When my weight went down, I started on a high fiber, high protein, medium carb (legumes mostly) diet. I completely stopped consuming any refined sugars, cakes, pastries, gluten based food, pasta, rice, sodas. I eat once a day and drink water only.
The thing that keeps me going is a 2009 lecture from Robert Lustig - Sugar The Bitter Truth. After having watched that and quitting sugar altogether I can say that my memory is better than ever, my blood pressure is down, I am not exhausted all the time, my skin looks fantastic (combined with my years old routine of cold showers), the inflammation in my body is way down, I'm calmer and more clear headed than I ever was.

I was born with it and no amount of trying and hard work will fix something that wasn't broken in the first place. I'd just be torturing myself. It's difficult to accept that failure as a core part of oneself, but this what I am. For all the guys struggling with xxy, some of us may look unaffected, but we still carry that burden in many different ways.

They are just shoehorning old characters back to the spotlight and it reeks of desperation. Reusing old soundtrack motifs from the Infinity War trailer. Implying that the past 5 years of MCU slop (with a few exceptions) haven't happened. It just feels directionless.

Long story short: Croatian electric automaker Rimac promised to build a fleet of robotaxis that would transport people around the capital of Croatia. Hundreds of millions of euros stemming from both the taxpayers and EU funds have been pumped into the project that has so far had one failed presentation where the car in question was operated by a guy with a joystick.
