I thought it meant Thanks For Asking - But I was wrong.

If you’re being pleasant, it’s “the fine article”.
If you’re feeling cheeky, you can pick your own 7 letter word that starts with an “F”.

I think it means "The Featured Article".

#225Well, that is impressive, this year I decided to track some daily data, but much more simple than this.
It's pretty much a Yes/No activity X in that day, besides my weight, which is the exact number.
I'm also using Google Sheet and I'm quite curious if I will be able to keep doing it until the end of the year.

Isn't paying someone else to raise your children... not raising children? It's like comparing a bank with actual gold in a vault and many expensive physical security measures with someone who owns a futures contract with no delivery.
There is a line between completely "outsourcing" raising your children (how I "stereotypically" imagine royal families might do) and getting help with the things that take all your energy but doesn't really contribute to your relationships with your children. Washing clothes, buying groceries, cooking every day are all things that must be done, but it can be done by another person (nanny, au pair, or even grand paren…
As a non-royal yet non-poor person, I have to disagree, in that I find teaching my kids how to live a life an important part of both parenting and living these days.
By that, I mean that the actions of learning how to clean up after oneself, cook, do laundry are things that I do with the kid, and kid takes a certain measure of delight at learning how to do "real" stuff. Sure, we read books and do puzzles and that sort of thing, but there is an appeal to the child at being able to help, being included, and being able to effect change in the world.
I find people who outsource all their menial labor to too often become insufferable and divorced from reality. Organizations suffer, too, from the immaturity of being run by people who can start things but don't have to maintain or finish them; who can just say "get this done" and not have to think about the ramifications. Creativity is actually at its best slightly constrained -- and children do best when they learn to do useful things with their parents, rather than being simple pets for entertainment.
Obviously there are many different cultural approaches to raising children and one of my biases is that I come from a culture that wants kids to both have plenty of outdoor playtime and also contribute materially to the wellbeing of the family (clean up after themselves to some extent, help with home upkeep, etc).

#227I'm not sure how much alcohol you drink - could be one beer / glass of wine / drink, or it could be multiple units - but for your health, I'd recommend that you take a 3 day break between intake. Drinking for 3-7 consecutive days, is not good for your liver, even in smaller quantities.
where is the threshold of # of drinks in a day where daily drinking begins to adversely affect liver? I thought a glass of wine a day was considered neutral or positive, so how many glasses of wine is unehealthy for 3-7 consecutive days?
You can find lots of articles online that dismiss the impacts of regularly drinking small amounts, but I think it's worth considering that the science on this is incomplete and more recent studies seem to be less optimistic about this.
See, for example: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323252#Even-light-...

Yep, you got it right. It used to come from "RTFA" (read the fucking article) years ago when people would ask questions in the comments that were clearly answered in the article, then eventually morphed to include FTFA (from the article) and just TFA.
Edit: just googled this to see if I was giving you wrong info also, and it looks like it came out of RTFM (read the fucking manual) for people in early Unix communities too.

That's all genetics. I know older men with stressful jobs who have been drinking 7-8 drinks a day for the past 40 years and they are happier and have more energy than anyone I've met.
Sure, that's obviously true. Most nutrition and general-purpose health advice is statistically derived, but we don't actually know enough to make decisions based on our individual genetics, so it's the best we can do.

> he specifically did this You got the wrong pronoun. "One gal's quest to optimise her life" is the blog's subtitle.
Are we even allowed to assume 'gal's 'use she/her pronouns' though? More seriously, I never had a problem using 'they' for gender unknown, indeed it was normal and what I was taught in school, and then it suddenly seemed to be he vs. her with 'they' as some weird third thing even fewer people 'identify' as. For centuries we've happily referred to an unspecified person 'with they/them pronouns'.

Fortunately we don't have to, because what she wrote was "One gal's quest to optimise her life."
