This cars got a face that only a mother (Jony Ive) could love. Honestly it makes a prius look visually pleasing.

> Given some of the retraction of "warm feelings"

Why do you say this? Is this coming from personal experience, or anecdotally?

- I used "Sanctuary city" as a synonym for a "soft on crime" city.

- An example of who I classify as an "activist judge" is Teresa Stokes. She let out the repeat offender with 14 prior arrests that stabbed Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte[1].

As much as I dislike flock. There's definitely a case to be made for the business model where first responder companies can generate huge amounts of taxpayer funded ARR in "sanctuary cities" due to criminals never getting actually serving sentences. If criminals are stuck in the:

"Commit crime -> brief retention period -> activist judge lets you go" loop, then you can definitely build a business model that just capitalizes on the fact that there's no consequences to committing a crime, and local/state governments have to waste copious amount of money due to the incredibly inflated demand of first responder services.

Yeah, basically disinterested. Somewhat burnt out from doing things I normally love doing such as going on walks, programming on weekends, gaming, and work. It wasn't a really big problem, I only noticed it when looking retroactively at my experience.

Mentioned above, but "I worked out 6 days a week still, but swapped out 1 of my leg days for a run day (between 2-4 miles)"

I tried retatrutide for 10 weeks, here are my results: Before: 5'7, ~182lb

Bench 1rm: 315

Squat: 5x10 225

Deadlift: 5x5 315

After: same height lol, 154lb

Bench 1rm: 285

Squat: 5x10 205

Deadlift: 5x5 275

Suffered some anhedonia towards the end but that went away ~1wk after stopping. Overall pretty good, not any side effects. Definitely fixed my food craving problem. I didn't have a high intake of protein during the 10 weeks, so I suspect thats why I lost muscle mass :/

The tooling around finding these references cycles (Instruments) is 2nd to none imo.

theres a github app you can download. I imagine the note editing experience on the mobile app is a bit subpar.

He is doing full time for a local company. Given that he is in his very late 20's (almost 30). He started around 1200Euro but built his way up to his current salary by jumping companies/roles every 2 years for a salary boost (similarly to how its done in the states).

My cousin is in his 20's, roughly makes 10,000/ month (~ $5600 USD). That salary is absolutely amazing. The article states the minimum monthly salary is $320 ( which a large amount of people make, given that Bulgaria lacks a middle class). The reason he stays in Bulgaria is because of that, he wanted to come join me in the US, but he didn't want to emigrate.

edit: mrtksn's comment hits the nail on top of the head.
