3 primary reasons for the style - show off their wigs, they were easier to carry under the arm/ dudnt interfere as much with their gun as a standard hat, and it channeld rain

It has to do with the fact that testosterone is a performance enhancement drug and men are categorically stronger than females, and a man punching a female is strictly unsafe.

Lifetime chronically poor sleeper here - Look at Andrew Huberman for advice.

Natural supplements: magnesium threonate, glycine, l-theanine, apigenin. No melatonin.

Prescription: 50mg Trazadone when things are really bad. Dogs can easily get this drug prescribed :)

Hygiene: regular sleep time. No phones in bed. Cold room. Improved bedding. If you can’t sleep or wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and do -something- that isn’t on a screen for a few minutes. No water near bedtime. No caffeine after noon. Try a white noise machine and a high quality eye mask such Manta.

10 minutes of sunlight immediately after waking. View the sky before the sun sets. Enable blue light filters using something like Twilight, specially for evening hours. Avoid overhead lights at night and, if possible, at night switch to lights that are lower than your head.

Regular meditation and breathing exercises. No alcohol within 4 hours of sleep. Don’t eat any food near bed time.

Get a sleep tracker such as Oura to provide metrics and data on the efficacy of these various methods and to see how your body reacts to timing of stuff like meals, alcohol, supplements, etc.

Folders is absolutely not passable as a cup of coffee. Do you know what actual coffee tastes like?

I will never, except in the case of receiving sums of money, drink folgers. Dealing with caffeine withdrawls are better than a cup of that burnt garbage.

My military grandpa refuse to drunk real coffee and only drink folgers because anything else “doesn’t taste right”

…? Did you even look at the picture? That’s 60-70%+ of the brands in any major retailer. It a bit of an oversight to suggest that poor decision making is leading to buying from these shit companies. You have to actually go out of your way to NOT buy one of these brands.

Not temporary at all and works quite well. This is a well known, and common, technique.

I don’t know what sort of copium you’re smoking. I lived in rural Michigan for most of my life. Train is absolutely not a viable mode of transportation for rural America. There’s a reason trains and subways still exist on the east coast of America and in most or Europe, Asia, and south America - they are useful.

They died out everywhere else because guess what, they are not ideal at all, and the convenience factor of cars is basically unbeatable. Even if we had a high-speed rail connecting our major cities, okay, how do I get to my destination? Another train? What about when I live 35 miles from the city center… another train…? Sounds absolutely atrocious

.Assumimg youre refering to the US, fixed rail is not a feasible mode of transportation for 90+% (ignoring something like a subway or monorail) of travel in modern America. Intra-city or between a major metropolis, sure. But that still exists… you can still take them… because the utility of them keeps them alive…

People with drastically more information, data, and money decided this is the right call. These decisions are not made in a box and the town (mayor/chamber of commerce) is always involved.

What if the reason more people don’t stop in the town is because the narrowwness made it a difficult to visit the town?

People drastically more involved than any of us decided this is the correct course of action to revitalize the downtown.

Absolutely right. Very vile. Hopefully, the lawyers win this and ban binding clauses like this. However, small correction - Disney is claiming this should be handled in an arbitration court - ie, private. They doesn’t mean they won’t pay out for wrongful death, it just means the case isn’t public and others won’t benefit from the outcome. I’m not saying that’s a good thing. Disney is absolutely in the wrong ans hopefully the courts decide clauses like this are illegal. The debator inside of me is also saying, I also probably wouldn’t want this case being public.

It’s a few hundred year old town that refuses to grow. It’s not a historic site. It’s just some old town that uses to exist due to the historic limitations of transportation.

A town that’s been stagannt for 60 years doesn’t yell “I’m important”

When small towns start disappearing, it’s often because they are no longer economically or socially relevant. Decline of local industries, reduced agricultural activity, lack of job opportunities, population migration…

The town is clearly on a downward trend. 60 years with no growth is not a positive thing.

Business owners just don’t randomly sell because the DOT wants to widen a road.

The town is already gone.

But also onions release oils when the cell walls are cut so the more cut ones have a stronger flavor

Misleading statistic. This doesn’t include parents/grandparents who buy houses and then put their kids name on the title. Nor does it include when parents pay for all their kids college expenses, or rent, or their cars… etc…

There was/is a 90% off sale atm.

However, who replaces the aging workforce? Who pays for social security? Back in the 60s, it was a ratio of 6 workers per 1 retired. Now, it’s 3:1. Soon, it’ll be 2:1. That’s bad. Very bad.

A smaller working population and a large inactive population create huge labour shortages which must be filled by migrant labour which creates additional problems.

One solution is enabling people to work for longer but this is challenging. Do we push the retirement age to 75? What about the declining health and abilities of ther population.

People are having children much later than normal. Births under the age of 20 have dropped 90% in the last 10 years. We are aging faster than we are replacing.
