I always loved BMWs from the 80s and 90s, but settled on Volkswagens because I was just a poor teen or early 20 year old. Finally got the means to buy a top of the line X7, and hav…

I thought the same as you and delayed having a second kid as a result. Ended up having two more. The second kid was so much different than the first, slept fine, is way more emotio…

This is not even remotely true. I have done a decent amount of shooting, some dedicated training, and own multiple firearms of different types including AR style rifles. Your sort …

I moved to gigabyte for epyc builds, they seem to run a bit quicker than super micro on initial launch and product line updates.

Quite the dichotomy we have in tech. "Eh, that's progress" in one conversation, and "I can't believe they would vote against their own interests".

I ended up getting gifted a set by America's Test Kitchen. Their website is pretty bad, they actually have some fundamental books - chicken dishes, side dishes, fish dishes, etc wi…

On general aviation planes there are usually two altimeters that are independent. The instrument a pilot uses to fly with (round dial gauge or digital version in glass cockpit) and…

The parent poster is getting downvoted, for I think obvious reasons (instantly bringing a broader topic to a narrow political hot take), but I don't think they are wrong. From what…

I generally don’t think all people are equally capable. I have a kid with fairly severe adhd, and i am mildly affected myself. I’m very familiar with executive dysfunction. What I …

Thanks for the detailed response. Sounds like what I do too, but for the social component I try and find someone learning the same thing. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes not. Like…

If it’s important, why cede control of your own discipline to a notification loop of a for-profit company? A technique I like to use is to wake up an hour early everyday and do som…

Just read a fiction book that had this as the premise in a war between china and the USA. China took the high orbits and blasted the low. Personally I thought it was a a very inter…

I personally prefer another definition of culture war that rises above the ever-changing ground-level arguments. This would be the belief that a person is ultimately responsible fo…

Walk into a big lots or harbor freight here in the US, it’s the same thing. It’s a crazy intense smell, I know exactly what you are talking about. My wife thinks I am crazy, but it…

Lots of opportunities for friendship in something like jiu jitsu. It's not for everyone, but it's interesting because it is a physically close sport, you get used to basically hugg…

From personal experience with a teenager - you can't stop it. They get a device from their friend, they are easy to find. They keep them hidden, and you only find them by being a t…

One example is an iron overload disorder. Excess iron accumulates in various organs including your pancreas, liver, and pituitary gland. Catch it early and you can avoid liver cirr…

+1 +1 +1 to Peter Attia, huge amounts of great content. My philosophy is that if there's any single topic where I should be spending five hours a month researching, it's personal h…

I would recommend anyone to experiment with this. I did, and found out I was more glucose sensitive than I expected. This led me to get more broad labs done, with which I was able …

How can you consider yourself to have won the game when you clearly describe being unhappy with life? Maybe introspect a bit and consider some change.

Late reply so you probably won't see this, but how so? They are extremely reliable, extremely common (parts availability top notch), ammo availability is second only to a 9mm pisto…

Spot on. BMI is a bad indicator of individual health and fitness. I have a BMI of 25 right now but that’s because I added 14lbs of muscle over the last year while dropping a couple…

Assuming you read the news, that is not true. It’s the communication and social channel of choice for modern journalists, and the way it’s used by said groups absolutely influences…

When I was in my twenties, I thought having a family before you were in your thirties meant you were kinda dumb. That’s what people who didn’t have ambitions did. Fast forward to n…
