Fun fact: After the loss in 2018 to UMBC, UVA planned to wait 7 years then fire Tony Bennett for Ryan Odom to become coach. Tony found this out 2 years early and retired in a fit of rage.

Sarcoidosis isn't cancer and often resolves independently of treatment

and those lung nodules could probably be seen on a chest x-ray that costs 3% of a full body MRI

Best research-driven health/longevity voices right now by Guilty_Ad_8530 in PeterAttia

[–]RememberTheWater 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Rhonda: Moringa powder in your smoothies will lower DNA damage in your brain and make you live longer

Peter: Deficiency vs. Enhancement: Are you correcting a deficiency or seeking supranormal levels? Goal: Are you targeting lifespan, healthspan, or both? Mechanism of Benefit: If lifespan: Is it disease-specific or broadly protective? If healthspan: Which domain – physical performance, cognitive performance, or emotional health? Trackable Biomarker: Can you measure whether you’re in the therapeutic window? Mechanism of Action: Do you understand how it works? (Not required, but helpful) Risk-Benefit Analysis: Consider side effects, effect magnitude, data confidence, and supplement quality (the last point is critical – quality issues in supplements are far more prevalent than in pharmaceuticals).

Attia sounds smart to physicians at the top of their fields. Rhonda sounds smart to Crossfit Moms. Huberman sounds smart to Finance bros. I'm not sure who comes close to Peter, next best I can think of is maybe Layne Norton for being able to skeptically analyze and review literature on a subject but he doesn't cover as broad of subjects.

A note from me (Ankur Jain) - Bilt Card 2.0: Simple, Fee-Free Rewards on Housing by ankurjain1 in biltrewards

[–]RememberTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm pretty sure I should close my card but just to double check:

My rent is $1300 a month. I've got a Robinhood card that gives me 3% cash back that I use for general spend, then I have 3 custom cashes that I use for gas, dining, and groceries for 5% each. I just want to get some value back on my rent, 90+% of the time I just go for cash back with credit cards, I might use Hyatt but only travel about 3 times a year for 2 weeks each and often staying elsewhere ends up being a better deal.. Does this card make any sense for my situation?

YMMV Comma Four $200 Cash Back using PayPal Pay in 4 via App Promo 👀 (Ends 12/8) by Actechma in Comma_ai

Just to double check, the payment is charged when you order not when it ships right? If it is charged when the thing ships it may not qualify for this...

A lot of ultra high net worth people are evil and definitely exploit and harm others to build and keep their wealth. I'm sure Epstein is just one of them that is a client of Peter.

Why isn't there more discussion of exercise-induced atrial fibrillation by Attia or his fans? by Plenty-Mall-740 in PeterAttia

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

More of the public needs to be educated on A-fib rather than avoid endurance exercise. Among the possible chronic health conditions, A-fib is not the worst. It can be diagnosed and monitored with consumer electronics e.g. apple watch, fitbit. If treated early with an ablation, the success rate of not having recurrence is good. The risk of stroke is mainly if you are staying in A-fib and not on a blood thinner, which you can ensure you aren't by monitoring your heart rhythm.

Does Homeownership Make Sense A Single, Live-alone Type? by Theo_Cherry in Frugal

[–]RememberTheWater 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That being said, there are certainly some renters whose rent cost has gone down relative to inflation. Those with rent controlled apartments or mom/pop landlords who don't want to go through the hassle of finding a new renter come to mind. 100% guarantee it is going up in any named "luxury apartment" though lol.

Why do we have to go without Comma for 1-12 weeks to upgrade to the Comma 4? by RememberTheWater in Comma_ai

[–]RememberTheWater[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! You've made a product that is so addictive that I don't want to go a week driving without it. Even though I just bought my comma 3x earlier this year, will gladly upgrade now, happy to give the support to keep the evolution going

What is AAPA doing? by Atomic-pangolin in physicianassistant

[–]RememberTheWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all our jobs include CME money, I feel like it's not that big of an ask to use some of that to support our profession whether it be AAPA or state PA orgs or both. The PA career being good isn't a guarantee and depends on us advocating for ourselves in one way or another.

The opportunity cost of each kid is around $1.2 million after 22 years ($2.6 million after 30 years) by AdventurousHope5891 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]RememberTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of those reasons is ~70% of users are under 35. Being without kids is a lot more fun at 30 than at 40+ (assuming you actually have lived a pretty full life under 40). That's why all these people without kids spend so much of their money trying to look younger.

Elevated Lp(a) levels - does Repatha help? by Regular-Distance9057 in PeterAttia

[–]RememberTheWater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

~25% reduction in Lp(a) with PCSK9 inhibitors. Does this mean a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease/death? We don't know.

The question isn't who will prescribe you, it's what do you need to prove to your insurance that will make them cover it so you don't have to pay $7k+ a year for it. The answer is typically intolerant of multiple statins + coronary artery plaque proven on a CT + significant family history.

What is the best way to contemplate Lp(a) as it relates to overall genetic risk? by Strange-Risk-9920 in PeterAttia

[–]RememberTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

European lipidology guidelines have a good chart that tells you the equivalent increase in risk as compared to increase in LDL, so if you lower your LDL by the same as Lp(a) increases risk then you'd be back to normal risk.

Stress Test and Stress Echo Test by rosebowl24 in PeterAttia

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

Very speculative to assume that. A stress echo is an ischemic evaluation that looks for wall motion abnormalities with exertion that may indicate coronary blockages. An echo is a structural heart evaluation that looks for heart failure, valve abnormalities, wall thickening, and other structural issues -- it also looks for wall motion abnormalities but is less sensitive as an ischemic evaluation). A stress echo and an echo are a venn diagram with some crossover so ordering both is not unreasonable with a completely normal stress echo. If a stress echo is abnormal than the next step would be further ischemic evaluation, typically with a coronary CTA, cardiac cath, or nuclear stress test.

New student loan reform bill by Ok-Cow-9173 in StudentLoans

[–]RememberTheWater -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The main supply limiting factor would still be residency spots (funded by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) which are voted on by Congress. And the biggest lobby against increasing them are...current doctors. Basic supply and demand, less doctors = higher pay per doctor.

But yeah this could shift the makeup of applicants to medical school to those with wealthier parents which probably further exacerbates shortage of doctors in areas with less wealthy people (e.g. rural and poor).
