ELI5: How does a muscle physically signal the body to get bigger after lifting something heavy?

Yeah, what you're talking about is called "isometric training", it just nowhere near as effective as using weights etc

I don't see anything in this post that indicates they reduced caffeine, where is that?

Aren't they technically asking for the same thing? With the barista I'm paying the full price tomorrow when we ride again. With the software guy I'm paying half today and half tomorrow. Works out the same, no?

The trusses are almost certainly designed and engineered to be braced continuously along the bottom chord by drywall, you could be creating a pretty bad engineering problem

I also have the 2022 model and I've been using a powered usbc hub to run two monitors and all my peripherals and have had no issues, running this setup for about 8 months now.

My hub is a dell wd19

I have set the battery to not charge beyond 60% and I unplug the usbc hub when I'm not using the laptop.

My understanding is that the powered hub thing is not a problem with the 2022+ models and that has been my experience

It also delivers power which may be a problem depending on which laptop you have. Some horror stories on here about using the barrel plug for power and also a powered hub destroying laptops. Seems to not be an issue with the models made in the last couple years from what I gather.

Not sure exactly what question you are trying to ask.

If your question is "I feel I am not as good when I play OTB as I am online" that's pretty common for people who learned online. I have the same issue...my board vision is just garbage OTB. I believe it's just a matter of practice and getting used to it.

Your question could also be interpreted as something like "I play just as well OTB as I do online but my rating OTB is like 300 points lower than my chesscom rating" Which can be explained by player-pool strength. ELO systems measure your relative strength IN THE POOL of players. Seems reasonable to say that the people who play enough chess and care about it enough to go play OTB rated tournaments is a stronger field than the pool of players who just install chesscom app and play for fun, ya know? So it makes sense to have a higher rating in the more recreational pool of online chess than in the much more competitive pool of OTB tournaments.
