The enterprise architecture group at my employer seems to do nothing but introduce unnecessary bureaucracy and mandate tech choices with no input from those who have to use it.

Great except when your employer implements a 90 day shred policy in your mail and says anything you want to save needs to be moved to project folders.

Big depositors are moving their money out of small banks and into big banks because they see that big banks will get bailouts if they get into trouble whereas small banks will only get the 250k insurance.

Nice bit of consolidation. will make it easier for the gov to roll out central bank digital currency and obtain even more control over our lives.

I'd love to do this, and could afford it.

I'm old enough (40s) that I fear my career would never recover.

there it is, the real reason for your moronic refusal to acknowledge the complexity of obesity. if it's just a matter of willpower alone, you get to get a nice little sense of superiority and an ego boost. everyone else is just stupid and lazy.

"The human body requires a constant amount of energy for basic operation and activity. "

no, it doesn't. the amount it uses for basic operation and activity will change. shrinking in response to your attempts to lose weight.

"When you say this do you mean "we have to look for the underlying causes of calorie imbalance" or do you mean "the human body is capable of materializing mass out of nothing"?"

when you say this, you reveal your ignorance of the biology that makes it far more challenging for some people to "eat less" than others, and that changes their metabolism to combat the weight loss if they do happen to "eat less" for some time.

I'm not prepping at all. If a real "world war" breaks out with china I assume it will use bioweapons and other new shit and we'll all be done for fast (both sides).

“ The hard truth is that bicycles are still largely seen as a nuisance on the road. ”

Often they are. Like taking up the whole lane and forcing a mass number of cars to bottleneck at bike speeds.
