One older approach to cut on costs used to be taking a very small volume from hundreds to thousands of blood donations and then testing that for HIV. While the overall rate of HIV is fairly low, when you're pooling like that the chances that at least 1 sample would have HIV goes up quite a bit.

I suppose I'm just extremely risk averse.

It's kinda insane that this is what we have for pain control when infinitely more safe and effective drugs like ketamine are outlawed. 🤷♀️

Absolutely fair, so long as you keep it applicable to yourself only.
As an aside, I just want to mention I'm asking questions out of genuine curiosity. I don't mean to be attacking anyone for their viewpoint or I don't want to come off as trying to 'force' or 'trick' people into a slippery slope argument or whatever.

Then again the daily recommended maximum of an OTC drug should probably never be so close to the LD50.
What is your stance on alcohol? What is the level of 'kill you' necessary to turn something from good to bad? What if it generally does not directly kill you but could lead to dangerous habits which do kill you?

Gaywallet Link ParentInteresting that you mention this. My ex claims it cured her binge eating habits and every time she does them she also says it modifies her eating behavior for a few months after to in general eat...it even changes the kind of food I crave (it makes me want more raw fruits and vegetables)
Interesting that you mention this. My ex claims it cured her binge eating habits and every time she does them she also says it modifies her eating behavior for a few months after to in general eat a little bit less.
While I believe major mental illnesses can be approached in a manner which allows oneself to critically evaluate behavior and thought patterns when under the influence of a psychedelic drug, I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't something special about mushrooms and other related tryptamines and consumption habits. Time to go down another research rabbit hole...

drugsandalcoholas in if alcohol is not a drug, and also asked the question of illegal drugs and not of alcohol use/abuse.It just goes to show how arbitrary this all is.

It's a good thing there aren't any real blood shortages often where I live and that so many other people donate.

There's pretty good literature (and just plain physics) to support the idea that stronger muscles means they can support the joint. However, to get stronger muscles, you need to move more weight, which means greater force moment arms on the joints themselves. Luckily, just like repeated stress will cause the muscle to repair itself to be stronger, the same is true of joints albeit on a longer time-frame.

Just don't expect night and day. Extra protein is hardly steroids, but if the goal is optimization it can't hurt.
I'd say optimizations like this are going to effect maybe 0-5% of your total progress. Much more important is actual time/effort spent in the gym, adequate food/protein intake, and appropriate recovery.

Protein timing being beneficial is a myth (or rather, a jump to conclusions that was made from some old studies), so long as an individual has an adequate intake of protein. Here's a good meta-analysis on the subject
Speaking of protein, you may find the ISSN's nutrition and exercise position paper a useful read as it tackles issues such as protein timing, adequate protein intake, BCAAs, body composition, and more.

CDPR started out making PC only games, so it wouldn't surprise me if their entire development cycle is focused around PC first and then porting it.
But it's hard to say for sure, I don't know the sales figures of Witcher 3 and whether it has affected their SDLC to shift towards heavier console development. I would imagine because the goal is cross platform that they'd start with PC code and then port that out since most development consoles are running linux or something similar, but that's all just hypothesis.

It doesn't matter what I do when I get there. Some days I just sit and read a magazine in the gym.'
His point was that sometimes it's more important to set the time aside and actually go, because you'll find yourself more often than not at least doing a little workout if you made time to actually get to the gym.
Funding is not an issue in SF, so I think it's perfectly reasonable to limit who is able to march based on ideology or what they actually represent. Pride is about sending a message to society. It kind of sucks for the people who work there, but they can always march with someone else who's doing real good for lgbtq+ people.
