Nothing comes to mind for the moment but I'll just note that I never quite realized just how many services (subroutines?) are active beneath my front of consciousness until somewhat recently. Our brains really are like Inside Out with various specialties around a conference table talking, with one or more hijacking the meeting occasionally.

Exactly. No Newsom, and no Shapiro for the love of pasta.

I'd take Walz or Mark Kelly if we're going to go that "cautious" bullshit any day. Shit, if we want to just automatically win then Michelle Obama should run.

But if we want true progress, well then that's another story.

I love Canadians but please don't return! Both for your safety and to send an economic message to all the shortsighted fools. It's the only way some might wake up.

Well at least I don't have porn in my profile but I realize I do sound like an LLM at times in my comments... Though I guess that's to be expected depending on the material they train on.

Absolutely! I admittedly fell for this for many years as a runner, but these days I do just some light/moderate squats, leg extensions, curls, alongside sprints/inclines, etc. and it's made a big difference! Especially in stability.

I'd like to suggest they may be more complementary than strictly achieving the same, which seems like why most studies suggest trying to perform a mixture. Of course, something is better than nothing relative to your interest and limitations! (eg, arthritis, joint issues, preexisting conditions etc.)

Speaking only for myself, I definitely feel the best mentally and physically when balancing the two. And if I happen to take a break from both, boy, does my mental state nose-dive within 2 weeks.

This is very good, and it's also worth noting that the benefits can also come from aerobic exercise; and if your joints or back are an issue for waking/running, consider cycling or swimming. Ideally, I think one would do a mixture of both resistance training and steady-state cardio; then later, if fit enough, some HIIT. Worth noting I think that when it comes to something as intensive on the body as going through chemotherapy, strong studies suggest pretty big benefits, which would apply to anyone with energy-based issues, presumably.

The beauty of light aerobic is that to get the benefits of increased energy, you can need only do light aerobic activity that is (a) easy to recover from, and (b) increase mitochondria count, and (c) lowers your weight which translates to a myriad of downstream benefits including less energy consumed at baseline throughout your day.

I was told exactly the same thing years ago but admittedly never followed up with the Endocrinologist (many reasons). Like I was surging LH, but the response in the nethers wasn't there.

The good news is bloodwork on a later routine visit showed my T levels seemed pretty normal.

Out of curiosity did your endocrinologist have any theories why this disruption between messaging and production was occurring?

I feel like I'm you about two decades behind, so this concerns me lol. I've always been thin, always high metabolism, and generally have a ton of energy.

However I will say: The first time I've experienced true, relentless fatigue was with raising a child lol. You just can't turn your brain off and consistent, quality sleep tends to be a thing of the past. There's just damage done when you get that much consistent sleep loss. You can't just "catch up" without some damage being done, I think.

My goals to age as best as I can (and know that I will inevitably fail at some point) is to remain pretty physically active especially in terms of aerobic exercise. I'll stick with my whole foods plant-based diet that has worked well for me for going on 20 years now, and doing my best to lower my stress with hobbies and family, etc.

What do you mean? Yeah I'm not one to suggest people need to be roiding up or anything, and usually low T levels is indicative of some other upstream issue whether deficiency, lack of fitness, socialization, exercise, etc., but it's worth checking with doctor.

One by one all the "house" minority pawns will be pushed out.

Relevant documentary on The Science of Touch I watched a few years back. I think they mention force and speed matter in stimulating oxytocin.

As a general rule you can have versatility, or efficiency but not both.

You can have legible coding or efficient coding but not both.

Memory is comparatively cheap, which means labor hours is comparatively more costly; so why spend time optimizing when you can throw together bloated boilerplate frameworks and packages?

Hmm.. I tend to like his no-BS approach with giving it back to Republicans, but I'm not yet sold overall.

Porter was long my hope but unless it was smear, she's been revealing herself to he a bit like Klobuchar. Though I also know stress can be massive during these things.

I actually liked Tom Steyer quite a lot during the 2020 primaries, placing him well ahead of most contenders and far above Biden.

Many of the traits of childhood are wonderful and you should cling to them. Sense of wonder and curiosity, goofiness, don't take yourself too seriousky, adventure, physicality, etc.

I think I get what you're saying, that sometimes one wonders if relative to some of your peers of you're "achieving" enough. That's a trickier question because some introspection from this is good.

• Are you truly content?
• Is your future somewhat secured? (forward-thinking with finances, career, health). Or are you doing the more reckless Yolo teenage thing? (this aspect of being a child, especially if one has kids, I'd say isn't good lol).

They really are! I've brushed against these climbing communities before and long been drawn to go (for many reasons haven't). Why is this? Why does it seem like this attracts chill people?

Lately I've realized I need to get back into some sport again, whether that's pick-up soccer, racquetball, climbing or something... Good for the soul. Too old for hockey now, I think lol.

They aren't the first, and won't be the last. It's so fucking sad.

I haven't look into it with any depth, but I kind of feel recall elections should be possible especially for US Senators.

Meh Adelita Grijalva is 55 and just did the same.

Geriatrics are a problem though, I get it.
