Tenerife is very nice to ride in. I haven't done Teide yet, but it would be really cool.

To clarify - Sweden has a lesser variant of the U.S credit score system, but it differs in some important ways. For example, you don't have to get a credit card to 'build credit' - you are assumed to be in good standing unless you have unusual ratios of debt and so on.

Sweden does not have a social credit score system.

I don't know the subject well enough to tell, unfortunately.

This is true. They do not think, because they are next token predictors, not brains.

Having this in mind, you can still harness a few usable properties from them. Nothing like the kind of hype the techbros and VCs imagine, but a few moderately beneficial use-cases exist.

Yep, that's leptin resistance for you. Obesity is really a hormonal condition, and this is why GLP-1 inhibitors are so effective - they actually treat the hormonal condition and allow the recipient to manage their food intake without having their body hormonally work against them.

A layman's explanation (to be clear, I am the layman) of my best understanding of the subject:

Hunger is controlled by 2 hormones:

  • Ghrelin, which causes hunger and is produced by the stomach
  • Leptin, which suppresses hunger and is produced by fat cells

As fat cells accumulate, leptin levels also increase, but a person that has developed leptin resistance will not feel the appropriate amount of hunger suppression from the leptin, leading to chronic hunger unless large energy intake is sustained.

What a fucking loser

I suppose I never actually had a good experience with Amazon to be able to compare against.

You'd be surprised, actually. You have to be careful, yes - the default option is that you get crap - but all of the high-quality cycling gear/running gear/variety consumer electronics I've scored is a testament to the possibility of getting great stuff.

Honestly, it's baffling how good some of the stuff you can get off of AliExpress is, especially when taking the low price into account.

My ~$100 N100 server is a testament to that. Just need to score some additional storage for it

Your brain is not rotten enough to comprehend the statement
