it's much funnier now, that by putting it behind a paywall, they're explicitly saying "it's okay for you to do this, you just have to purchase a license first"

you can just french toast anything you have laying around in your fridge or kitchen. they can't stop you.

i've done the french toast pizza and it wasn't bad. not sure if it was worth the effort. maybe there's an ideal type of pizza or combo of toppings that makes this spectacular. either way it's worth trying once just to say you did.

That’s really neat.

I’m ashamed that I have this wish that I were overweight and had an excuse to try a GLP1 just to see how it would affect my impulse control with non-food habits.

I guess there’s not much stopping me from buying some unregulated drugs from the internet and self-experimenting, but I haven’t heard experiences from people deliberately using them for anything but weight.

Do we know that’s an accurate image? The site says it’s an illustration and admits the exterior reveal comes later

I hope it’s not accurate. If so, interior looks more interesting than the exterior

>Maybe the age of new and interesting apps is over?

it's a shame it really feels this way! i discovered some fun social apps recently like Bump and Retro that are a refreshing break from the big algoscrollers, but all my friends are either too locked into the existing big social apps or are determined to not mess with any social apps at all.

i think about this a lot and i genuinely believe that for every fringe diet or supplementation regimen, there exists a population it would genuinely benefit, for at least some point in their lives

but it's tricky to figure out and i assume the consensus rules are good enough for most people

> Doesn't make sense to me that a 400lb obese person would need to consume the same amount of protein as a 400lb lean muscle bodybuilder.

yeah both of those people are extreme cases that would break this very crude formula

i agree that plant proteins usually contain more beneficial minerals than meat, but that also certainly includes lead. whole plants and especially plant-based protein products contain lots of lead, but it's unclear if this is a huge problem

anyway, i don't find anything here that stands out or is obviously against the consensus, other than recommending tallow as a cooking fat. i don't see any signs of seed oil extremism or sat fat trutherism otherwise. there's even this line about limiting sat fat:

> In general, saturated fat consumption should not exceed 10% of total daily calories. Significantly limiting highly processed foods will help meet this goal. More high-quality research is needed to determine which types of dietary fats best support long-term health.

> Protein serving goals: 1.2–1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, adjusting as needed based on your individual caloric requirements.

it's crazy the us gov put this out and is still using kilograms for this formula

I'm not sure if I entirely understand your hypothesis, but I don't think it's 100% on the hardware - I don't think it's due to the hardware of the hardware.

I also have an M2 Air and a few things seem to consistently make my machine get hot and chug and dump the battery. Idling with my machine plugged into my 4k 144hz monitor isn't an issue, but going on a Zoom call or having one too many video streams open while docked to the monitor will do it.

Is my USB controller doing more "work" when I have a video stream open? I don't think so.

I agree that they probably don't serve most people well.

But I know someone that has a huge truck with a cap on his bed (google "pickup truck bed cap" or "topper"). That solves the weather problem and makes you wonder why you don't see more trucks covered up. The answer is obviously it looks less cool and doesn't fit the image. But it serves him well because he works in construction and frequently has the bed full of materials, sometimes which are longer than the bed. And he uses the truck occasionally to tow trailers.

But he's not most people. And he has another car for getting around town when he's not working.
