Not old enough yet but I will be getting one when I turn 40. I personally know a GI who made me aware that I should get screened early (and who has told me more about colonoscopies than I ever thought I’d ever know). The key is a good prep, if you don’t have a good prep then they might have to abort and do it again.

Know your family history. Talk to your parents and see if they’ve had any polyps. If they have had large ones you should be screened at 40 instead of 45. Try to get information on how their colonoscopies went and relay that information to your PCP, they should be able to see the guidelines to determine if you should…

I tried to like Apple Music but it is just not as good as Spotify. Bought a year so I’ll be stuck with it for a while but will likely switch when it’s done. Not because of the price increase but that makes the decision easier when the one I like better is cheaper, even if just $1.

I feel like a generic “dumb” watch with a timer would be way easier

You’re confusing less time to go through all the same, necessary steps as rushed. The COVID vaccines didn’t get to skip steps, they went through the same process as other vaccines. However, the main difference is the fact that COVID was so prevalent and so many people volunteered for the trials. That allowed them to…

Hardly anyone even interacts anymore. Rare is a comment section halfway active and I hardly ever see most authors respond to legitimate comments. Sad what these sites turned into.

This site is pure garbage now

Homelessness is caused by insufficient housing supply, rising rents, and stagnant wages.

Yeah I can’t say the last time I heard anyone talking about these

3-4k feet really isn’t that high. I never noticed anything from my trips to Colorado but when I went to Cusco, Peru (over 11k feet) I got winded going up one flight of stairs. It was pretty insane how going from sea level to 11k affected me.

N of 1 and everything but I’ve noticed anytime I get a vaccine if I go do a shoulder workout after I have considerably less shoulder pain. It still gets sore but not as bad.

I never understood why people get so mad when the executive director at a large non-profit makes a reasonable salary. In order to efficiently run these non-profits you need talented individuals. Even the salaries people complain about are far less than they could get in the for-profit world. This doesn’t mean…

I live the home gym life so I can do whatever I want. Tried lifting barefoot and I just don’t like it, not sure why. I do prefer a minimalist type shoe and what I use almost exclusively these days is a basic pair of deadlift slippers.

I love watching guys like Haack who will just start pulling right when his hands touch the bar. It looks like he isn’t doing a “slack pull” but really just just pulls it out in the same motion. I also love watching big deadlifters with weight so heavy (and on a deadlift bar) that really pull the slack out before…

I wouldn’t call myself a data scientist because I don’t do enough modeling in my day to day job (but I know how to) but I am heavily in the analytics space with a specialty in data viz and telling stories with data (and have been doing so for over a decade).

So is the income based on 2021 taxes?

The one leg RDL is genius, I love doing those with either dumbbells or a cable machine but the landmine version looks much more stable.

Yeah I had him convinced at one point and he said he’d do J&J but that was around the time that they were impossible to find due to the issues they had

I actually know someone who didn’t want to get an mRNA vaccine even though I demonstrated how safe they were. When I showed him this one he said he would probably get it since it is more like a traditional  vaccine and he trusts those. Key word probably. I’ll be hopefully but won’t hold my breath.
