Played TOW, FF7R and DG. Yes all are games, but that's about it. They don't compare to each other, let alone to Cyberpunk 2077. Lets go with TOW as it is the only first person game. How can you compare the dialogues in CP 2077, where you can walk away and move around to those fixed camera frames of TOW?

How did you answer this question: Do you take her to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?

Let me summarize what I took away from the study you posted:

> One mechanism by which high dietary protein could induce bone loss may be related to the metabolic acid load engendered by such a diet. Meat and fish, which are high in sulfur-containing amino acids, generate appreciable fixed metabolic acid loads, whereas fruits and vegetables generate little acid and, in fact, may under certain circumstances generate more base than acid.

> Paradoxically, when fracture is the principal outcome, low protein intakes are associated with lower rates of fracture in most epidemiologic studies

My point about craving processed food high in table salt and sulfur-containing amino acids—which ought to be also high in protein—after an alkalizing high intensity training is still valid.

It’s not only about spirituality but about health. Sure, a hot core power class gives you flexibility for that time because breathing more makes your body alkaline. But afterwards you crave acidic food to balance the body. The food you crave is high in protein, table salt, processed, leaches calcium from your bones and makes you stiff in the long run and for the rest of your day.

If you care about the environment the best you can do is to stop using bitcoin and become vegan. And don’t use the Internet. Every single human wastes energy. Make something more efficient and it will gain currency, thus harming the environment even more. Technology and environment just don’t mix. You can talk as much as you want, but unless you become a full fledged Amish, that talk will always be hypocritical.

It seems the MIT lives in a world were only Bitcoin and Ethereum exist. Seriously, who besides Vitalik Buterin himself considers Ethereum as one of today’s most efficient cryptocurrencies?

There are exceptions to the rule though, Donald Thomas jumped higher at his 7th attempt at high jumping as a basketball player (not measuring his run-up, shoes without spikes, arms behind back to land on the mat as if breaking his fall), than years later at the olympics. Sometimes natural talent beats all the science of the world.

Not being able to find free time, top of my list, if you enjoy to live in contradictions, so be it.

Must have been really tough for the Spanish conquistadors being greeted as gods by the people of the New World :)

You feel hunger just in the initial 3 days. I was on a distilled water fast for over a week, hunger disappeared completely.
