    Haha very true indeed. I still smell the faint scent of expired peanut butter from the church basement I went to as a kid.

    @xenon said in How to stack your burgers: Downside of lettuce on the bottom is it makes the meat slipperier. Adults can typically manage this ok - hopeless endeavor for kids. I find the tomato to be the slippery culprit. I usually stick with lettuce, onion, and pickle, and ketchup/mustard. I'll have to try the lettuce (and tomato) under the patty to see how that works. I wonder which method will allow you to enjoy the actual meat flavor the most...

    I've been wearing a smart watch for a few years - I'm floored at the amount of historical data I have on myself. My HRV, sleep stages, resting heart rate, etc. -> all of this reacts very predictably to things like high sugar intake, alcohol, exercise, fasting, etc. If medical researchers can somehow get their hands on this data I'm sure they'd find an absolute ton of predictive indicators.

    Here's a story from 1983 that Randy Newman told about when Bruce let him be the Boss: My wife and I Went to the hotel in the hills That's right The Bel-Air Hotel Where a very good friend of ours Happens to be staying And the name of that young man Is Mr. Bruce Springsteen That's right, yeah Oh, we talked about some kind of woodblock or something And this new guitar we like And you know what he said to me I'll tell you want he said to me He said, "Rand, I'm tired. How would you like to be the Boss for awhile?" Well, yeah Blow, big man, blow

    Yes, but: Maybe the AI revolution will involve winner-take-all effects and such massive capital spending needs that the winners of the last decade will also be the winners of the next decade, propelling the S&P much higher despite historical warning signs. That was my first thought. But I don't expect the next 10 years to be equal to the previous 10.

    I don't have one right now. Interestingly it's all downhill to work. The one gnarly hill is right before my house - about a one mile steady climb. My 2 reasons for biking are -1) just getting outside. It's a nice route to work, mostly lakeside. 2) Get exercise time in consistently (I've been doing a lot of stationary spin exercises classes on peloton for years - so i should be able to bike well enough)

    @xenon said in Nate's gut says Trump will win...: You know, maybe its the avalanche of shit that he's gone through over the past decade. I'd say most of it brought on by himself. But still - he's gone through shit like no one I know... and.. I dunno... maybe Americans like a fighter. There's something there, I can't put my finger on it. There's obviously something there. Good points in this thread. Yeah, Americans want a leader, warts and all.
