The New Coffee Room

I bought some gold a couple of years ago when an ounce was well below $2000. I wish I had bought more.

Actually, the article criticizing the Nature publication is also paywalled.

Surely none of you made up their minds by only looking at the tweet?

I'd rather like to look at the original Nature publication than this article to make up my mind, but it's paywalled not not yet available on sci-hub.

In my community, papers are these days almost always reviewed in double-blind style: The authors know nothing about the reviewers and vice versa. That includes names, gender, institution etc.

I think the next best thing after GLP-1s will be oral GLP-1s. The injections are scaring off many people.

Approved in the US earlier this month.

I know. And I think this is big.

If this becomes a pill you can swallow every day and the costs come down <$100 a month, then you'll have 100M daily users in no time.

Interesting interview.

Isn't this very similar to the gladiators in Rome? The thrill of somebody putting his life at risk?

It would be nice if we, as a society, would stop admiring and incentivizing people who risk their lives without a good reason.

If the body can adapt to gravity on Mars, it should be able to adapt back to gravity on Earth on return.

Compared to the very very low standards of coherence in Trump's usual ramblings, I found this letter almost logical.

I think that’s made up. Goebbels had more class than that.

Apparently it's not. Didn't know that. He sent the medal in a package, though.

If he'd offer every Greenland citizen several million US$, I imagine they might agree. Let's say 1T$ , that would be $15 million per citizen or something.

It's a miracle to me how he can do this without dying of embarrassment, like any sane person would.

I've also recently started to do cardio in the gym, but I'm using a bike trainer. I repeat "5 minutes slow, 5 minutes fast" four times, whereby "fast" means "reach max heart rate at the end of the 5 min". Interval training should beat steady-state.

If Denmark and the EU want to keep Denmark, they should force Trump to kill a significant amount of European soldiers if he wants to take Greenland.

@jon-nyc said in Latest muscle/fitness hack...:

I wonder when this board will discover Chinese peptides.

Got some peptides from China last week, actually.

There are few supplements with such a vast amount of studies. The benefits are very clear, but the effects aren't huge. I'm taking 5g a day.

Hate it when that happens when I'm with a woman.

It was the first time she got wet

Underrated comment!

@kluurs Yeah the video is accurate. I personally haven't watched the sketch in 20 years, though.

Does anyone know why they left and whether there's a chance they'll return?
