    I don't remember the source so, someone please correct me if I'm wrong but, I read that no EV battery can be made for less than $50K. So, either BYD is cutting some serious corners…

    I just watched Oh, God! again. She played that role perfectly. Like, "I'm sure my husband is crazy but I love him and, well, I guess we'll see where this goes."

    Thanks for the clarification.

    I think the food manufacturers are culpable here, and "manufacturer" is really the best word to use. They're more like chemists cobbling together edible compounds than farmers grow…

    You're getting downvoted here but I think there is precedent behind your statement. History is littered with weight loss drugs that had to be pulled because the shoe eventually dro…

    I'm speaking out of turn here since I'm not a React Native developer but, it seems to me that it suffers from the penalty of having to use the JS bridge that neither Flutter nor we…

    I'm also an Apple Vision Pro owner. I don't see it as a flop and here's why: The first Macintosh was, inflation adjusted, double the price of the Apple Vision Pro, and they shipped…

    I personally don't think it's reasonable for a publication to suggest Apple is outright discontinuing a product in the headline, only to reveal that, no, they're actually just maki…

    I can't believe MacRumors has stooped so low. Headline: Apple May Stop Producing Vision Pro by the End of 2024 First paragraph: Apple has abruptly reduced production of the Vision …

    I’m 51 and I’m healthier than I was 20 years ago because I improved my nutrition and started moving my body on a regular basis. I go to the doctor about once a year for a physical …

    In truth, it's usually the opposite when our bodies are fueled properly.

    This is why good quality nutrition is so important. It's like giving all of our cells--not just T cells--extra batteries.

    I love what Scott Hanselman said about this: So, Amazon wants everyone to return to the office. Does that mean they also want us to return to the mall and supporting small local bu…

    One of my co-workers is trying to use one of Microsoft's low/no code platforms to do something with CRM and it's taking her months. I could've built something with code in signific…

    When I first started, I was rarely hungry in the classical sense. Instead, I knew I was hungry because I would suddenly get tired. When I ate, my energy almost immediately returned…

    Personally, I find telling people to eat less doesn't work. In part because the food manufacturers are such masters at making people addicted to their garbage. Eating healthy fats …

    I did keto but people don't need to do that if they eat good quality nutrient-dense foods. Preferably organic and locally-grown, and prioritizing healthy fats, proteins, and comple…

    I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at 44. I was about 40-50lbs overweight and had never been athletic except for a few seasons of soccer and baseball as a young kid. I was amaz…

    "some professors can be downright mean to their students" I've had far too many teachers like this. They should be weeded out, fired immediately, and never allowed in the professio…

    Several people here are saying something like "Life is too short to be miserable. Get out and be happy." I tried that. In the span of a month we had a newborn, I lost my job, the m…

    I’m curious what you don’t like about Dart? I thought I wouldn’t like it but I’ve found it surprisingly nice.

    I would add ultra-processed foods to this as well. I firmly believe that, decades from now, we will look back in horror at what food manufacturers have done to us.

    Can't speak for OP but, in '96 Netscape had just had a wildly successful IPO and talk of the Internet and World Wide Web was everywhere. It was kind-of obvious to anyone who paid a…
