MLK was the greatest. What he accomplished with the power of his words and the command of the podium is unmatched in American history. It's hard to judge orators before the advent of broadcasting. Nothing has changed oration more than TV. Strangely, even though we are more connected now than at...

Watched him play at Joel and the DES Center back in the day. He stood out as a giant among giants.

Unless either of you work in military intelligence - I'm not sure either of you know enough to make these broad stroke judgements. I certainly have no idea what Russia's military capabilities are compared with 2022. It's kind of irrelevant, regardless.The only thing I'm certain is that Trump's...

What are you basing this comment on?

The GOP conundrum here is that there really aren't many quality "free market" options for reducing the health care cost curve while maintaining quality and at least keeping access to status quo. The only way to really accomplish anything close to reducing cost while maintaining quality and...

high deductible plans drive up the cost of insurance.

I believe pretty strongly in CI:CO - namely that your weight will increase, decrease, stay the same based on your TDEE and how many calories you eat over time. I've engaged in reverse dieting before and I think the most beneficial aspect of reverse dieting is allowing your hunger hormones to...

The difference is small, but you can check the DIASS (digestible indispensable amino acid score). This will give you an idea of a protein source's bioavailability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestible_Indispensable_Amino_Acid_Score

There is research suggesting supplementing leucine alone has no effect on muscle growth and retention in all adults regardless of age. The belief is that it is not through leucine alone that muscle is built or retained but rather the combination of amino acids that spur muscle growth and...

A NAD supplement. I'm over 50 and noticed a significant difference once I started taking NR. You may also want a joint supplement...or you will eventually.

Working out after 1030 pm is difficult if you plan on sleeping shortly after. I'd consider dialing back your caffeine. 2 Keurig Pods + Mt Dew is right at the recommended limit. If you are over 50 I suggest a NAD supplement like NR. You are probably getting enough Vit D, B, and K from your multi...
