Don't hate the player, hate the game. This is no different than grocery stores selling shelf space. It is not at all like theft (morally wrong) or taxes (infamously inefficient). And if you don't do it, you go out of business since you aren't competitive with someone that does. It's sad that such obvious rage bait makes it to the top of hacker news.

Availability: no gatekeepers. methylene blue predates the FDA and is grandfathered. Unless you want to break the law, it will be hard to biohack with rasagiline or moclobemide. Also probably some safety in using something that's been used long enough to be grandfathered.

It's benign in the tested environment. You can't really test every possible environment (diet, climate, etc), so it seems roughly comparable to the halting problem; Does there exist a micro-deletion that in some environment causes this life to halt? It's unsolvable at DNA scale.

How did you decide on the CAT achievement test to resell? How does it compare to alternative tests (like Iowa) for homeschoolers?

Good things, but Memento Mori. No matter what you do, your health will fail eventually. Decide what your life is about and get about doing it.

I'm just starting to look at Tree-sitter; that might qualify as a state of the art parser that could use a few tricks.

Go to church, what have you got to lose? With all its problems every church is filled with nice people and I guarantee with a few calls (probably 1) you will find someone that will pick you up and take you. No matter how rural you are, there is a church close by.
