Lowering stomach acid can throttle calcium absorption so is linked to osteoporosis but i don’t know how common that is in practice.

Can also lower iron absorption

In NYC you are spoiled for choice, my go-to is Mani marketplace that periodically gets a batch in from their dad's grove in the Mani :)

> The packing tips here are utter nonsense, as well as the suggestion that you get better exchange rates with cash than with credit cards.

I was surprised on a recent trip to Europe that my (fee-free) credit card got me almost exactly the exchange rate I see on Google. Much better than ATM withdrawal with fees or any posted rate I saw in towns. Also all the internet advice about needing cash left me with lots of unspent euros and zlotys, I used apple pay almost everywhere (in fact my cash was refused in some places!) Maybe a covid-times switch away from cash, not sure.

>Also all the internet advice about needing cash

I always want to have some cash but it really depends on the country and location how much.

I just got back from London and Dublin. I took my ziplocks of pounds and euros over and, aside from tossing some coins in the donation bucket at a London museum (and I think you could donate digitally) and using my Oyster card, I didn't spend a single coin or note. On the other hand, if I were doing an extended walk in the English countryside, I would absolutely want to have a couple hundred pounds with me.

I have a feeling my widespread traveling pre-COVID during which I pretty much figured I'd always have a use for most of my baggies of foreign currency is going to leave me with a fair bit of unused cash going forward.

As if the workers don't care about inflation and it doesn't affect their financial stability? At the lower wage end these price increases are eating up all of their nominal wage growth and more. There is a reason this inflation has become such a major political issue, people are angry about it. So yes, slowing the economy will slow down business demand e.g. for oil and that will bring some stability to gasoline prices. Powell's wishlist I'm sure is that companies will be able to freeze wages and stop new hiring for a while but avoid mass layoffs. That may not work out but the conspiracist mindset is absurd.

This is misleading for athletes and the article is clear that the BMI increase could be due to sports nutrition and new training methods.

Good science always leaves the door open to alternative explanations, even when it may be unlikely. In this case the researchers were relying on BMI to measure obesity. BMI doesn't account for musculature. To not even consider this possibility would be the domain of agenda-driven research, which this paper clearly was not.

Here is a link to the actual paper [1]. Their concluding statement was:

"Professional athletes are not immune from the growing obesity crisis and may not provide optimal role models of health. Concussions have drawn attention to overlooked long-term health consequences of sport participation. Increasing body mass in professional baseball players warrants similar attention for its potential impact on long-term morbidity and mortality because these players hold a special place as role models of health and human performance in our society."

Spot on. BMI is a bad indicator of individual health and fitness. I have a BMI of 25 right now but that’s because I added 14lbs of muscle over the last year while dropping a couple pounds of fat. Body fat percentage sitting at 18%.

Now, there are lots of big boys in the NFL that definitely have a couple extra pounds on them, which could also be skewing numbers.

I saw an etsy tv ad the other day. My wife is an etsy seller so I thought this was interesting. They pitched it as a place where you can find someone to put your logo on a sign. The interaction with the seller was minimal, their name was even shown as anonymous "etsy seller". This seems like a use case that a bigger co could easily support and downplays the value prop of etsy as a place to connect with a craftsperson/artist to buy their work or commission a unique piece. I guess they are trying to move away from that model to more print-stuff-on-signs/shirts/etc.

funny i am the exact opposite, always disappointed when the bag of carrots I bought is full of skinny little guys. so much more chopping to get the same amount of carrot!

Also, more peeling because of the higher surface area to volume ratio!

Not for title III. As another poster here asked this remains unclear whether a web-only SaaS business needs to comply.

seems you've got the idea that you 100% believe is true, now search for people who disagree :)

Consider the american built environment since WW2, gas at 7.50/gal would simply make many people’s daily lives unaffordable, and the most impacted people have the largest clout politically due to the rural bias at every level of our government. We would happily commit climate suicide first.

It would make people buy electric cars, or just trade 20 mpg SUVs for 40 mpg small cars.

If there is a rural bias, the solution would be to subsidize the rural areas to buy their votes. The solution to a problem of the commons, and the distribution of benefits, are separable (Coase Theorem).
