Conservative news circles have had this latent anti-NYC thing going on since Trump admonished it as a liberal mecca during his presidency.

Then when the pandemic hit and NYC was devastated, they were practically holding group orgy parties to get each other off about the fall of the city.

Then when the city started bouncing back it became "Well no, it's bouncing back as a dangerous crime ridden hell hole."

The "NYC is dangerous" thing is literally just conservative cope for the failed collapse during the pandemic.

I'd single out Garmin especially for the HN crowd.

While other watches seem to go in the "consumers like their data in simple colored blobs and are scared of numbers", Garmin goes hard on "chart and graph everything"

Spray the atmosphere with reflective particles and work relentlessly to get CO2 out of the air.

Sundar needed to be kicked out years ago.

Google has to dump Sundar and bring in a more old school leader. Google is a massive company and has to stop doing it's "everything is beta all the time, with teams internally competing for the same territory"

I'm so put off by it, and been made a fool by it so many times, I'm phasing out Google in my life and long ago stopped recommending Google products to people in my life.

Beta blockers block adrenaline, it's not particularly dangerous to do so.

Studies like these are why social sciences get so much flak.

Imagine trying to fairly buy/sell anything in an opaque market.

That isn't a mosquito trap, that's flying insect genocide

It's a band aid to bridge the gap between the insane demand in HCOL areas and the inability to find labor in those markets.

How can you staff a warehouse for $15/hr in places were a studio starts at $1250/mo?

I wouldn't be one bit surprised of Amazon starts getting into real estate, offering employees monthly "rent vouchers".

To be fair the laptop is rated for 16.5 hrs.

She felt like her ego was being inflated in a way that was unhealthy, and so she turned away from online dating and eventually met her fiancé through mutual friends.

I am not surprised she is engaged.

Yeah, but the counter to all that is building new housing, which unsurprisingly very difficult in these areas.

I searched for most valuable beanie babies and found a site that said the Princess Di bear is worth $500k. The completed auctions on ebay reveal a market price of....$4.50

I vaped and got covid (march 2020). When I got sick I obviously didn't vape for a few days. Tried it once I felt a bit better and coughed immediately. Put it down and told myself I would wait until I was 100% better.

Still waiting unfortunately. Silver lining I guess is that I am off nicotine for a year.

Largely what made moving appealing in the first place was romanticizing the hell out of it while browsing lifestyle instagram feeds all day.

You never thought about your addiction to 2nd day shipping and international cuisine rotation via uber eats.

I guess that's true. Whats the end state if Apple refuses to pay?

I'm not sure of the details and my understanding of it is limited. But it seems there is some kind of statistical anomaly in the nonces of early blocks, and some people suspect that he purposely formed this anomaly the leave a clue or encode the private key for the wallet.

Bitcoin has the branding.

It's like the bud light of crypto in a world where most people aren't aware yet that bud light isn't the only beer.

There is only one gold with gold's properties and that's gold.

The same cannot be said for BTC.

I can't see bitcoin existing long term because right now I feel the only thing holding it up is it's brand. People know the word "bitcoin" and I'd venture that for 99% of the population that's the only crypto they know. BTC is however, pretty objectively, a really shitty crypto. Which is fine, it's the original one, it would be crazy if no one hadn't figured out how to improve on it.

I just think it is a matter of time before someone hits the right social cords with the right crypto and the wind is sucked out of BTC overnight. There are certainly tons of people trying.

There is a theory that the key to satishi's wallet is hidden somewhere in the beginning of the blockchain. So it might not be too wild if coins started moving

They probably have a fundraising team on staff that does all the standard fundraising "tricks" that the rest of the fundraising industry does.

It still has the "social news site" vibe of the mid 00's.

Well whats the compound? Perhaps someone else reading it could benefit from this too.

It's definitely why I don't discuss this with people, and goes back to the general hostility towards long covid. It's not worth the energy trying to convince them otherwise.

I have had anxiety my whole life. I've gone through times so stressful I was hallucinating. It's not that.

I hope people can see from reading this thread why it's easier to just say "I fully recovered".

This started before I was prescribed beta blockers. I also take a relatively low dose.

It's not like that. There is definitely something damaged or some wires crossed. Stress and anxiety make it worse, but it's still there all the time regardless.

Full deep breaths cause all kinds of aches to shoot around my torso and laughing is outright painful. The skin on my hands shriveled so much they look like 60 yr old hands. I have head aches all the time, whereas before I never got them. At anytime I can feel my heartbeat throughout my body, especially in my hands and neck. My feet get so cold now I feel like i could get frostbite in a 70F room. Hard exertion quickly brings me to a point where I almost faint. I get dizzy periods usually for at least a few hours a day.

Also this year was hardly stressful/anxiety inducing for me, at least on the day to day level. Other periods of my life were orders of magnitude worse with typical stress/anxiety symptoms. Nothing like this.

I could not get tested in March. I tested positive for antibodies in August. I live right outside NYC, which based on April antibody testing, likely had 250,000 to 500,0000 cases/day for about a 3 week period from late Feb into March. This was when the media was still debating about whether or not the virus was a big deal and Trump was saying just a few people were sick.

I'm someone who actually has some form of long-covid or perhaps just damage from the virus. March 12th will be the one year mark for me.

I was a mild case, stayed home for 2 days, right back on my feet after that. 32M, no health issues. Symptoms just lingered and lingered. They would go away then come back days later. Mainly sinus pressure and dizziness. Then 4 months on I started getting intense chest pain and shortness of breath. Cardiologist noted some abnormalities but was not concerned. Put me on beta blockers. Fast forward to today and I still have shortness of breath, some cardiac symptoms, and random pains in my left arm and back. It really eats into my quality of life, but I am thankful I don't have it as bad as many others.

I keep tabs on the long haul community to see if researchers have figured anything out/others found anything that helps. So far there really isn't much. I'll note that there are a surprising number of people who aren't aware they are long hauling (they "recovered" and then months later developed issues - not making the connection until stumbling upon another long hauler) and that people are really hostile about the idea of long hauling. I don't know if it's a coping mechanism or what, but people want (need?) to hear "I fully recovered" when they ask how you are doing. I don't tell anyone except those close to me about it, it's completely not worth the debate they are going to want to have about the validity of my symptoms. It's pretty common in the LH community to not be publicly upfront about it because of this. There are plenty of people who know me, know I got sick, and will relay that I fully recovered.
