Osprey has released extended fit backpacks. At first I thought they would fit a more athletic build by putting more in the shoulder and chest adjustments but nope:
I like Osprey packs and have two of their everyday backpacks. This is a bit absurd though. I am all for folks getting into shape and staying active but the target audience here should probably not start with hikes though the mountains or all day bike rides.
The Huberman article is retarded, but I kind of understand it’s purpose.
If you’re over forty, have a working penis, a job and all of your limbs (a Chris Rock reference) as well as no previous marriages or kids you become instantly more attractive to a very specific subset of single women as you have no distractions in terms of time (children from previous relationships) and more importantly money (alimony/child support).
Now, this specific subset of women in late thirties or early forties includes stereotypes such as the corporate climber, a frustrated divorcee or a longterm side chick but their common characteristic is that their internal biological clock is making its last ditch effort - a intense few years in which they become obsessed with having babies/adoption before they settle on the “dogmom” or a “crazy cat lady” lifepath (these are very broad generalizations of course).
If you show up at a date with such a woman and explain that you’re single, childless and that you’d be open to having a child “if you met the right person” you’re getting laid immediately. And I mean immediately. And if you have no moral qualms you can exploit this situation and get some impressive bodycount numbers.
And the added boon is that these women tend to be super-busy - either a symptom or the cause of them being still single - so you can work them around your schedule relatively easily, as Huberman did, although on a impressive scale.
I’m not going to get into the morality of this and I like to think I’d be above this if I weren’t married with a bunch of kids, but I’ll say this - if you’re 45 and you’re banging another 45 year old, falsely claiming that you’re exclusive and promising her that you’ll freeze a joint embryo you’re not exactly an alpha male (even if she’s no moral bulwark but under investigation by the FDA for fraud) but kind of sad.
And coming back to the first point - I assume that a significant portion of the New Yorker readership are those very frustrated women that have already met a very low cost Huberman in their lives, hence the unusually bitter tone. Besides them, no one really gives a shit about a podcaster banging a plethora of middle aged women under false pretenses.
Speaking about podcasters, Alexey Fedotov - or “Lex Friedman” as he calls himself - presents an actual present danger - he’s an incel manifesto away from becoming a mass shooter.
Agreed.
Don’t be self sufficient and grow your own food or buy from local farmers when possible - trust big food for all your nutritional needs. When that fails trust big Pharma.
I am pretty left leaning myself, but we could solve a lot more food problems by not letting grocery stores stock way too much food and throw you literally billions of pounds of meat and produce every year.
My suppliers have said this same thing. We throw away close to 30% of the food we produce.
And it’s a a two-pronged problem. Grocery stores and restaurants have been sued for giving excess food away and people claim it made them sick. Then if you let your underpaid workers take food home, the rate of miscooked food skyrockets.
