  1. Your colon doesn't care how expensive the beef was.
  2. Supplemental fiber is mostly worthless.
  3. Why should they not, what is with this parental-ism? Should Social Security recipients be able to buy candy? Should my employer get to choose what food I can purchase?
  4. There's absolutely no need for the average American to eat more protein, we are eating more protein than ever and health outcomes are not improving. Likewise, the dairy intake recommendation is not backed by any science whatsoever.
  5. He's injecting testosterone. End of discussion.
  6. Why does it matter? Illegal actions are illegal. On the 1 in a million chance this results in things getting better for Venezuela the outcome does not forgive the action.
  7. Do you have zero historical knowledge, like absolutely none?
  8. About the stupidest thing I’ve ever read here. Why does a US perspective not matter when the fucking US conducted the strike? If Russia decides trump stole the election in 2024 you’d just sit back and let them take over?
  9. Oh yes indeed. For example, here's something I was just working on:

    =LET(

      h, ROWS(A2#),
    
      names, A2#,
    
      vals, K2:INDEX(K:K, h+1),
    
      denoms, J2:INDEX(J:J, h+1),
    
      k, 20,
    
      groupAvg, SUMPRODUCT(vals, denoms) / SUM(denoms),
    
      adj, (denoms/(denoms + k))*vals + (k/(denoms + 
    k))groupAvg,

      inc, (names <> "") \* ISNUMBER(vals),
    
      namesF, FILTER(names, inc),
    
      valsF, FILTER(vals, inc),
    
      denomsF, FILTER(denoms, inc),
    
      adjF, FILTER(adj, inc),
    
      r, ROWS(namesF),
    
      nShow, MIN(10, r),
    
      sorted, SORTBY(HSTACK(namesF, valsF, denomsF), adjF, -1),
    
      TAKE(sorted, nShow)
    
    )
  10. What kind of setting do you live in? I live in the outskirts of Denver (Cherry Creek) and commute downtown and I have to intervene all the time.
  11. Let’s use a little logic. What are the “both sides” here? Megacorps with billions vs “local media”? Citizens?

    Yes, that’s a balanced equation.

    Now, do we have any evidence to back complaints?

    Lack of water, unclean water due to data centers:

    Data centers causing energy prices to increase:

    Data center natural gas generators flooding communities with pollution:

    Yes, “both sides”.

  12. I could not be less interested. As the world determine their relationship with their phone needs distance, Zuck has decided everyone wants a phone on their face. Doubt it.
  13. It’s the WiFi, ya sure.
  14. I’ve hunted down a couple old school big screen TVs, the fresnel lenses are awesome toys, you can melt just about anything using them as solar collectors.
  15. Another school shooting in CO today but for some reason this is allowed here.
  16. Name media calling for the death of republicans or republican commentators.

    I can name someone who called Trump a NAZI, JD Vance.

    Go look at Twitter right now, it’s NYE for republicans. They’ve convinced themselves, sans evidence, that this was a leftist shooter. There are literally hundreds of thousands of posts foaming at the mouth that they can now hunt liberals and that the civil war has started. You’re doing the thing you claim to hate and frankly it’s disgusting.

  17. P365 is great if it fits in your hand. But agree, denial has me pretty put off.
  18. I’m not taking odds on an edc item which takes a lot of banging around. Glock 18 is a simple choice.
  19. Ya, so you don’t believe in merit. My view on the world is the truth. Wealth distribution is beyond fucked, pretending otherwise is choosing ignorance.
  20. Wait, do you actually buy into the myth that billionaires are billionaires because of merit?

    Hell, let’s do a true meritocracy. Zero inheritance, zero. High quality public schools for all, homeschooling and private schools made illegal. Public and free health insurance, no private options. Keep that line of thought and you might get close to an actual meritocracy.

  21. They killed the oasis today, sad day.
  22. You're kidding yourself if you think Pogacar would run 30mm tires at 55 PSI at the detriment of speed to please his sponsors. Cyclists are notorious for re-badging stuff they don't want to use and being super finicky with their gear. You're talking about guys that hardly celebrate a win with a $250k purse because they want to make sure they stopped their ride right on the finish line on their headunit.
  23. As a cyclist, this is a situation in which I find this type of reviewing close to worthless to be honest. Throwing a tire on a metal roller is very far removed from riding unless you're on a velodrome or perfectly maintained road. This has led to a lot of push-back in the cycling community against this site and its findings. Their testing methodology, especially before they made recent changes, largely will prefer skinny, highly inflated tires. But in the real world, everyone is finding fatter, less inflated tires are faster, because in the real world compliance (smoothly rolling over every road variation, rock or pebble) is faster.
  24. Most are cheap junk bought sight unseen. My stressless couches are built from real wood, full grain leather, etc... My eames chair likewise. But you're adding a 5-10x multiplyer to furniture costs for that quality.
  25. I've been using Bluesky for a week and I'm impressed. I actually appreciate that there is less media, it's more about conversation. So far it feels very much like Twitter before it became a cesspool. I'm conversing with local journalists, prominent scientists, sci-fi authors, etc... It's wonderful.
  26. Have you ever used the stuff? Because by the end of the growing season it very much is shredded plastic.
  27. No one is more insulated than SCOTUS, period, end of story. Your point is moot.
  28. You know what else gets me about union opposition? Unions help everyone. When I was managing union employees, despite not being in the union as a manager myself, I was paid better, had better benefits, etc... Rising tides lift all ships.
  29. SCOTUS has to be checked somehow. Make no mistake about it, this is another power grab. This SCOTUS is snatching up Executive and Congressional powers day after day and assigning them unto itself. Do Conservatives really want to live in a world where courts and often ultimately SCOTUS are deciding labor matters, which drugs are safe & efficacious, whether or not it's safe for PFAS to be in your drinking water? Because this, Chevron, and other cases being heard and under review are on the path to do just that.
