Couldn't the same be said about capitalism, to some degree? According to the article, Musk has become $154 billion richer since Trump is in power. How did this benefit you?

But what is happening right now is not really the same as to what happened the last four years, is it? If we forget about partisan wars for a second, are there precedents to what Trump is trying to do? Genuine question, I'm not a USA citizen and I can't keep up with everything.

Hi. Great work! I'll be giving this a try, as I always type my notes on txt files.

Any plans on adding support for tabs/multiple files? I usually have different files for different types of notes (todos, project notes, tmp file for random things, etc).

Sorry but I'm not believing this without any proof.

This whole post is about how difficult it is to study chess and to improve, and you just stumble to 2000 playing for fun, with no study and no endgame knowledge. Also, consistency is most definitely not enough to improve: if you consistently practice the wrong things, you won't improve. And, if you didn't study chess at all and just played, like you mentioned, I also find it hard to believe that when you hit a roadblock you were able to identify what you needed to practice and implement a plan.

Re:Fasting can improve overall health on Thursday January 17, 2019 @02:22AM (#18929013)
This is exactly my experience with the diet.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for about 3 months now. I fast for 16 hours, and have 2 meals a day (lunch at 12PM and dinner at 8PM), I eat 0 to low carbs, since my diet is mostly animal based products (meat and eggs, and I have protein powder from beef and egg which I occasionally take as well).

I really don't feel hungry at all, never. It's insane. I go to the gym at 7AM, after 11 hours of fasting, and I can workout just fine. The difference has been absolutely crazy.
