A junior in college on Wall Street Bets today bought $700K of $INTC Intel at $30 a share with their Grandmother’s inheritance money. He’s down $150K after hours on $INTC falling 20%.

They literally don’t understand comedy or free speech. We are governed by snowflake morons.

If doctors prescribed diet and exercise as zealously as they prescribe drugs, there would be a lot less chronic disease.

I’m a Neurologist and I take a statin. That’s the difference between knowledge and action. Literally the first concept that we started learning in pathology in second MBBS from ‘Robbins’ was atherosclerosis. How fatty streaks develop: the earliest visible sign of atherosclerosis, develop in the aorta during early childhood, often by age 3, and are present in nearly all children by age 10. We then forgot all about it for many years . Most of our literature deals with secondary prevention, but I now realise after reading tons of literature on atherosclerosis and Braunwald’s LDL years concept, primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the way to go. What’s the point of knowing all this, If you don’t take steps to ‘heal thyself’ The lower you keep your cholesterol on the longer you can manage it, the less likely you are to suffer from the big three (CAD, stroke and Peripheral artery disease) There is some things you can modify and others you can’t. Your cholesterol levels are definitely a modifiable risk factor. If you don’t think so , check out the literature on "SMuRFs" (Standard Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors).

The VA cancelled a $56,000 contract to water ~8 plants for 5 years. This is ~$1400/plant/year. The contract has been canceled and DOGE will water the plants free of charge.
