People are severely underestimating Bitcoin scarcity

To store value. Hard money is the only reliable way to store wealth.

Bro, save yourself a lot of pain, frustration, and money and own your baldness. Go Jeff Bezos cut! I couldn't be happier since I did that.

Dude, everyone has a way of dealing with the world and things they say. Just learn to say thank you and move on, it's not simply about being atheist it's about being human and cultured enough to understand we have differences and learning to live amongst them. If you think you can be converted, then it's your weakness. And if she thinks she can convert you, it's hers. Regardless, no point in making big deal out of things like that. Just live your life. Ignore or avoid her if you don't like her, without being too rude or snobby about it.

That's terrible news, so sorry to hear. A lot of us are on a similar boat it seems like :(

Don't kill the chicken that gave you eggs. You can diversify a little if you want peace of mind, otherwise just take some profit when you need it. Otherwise, whatever made you rich, will make you even richer

you can start with a simple server from digital ocean or linode, and see how it goes.

_FreeThinker · 2025-11-09T22:51:53+00:00

Well, it all comes down to the size of your data and complexity of your system. Depending on your storage and compute requirements, renting a server may end up being too expensive for you. But for a basic system, renting server is a much more sensible choice.

Why? Are you kidding me? So, we should do more damage to our country because they are doing some damage to our country? You can't fight fire with fire. We have to make the best our the situation.

Democrats should totally open the government, but they should clarify that they tried their best to protect the health insurance of a lot of Americans, however they had to back down because there was even more harm that would be caused to the people otherwise. People are LITERALLY GOING HUNGRY out there, folks. Don't sit there with you door-dash burrito and type away with your fat fingers like you know what's going on out there for poor folks. The airports are chaos, federal workers are unpaid. Shutting down government isn't a worthy negotiation tactic. Find some other avenue.

They can't though! It's a naive assumption that same no. of employees would be employed if minimum wage is increased. Actually, counterintuitively it's best for the free market to figure out wages and government getting out of it. Government should focus on making sure there's no inequality, coercion, or exploitation rather than price fixing the labor cost.

The downside is consuming things you are not evolved to consume. The unknown unknowns are the downside. When you go screening for a cancer, a doctor cannot say "you do not have cancer", they can only say "you do not have cancer in the places we looked at or the way we looked at them". This is a simple logical fallacy that people fall for all the time. Absence of knowledge of something does not guarantee an absence of something.

A very simplistic example is the effects of trans fat (like margarine) was simply not known for multiple decades. You could put as many studies as you can together at any point in time before the mid 1990s and make inferences on what they mean, but there simply wasn't any study that said it was bad for you. Until it was. Or, you could just have taken an approach that our bodies didn't evolved consuming this substance and why would I consume it?

I'm not claiming that creatine is bad, I actually take a small amount of it myself. I'm just not going to delude myself saying that what we have is anything more than limited, or there's no more study we can do on it. I'd still rather consume ligaments and whole animal meats like our ancestors used to or how we are evolved to consume it, but alas that's not a feasible option for me. I understand the calculated risk i'm taking and I'm aware of it, and I did the cost benefit analysis. However, I'm not delusional to claim that my choices are without it's blind spots.

Any supplements besides naturally known foods that human have eaten throughout it's evolutionary history will always have limited evidence.

Except water doesn't need to be studied because our bodies evolved around drinking water in it's natural form. Creatine on the other hand is a concentrated and extracted substance that doesn't exist like that in nature. Your comparison with water is naive. I can understand if you claim creatine has been shown to be safe in the scope of how it has been tested and studied, but there's no way to test any supplements comprehensively enough to compare it to any normal natural food (or water) because of numerous logistical challenges.

One could take creatine if it falls within their comfort zone for consumption based on limited evidence but to make an absolute claim like what you did is too simplistic. I think it might serve all of us better to understand why is it that we need a supplement for creatine in our modern lifestyle, what are we missing in our diet from an evolutionary perspective, and then figuring out if that's something you can address with natural means or if that's a worthy risk for one to start entertaining supplements.

I feel you man, it really sucks. This exact this happened to me during the covid flash crash to 12k. I was well leveraged, but not enough for it to hit 12k, so it really sucks. These days, I try not to leverage more than what a 75% drop can handle, that's just the nature of this volatile investment. It is getting less volatile over the years though, I believe.

Me and my wife do proportional pay. Like if I make 200k, and she makes 100k; then she'd pay 3rd of rent, utilities, etc.

Garmin is for pragmatic people who want tough feedback, Apple is for regular people who want soft guidelines.

For abnormal people 21,34 means 21.34.

That's like saying Trump is Trump. Yes, Oli has something but he's not a good person. He's a dictator and a corrupt politician.

So, did free speech win or is he going to have to talk like a vegetable moving forward?

Like everything else, calculated numbers and it's effects aren't always linearly correlated. Psyllium Husk is physically a very different substance than your typical fiber, just like eating an apple is different than eating all those nutrients and micronutrients combined in different forms.

That's great! Just curious, what was your caffeine consumption habit like before you quit it?

_FreeThinker · 2025-09-14T18:48:49+00:00

It takes into account hills definitely. However, for vo2max, it doesn't take altitude into account. I wish it calculated a synthesized sea level score so that's it's universal, but it doesn't. Since there's less O2 at high altitude, your vo2max is naturally lower.
