  • Calories are absolutely not calories. Being underweight is not a free pass to the buffet. The habits we create for our kids will become lifelong struggles. Normalize healthy eating and help them learn to make good choices.

  • Pizza strata
  • I use metal, but make sure it's slotted otherwise you cake your dough up with flour/semolina/cornmeal. My personal go-to is semolina. You don't need much and excess falls away more readily than flour.

    Wood or metal, it's more about technique at the end of the day.

  • "Outdoor Cat vs Indoor Cat" by Sarah Andersen
  • Sometimes, you gotta do what's best for your cat. We have one that just couldn't handle being indoors full-time. We put a Tractive GPS tracker on his collar. It gives peace of mind and if anything happens, at least we'll know when to find him. He's living his best cat life.

  • Ford is cutting F-150 Lightning production due to waning demand
  • We have an outback and a model y. The experience in purchasing both was pretty similar. Every other dealership I went to would aggressively upset crap and grossly inflate the sticker price. I don't foresee buying anything other than a Tesla simply for the great charging network and purchase experience. Plus, I personally hate buttons everywhere.

  • It's good to have a variety of brew methods available. I have my V60 and my French Press, but during the week my mornings get busy and I can easily polish off a pot on my own so I opt for my Moccamaster. It makes a solid clean cup.

  • How far is reverse aging tech?
  • Should we hope to get drugs/treatment to cure this in the next 10/30/50 years?

    I sure hope not. What a shit show that would be. People need to die, it's just part of life. Assuming it would even be possible, don't think for a second us normies would be eligible. This would be for Trump, Musk, Bezos, etc. I couldn't imagine how it would impact resources and population overtime.

    These days, bot nets for hire are easy to come by and you can rotate your IP on every request limiting you controls to simply block known bad IPs and data server IPs.

  • Ah, good ol' perpetuation of bullshit.

    Just like in Western medicine, sure, there exists a handful of quack Chiro's that give the profession a bad name. And many who have not evolved with the research.

    Modern Chiro's are not just focused on spinal manipulation. They incorporate a diverse set of techniques, including a lot of PT rehabilitation overlap.

    However... Some of us do require that temporary relief that only an adjustment can provide. I myself joint disorders that lead to an uncomfortable increase of pressure that needs release. I can pretty much 'pop' nearly every bone in my body. I hate it, but that's how my body is. They are all different. Chiro's have a place, maybe they don't work for you, but they are Doctors, and for many of us, they provide relief that others cannot.

  • Your perennial reminder that Keven Sorbo is an idiot.
  • Even worse

    Modern red suited Santa was reimagined and heavily commercialized by Coca-Cola and Christmas was appropriated from Sol Invictus. Nobody even knows when Jesus was born.

    Colonization and commercialization at their best.

  • Only 60% of student loan borrowers made payments when bills restarted in the US
  • Answering my own doubt. This is pulled from another post.

    "This is only true if your monthly payment is lower than the monthly interest. In this case the government subsidizes and you do not accrue interest, but you also do not make progress towards your loan. In the other scenario, which happens to be my case, where the monthly payment is higher than the monthly interest, there is no subsidy, and interest accrues, but I make progress towards my loan."

  • Only 60% of student loan borrowers made payments when bills restarted in the US
  • How so? I am on SAVE and have been hit hard by interest since September.

    I could care less about forgiveness. I knew what I was getting myself into. But 0% interest after paying a certain amount really needs to be a thing.

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • That's not exactly the truth.

    Yes, there are plenty of medical practitioners that poorly represent their profession. I'm sure you could easily apply the same logic here to PT, NP, DO, MD, etc.

    What should be emphasized is that Chiropractic has heavily evolved, like any other healthcare field and there is a high degree of overlap between PT and DC methodologies. So much so, PT has lobbied for adoption of joint manipulation.

    A good DC won't limit themselves to 5 minutes visits for a quick adjustment. A good DC is evidence-based, incorporates rehab and education, and provides care to the body and systems.

  • YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
  • Correct, they are Doctors of Chiropractic.

    Unfortunately a lot of misinformation exists which has hurt the field.

    Oddly, people have no problem shitting all over this profession but yet religiously trust Western medicine and pharmaceuticals... And people still die.

    Maybe lead with facts instead of spreading FUD?

    www.kristv.com Student loan borrowers aren't happy with the decision to cancel student loan forgiveness

    Recently, the Supreme Court made the decision to block President Biden's plan to forgive some people's student loan debt.

    Such a terrible piece.

    Making a generalized statement and interviewing one college student who recently graduated.

    While I wouldn't dismiss new grads in these discussions, as the inflated cost of tuition impacts them, it's the existing loan holders that have been making an effort to pay down debt and end up with a balance 2x+ higher due to interest that we need to address.

    Distracting people with free money and more payment options is a ruse. If I have a lower payment, over time, it just allows the balance to grow even more.

    thehill.com Student debt: White House faces backlash for restarting interest on loans

    The White House is facing backlash about its decision to reactivate interest for student loans as part of its “on-ramp” repayment program, which progressives and advocates argue isn’t enough to hel…

    Such a mess, and overly politicized.

    The biggest issue I have is how the interest rates have made it incredibly difficult for people just beginning their careers to get ahead of the growth curve that a low paying job and high interest debt creates.

    How did we even get here? Talking with my Dad and my wife, we've seen such a massive spike in both tuition and interest over the last 20 years.

    Debt should be paid, and loans should have interest, but, they should be reasonable. This is a profit machine that preys on the young, uneducated, and inexperienced.

    Mistakes were made...

    All in all, first real pizza fail in like, ten years. I've dropped them, torn them, had to repurpose some as calzones.

    Bottom on this one got too thin and wet while teaching my daughter how to make her own pie. Went to turn it in my dome and it ripped right through. Fortunately, I was able to burn the oven clean in 5-10 minutes and get another one on.
