Its probably best to talk to your doctor about a CAC score. I don't know if its possible to tell stable vs unstable plaque yet, but a higher CAC score may benefit from aspirin.
And regarding (memory) performance, chromium has the "memory saver" settings for unloading tabs. I don't understand why mozilla thinks its acceptable to require users unload tabs manually. Who even does that?
The amount of NAC used in male mice was 400 mg/kg/day. The human equivalent dosage using FDA body surface area scaling method (for 60 kg adult) would be a total daily dose of ~1,946 mg.
"TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB."
And one would hope that the purpose of the CFPB would be to dissuade lenders from wronging consumers in the first place, meaning the net benefit to consumers was likely much higher.
Their mere presence was effective. I know people who had trouble with banks refusing to fix their own screwups and demanding evidence that couldn’t exist.
They changed their tune the second there was an open case on the matter.
Also of note is they were responsible for medical debt cases, which are particularly difficult for people to resolve because of the shared responsibility between the patient and the insurer, which allows the insurer to deflect responsibility until the bill ends up in collections.
Try oat groats, this will have the lowest GI. You can cook them like rice, even in a rice cooker, using the same technique ... for a firmer result use less water and cook for less time. You can start off with roughly 1:1 ratio of oat groats to water. I do .75 cups oat groats to 1.25 cups water.
FedNow is what has PayPal's former investors so terrified (so much so that investors don't even think PayPal warrants a double digit multiple).
No cost instant financial transfers between US financial users is coming over the next decade. The Fed has 1,400 banks onboard so far, up from 900 the prior year (that's 1,400 in two years). Half of PayPal's business goes away over the coming decade.
I think PayPal and Venmo will be just fine with FedNow. They will work the same but with faster transfers. They will be pseudo-banks with internal transfers, FedNow transfers to others, and instant transfers to bank accounts. They will be alternative to bank apps. PayPal's purchase protection could be important for purchases unless banks work something else out.
Zelle is the one that is doomed since they are bank-run instant transfers that FedNow directly replaces.
We have free instant payments in the Eurozone, UK has had them for about a decade and I'd say PayPal is doing fine (unfortunately). So what's the concern?
Not sure anyone gets an API at no cost for those US transfers ... for person-to-person, they will be/are awesome, but for commerce, pretty sure it will not be a free service.
> Citrini Research on Sunday published a report on Substack laying out hypothetical scenarios for how developments in AI could disrupt certain parts of the economy. Stocks that were mentioned in the report tumbled on Monday.
The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025, far-right, anti-climate) is working with the Heartland Institute (spreading climate science denial across UK / EU) / Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC, Jordan Peterson)
They do not like EU rules that hold US firms accountable to climate laws.
Sorry, I'm not saying the far-right isn't (whatever) anti-climate change.
I just meant that I don't think the lack of concern is necessarily due to them. I think it may have more to do with the reality that we are already on a good path.
"Influenza vaccination is associated with significantly lower odds of myocardial infarction (MI), according to a large meta-analysis published late last week in BMC Public Health."
It’s a good thing the specific criticism of this trial is that they didn’t use the most effective vaccine for 65+ people, since you’re concerned about having the most effective vaccines.
