I believe you. I have a few memories around my second birthday. People are often impressed with my recall of people and places. I have reasons to believe because of corroborations later in life that my memories were true.
The blog post wasn't taken down because of DEI reasons like you imply. Match group acquired the company and the blog post which can be still be found online said that you shouldn't pay for a dating site because of how ineffective they are.
I love it when someone dives a bit deeper behind something pretty common for most Ruby devs. It's actually a really elegant pattern that is used and it's everywhere in Ruby.
I’m currently using Hotwire Native with a rails 8 app building a new project and I’m banging out features faster than anything I’ve used in the past. Furthermore so much can be done on the web side to prototype features on mobile with this setup.
Anyone who has ever had to deal with CSS over time knows that the biggest issue is having leftover classes. Utility first approach means this never happens.
I once took some "natural and organic sleeping ingredients" and there was a recall due to it containing a highly potent and dangerous prescription only ingredient.
It seems the only times that all natural medication works it's laced with allopathic medicine.

There are a surprising number of herbs that do something within the body. However, that something is usually mild and mixed in with a large number of other effects. Supplement companies now play games where they try to extract, isolate, and condense the natural product into those active chemicals with various degrees of success, but even the extracts don’t escape the problems of off-target effects and liver or kidney load.
I was surprised to hear from a doctor about how often they see patients who choose traditional Chinese medicine or other herbalist practices and end up with elevated liver markers or signs of kidney trouble.
The supplement world is also embracing a lot of gray market medications now. You can buy “supplements” that are actually just experimental drugs that haven’t been fully researched yet, but some enterprising person had a lab in China synthesized it and now sells it on their website.
For a while, supplement vendors were even synthesizing commercial drugs and then just selling them as powders, amazingly. You could go buy little jars of drugs like Memantine (a prescription medication) from supplement vendors. The current mod team of /r/Nootropics on Reddit also runs one of the popular supplement vendors on Reddit (surprise) and they were recently hit for breaking some laws around labeling their supplements, which is a slap on the wrist relative to their past history of selling full pharmaceuticals, addictive substances like phenibut, and opioid medications like Tianeptine as “supplements”
Of course, they cracked down on any threads discussing their legal troubles on Reddit and they’ve replaced it with stories about how they’re actually the victims, with a lot of bans being handed out on /r/Nootropics for people who disagreed. It’s wild to witness how the supplement industry works and how effectively they’ve captured online discussion in their favor.

I don’t think that follows from two anecdotes. There is plenty of natural remedies which have an effect. Just thinking of the simplest, least controversial one: packing citrus fruits for a long voyage does indeed prevent scurvy.
We all know it's just a way for Musk and others to get a really popular social media for cheap. This ban has nothing to do with anything else than that.
Well, to be fair, the law wasn't individually passed by Biden. It was stuffed into a foreign aid bill aimed at supplying both Ukraine and Israel, as well as enforcing additional sanctions on Russia.[1]
It's not entirely clear if Biden thinks it's a good move but honestly I doubt very much he has his own opinion on this as it is.
That's false. The stop line for cars is out of frame in the video, and the driver has already passed it by the time the light turns red. You can get a better view of what the intersection actually looks like here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/L37hZyvXs8BeWmFE8
You can't be serious. The stop line is where the intersection begins. If you cross the stop line on yellow you won't get a ticket and it is perfectly legal in most US states.
