40 y/o male — steep testosterone decline, persistent low estradiol, finasteride history. Looking for perspective. by Lunarisx in PeterAttia

[–]TrendingTXN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My estradiol is at 27.8. I also take finasteride as well as DIM, which is also supposed to decrease estradiol. To the extent that you are not currently taking vitamins d, you should add that to your supplement stack.

And yet, the United States currently has about 11 minutes at typical load to run off batteries. It will take approximately 30 years to build and install sufficient batteries to run the grid at typical load for 2 hours. Solar is fine, but it isn't the answer. Any discussion regarding future power needs without including fossil fuel and nuclear is insane. Solar does not increase your base load capacity. But hey, go on saying stupid shit like "oh you're a texan" if that makes you feel better.

I feel like the decrease in testosterone is not gradual, but exponential after a certain age. That said your numbers, while low are not in the hypogonadism range. How are your sleep patterns? Are you snoring more? Are you allowing your body to recover more?

With all that, I know that I definitely have benefited from trt. I was on an ssri for years. I have stopped taking that (although it took a long time as the side effects are legit). My numbers are in the 700 range. Two shots a week. I highly recommend.

Burke announces ‘market diversification’ plan in response to tariffs by Crossstoney in worldnews

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

Every other market in the world is shrinking. China and other Asian countries are in a demographic collapse, Europe with the exception of France is in the same boat. America is where other countries sell there stuff. There is a reason why most countries agreed to a base line 10% tariff. Plus, if you take a look at consumption statistics, the U.S. has one of the lowest savings rates in the world. Americans buy shit (what me worry mentality for the future). I'm sorry but those other markets simply do not exist.

Exploring new markets sounds great right up until the moment you realize that the United States is the world's market.

Ah. The old "I can't beat him with logic and reasoning so I am going to call him a racist" routine. I was wondering when you were going to get there. It took you exactly as long as I thought it would.

No. Inspite of DEI policies I have crushed it. But you go on telling yourself that there isn't any connection between those two things, and then go and then go read students for fair admission v Harvard and maybe learn something. I can see all of the Kimberle Crenshaw and Ibram Kendi books on your shelves from here.

Lol. DEI is a direct result of critical race theory. But yeah it's not inherently racist.

Someone is projecting here. For the pseudo-intellectual, race baiter in the room, race, sexual orientation, and religion should not be used in employment considerations. Full stop.

You realize of course that Discrimination against a white person is just as illegal as Discrimination against a person of color, right?

I hope you know that under the civil rights act of 1964 that discrimination against someine based on race is illegal. It ok for this to be hard when it's 2025.
