This kid is 16?

Can’t wait to see what he’s up to in 10 years.

Is there a better answer (or brand) for the privacy-concerned user who is also a normie?

I don’t really watch tv, but my wife would want something somewhat modern.

Seems like a better fit for Anthropic. They’re the ones doubling down on work.

That was fantastic.

My biggest surprise (and confusion) was just how high butterflies and bumblebees go.

It was formerly understood that Tether was not backed 1:1.

My people in the space now believe that they have made up the hole thanks to juicy interest rates (where Tether keeps all the yield).

I see all these comments about the trash and hate on Twitter, and I just wish that I could show them how I use it, and how wonderful a source of intellectual stimulation it can be.

My feed is highly curated. 1) I mute all political words. Nothing good comes from these discussions. I also mute things that just don't contribute to my peace of mind (a recent addition being "basecamp")

2) I block users who put out garbage content or try to stir things up

3) I use lists that I view on TweetDeck, so I can have lists based on my different interests (i.e. investing, entrepreneurs, interesting people, philosophy, etc)

Using this it becomes a dream feed. I get stimulating content, great discussions, and interesting ideas. On top of that I've actually made some solid friends from the network over the years, some in-person ones as well.

Meh, not impressed. https://community.investing.io/c/forum/semrush-files-to-go-p...

I’ve experimented with adaptogens for about a decade now, and they have become my favorite supplement type in terms or positive noticeable benefits to my life.

I’m mobile now or I’d look up studies to post, but I’d recommend checking out pubmed on some of the more common adaptogens. I specifically am a fan of ashwagandha (the KSM-66 standardized extract), Rhodiola (again, standardized) and finally Holy Basil. But there are quite a bit more that fall into the category, some being more for mental benefits and others more physical. For example the mushroom Cordyceps is generally thought of as an adaptogen that has exercise endurance boosting effects, while ashwagandha is usually thought of more for stress management and brain boosting effects.

I’m usually not a fan of “all-in-one” type products, but I’ve been taking this adaptogen complex for months with noticeable effects. https://www.amazon.com/ADAPTOTRAX-Superior-Adaptogen-Supplem...

Edit (on desktop now). Just a dusting of some cool studies:

Cordyceps militaris Improves Tolerance to High-Intensity Exercise... - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27408987

Ashwaganhda decreases cortisol and anxiety - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573577/

Ashwagandha increases muscle strength and recovery - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4658772/

Rhodiola has lots of great stuff about it, but this "systematic review" claims that none of the results really meet scientific standards, so it all might be bogus: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3541197/

I don’t like the data collection either, but it’s impossible to know the untold disasters that it may or may not have prevented.

“Assume that a legislator with courage, influence, intellect, vision, and perseverance manages to enact a law that goes into universal effect and employment on September 10, 2001; it imposes the continuously locked bulletproof doors in every cockpit (at high costs to the struggling airlines)-just in case terrorists decide to use planes to attack the World Trade Center in New York City. I know this is lunacy, but it is just a thought experiment... The legislation is not a popular measure among the airline personnel, as it complicates their lives. But it would certainly have prevented 9/11.

The person who imposed locks on cockpit doors gets no statues in public squares, not so much as a quick mention of his contribution in his obituary. "Joe Smith, who helped avoid the disaster of 9/11, died of complications of liver disease." Seeing how superfluous his measure was, and how it squandered resources, the public, with great help from airline pilots, might well boot him out of office.”

-Quote from Taleb

I personally always recommend Seneca as the perfect starting point, but I did receive immense value from the modern book “A Guide To The Good Life”.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0040JHNQG (I prefer the Audible version though)

Adding to this, include the “supporting pdf” that comes with so many audiobooks inside the app instead of having to download on desktop through the actual Audible website.

No I don't think that is usually possible. I think your first idea is correct. Work like crazy to get something working and profitable, and then work to automate it (which is frequently harder than you might think).

Doing this has helped me create bigger things as well. I create a business, more or less automate it, and then use that cashflow to work on other businesses. Eventually creating a portfolio of cashflow businesses, with a few exits in the middle.

I lived it for a couple of years based on the framework from the book. Living on an island in Thailand diving everyday, hanging out in Bali or Barcelona.

Eventually I got a little bored with it and wanted to create bigger companies so I dove back in, but I still attribute a lot of my success to stumbling across that book one day.

First off ingredients on labels are listed in order of most prevalent to least. So what stands out specifically is the unhealthy oils. Sunflower and canola. I'm mobile or I would paste links, but read up on them. Horrible omega ratios, and sketchy by-products are usually found in them (hopefully Soylent at least has quality versions of this).

Also maltodextrin is always one of the main ingredients. Super high gi, and no nutritional value.

I feel like I'm the only who has ever read the nutrition facts. It's a garbage product full of ingredients I wouldn't aim to put in my body. Love the idea of it all, just not the science behind it.
