there are 24 players still playing from the previous 2 draft classes, so it is a bit surprising how few from 2010 are left.

When I was looking for coding jobs with a decent portfolio, but no computer science degree I got 1 interview out of 300 applications. They absolutely will not look at you if you don’t have the CS degree, or already know someone at the company who can force you in.

Multiplication is just shorthand for multiple additions. so 2x4 is actually 4+4. If you expand out the multiplication the above equation becomes 2+4+4. It’s not arbitrary, it’s just what multiplication represents.

No no, they meant flood it with water. I’ll get the fire hoses.

Same. I also used to have a great store near me that carried random electronic parts, motors, hobby shit, bits of hardware. Any time I needed to fix something, or wanted to make a little device I could go there for supplies. RIP Active Surplus.

Fair enough, I never keep tabs open myself, but your madness has method.

Don’t forget the regular chemicals. Though I’m a bioanalytical chemist, so I likely use more of those than a typical biochemist.

Everyone has a different natural circadian. Sure you can force yourself to go to bed at a time when your body doesn’t want to and try to “train” yourself, but really you’ll just be tired all the time. Your body does not learn a new time, you just get used to being tired.

I do leave something like ~100 open at a time

That’s… that’s too many tabs.

Hey, if anyone else or any store can get me the things I need within the week I 100% go there. but no one else is stocking specific temperature controllers anywhere near me. I can’t get 3D printer resin anywhere that isn’t a 40 minute drive away. Specific wiring I need, AliExpress is the only other company with it. Amazon stocks a lot of niche things that no one else is carrying.

Not ones that can get me the things I need within the month.

Nah, some shit would take weeks to get to me from the few other alternate vendors, and I;m not waiting that long.

All those plant based alternatives are significantly lacking in most of those nutrients, and aren’t readily absorbed from plant based sources. You have to eat a shitton of them to reach the levels easily attained by eating a few animal products. Most vegans are absolutely deficient in them.

And for more you have Iron and Zinc which our bodies don’t readily absorb from plant based sources.

Calcium and cholesterol are signifantly lacking in vegan diets. Carnatine and carnosine. The other vitamin Bs.

This is a blanket truism for any diet.

Sure, but it’s extra true for vegan diets due to our bodies inability to fully digest most plants, and readily absorb the necessary nutrients from them.

I think the average actor in Hollywood makes like $25 an hour.

It’s also very inconsistent work since you are not always acting in a show or movie, and it can be very tough to book new roles.

Such as?

Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, vitamin A, choline, etc…

And where do the animals get them from?

Many animals are capable of synthesizing these compounds, but humans are not. Our bodies stopped producing them since we could get them through our omnivorous diet.

Vegans can of course take supplements for these, so you can get enough of them, but you do have to think about it and take the right supplements to prevent deficiencies.

Yes, and that’s not a bad thing. Anyone outside of the average in a trait is an outlier. Being 7 feet tall makes one an outlier, being a genius makes one an outlier, etc…

Not sure why you’re so offended.

but I’m not the genius

Neither is Musk

Depends where you live, Popeye’s in my city is great and way better than KFC.

There are certain things I can’t get anywhere near me from anyone other than Amazon, and I live in a city of 6 million people. Sadly I need to use Amazon about once a month. Getting groceries from them is ridiculous though.

The quiver-full people tend to be poorly educated, and tend to fall out of the idea once better educated.
