I got sucked into Satisfactory for weeks and as much as I want to try Factorio, I am heeding your advice
I am curious what draws you to Satisfactory. I played a decent amount of Factorio and thought Satisfactory would scratch the same itch, but could not get into it

What’s the statin controversy. I mean I know what it is, but do you have reliable citations?
I'm not an expert by any means, but here's the gist of my understanding of the statin controversy from reading Metabolical:
- There's two types of LDL cholesterol that are measured together in a standard fasting lipid profile: type A LDL and type B LDL
- Type A LDL makes up 80% of LDL and is increased by dietary fat consumption
- Type A LDL is not predictive of heart disease nor does it drive the accumulation of plaque in the arteries
- Type A LDL is lowered by statins
- Type B LDL makes up 20% of LDL and is predictive of heart attacks
- Type B LDL is not lowered by statins
- Taking statins comes with a bunch of side effects
- Selling statins has been a lucrative business
