<p>I would like to see the "increasing" body of evidence pointing towards traditional vaccines.<p>My wife has an autoimmune disease. Most all the evidence points towards gut biome but that shit is super complicated. We have very little research into what our gut  biome needs to be.</p>

<p>I would also mention, just general auto-immune diseases. I would be very worried this could trigger those in people who wouldn't have gotten one otherwise.</p>

<p>Not sure if you will see this.<p>We were buying a sailboat(we actually did it). Wife got diagnosed with cancer.  We talked with doctors about treatment, felt confident with catching it so early.<p>Purchased the sailboat, we live on the sailboat with our two kids, two dogs, and two cats, 6+ months out of the year.<p>What you can't plan for is shit that happens on land. We came back in June 2025, my wife was stopped at a red light and got rear ended by a dump truck. That has put a pause on our sailing life. But we should be getting back out there soon.</p>

<p>I wouldn't argue we should roll this out to everyone.  But I am glad it exists.  I commented earlier in this topic about how it caught cancer in my wife at the age of 44.  She didn't have to go through chemo or radiation treatment because it was caught so early.  Surgery removed the whole cancer.<p>Additionally for me, I have a scan that shows what my body currently has.  I had something show up that I did get a scope to check out that was a pancreatic rest.  No big deal.  Now, if I ever have another MRI and somethings is somewhere else, we have a baseline to compare against.  Everything is a risk calculation.  When I did my MRI, I also had other procedures done like a heart calcium score.<p>I will get a little more personal.  We didn't do it out of the blue.  My wife and I decided we want to live on a sailboat.  That was a big purchase for us and boats take a long time to sell.  We didn't want to commit to such a purchase then 1 year later find out either of us had cancer then we have the stress of cancer and the stress of trying to sell a boat.<p>I would never suggest everyone do it, but I am happy we did.</p>

<p>Yep, I have experience with both.  It found cancer for my wife and she was able to treat it immediately.  Fully recovered.<p>It found a weird spot on me that turned out to a pancreatic rest.<p>The only reason we did the scans were because we were making a significant life decision that we didn’t want to have to backtrack if either got diagnosed with cancer within a year .  We knew nothing was guaranteed but we wanted to do some tests.</p>

<p>Just a high level question.  My youngest son was adopted.  He isn't white.  He is naturalized.  Should we go ahead and renew his passport so he can carry around a passport card at this point(we never got one in the past because they seemed like a waste).  It seems crazy but with people being grabbed off the street for being brown, it seems prudent have a quick way to prove citizenship.</p>

<p>To a point.  If gpt5 takes 3 minutes to output and qwen3 does it in 10 seconds and the agent can iterate 5 times to finish before gpt5, why do I care if gpt5 one shot it and qwen took 5 iterations</p>

<p>Which is crazy to me.  I had purchased international airline tickets 9 months prior to COVID.<p>Covid happened and everything was cancelled.  The airline refused to refund, only give credit.  The issue is that it was on an airline that was useless to me because this trip was cancelled and we were going to be rescheduling.<p>Did a chargeback with Apple even though I was past the date, they still gave me my money back.  I was shocked</p>

<p>Good feedback, we live a somewhat unusual lifestyle.  We are digital nomads that live on a sailboat.  I think some of that is possible and I will recommend he look for some online writing groups but the places we generally sail to are countries where schools/libraries aren’t going to have those types of things.  It is challenge enough flying him back to the US to take AP exams</p>

<p>Dan,<p>Do you have kids?  Outside of discipline, and even there, I want to have a positive relationship with my sons.<p>My oldest knows that I am not a writer, there are a ton areas that I can give legit good advice. I can actually have a fun conversation about his stories, but I have no qualifications to tell him what he might want to change.  I can say what I like but my likes/dislikes are not what an editor does.  I actually stay away from dislikes on his writing because who cares what I don’t like.<p>I would rather encourage him to write, write more, and get some level of feedback even if I don’t think my feedback is valuable.<p>LLMs have been trained on likely all published books, it IS more qualified than me.<p>If he continues to write and gets good enough should he seek a human editor sure.<p>But I never want me to be a reason he backs away from something because my feedback was wrong.  It is easier for people to take critical feedback from a computer than their parents.  Kids want to please and I don’t want him writing stuff because he think it will be up my alley.</p>
