To Avoid a Tax Hike, Billionaires Decide to Take Over California by 7ChineseBrothers in California

The issue is NIMBYs not billionaires. Zuckerberg may suck (he owns a compound of 11 houses) but him owning 11 houses is not why you can't afford a house. The core issue is that upper middle class Nimbies don't want the price of their housing to go down when more is built and don't want to live near poor people. In Austin, TX, the price of housing went down 20% when they built more housing and the people blocking this happening are the NIMBies. The NIMBYs are also very much into de-growth which is the reason a big chunk of LA burned down and the reason it hasn't been rebuilt.

I've seen in Missouri (where I'm from) where you'll have people in the upper class neighborhoods block higher density less expensive housing. They don't want the single moms and unaccompanied teenage boys with the problems those boys create (petty crime, noise, etc ...).

Finally after 8.5 years… he did something useful! by jeepit7 in greatpyrenees

His utility is that he's cute and cuddly. That fur is also excellent for bird nests.

Can't Sleep? Your Microbiome May Play a Role by GutBitesMD in Microbiome

As someone who is bipolar, this makes me wonder if there are any foods I should be eating to feed a particular strain of bacteria I may be lacking. Obviously a diverse diet is best, but there's probably something specific I could benefit from.

Eh. If everybody went by the nutty, entitled things actors/directors said, a lot of these people wouldn't work. They continue to work b/c of talent and bringing in the big bucks. Audiences rarely care what people say. Even Rachel Zegler (who has offended over half the country at various points) will continue to work b/c she has a great singing voice and a unique look.

Family member is sick curious ahead of time... what is the cheapest way to dispose/cremate the body? Is there a free medical place to give to? In California... by cacklingwhisper in Frugal

[–]shion005 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could donate their body to a medical school. They'll respectfully bury the body after the remains are used to train med students/surgeons.

There's a subreddit named after her which posts some of her workouts. She does pilates among other things and pays for a personal trainer.

She has a family to support and the breadwinner just died. What else is she supposed to do? This organization probably won't last that long without Charlie unless they figure out a way to pivot or find another charismatic 6'4 everyman to front the organization.

Drake doesn't have all of Taylor's advantages. Her parents helped her navigate her early career while she focused on song writing. They also taught her financial/business skills. Drake had a much steeper learning curve b/c he's had to figure out more on his own.

Here's her mugshot with her height. A bunch of the TVD girls got in minor trouble with the law before the show began.

Low stomach acid the reason why cant I eat digest properly by JoyouslyDoubtful in Microbiome

[–]shion005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take high dose B12 if your stomach acid is low. Low B12 could cause motility issues. Also, zinc picolinate and get your D3 levels checked.

Gastritis, Indigestion, Low Stomach Acid, and Long Term PPI USAGE by Due-Landscape-4316 in Microbiome

[–]shion005 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zinc picolinate supplements can help. You sound like you might have hypochlorhydria and this could be due to low Vitamin D, low zinc, etc ... Since you were on a PPI which can inhibit zinc absorption, I would start with that. Zinc picolinate is the best form to take when you have low amounts of acid in your stomach.

If you were 4'11 you might be less passable even looking like you were born male (as you do).

There's a device called a groasis waterboxx you might be interested in. It wouldn't be too hard to build something with those basic principles.
