Sure if you go 100% soylent without ramping. Any major diet change usually ends up with diarrhea. Typically your body adjusts. Its the same tired trope when people complain about diarrhea from cuisuine they rarely eat.

I've never done it but know multiple people who have lived off soylent(or alternatives) for long periods of time.

Yea, I go out of my way to Microcenter, passing several Best Buys.

Healthcare costs in the US is usually the blocker for me when I think about extended stays as a hermit.

I've definitely been in a hostel where they should have had this sign. Woke up to my bunk rockin.

I agree to some extent. They're grossly overpriced. But I don't see many shoebox options. All the layouts feel oversized and not efficient. Including the few studios. Hell a lot places have 2 parking spots for most units because of zoning laws.

I think American developers don't like to go small unless they're absolutely forced to.

What? All the new American apartments I've seen are luxury and full of nice amenities. Which I think is a problem because none of it is affordable. Even older apartments get renovated and the rent shoots up. I would love to see some practical and efficient apartments.

This is Denver so your region my differ. From what I gather new bare bones apartments only exist in extreme cost of living areas like Sanfran or NYC.

No? Barcodes and QR codes do not have enough information for unique identification. (Well they could but they start getting bigger and bigger)

But the real issue is needing these codes tracked and audited in a public manner. Instead of having a third party company trusted with all the cheese, you use a Blockchain with a public ledger. This doesn't even require much processing power since there's no incentive to mine as many blocks as possible.

I hate cryptobros but logistics is a good use for the tech. Tech is tech, not all use cases are bad.

I had a 6 month gap and I said I was taking a sabbatical (which was the truth). No one batted an eye.

Which they are: https://www.grants.gov/learn-grants/grant-reporting

Grants are an incredible way to advance technology, create educated citizens, and boost the economy. Private industry also benefits since they don't have to risk their own R&D budget. And in some areas, the private sector will not touch since there's not a obvious way to make profit. Although they will still use that public research when it suits them.

The GOP wants you to be ignorant of how everything works and get away with blackmailing institutions they don't like.
