Anecdote: Once upon a time I was going to see a rental that was listed with a certain price, so I called and booked a showing. The day the showing came the price had risen something absurd like 30% ... The agent smugly told me "That was Monday's price" ... I told him I do not do business with people who bait and switch, and left.

And to stop misinformation in its tracks:

> A March 2021 meta-analysis published in Reproductive Toxicology concluded that neither soy protein nor isoflavone intake significantly affects reproductive hormone levels in men. Analyzing data from 41 studies and 1,753 participants, the researchers found no statistically significant effects on testosterone or estrogen regardless of intake dose or duration.

This is a good thing!

Overall I think this is simply an outcome of NIMBYism, regulators over regulating to justify their existence, and a K shaped economy.

There's nothing wrong with the market building what there is actual money in. No one should be forced to lose money to serve those who cannot afford the product. (That's the space of charities)

Denver seems to have done an amazing job, relative to other places I've been, at actually adding a lot more housing. The market likely would be _worse_ had there not been so much built (and building)

People need to learn the difference between fluid intelligence and crystalized intelligence.

People need to hear that startup success is maximal when the founders are older, not younger. VCs chasing youth are statistics deniers.

- People using devices without headphones

- People having loud phone calls on speakerphone with vulgar language

- People with bad body odor

- People looking to optimize their outcomes, even at the expense of others and net deleterious. (Speaking in numbers, willing to take +1 point of selfish outcome at the cost of several others' -1 leaving a net negative for the group)

Compared to a life rhythm that was intrinsically social: recurring gatherings of your community (which used to mean proximity, not hobby) at a building, being invited to others' houses, a social expectation to be social and host things, recurring interaction with the same people due to a smaller circle. Contrast: today we're expected to leave a group of people to go to school, leave those people to move to a job, leave those people for hobbies and romance, and to never let those circle overlap.

Gym wise: compared to life being heavy, and relatively full of physical effort. (Even just working on a car/wood/metal/house/farm with hand tools for example). Cycling to work has done wonders to bridge this gap for me. I think also the current beauty/attraction aesthetic is hard to approach without dedicated weight training. At the top end of lean muscle mass modern life just isn't heavy enough to stimulate enough muscle growth, and in preferred proportions, unless you're willing to do tons and tons of reps which is exceedingly painful compared to banging out 5-15 of a rep range appropriate weight.

Seems like there are lots of answers: pre-commits, rebase squashes, merge squash...

    git commit --no-verify
    git commit --amend --no-edit

1. Manager: "This should be fast and easy, just Claude it, why is it taking so long, didn't you use claude?"

2. Teammates: "Dont ask me questions, ask Claude. You should be able to teach and onboard yourself"

3. Code Reviewer: "I don't really know the codebase, but claude says this doesnt work so you must fix to agree with claude before I will stamp"

The sentiment is that the latter is more expensive and less flexible than the former... which seems backwards to me. (AI is expensive, robots are mostly not that adaptable to new tasks, automations only really help the most repetitive tasks and they must be rewritten/updated when the task changes)
