I have been listening to maybe a dozen of their podcast episodes and find them pretty interesting. I tried a few other ones but they seem to have the right angle and speed that I’m interested in. Mike and Josh really get into some more philosophical aspects that is promoting a lot of introspection in general. I’ll definitely need to check out that binding; thanks for the suggestion.
Homework actually 😅. After a couple of hours, they all start to sound like the cantina song on Star Wars
Yeah I suppose you have a point. I guess I’m not trying to criticize that approach but trying to understand why the article says this drug will “shift perspectives.” Are they implying that instead of waiting until a patient develops symptoms of heart disease, they will prescribe meds to help control weight? Is that not what is already happening now?
So, it’s an antidiabetic that can be injected subcutaneously in addition to orally, neat but why? Diabetes and pre-diabetes are known risk factors for atherosclerosis and heart disease, so the antidiabetic drug is being used for people that may or may not be diabetic but want to lose weight? Wouldn’t it have less risk for pancreatitis to do a weight loss coaching?
I read somewhere that almost every disagreement or upsetting thing between people is usually due to a difference in expectations. If you are expecting to fully express feelings as part of the meeting, but they are only looking for an overall “I’m doing terribly” and the person leading the group really only wants to give advise on something else part of the meeting, it would cause this misalignment of expectations. I wonder what would happen if you openly asked “I’m looking for a group that I can do X, is this a place for that or what are the expectations of this group?” Then at least you can save yourself some grief of opening up and having little response.
That being said, some groups/people say they want something, but their actions don’t seem to promote that, so you just have to draw that conclusion yourself and look elsewhere. But I’ve found clarifying expectations early helps prevent some disappointment.
I’m not sure if it’s being used in a different context, but the way that author depicted it was natural wakefulness and sleepiness. It’s a measurable phenomenon of adenosine levels and EEG waves. People have different times of the day that they are most awake or most sleepy. One theory is as an evolutionary advatage, humans can guard each other while the other is active.
And the study that is referenced had a college professor and his grad student sleep in a pitch black cave to observe how long a “day” would be with zero sunlight. The younger student had about a 25 hr day, and the middle-aged professor had about a 24.5 hr day. It showed strong evidence that lighting has a direct relationship to sleep.
I’m thinking it’s probably a combination of poor sleep habits as an undervalued asset, along with chronotype mismatches. Something like only 30-40% of the population is the typical “morning lark” that the entire world is structured around. Everyone else is not benefiting as much from sleep or are having consequences. I’m fairly convinced that the insomnia predisposition is related to the chronotype passed from parent to child. 
The book “Why We Sleep“by Matthew Walker is a fascinating and well-supported book for anyone curious about the nature of sleep. 
I know, I just discovered this artist and did not realize I already had some of the other works. Really talented person.

…or maybe you need UHD to see it 🥴
They probably love the shear speed of it
There is a really cool motivational speaker that talked about how people have the idea that “success will lead to happiness,” but it’s actually the opposite, “happiness fuels success.” That doesn’t necessarily mean more money, but he said people that can find happiness around them instead of waiting for it are more fufilled. What I took away is that it’s good practice to dig deep and think about the good things in our lives instead of waiting for X to happen to be happy. It’s difficult to explain, but I think he means not to put the control of our fulfillment with an external factor (job, money, etc). I think where people get sucked in is a little success gives you that high for a while, until they need to find another success, and keep needing to fuel that happiness machine.

I would appreciate having it for avatars and banners. I was going to change mine and couldn’t figure out why even the smallest time size was “too large. Would it be possible to have an avatar be a link for a hosted picture somewhere else or is that too much of a security concern?
