I suspect that is precisely why it got better at coding benchmarks.

If my Googling is correct, it seems to have been removed around 2020-2021. Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014 though.

Luckily, you can make more plants from a single plant. Which makes me wonder about the commercial viability here, as plant people tend to be quite promiscuous when it comes to sharing cuttings...

Assuming they have enough money, yes. Public charity drives for such cases are also pretty common.

That seems pretty reasonable for debugging no? And you can just replace them by hand, on your prototype board, in case you have been debugging so hard you managed to break one of them.

> I'm pretty sure Europe does as well

Does it? A cursory search seems to put an (used) EV at around 10k$ at best. Poor people definitely do not drive 10k$ cars here. Hell, even my tech-adjacent friends in their twenties rarely own anything more expensive than 3k$-ish.

The lack of birds in the small town where my parents live, and dozens of semi-feral cats roam, is always rather unsettling. Meanwhile the parks in a city two orders of magnitude larger are bustling with activity, since the life expectancy of an outdoor cat here is close to zero.

I do not think the article implied that this was safe in any way. Sometimes doing something unsafe is the only way to accomplish a task.

Then it would not be "done right". Performing an action that has no effect is pointless.

> At least, the Netherland got it right. Just say it’s unhealthy, recommend people don’t drink regularly and let them do what they want from there.

Did this actually decrease alcohol consumption though?

The other components of the human body are also required for brain function.

Grandparent likely means Super Squats, not Starting Strength, which is definitely a bodybuilding program.

Since May, I have (very deliberately) put on ~16kg of mass, going from a BMI of 17.5 to 22.8. Started at around 2500kcal/day, currently at 3500kcal/day.

> I could not overeat to save my life

You are likely eating the wrong foods. It is _highly individual_ what kind of food can people eat in large caloric quantities. Start calorie tracking and experimenting more, you can figure this out. Some people do well with oatmeal (tastes like soggy sawdust to me), some with various nuts (peanut butter is a fitness industry staple), others make themselves milkshakes etc etc.

Progressive overload is key here, don't just expect to start eating 4000kcal/day, it is not going to happen (and would not be productive anyway).

> I cannot concentrate with a meal in my stomach

Same here. I feel like eating makes me lose about 10 IQ points, not great (though I am at a place in life where I can make this sacrifice). Maybe more sugar would be helpful here.

You may also find the /r/gainit subreddit englightening.

That would probably be way out of budget for them (and would discourage most participants if they had to pay for it themselves). Even here, a bioimpedance body composition thingy is like 10$ and a DEXA scan is around 35$.
