I love the how he simulates the hamburger menu with a page navigation. It just feels so wholesome in a sea of complex JS frameworks

Working in smaller steps is how you should build software. Constantly get feedback and re-evaluate what you're working on with other members of the team. Instead of giving an estimate, use t-shirt size.

With constant feedback, the whole team is participating in the emergent complexity, instead of being passive and just annoying you with "is it done yet"?

What does that have to do with present day? You're comparing two different times and circumstances

Didn’t know that was possible with Omega 3. The pills I have are 660mg and recommends 1 per day, seems you took about 3.5x that dose

By the way, how can you detect arrhythmia? Blood pressure monitor or Apple Watch? General feeling?

General feeling. At night I could definitely feel it going to sleep, and it went away after decreasing the dose. It could be a coincidence, but regardless of my personal experience, there's actual science behind it. Too much o3 can affect the blood vessels.

Have they made any mice immortal yet (with continuous treatments of stem cells and other therapies)?

Why are we still looking at mice studies for such a human-used substance?

This study used EPA: 0.55 mg/kg/day, and DHA: 0.55 mg/kg/day.

Among the largest I've heard in human studies are things like 4,400mg EPA and 2,200mg DHA.

Examine.com is one of the best resources to understand what evidence shows about supplements.

EPA appears to be the component that works for depression.

Also, important these days, is the quality: it should be filtered from heavy metals, and processed and stored in a way that avoids it going rancid by the time you consume it.

I strongly believe in the benefits of having a higher omega-3:omega-6 ratio than is common nowadays.

You have to be careful with such high doses over a long period of time. It can cause heart arrhythmia.

Omega 3 supplements are such a wild world. So many low quality ones, so many different types, and so many claims about them being miracle cures (that then don't hold out for later studies).

I have severe chronic dry eye, and omega 3 is one of the first things they recommend. But then in the past 5 or 6 years there have been a bunch of studies that have shown there is no actual measurable effect.

Some people still claim that it helps, but that you have to get it by actually eating Omega 3 rich fish, and not just taking the supplements. Either way, I've never seen any difference with my dry eye symptoms.

There are conflicting studies, but recently, it was determined you need adequate vitamin B levels to support omega-3.

As an aside, you can definitely over-dose on omega-3 which can cause afib, and increase your chance of stroke. I was taking 2 grams per day and definitely had arrhythmia issues. Decreasing the dosage to 500mg per day eliminated the arrhythmia.

Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, Ghostbusters, Office Space, Step Brothers, Idiocracy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I find comedies the most re-watchable)

Sounds pretty reductive and dismissive. Have you actually used LiveView and compared the DX? I've used a a few of the technologies you listed, and LiveView is a different animal.
