I heard his comments as 'this is a thing the military has studied and taken seriously, and there were real programs with funding towards it' not 'this is a real thing that works'.

The point isn't that the particular strategy for health and fitness is right or wrong, it's that the growth mindset causes the person (Bob?) to over-focus on that aspect of their life to the detriment of more important but less obvious ones, like personal relationships, being kind to others, or enjoying fallen leaves in autumn.
Bob spends his 20s trying to improve his bodyfat percentage, max his bench, get a Porsche, and build his 401k.
He misses out on his niece's early childhood, loses his highschool friendships, and breaks up with his girlfriend for a job opportunity in a different city.
This is like the printer company focusing on revenue instead of brand loyalty or its reputation.
Physical beauty is often an attractor of lust, but someone with no sexual hormones or sexual desire could still assess or another's beauty without a sexual component, an asexual person could, someone not sexually attracted to a given gender could still assess physical attractiveness of someone of that gender (a straight woman assessing a girl's beauty), etc.
Unfortunately it's often seen as easier to change the former than the latter (which seems to perhaps be developed throughout childhood and one's upbringing and former experiences), but I would perhaps try to brainstorm if you can ways to improve your own subjective perspective/lens itself. If you quit your prior job, and with your new one hate and want to quit it/think your discomfort for it'll get you fired, maybe you could try to reach out to those around you in your peer network (maybe a former dev coworker or boss or a current coworker and try to get their perspective on things). Maybe there's something with your own ability to tolerate discomfort or find solace in good aspects of your jobs that you could find.
Some facts about FBI UCR:
1) The FBI web site recommends against using its data for ranking because these rankings lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting cities and counties, along with their residents
https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-...
2) they are submitted voluntarily by police departments
3) many police departments don't even participate: "This year about 7,000 police agencies, covering about 35% of the U.S. population, were missing."

4) From your own Wiki link: "Often, one obtains very different results depending on whether crime rates are measured for the city jurisdiction or the metropolitan area."
5) The BJS reports that 45% of violent crimes and 36% of property crimes go unreported to police. And I don't know that we can assume the rates of not reporting crimes are consistent across metros.

(not a loaded question, and it is possible different companies could emerge that would compete on the basis of their taste/curation/moderation policies. also equally possible it would be too costly/ unprofitable for the market to bear many smaller competing entities).
I think perhaps there's a third option but we just haven't really defined and figured it out yet. Some mixture of crowdsourced taste/moderation plus top down taste/moderation plus unfiltered UGC. Twitter's new user-generated Community Notes might be a good example of a step in a new direction. Social media is still relatively new.
Intake is a specific brand, its a reusable magnetic plastic band and little adhesive strips you put on either side of you nose with the little piece of metal that the magnetic strip attaches to. Seems to be less harsh on the skin than the breathe-rite strips and also much stronger of an effect of pulling the nostrils open. Intake goes on the outside.
For sea-level rise climate change mitigation, look at topographical maps of coastal areas. Some coastal areas have very quick climbs in elevation as you move inland. Others remain very shallow for incredible distances. The more dense an area is with wealth (think Manhattan), the more likely it is for there to be actual mitigation to sea-level rise like substantial seawalls. But the more dispersed the population and infrastructure is, the less possible that will be.
For precipitation related changes, extreme weather / natural disaster related changes, etc. we don't have much reliable modeling. But consider what the economy and demographics are like in the area you reside in, how much existing poverty or famine there is, how reliable infrastructure is, and whether your area is a net food importer or net food exporter and how much margin it has to undergo decreased agricultural productivity and still feed itself. Consider the ease or difficulty with which net-food-importer-region displaced refugees would be able to migrate to your area, as well as the size of such populations.
Learn to describe your experience and goals as a story that makes sense and is compelling.
Most white collar work would benefit from experience in software or data, whereas lifting 2x4s into place may not.
If you've ever given a shit about microplastics, do your research when shopping for 3D printers. And if you don't care about the environment but do care about your health, take precautions as far as PPE/where you use the machine.
any chance anyone can link or give some suggestions of search terms to try to find this?
For those of us who are spending all of our cognitive horsepower just to keep rowing the boat forward and meeting expectations and don't have spare hours to just wander and contemplate lief and work and motivation and improvements to process or the team, this seems like a recipe for receiving random bullshit answers.
UNLESS - the manager were to schedule time for that pre-work, like setting 30 min on the cal for separately brainstorming answers and then 30 min immediately after discussing anything that came up. Which I _do_ think would be awesome.
But just saying "hey here's a google doc, any time you have a thought pop up during the next couple weeks jot it down" won't even work. You need to schedule and prioritize it agains the other tasks you are asking the report to work on.
Do they feel any guilt? Do they believe their use of carcinogenic substances that do not biodegrade and become dispersed globally with no cleanup mechanism is just....moral? Do they believe anthropogenic industrial activity is just justified by the Good and Benefits it can bring to the world? Do they just assume these small messes we make while advancing Science and Progress will be easily cleaned up by smarter, more powerful humans in the future? Do they just consider the health effects to be worth whatever marginal improvement in waterproofing we get to our fucking disposable plastic cups in return, like smoking a single cigarette being no big deal?
Or do they just choose to ignore the headlines because its uncomfortable to think about how you might be one of the bad guys and their education and skillset is a sunk cost and acknowledging the environmental destruction they wreak would mean giving up a lucrative income, sort of how a FAANG employee might see a headline about IG being bad for teens mental heath and telling themselves 'whatever I'm sure it's not that bad'?

The backpack straps are removable and the bag rolls down quite a bit like most rolltops do. I think the loops where the waist strap is fed through may be a good attachment point but part of me thinks I'd need almost need side baskets or netting or a harness on either side of the rear rack that could just accept a a large bag without the bag itself having any great attachment points.
"That's why we've taken a layered approach, incorporating a variety of high-performance filter media into one powerful filter. Crafted and rigorously tested in the United States, this multi-layered filter is engineered to effectively target both tap water pollutants such as chlorine, microplastics, lead, PFAS, and more, as well as outdoor water contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and microbial cysts like cryptosporidium and giardia."
And the lid and straw itself is also made of plastic. Life is hard and something is better than nothing.
