@CoachDanGo What about once a week? Maybe 200, but only once

I never saw the benefit to doing 100 pushups a day. Sure it’s a challenge. But aside from that there’s no inherent advantage to doing it. It could be even be detrimental in the form of shoulder injuries. It’s an arbitrary challenge with no purpose other than being hard to do.

@ggreenwald I completely disagree. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles at Israel. Obviously a few random ones will get through, unfortunately. But thankfully, Israel is winning this war. You’ve just become an anti Israel propagandist

Dimona is one of the most strategically important places in Israel, for many reasons. If Israel can't even intercept Iranian missiles aimed there, that is an obvious sign of the serious weakening of their air defenses, a development already widely reported.

@avidseries I agree. And the selfishness and narcissism . No desire to repay what your society gave you. I work in finance and have many such colleagues who’s only concern is where they can pay the least taxes

@Math_files This is incorrect. Some of your ancestors shared ancestors in return, ie were distant cousins of each other. Your number of ancestors is much lower. Entire ethnic groups alive today are often descended from just a few hundred or thousand individuals

In order to be born, you needed: 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1,024 eighth great grandparents 2,048 ninth great-grandparents For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years. Think for a moment: How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

@raagulanpathy What’s your view on the UK?

@hubermanlab So is low volume high weight bad? Genuinely wondering

Those of us who have been taking 5-10g (20-30g in the “loading” (we now know not needed) of creatine daily and lifting low volume, heavy 3-4x per week for the last 30+ years will tell you: sometimes the science does catch up, and there will always be people who won’t wait.

@xMunch2 @WarMonitor3 Is this confirmed? I wouldn’t be surprised, just wondering

@WarMonitor3 The team was Israeli commandos, You forgot to mention that.

@MaxAbrahms And the far left ones, even more so…

Iran is too unpopular for this to become a world war. The rightwing podcasters are its only friends.

@siimland Pull ups wide or narrow grip? Latter is much easier

Health stats of the healthiest 10% of the population: - VO2 max ≥48 men, ≥42 women - Pullups ≥10 men, ≥1 women - Resting heart rate ≤55 bpm - Body fat ≤16% men, ≤28% women - Waist-to-hip ratio ≤0.95 men, ≤0.85 women - hsCRP ≤0.5 mg/L - HOMA-IR ≤1.2 - Triglycerides ≤65 mg/dL - Blood pressure ≤120/80 - HDL-c ≥45 mg/dL - Omega-3 Index ≥7% * not age adjusted ** The healthiest 10% of the population is basically above average health, but with room for improvement

If Centrism doesn't mean anything more than recycling the ruling ideology of the past forty years, it is doomed to irrelevance; we need to rethink liberalism for an age of aggressive autocracies, predatory information companies and broken borders: Published on March 12th:

@CoachDanGo You can eliminate meat and be very healthy. Vegan diets - especially whole food, plant based - are associated with longevity

Things I would never to do with my diet - Eliminate meat - Eliminate fruits - Eliminate carbs - Eliminate vegetables A great diet is one that uses all food groups and enjoys life.

@Civixplorer Very inaccurate, especially Latvia

Female phenotypes in Europe and surrounding areas.

The rejection of the meritocratic principle was the most malign, if not malicious, development of recent years. We will be living with its consequences, both in terms of the decay of elite institutions and the anger of the unjustly rejected, for a long time to come.

@ChristianHeiens @BillAckman

Christopher Lasch warned about this over 30 years ago. He said that the emphasis on what eventually became DEI would create a competency crisis that would inevitably destroy multiple institutions once considered essential to American civic life. “The crisis of competence suggests the need for a revisionist interpretation of American history, one that stresses the degree to which liberal democracy has lived off the borrowed capital of moral and religious traditions antedating the rise of liberalism.” - Christopher Lasch, Revolt of the Elites

Beginning in 2014, prestige industries decided they urgently needed to diversify. They didn’t purge established Boomers. Instead, they did everything possible to avoid hiring white millennial men. This is the story of a generation derailed by DEI. compactmag.com/article/the-lo…

@matthewschmitz @DouglasKMurray please repost - this is one of the most articulate and important articles ever published on DEI

@benryanwriter @avidseries @ggreenwald @adwooldridge

This is a blistering and remarkably unflinching account about how entry-level opportunities and early-career advancement for white men in media, Hollywood and academia all but slammed shut in the mid-2010s. Gen X white men, the article asserts, pulled the ladder up behind them, leaving their millennial brethren adrift. The author, Jacob Savage, a millennial aspiring film and TV writer, asks whether this effort to diversify these fields has engendered a media that is more trusted by the public and better television. And he alludes to the rightward drift by young men in particular, embittered by a deck they see as stacked against them. They are made to pay dearly for the sins of their forefathers. Reading about this man going down the rabbit hole of scanning other writers’ bios to try to figure out how they made it and he didn’t is similar to a miserable, compare-and-despair compulsion I’ve thankfully more or less cured myself of in recent years. My own early professional life was marred and derailed by illness: Chronic pain robbed me of the ability to enter the in-person workforce. I watched as my generation marched on without me. I could only blame the unfairness of the health I’d been dealt. I had no one to blame but bad luck. I can imagine that I would feel differently if I was being held back by some external force. (For the record, it took more than 15 years, but I finally got a decent enough handle on my pain by my late 30s—just in time to get cancer instead at 43! I’m 47 now.) compactmag.com/article/the-lo…

@andrewlawrence @grok is this real or fake?
