Sounds like you are being consumed by greed and fear.
This is an honest question - is it fair to exclude people for whom antidepressants don't work in an analysis of if antidepressants work?
David Burns does a good job explaining why antidepressants and psychotherapy don't typically work in his most recent podcast: https://feelinggood.com/2019/11/18/167-feeling-great-profess...
While David makes a good case against drugs and non-CBT therapy, I actually don't find his his fantastical anecdotes of the light-switch effectiveness of TEAM CBT therapy convincing either.
Non-fresh-squeezed orange juice is, universally, artificially flavored: https://gizmodo.com/dirty-little-secret-orange-juice-is-arti...
I don't agree with your assessment that fresh squeezed orange juice is watery though - its usually not. The china vending machine must not have had good oranges.
I'm not ok with copying and pasting paywalled news articles verbatim on HN.
A general rule of many in the "financial independence" is 20x annual expenses saved for a sustained life without work.

(Well, they do, but it's out in my neighborhood in queens.)
Do you have high blood pressure? My understanding is sodium isn't a concern unless high BP is an issue.
I did the short Shimanami Kaido over the inland sea which was, of course, wonderful.
For me, it seems crazy in the year 2020 that a therapist wouldn't introduce basic analytics into the process with something like a brief mood survey after each session to know if therapy is ...for lack of a better term..."working".
Zero therapists I've found via the NYC therapist-finder sites do this.
My experience was it is fruitless endeavor trying to find a therapist that actually practices CBT for less than 200/hr.

Nadal’s one-time doctor was nabbed, but his blood bags were ordered destroyed by Spanish court:
Anybody who has the slightest understanding of startups knows the majority of them cease to exist within a few years of founding. There is no complex explanation needed beyond "the startup I was at closed its doors".
It is literally people driving around in a circle in last-century technology, mainly as an advertising platform for selling inefficient non-race vehicles.
We can do better in 2019, and I'd personally be ok if the whole sport shuttered, not just one team.
You can't really be diagnosed with symptom (although of course your money will be cheerfully taken to do just this).
Attention and focus and other related ADHD-type issues are bell curve.
It can feel good, for sure, to externalize our weakness and failings into one of these labels, like ADD. If that is helpful to get over the psychic weight of past failures, then that is helpful and useful.
Taking stimulants definitely helps most people with ability to work and focus, regardless of where they are on the attention-ability curve. There are also drawbacks and side-effects, at least I have observed.
This anti-evolution christian rock song was popular (among religious kids) in my high school.
This isn’t a good reason to permit superstition to remain at the center of community life. We can find something better.
Whoever is sitting down to write Boeing's PR response quotes needs to be fired, along with whichever c-suite exec is approving them. It's not acceptable to totally ignore actual safely issues being brought to light and respond universally with panglossian emptiness.
The quote about not needing to ground the Max, before being ordered to do so, was especially egregious.
Password managers are widely recommended in almost all ‘protect yourself being hacked’ writings.
