While suboptimal, I’d consider looking out of town, and doing most visits via telehealth. The downside is needing to travel further when you need to see an healthcare provider in person.

I haven’t checked prices in years, but it was a couple grand to ship a car in the early 2000s, IIRC. AI says $1500-3500 now, but there may be other “fees”. Compounding the problem, Matson, the island’s main shipping company, just announced a moratorium on transporting EVs, due to fire risk...

There are studies on weight based creatine dosing for muscle growth, whose results are inconsistent. They sometime include both “loading” and “maintenance” dosing. Moreover, needs seem to differ based on age, gender, and training status, among other variables. It’s further clouded by (poorly...

Also doesn’t work in geographically isolated places, particularly those in the middle of the Pacific. Less competition, and inventory put the buyer at a disadvantage. On top of that, multi thousand dollar “market adjustment” fees are tacked on arbitrarily, such that negotiations start high...

Thanks. As far as I know, my dad only had two children, me and my sister, likely his only beneficiaries. We’re both alive. I called her yesterday to see what documents she has, but it sounds like it may be worthwhile to contact the insurer as well.

Yeah, for most people, intake of grilled meats isn’t enough to move the needle much. My comments were mostly to clarify that grilled/smoked meats are indeed processed, and not particularly healthy, by any metric. And while I generally agree with avoiding making perfect enemy of the good...

Georgia. Not together during census. I was born in an election year, and he moved out before I was 3, so unclear if he registered to vote at that address while I was alive.

I searched the database. The policy is legit. Claiming may not be super easy though, as it involves several pieces of supporting documentation I don’t have. Death certificate I can get, but I also need proof my dad lived in my childhood home. My parents were divorced when I was 3, and he never...

Agree 💯 I’ve long said 90%+ of what doctors do could be accomplished by chimps; the other 10% is where they show their value. But AI can perform that 10% better than humans. Since medicine is mostly pattern recognition, AI’s ability to access/process information so much more quickly, at...

I know this is a weight loss thread, but there are 4 supplements which have convincing data as ergogenic (performance enhancing) aids: 1. Caffeine 2. Creatine 3. Sodium bicarbonate 4. Beta-alanine

Received notice from Govrecover in the mail, regarding an unclaimed life insurance payout. It claimed the account was dormant since 1992, the date of my dad’s death. He definitely had life insurance, but not with Nationwide, as stipulated in the letter. My gut told me this was a scam, but the...

ChatGPT says:

Our remote has a tiny solar cell on the non-button side. Seems silly to me. Do most people’s remotes have a lot of exposure to direct sunlight?
