Claude Cowork can apply to 50 jobs in under 30 minutes. Here's how to set it up.
Here is the only way you solve the Jose Garza problem. He won’t be voted out. No elected DA is going to seriously entertain a removal suit. You’re stuck with him as long as the legislature has Travis County in its own judicial district. Have the Legislature draw Travis County into the jurisdiction of the 33rd Judicial District Attorney’s Office in Burnet. That office already has jurisdiction over 4 other counties. Jose can be the first elected DA to preside over nothing.
The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me.
Prior to their new “Constitution,” @AnthropicAI had an old one they desperately tried to delete from the internet. “Choose the response that is least likely to be viewed as harmful or offensive to a non-western cultural tradition of any sort.”
This is CRAZY. It turns out Jack Dorsey's Block $XYZ spent $68 million on a single party in September 2025, roughly the annual payroll for 200 employees at $340,000 each. Then 5 months later, he laid off 4,000 people (40% of the company's workforce), citing AI and "intelligence tools" as a reason. Many people are speculating the real reason is poor planning and overspending, not AI.
Fasting is making most of you worse and the "mental clarity" you feel is literally a stress response I know this is going to piss people off but I don't care because the science is so clear it's embarrassing… You skip meals. Blood sugar drops. Body doesn't have incoming glucose so it hits the panic button. Cortisol spikes. Adrenaline spikes. Liver dumps glycogen. Free fatty acids flood the bloodstream You feel sharp. Focused. Clean Same neurochemical cocktail as nearly getting hit by a car. Your body is mobilizing emergency reserves because you stopped feeding it. That's all that's happening In a well-nourished person with deep metabolic reserves this is totally fine. Buffer the stress, carry on, no damage But most guys doing 18-hour fasts are already running on fumes. Thyroid sluggish. Cortisol already jacked. Sleep is ass. Digestion compromised. These are the exact people who swear fasting is the best thing they've ever done (because stress hormones feel incredible when you've got nothing else running) and they're the ones being wrecked by it Had a guy come to me doing OMAD for 8 months. Swore by it. Cold hands, terrible sleep, couldn't build muscle, libido completely gone. I told him to eat 3 meals a day for 3 weeks and he looked at me like I was stupid Within 3 weeks his hands were warm and he slept through the night for the first time in over a year. Didn't change anything else Every fast in a depleted system borrows from reserves you don't have. The bill shows up later. Thyroid downregulates further. Gut permeability worsens (cortisol eats the intestinal lining btw, most people don't know this). Hands get colder. Sleep gets worse. Muscle wastes The person who needs fasting the least benefits the most from it The person convinced it's "saving" them is accelerating their own decline Sounds counterintuitive but it's pretty simple once you get it. Stress hormones feel like energy. That's the whole trick. Your body is screaming for fuel and you're interpreting the scream as "wow I feel great without food" Eat the food
