BPC-157 and NAC is all you.
Scientists found a peptide that reverses alcohol damage across the entire body in under 30 minutes. They published a paper detailing a specific peptide that acts like a biological kill-switch for alcohol toxicity. And the results are actually terrifyingly good. they used 96% alcohol to induce massive, systemic damage in subjects.. we are talking severe gastric lesions, vascular collapse, and an escalated "central syndrome". basically, catastrophic organ failure. then they introduced the bpc-157 peptide.. and it didn't just slow the damage down.. it completely counteracted it. it activated an innate "cytoprotective" effect that rapidly repaired the vascular system in real-time. researchers tracked it all the way down to the gene expression level, watching the peptide dynamically alter genes to upregulate healing and block the alcohol toxicity at the source.

It’s literally insane when your daughter transforms from a girl into a young woman I love you unconditionally but coming from a family of four boys, I was not prepared.

the irony the WoW guild name I wanted... <Skill Issue> /facepalm "couldn't get the guild name you wanted?...." "skill issue" 🤣
hey, @blizzard, i really love the new guild charter system. step one, skin 100 wolves. step two, buy a guild charter with the coolest name you've ever thought of. step three, advertising trade chat that you're looking for guild signatures for your cool guild name. step four, gather all the signatures and return to questing for a few hours. step five, run all the way back to stormwind and turn in the guild charter. step six, be informed that someone else has now snaked your guild's name because you advertised it in trade chat. step seven, seethe and cope.

my 10x engineer trying to convince people that there's no such thing as a 10x engineer. pretty sure theo's just trying to keep all the 10x engineers for himself.
The gap between an average engineer and the best engineers was never quite 10x, but it was meaningful. AI has made the gap at least 100x.

this is great
One of my favorite research practices I learned at @inkandswitch is “preinfusion”. The term comes from espresso (I believe @pvh coined it?) - and the original meaning is that you have a lower pressure soak before you turn on the high pressure and pull the shot. The way it works at the lab is that you patiently let a cluster of ideas slowly form and develop, meandering somewhat in the background, and you lay the groundwork to work on them more seriously… before starting an intense high-pressure sprint. Could be a few months of part-time preinfusion before a hardcore 3 month project. This really helps avoid the problem where you’re trying to sprint, but you don’t actually have enough clarity to know where to run. I think this applies in many other contexts. Preinfuse before trying to write an essay. Preinfuse before raising money for a company. A slow and patient preparation can enable swift follow through.

we're only a few days in and i've already had an incredible time hanging out with a bunch of cool new friends. i started this group chat just because my depression has left me incredibly socially isolated. (incredibly compared to my baseline) and it's already filled with some of the most interesting nerds i've ever talked to. admission is limited right now to moots and moots of moots. but I plan on figuring out a way for people to come in and be part of the community and "level up" in "guild ranking". i remember what it was like to be on twitter and not have anybody in tech know i existed. be patient with me. i'm just figuring all this stuff out as i go and dealing with my depression as well.
are you an angel investor, VC, designer, engineer or other Silicon Valley nerd who’s going to play WoW Forever? you should join our group chat! link in the replies
