Super interesting - friend is on a Adderall and Trazedone stack for energy/focus + sleep aid. Amitriptyline looks very interesting though I don't think they've tried that.

Thanks for the information, it's such a frustrating condition with a dearth of good information and research.

Super interesting - my friend has ME/CFS and/or Fibromyalgia and started GLP-1 but seemed to get only the negative side effects and not much benefit. Using Zepbound specifically.

Is the Modafinil used for alertness or a different off label purpose? I'm always interested in potential helpful interventions.

There are three knots I use that have covered all my needs as a casual camper:

Taut-line hitch

Sliding knot for fastening loads or setting guy-lines https://www.netknots.com/rope_knots/tautline-hitch

Bowline

Essential general knot for tying a loop. https://www.netknots.com/rope_knots/bowline

Square Knot

Used for joining ropes or just an easy to unite knot. For joining ropes you could do a sheet bend which is stronger https://www.netknots.com/rope_knots/square-knot

There are a billion options so I recommend just picking a few and practicing until you can tie them quickly without references. You'll start to understand hope knots in general work and be able to pick up other knots much easier.

Generally there Firms prize "first principles" thinking and don't put a ton of effort into leveraging previous engagements. Think of it like how engineers will throw out a solution and rebuild it rather than understand and build upon it.

It is also quite difficult to surface useful information amongst all the noise in the giant archive of documents

The whole fanbase is wondering the same! They have done a variety of multimedia experiences beyond light shows at their festivals and New Years Eve shows so are no strangers to using different tech.

The most interesting thing will be how the improvisation is handled. A large chunk of Phish shows are all improvised which means no pre-programmed visuals. This is very different to U2 which has the entire show planned and programmed.

I'm guessing they are thinking of a scenario where SELECT * FROM User_Details gets sent directly to the front end.

So even if all you are displaying is the users name or initials you would still be sending things like SSN and credit card number to the front end

I'd say a more accurate metaphor would be "I'm in debt and decided to ignore my biggest high interest loan in order to fully pay off my smallest low interest loan so I feel good about something"

Sure it's good you have less debt but while you were resolving the small loan you were racking up massive interest on the big one

What makes your 40s so good? I'm approaching them and would love some more things to look forward to!

This is really awesome, I think about to dive down a much deeper rabbit hole now. Thank you!

Genuinely curious - how would you go about getting the parts and building something like a Bottle head amp? I been eyeing them up for a while and think the appeal is that they package everything up nicely, like buying a Lego kit. I assumed there was a standard "audiophile mark up" which sounds like it might be higher than I thought!

Speed will make accidents worse (deadlier). Acceleration will make accidents more likely. Sports cars flooring it from a stop, losing traction and hitting a telephone pole is like a whole genre of YouTube videos.

I think they go hand in hand to a degree. There aren't many "non-processed" (picked off a tree, animal products, etc.) foods which are as calorie dense as processed foods. Having access to something like twinkies or a powerbar makes it way easier to consume lots of calories.
