I have a draft of a blog post on this. Originally I was going to write about how cortisol isn't always bad, or good, it's just a chemical in us. But then I started noticing the pattern you point out here where I'm not sure anyone uses the cortisol argument in good faith. Everyone who brings up cortisol is usually trying to sell you something

Abo is a major part of organ matching. Abo has to be considered for any organ transplant. Every organ differs but HLA antigens is a different, more complex set of antigens that needs to be matched to some degree as well. Abo is usually a simple test, so hla antigen matching is most of what "organ matching" labs spend their time on. I work in this field.

I'm used to articles like this having some citation, but this doesn't seem to have any. I know about los Alamos lab but not familiar with their writing, am I correct in assuming this is pre-published findings?

I haven't heard of this before. Can you give an example of an abusive nudge.

Your post points out the similarities to freud. I agree it's similar. I also think they are both wrong. If this were true would you expect a child with a stay-at-home mom to have more anxiety/repression than kids with two working parents. Ten minutes Google search shows studies say the opposite or at worst that there is no effect.

Are there many 2024ish models with this option? Or are you limited to older cars

I liked the way I learned git. I started with sourcetree, a third party git gui. Super simple to use and understand. Then I moved to git gui, this step could be skipped. Then I got tired of pulling up my UIs and learned the terminal commands. Highly suggest this for anyone new, but just my (n=1) experience.

They didn't say 'agency is nothing', you took that out of context. They said 'talk about agency is nothing without luck'

It's like me saying a bowl of soup is useless without a spoon. And you go quote me as, "a bowl of soup is useless".

You are arguing with yourself

I think you see moving around careers as a failure of some type. I disagree and see that as success, so there is no "arguing against your own thesis".

My Insurance generally pays for one visit per two years, but I haven't found an optometrist that will give me a 2y prescription despite no changes for 10+ years.

I have found a way to make it 2 years on a 1y prescription.

You can get "myopic glasses" on eBay for real cheap, like 7$, without a prescription. They feel cheap, but the lenses work.

Contact lense websites will let you order as long as you have a valid prescription so I just buy a years worth when I get the prescription and again right before the prescription ends.

Separate issue is the contact lense websites are getting predatory and just add 200$ convenience fee at the checkout. Really annoying, I found one website that doesn't but I imagine if everyone else is doing it they can't stand their ground for long.
