The idea of “survival mode” in the article and your summary is not supported by the evidence. Your body didn’t evolve to waste energy, and doesn’t magically burn less calories doing the same things. Here is the evidence from the article

So this is one thing that doesn’t cause balding, but doesn’t make it clear what does cause it. The medical name for it is androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness. People with it have a gene that causes certain hair follicles (ones in the pattern) to respond differently to dihydrotestosterone than hairs usually…

Ot. I’d like to bitch about the proliferation of (lousy) beards.

Imo a lot of guys out there haven’t earned them, and the worst of them think that scraggly-wino is the cool look. It isn’t.

But it is true that wearing a hat all the time will make you a douchebag.

Find a workplacce that has a union. That is the best way. The union, for all they get bitched about, will have your back and probably has a good healthcare clause that allows you time away before you burn out.

I would add that blank time or down time is not necessarily wasted time. It’s like space itself. Space does not have to be occupied by something. Good designers will say the same.

I’m going to suggest something almost too simple and obvious but I expect the results will be amazing: scrambled eggs. I know, I know, you’d like something crazy like Snickers bars or Rueben sandwiches but hear me out. I expect if we can get the right combination of eggs & cheese & temp & time, this will be the most…

This. When I send work to coworkers to critique, nothing is worse than a generic "looks good!"

I find the “invisible jerk off” is an effective gesture to show apathy or mocking. Plus, it’s good for chuckles with those in the conference room when an unwitting participant has called in on the speakerphone.

I believe 164 BCE was also the last time a Buffalo sports team was in the playoffs.

Great advice. I hope my post didn’t come off as telling people never to pursue their hobbies as careers. I merely wanted to give my personal input as to how it worked out for me.
