Have they made any mice immortal yet (with continuous treatments of stem cells and other therapies)?


You have to be careful with such high doses over a long period of time. It can cause heart arrhythmia.


There are conflicting studies, but recently, it was determined you need adequate vitamin B levels to support omega-3.

As an aside, you can definitely over-dose on omega-3 which can cause afib, and increase your chance of stroke. I was taking 2 grams per day and definitely had arrhythmia issues. Decreasing the dosage to 500mg per day eliminated the arrhythmia.


Didn’t know that was possible with Omega 3. The pills I have are 660mg and recommends 1 per day, seems you took about 3.5x that dose

By the way, how can you detect arrhythmia? Blood pressure monitor or Apple Watch? General feeling?


You can use an Apple Watch and it might eventually catch it or if you have pulse oximeter you can watch the pulse wave or you can just feel for it at your wrist, carotid neck, or left peck. You want a steady beat, you can tell if there is a pause.

Probably the best way, other than a medical Holter monitor that you wear and a cardiologist reviews, would be to buy a chest strap that can independently record and you can review the rhythm. Look up PVC, PAC EKG.

Some premature contractions are normal. Nothing to go off on a tangent if you catch one in blue moon.

All that said, you will probably just feel a small kick in the chest and the above is unnecessary. Some people tend to anxiously get into these things without reason but the above can help with gathering evidence for your doctor if you suspect a problem that doesn’t go away with stopping supplements or coffee or booze etc. as sometimes heart things can be transient and hard to catch out of the moment. Palpitations can be caused by A LOT of things, I’ve noticed them from coq10, but there are so many other possibilities that it’s not necessarily something you want to self hack if you really do have a problem.


People can often feel arrhythmia. It can feel like heart fluttering, or skipping a beat, like when you get startled. Depends on the type of arrhythmia too.


That's exactly how "palpitations" were so named, because they can be unmistakably felt by the patient.


Some people can’t, I don’t understand how but they do exist.


General feeling. At night I could definitely feel it going to sleep, and it went away after decreasing the dose. It could be a coincidence, but regardless of my personal experience, there's actual science behind it. Too much o3 can affect the blood vessels.


Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, Ghostbusters, Office Space, Step Brothers, Idiocracy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I find comedies the most re-watchable)


Sounds pretty reductive and dismissive. Have you actually used LiveView and compared the DX? I've used a a few of the technologies you listed, and LiveView is a different animal.


That is completely corrupt. The government is picking winners and losers. What about sub shops that bake their own rolls?


Well, at the very least we will see employees leaving Panera in droves and I'd bet they'd be forced to increase their wages to just keep the doors open.


Not when other places are closing because they're forced to raise prices to still make a profit while paying higher wages, meaning less customers.


I thought people's behavior these days was to ignore calls from numbers they don't know and let the phone screen it. I don't ever have problems with unknown numbers or SPAM calls on my Pixel


As in you never get spam calls, or you don't consider them a problem becausee you ignore them?

Because I get 2-3 a day on my Pixel and they annoy the poop out of me, even though I don't answer them.


I have my phone set to Dot Not Disturb except for explicit contacts


I've had similar experiences. One recruiter within the company said they had an offer ready for me and then asked about my React experience at the last second. I was completely honest that I was still getting up to speed on React but had used similar frameworks and done front-end since the late 90s. I got ghosted.


I didn't need a livable wage as a teenager. It was a way to get extra spending cash/job experience. Granted, wages definitely haven't kept up, so I agree in part.

It's sad that people need these menial jobs--which will probably be automated at some point--to survive, instead of being able to pursue something more meaningful.


And if minimum wages were, in fact, limited to teenagers who were fully supported by their parents (as opposed to, say, teenagers whose parents were disabled, already living on a fixed income, or otherwise poor and relying on the extra income from the teenager's job), that might hold some weight.

As it stands, people just use that as an excuse for retaining sub-livable minimum wages for everyone.


I'm not sure how people eat there anymore, even as a guilty pleasure. The ingredients got worse (cheaper ingredients, no whole milk mozz) and the dough, from what I understand, is shipped frozen, not made in store.

Even in the 90s their pizza sent me running to the bathroom it had so much oil in it.


even in the 90's "Pizza Hut" made Dominoes look like Arturo's on Houston Street. This is like a non-food product created in the most cynical way as some kind of corporate feed trough for extremely nutritionally impoverished people.
