Rogan has a different audience. More mature, and TRT is dosed properly and often through a doctor. Young kids just shoot up as much as possible. I still think we need more research to know it's long term impact and side effects.
I do think it's fair to assume that if Hemsworth openly its likely to be possible more young kids will take it. But it also depends on how he talks about it.

It would be interesting to understand why the body is lowering it, might also be the body adopting to certain conditions. Could be that artificially boosting it, goes against something the body is trying to regulate. Or it could just be a side-effect of body in decline.

Muscular actors are almost without exceptions on it. Take Chris Hemsworth, he went from skinny to bodybuilder level of muscle. It would be fine if doesn't use it to sell workout programs.

Yeah but more reasonable to compare it males in a certain age group.

It's weird to me. We've had hundreds of thousands of years with no dentists and toothpaste and now I'm told only way to keep teeth healthy is to brush twice a day with chemicals and an electric tool.

I also grind me teeth. One dentist recommended me a guard. Just really don't like the idea of sleeping with plastics in my mouth 8 hours a day. What type do you have?

You speak mostly of not getting attached. Which is mostly a method not to build negative karma in Buddhism and build positive karma. But positive karma is not a goal in itself in Buddhism, realization is.
The Madhyamaka way, translated to the great middle way, mostly refers to combining freedom & meaning from emptiness. Meaning things are neither real, nor or they an illusion. Therefore the middle.
This is because understanding emptiness often leads to nihilism: "nothing really matters". The opposite seeing things as real, instead of acknowledging everything is changing, often leads to suffering: if laptop breaks, relationships end etc. Both are true and both are false.
The goal of madhymaka is to explain middle way between those and also practical how that leads to freedom, joy and meaning in every moment of life.
In the end the goal of Buddhism is not to change outer conditions but to get to a state were hapiness is experienced regardless of outer experiences.

Yeah already 10-12 years ago was clear.
My university vpn only worked for a few days while studying in China.
But there is this tiny little vpn software being spread around. Not sure if it's true but I remember it's falun gong teaming up with the CIA. Which at the time was able to go undetected, I think they keep rotating the IPS or something.
Was interesting how fast that tool spread "offline" between international students. Also Chinese have it but its less known among them.
Not sure if it still works:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freegate
[Edit] Here is an old hn comment saying it doesn't work anymore and other options that are also hard;

Diet drink consumption gone up, but doesnt seem to have made a dent in the obesity crisis.
Your point is only valid if it actually lowers sugar and other carbs intake. Which isn't the case for most people.
Next to that. With diet drinks people drink more since they feel like they can get a way with, some do with sugar variants as well, but seems like more people binge drink diet versions which could lead to higher exposure relatively.
The has been processing sugar for millennia, these chemicals are pretty new.

Live isnt very painful for me.
Still enjoy a beer a bit too much. When I'm super happy and then have a beer it just adds to it.
It also can help me relax if I'm working to much. One can argue it's not needed, but at times nice.

The way to make this work is by renting a mac m1 on scaleway and put a VNC app on your iPad.
Works well. You just pay 70,- per month extra.

Okay but now you are expecting them to manage another OS? Im with you on allowing more freedom, but to expect them to maintain linux for tablets?

Semantic web wont do you good. Google doesn't like scraping and won't make it easy for you to do so.

Most developers think in abstract terms all the time. We can easily see the variables take shape and create our intended reality.
But for a lot of people that never do that, that's hard, the more closer edit mode is to reality to easier it is to understand what it will look like and the less brainpower it takes the creator. But yeah in some cases with notion the difference between read and edit mode is not significantly indicated.
From the outside it feels somewhat more doable to be a pro , then a band or solo-artist, since there are quite a few orchestra's around that hire people on a stable basis. Spots are limited, but it's not super hard.
