Only if those vegetables or shrooms were grown in natural sunlight (no greenhouse plastic/glass involved) and in a soil with abundant minerals, macronutrients, and high brix value.

Which one of his books have you read?

Assuming your psychological state of mind and your heart health is relatively good, whole body cold water plunges/swimming 3 times a week for 2-3 minutes, has been shown (in relatively small studies) to have many positive effects on various endocrine system functions, including cortisol levels.

And you should, as they're largely beneficial.

Hmmm, most of my friends' animals (pets) kept at home, medicated, fed "pet food" and "clean" water, tend to be significantly sicker than my outside-kept animals, and always seem to have a short lifespan. They have certainly had the runs more often than my outside-only-"kept" animals. My cats literally drink stagnant water every single day, algae, bacteria, various protozoa and all. The safety'ism in HN is out of control.

? Because we raise them, live with them, watch them live a long and healthy life?

Calm down homie. If you've never drank rain water out of random "containers" in nature, have you even lived? Ever stay out in nature, alone for 3-4 months without a clean mountain stream nearby?

Not only drink, but all animals always prefer rainwater in puddles, or other random "unclean" (by modern human standards) containers vs. pumped ground water. There is a lesson there for humans, if only we would pay attention.

Yes, thank you for speaking to the reality on the ground, which a lot of folks in these comments are pretending doesn't exist. We have standards and codes, but I've worked on many new construction sites where nobody gave 2 shits about what, how, or why. They threw shit together, and as long as it looked close enough, it even passed inspections (always another job site to go to after this one after all). I personally know of many $1 Million+ houses in the Chicago area, that house some very shocking surprises inside their walls.

Lots of bullshit in your post. Probably speaks to your youth and lack of long term perspective. I sure hope you get a chance to tend a garden someday, and every day. Plastic windows are absolute garbage, and will rarely hit 20 years without problems in any location with significant temperature swings, or extreme cold or extreme heat. I know, because I have some. I've also had some old old hardwood window frames, and they've been by far the most resilient...but really same goes for all hardwood materials. My best friend growing up, in "ultra cheap eastern Europe", lived in an old (early 1700s) all-wood house. There was 0 maintenance. The wood simply refused to rot.

>Most of us, our life satisfaction lies very much elsewhere and to spend our valuable remaining free time to just to learn properly and maintain such stuff that doesn't matter much in long run seems... unwise.

I think throwing plastic windows into the dump heap to pollute the local waterways and ultimately ground water (and maybe air if your dump incinerates), is vasty more unwise than simply using biodegradable, 100% renewable, and much longer lasting, not to mention beautiful, wood.

Yes, this is precisely why I love the design so much. I've been waiting for an "edgy" non-smooth car since the '88 Sentra...and here it finally is. Thank you Elon and Tesla, yall remain the only car maker with a sense of humor.

>The weird thing is we take it for granted instead of being repelled by it. Yes, exactly this right here. It was straight up bizarre to grow up with near 0 advertising in commie Eastern Europe and get hit with a shockwave of fairly disgusting ad bullshit when we moved to the US. I was shocked at people putting up with it as if it is something to be tolerated instead of burned to ashes. I continue to be shocked.

I don't know who these ungrateful people are with the bad taste in their mouths? Starlink is the only game in town for me at this point for broadband: my only other option is DSL from Centurylink at 3Mb/.5Mb - they've had 30 years to improve service here and hundreds of millions in taxpayer subsidies, and they haven't done it. The nearest T-Mobile signal is about 7 miles away. I for one, am grateful.

Like HPE GreenLake's Private Cloud?

I've been in this "industry" for near 25 years. I'm in the US (though not American), but in that time I've rarely worked with Americans on my direct or adjacent teams (they're definitely a minority in tech, and I've worked from 12-person startups, to 300K-person giants). I've even worked for some of the body-shop-outsourcers you've referenced and have been the one providing the outsourcing. I understand this is anecdotal, but I have never seen any outsourcing or offshoring contract that didn't cause the quality of a product or service to go to shit. Quality isn't even usually quantified and defined in most offshoring contracts (at least ones where I've worked). The amount of downright fraud involved in the providers, where for example, we were supposed to provide service X for 5 years, but really we've just told the customer we did, and now we're going to retroactively go back 5 years and adjust some engineer's timesheets, is both common and staggering.
