Oof. Sorry. Didn't mean to force you to take time explaining.
But I guess that's what I ended up doing.
'pologies.

Block limit on the free plan should only be applied to shared content. Un-shared stuff should be unlimited.
And when I've paid to put an assistant on my wiki, it was only 8$/seat.
So ... I guess you've got a team of 3 you need to share with?

It's great because if I DO end up dropping into infodump mode, I can go pages deep, easily drop in pics, spreadsheets, whatever.
So I can leave a to-do there, and get back to what I need to be doing, 'cause it'll be there when it's time. Or when the urge strikes, it's also my hyperfocus buddy.

Notion is like, the main tool I use, day after day. Speaking as a fellow neurodivergent, the ease with which I can just ... unshelve my thoughts there, and know that it'll keep them semi-tidy until I'm ready to come back to that ... it's one of the main things that lets me regulate my focus.

BSky doesn't bury your posts. Posting the same thing more than once just spams the feeds of your followers. This isn't facebook.
Please don't do this. I don't want to have to unfollow NPR.

It's just such a flawlessly elemental statement:
If you hurt others without justification, you should be the one who ends up getting spanked.
It really is as simple as that.

This is why we take care to yes, conflate Turing's chemical castration with his suicide.
His friends tell us the two were linked.
When he was given the injection, he lost not only his sex drive, but his genius too.
And with that, his will to live.

And consider the gifts Turing had left to give us.
This conversation is taking place because of Turing: We're speaking through computers that are based on Turing's designs. Every modern computer you have ever used is a variation on The Turing Machine.
Who knows what gifts we lost, when Turing died

A full year more, of World War II.
Consider the implications for a moment. A full year more of battlefield deaths. A full year more for the Death Camps to turn humans into leather and smoke.

Historians who've gone back and looked at Turing's life have estimated that, while the allies would have still won the war without his contributions, it would have gone on an entire year longer.

Everything he'd been working on, all his hopes, were tied up in the identity of being a thinker. Chemical castration took that away from him.

The hormones that manage our sex have many other effects on the body. Injecting someone with a cocktail that burns out the body's ability to make sex hormones can have unexpected side effects.
In Turing's case, it seems to have stripped him of his genius.

People conflate it because many friends close to Turing said that his suicide was brought on by the chemical castration.
For months leading up to suicide, after he'd been chemically castrated for the crime of being homosexual, he reported that he couldn't think like before, couldn't focus.

I'm trying to find references to tie these specific claims to the lines of the bill, but coming up dry on many of them.
Do you know where these assertions are sourced?

Not any bodybuilders I know.
The only caution I've ever heard anyone throw at plant protein is "It doesn't seem to be as bioavailable, so eat a little more of it to make up for that.".

Study group size n=6 and the study was done on MPS immediately after exercise. Actual long term muscle growth wasn't studied.
Do follow up studies, and then we might have some overturned assumptions. This study, in isolation, is not significant.

In historic sieges, 3 months was about how long it took for cities to start seeing the first cases of cannibalism. Lauro Martines explores the use of siege in warfare in his book "Furies". The pattern of how sieges develop is predictable.
That's for cities that weren't returning to a siege state.

Notice that the current proposal before congress only applies to themselves; it doesn't apply to the executive.
Sure, leave judges out of it; if you're appointed for an indefinite term, not having control of your own retirement account *maybe forever* is a valid carve-out.
But the executive? No.

It was voted down. Two more republicans crossed the aisle to vote to end the "emergency" that permits presidential tariff levies.
Here's an analysis from a libertarian who's hopping mad at these tariffs; he thinks that the two senators who missed the vote would have passed it if they'd been there.

Re: Who's Dr. Mike: He's a PhD sports scientist. He'll give hot takes, but he also reads deeper than many of his evidence-based-fitness-peers, going past the headlines into what the full text of the paper said.

Housing as a safe haven for capital doesn't look so safe.

We're already seeing a brain drain. "The Best and the Brightest" aren't coming to America any more. Europe is the new destination.
And some in America are quietly packing up and fleeing, too. A few of my friends have already left. And more are finalizing their escape plans.

And it's working. Fewer and fewer immigrants are showing up at the border.
Fewer and fewer families fleeing gang violence in Central America think that the is U.S. is safer. Better to stay home with the warring mafias you know than be trapped in a US detention center.

These houses are In America.
That was great when people were in love with the idea of America. When people the world over wanted to come to The Land of Opportunity.
But the current administration's other big enemy is immigrants. They're doing everything they can to scare immigrants away.

Supply: Constrained.
Demand: Growing faster than supply.
Reliable result: Prices go up.

Meanwhile, demand kept growing. The population of America was climbing thanks to immigration. Like almost all prosperous countries, we don't have enough births to reach the replacement rate; our population would be shrinking.
But it grows because we're prosperous and people want to come here.
