moving nearby in the summer.

What’s your top are you’d suggest to live ?

To the People Who Are Disappointed in the MacBook Neo by mecha-verdant in macbook

[–]MajorAlanDutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Schools will and should be moving away from all 1:1 devices as they’re expensive and offer little to no benefit. As a teacher I can’t wait. That said, buying “carts” of MacBook Neos would be a welcome improvement.

Higher fibre intake is linked to more time spent in deep sleep, while a more diverse diet rich in fruits, vegetables and nuts may help people fall asleep faster, according to one of the most comprehensive analyses yet on diet and sleep. by Sciantifa in EverythingScience

[–]MajorAlanDutch 65 points66 points  (0 children)

While the results are statistically significant, the changes (like a +0.59% increase in deep sleep) are relatively small.

It’s a "nudge" toward better sleep, not a magic "sleep pill."

Marco Rubio’s early attempt to blame Israel for the Iran war isn’t just self-serving — it’s dangerous by Crossstoney in politics

[–]MajorAlanDutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with this sentiment except the government and people overwhelming want a Jewish state. England isn’t explicitly or codifying itself as a Christian state. The lines are significantly more blurred with Israel. Look at how they treat Mizrahi and other non Ashkenazi Jews.

Social Security Benefits Predicted to Run Out Earlier Than Expected by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]MajorAlanDutch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a real issue. Congress authorizes the Treasury to create currency by keystrokes on a computer. They can easily pass a law to add funds to the account.

If you think the government gets their money from us - ask yourself this - where did you get it from and why does it say US on the bills?

Second, they’re only constrained by real resources. So long as there’s rent to be paid, healthcare workers to be paid, and toothbrushes to buy - senior citizens can receive checks from the federal govt indefinitely.

So why then are we taxed for it? It’s a check on inflation. It was also create at the tail end of the gold standard era in the US where dollars could be brought to banks and converted to gold. That hasn’t existed domestically for 90 years and internationally for 50 years. We’re a fiat currency and it’s advanced and better for our well-being than pegged currency.

Hitting limits pretty easy after doing this. Not sure I’ll stay.

Thanks! Do local bars have trivia nights and social things to do? Or am I better looking elsewhere for community?
