That’s a lot of protein for the amount of calories. I’d dial that back to 200g and dial up your carbs.
Idk. OP has to weigh in the high 200s if he is losing weight on that calorie level. Protein intake seems about right.

I don't believe it is.
The closest star is 93 million miles away. That is 258k times less than your stated number of 24 trillion. Yes, that is several factors of ten.

Supplement G has no Dental or Vision. WTF?? Everything but those two, unless it’s an emergency intervention, however that term gets applied. Where to look?
You'll need to buy standalone dental & vision coverage. All of the major carriers offer options, none are particularly great. If you really want dental & vision included with your medical benefits, you'll need to look to an Advantage plan. However, Advantage plans just bundle the same dental/vision you could buy on your own and you'd have to deal with prior auths etc. If you can afford it, go for the supplement + standalone dental & vision.

Kobe has a negative DBPM for his career. 10 seasons with a negative DBPM. Career best for a season of 1.6 compared to Lebron's career average of 1.7.
Career best VORP 8.0. Lebron career avg. 8.2; Jokic 10.5

re: Rand Paul wants you to be 70 before you can draw Social Security
Posted by tigercross on 11/7/25 at 1:50 pm to Antonio Moss
quote:
The first social security payments were made in 1937. Americans born in 1900 would have been 37 years old at the time ("approaching 40"). Of that cohort of people, only around 40% would go on to make it 65 years old.
So they, more likely than not, were going to die before age 65.
Again, this isn't complicated
It's not complicated, but you're interpreting it incorrectly.
40% of people born in 1900 would be expected to live until 65. However, many of them would die in the years between 1900-1937. Of the people born in 1900 who were still alive in 1937, a much greater percentage would be expected to live to 65+. In fact, the life expectancy of a 65 year old male in 1940 was 77 LINK.
So it stands to reason that a large majority of people in the US who were born in 1900 and lived until 1937 would be expected to live to 65+. Certainly much more than 40%.

They have a positive trade balance because we let them have it. There is an easy way to equalize it.
Wait, do we actually want low-skill, economically inefficient manufacturing to be done here? I thought one goal of having an advanced economy was so that we could focus on producing goods and services where we have a comparative advantage and other countries can do likewise.

"I can't reach my maximum level of enjoyment just learning the material because I'm so anxious about the midterm, so anxious about the papers, and because I know it's so harshly graded," she said. "If that standard is raised even more, it's unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes."
I dunno. I thought part of becoming an adult was learning to find joy in things that are difficult. It's called growing as a person.

lol at the guy saying Kenyans don't need to dope. Whether they need to or not is irrelevant, they are.
Kenya is walking a very thin line with doping right now. Their enforcement at the local level is nearly non-existent, and if they weren’t a “developing nation” they’d probably have already caught a Russia-style ban.

Moon landing truthers and flat earthers are a government psyop to discredit people who legitimately question the narrative on other topics. It allows the government to do some hand waving and say “oh, you think COVID was developed in a lab with US funding? you’re just like the flat earthers”.

Raw scores don’t mean much. This is a pretty elementary concept in statistical analysis. If you are trying to determine whether one state’s teaching methods are more effective, you have to compare like groups. Obviously kids who have parents with higher IQs and parents who read to them at home are going to score higher on literacy tests.
