I also have to do this kind of work (with financial data), and actually built a product to make it easy. It's currently in closed beta but please send me an email (listed in my profile) if this is truly a frequent pain for you and you'd like to try it out.

Went vegetarian ~13 years ago. No regrets, no problems, no complaints.
Me too, only 5 years ago.

An election is not a coup just because you disagree with the elected peoples' views.
Not sure I fully agree. The bank does not just hold my money. It’s going to turn around and lend some of thst money and make a decent return and especially in a high interest environment. They wouldn’t be able to do that if I didn’t keep my deposit with them. My risk is non existent because of the govt and not because of the banks clean character of protecting my money.
Yes, so they take risk, and they should get a return. You will get your money no matter what, so your return is close to nothing. There's no greed or deception here – it's just market forces. If you want a higher return, buy a bond like the bank.
Get ready for the "calories in calories out" people to come after you. Intermittent fasting also helped me lose around 15 pounds but in around half the time with a 20 hour fasting window.
Money doesn't automatically grow – you need to take risk to get a return. Your checking account takes no risk, so your bank shouldn't really pay much for you to keep your money in your account.

It's more about convention. Typically, PUT overwrites data, whereas POST adds data. If you PUT to /users/3 you overwrite a user, whereas if you POST to /users you add a user.
React made me 10 times faster, and I'm not exaggerating.

The fact that I've seen many, many rejoinders to "crypto has no long term value" in the "well, just short it then" vein makes me think these talking points must be what the cool kids on r/Bitcoin or somewhere are spewing.
I don't necessarily believe all crypto is going to zero, but for Bitcoin specifically I believe (a) that proof of work is definitely unsustainable as the market cap grows and (b) given the power of miners in the BTC protocol, I have a difficult time believing they'll ever transition off PoW (e.g. compared to what ETH has done).
But, of course, shorting an asset requires conviction not just that its value is going down, but when. I would easily bet that within some decent extended time period, say 15 years, that the value of BTC will be zero or near zero. I am unaware how to short an asset feasibly over that long of a time period.

I don't use Reddit or any other social networks. This is the only site I post anything on. My suggestion to put a trade on instead of just saying stupid things on the Internet comes from institutional trading culture.
Anyone can say anything. Almost nobody backs it up with money.
