I’ve been on max. 2 cups of coffee per day for years, but now it seems I should drink more? More coffee = less body fat, less belly fat and more muscle, even at the same BMI. Also, for men total testosterone went up about 8 ng/dL per daily cup too.

if you want more regulation and an anti-growth mindset, vote for centrist technocrats. if you want deregulation and free enterprise, vote DSA

Trump: If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I would be okay with it. Japan does it. But they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people. In fact, they use our people.

"Federal tax incentives for cybersecurity software investment offer a faster solution than creating new government programs." In @CyberScoopNews, @JoshuaTLevine and @LarsESchonander call on the executive branch to clarify how the tax code applies to cybersecurity expenses.

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects. Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it. apnews.com/article/openai-sa…

This is peak desperation and only works for a very short window of time. Gasoline and Diesel production are HIGHLY CODEPENDENT. We produce much more diesel than we consume and export the excess. If we ban exports, then our national diesel storage capacity will fill up very rapidly. All of that diesel that we would normally export will end up in storage tanks. Once the tanks fill, we can't produce more diesel. Refiners have to scale back / shutdown production because they have nowhere to store it. That means that gasoline production ALSO gets shutdown / scaled back. You can't produce one and not the other. You can increase or decrease how much you're making of each to optimize the market, but you need to make both at the same time. The result? Catastrophic gasoline shortage with skyrocketing prices as refiners are unable to run at full rate due to the diesel glut. This cascades down the entire ecosystem. Refiners can't take delivery because they can't refine. That caused oil storage capacity to fill up. In response, O&G extraction firms have to scale back oil their operations because they have nowhere to put the excess. That cascades down to electricity and home heating because 37% of US Natural Gas is a byproduct of oil extraction as opposed to single purpose Nat Gas wells. Decrease the oil output and the Nat Gas output decreases as well. Electricity and home heating skyrocket. Will this desperate move lower the cost of diesel at the pump in the short term? Yeah. It probably will. But long term, it's impossible. None of those scenarios that I mentioned will ever happen because it would be suicide. As soon as the diesel storage begins to approach capacity, they'll have no choice but to reinstate exports because the alternative is complete economic collapse of the country.

The murder train is going bankrupt! 👀 The deadliest train in America, Brightline, which has killed 200+ people since 2017, is getting ready to restructure $1.1 billion in dead. The Brightline is notorious in South Florida for killing someone on average every 13 days. High-speed trains running at street level through quiet zones, hundreds of grade crossings, long stretches of unfenced track. Despite the bankruptcy, the train will continue operating as normal for now!
