I wrote Daniel an email once from a personal (non-academic) account once as I felt like there was something meaningful to discuss, though I didn't expect a response. He did indeed reply, and seemed remarkably down to earth and genuine considering he was something of a rockstar in pop-sci/psych. RIP.

+1 on L-citrulline, caution on supplement quality - many manufacturers sell 2:1 citrulline malate to reduce costs which means you effectively need to double the dose to actually consume a given target dose.

Seasoned (non-enhanced) lifter here with a science background

There is a solid evidence base for creatine - it's one of the only supplements that actually has a decent evidence base. It's also relatively cheap and generic brands work.

Generally with the fitness industry, the key is looking for the quality sources of information. There are some good resources out there focussed on an evidence based and naturals or being open & transparent with information about "the dark side"...

- SSD abel - Geoffrey Verity Schofield - Team 3DMJ - Dr Mike Israetel - Stronger by Science - Brains and Gains with Dr. David Maconi

Also.....one of the biggest benefits of regular exercise and lifting for me personally is the mental health side of things. Really can't overstate this.

Not a tax expert here.

Singapore has a progressive personal tax system with top personal tax rate of 22% (i have not looked at Dubai).

The UK also has a progressive personal tax system, they just cut their top rate of tax from 45% to 40%

Corporate tax is 17% in Singapore, and 19% in the UK.

Also factor in, Ireland has a corporate tax rate of 12.5% and progressive tax rate up to 40%.

This cut seems meaningful from a market confidence perspective, it is unclear how the UK intends to fund these tax cuts in tandem with energy bailouts. Economists have taken a view that the books do not balance here. The UK has suggested that economic "growth" will solve the problem. In terms of attracting talent and businesses (and now possibly investment) to drive that growth as an alternative to the likes of Singapore or Ireland it seems unlikely.

During my masters i used DMSO as a carrier for various lab experiments. The general consensus was to avoid skin contact with it.

I don't know how the study was set up because i haven't looked yet, i will be looking to see if being awake vs asleep is a confounding variable.

Sorry i haven't look at this properly yet - keen to know if i can upload a customer pre-trained model using any of the popular libraries (pytorch, keras etc) and just do the deployment as an app with Slai?

the newcastle diet has had data on this for a while.

https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/newcastle-study-600-calorie-...

Keto, vegan, high carb, low carb, - it really doesn't matter in terms of creating a significant energy deficit for a sustained period of time - the best diet is one that an individual can adhere to.

"This is terribly wrong information, to the point of causing more harm to people who take it seriously."

^ this is generally correct for many of the classes of substances mentioned; however, it is also terribly wrong information concerning Opiate withdrawal.

I'm not sure in terms of case numbers - people can and do die from Opiate withdrawal due to vomiting and diarrhea leading to dehydration and/or heart failure due to elevated sodium levels.

This is clearly very preventable from a harm reduction perspective with the correct information.
