Is he in Big Wellness's pocket? I hadn't heard anything about that. Who's paying him off? He's a Kennedy with a net worth of about $15 million so he doesn't exactly need the money. He strikes me as an authentic true believer in his cause, but he could just be a really convincing con man, so I'd love to learn more about this.

Please link to some credible sources showing that he's being paid off by someone.

Why are doctors telling women that it's okay to take Tylenol during pregnancy in the first place? Everything they put in their bodies can have an effect on the baby so medication for pregnant mothers should be severely limited. Why haven't we learned from the Thalidomide scandal?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal

Tylenol only helps for minor aches and pains that frankly, pregnant mothers should just deal with for the good of their unborn child. The risk is not worth it.

RFK Jr. isn't right on everything, but he's not wrong on everything either and it's refreshing seeing someone head HHS that isn't in big pharma's pocket for a change.

My unhelpful answer is that I usually begin an unproductive procrastination loop wherein I overanalyze different alternative programming languages, frameworks, libraries, and possible ways to build software. I read a ton of books and tutorials and then never build the thing. Oh and I spend way too much time here and on other websites.

My helpful answer is that occasionally I break out of this procrastination loop and just start making something I think would be cool. It doesn't have to be anything new or exciting, just something that will keep my interest or even better scratch my own itch.

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that you shouldn't reinvent the wheel. This couldn't be further from the truth. Just imagine if people actually followed this advice in the technology space. Almost all of the software that you use on a daily basis is a reinvented wheel.

Does operate locally retain any smart features or does it just essentially become a dumb thermostat?

I highly recommend Ecobee if you want an alternative to Google Nest.

This is why I’ve become sour on Raspberry Pi. By the time you obtain all the parts you need to turn it into a usable computer you’re spending more than you would for a used mini desktop PC that is more compatible and often more performant. Unless you really need an ARM processor for some reason, it’s hard to justify it.

Household solar installations are still too expensive to be a reasonable option for many consumers in the United States. The amount of solar generation is also very dependent on where you live. Not to mention, it is becoming increasingly difficult to become a homeowner with people achieving this milestone later than ever. If you rent, it’s not really an option at all.

> On average, it takes between nine and 12 years for solar panels to pay for themselves.

I wish the Biden administration had been boring. Unfortunately, they pursued several very destructive and dangerous policies that we will feel the negative repercussions of for many years to come.

We’ll see what happens in 6 months as you said, but so far I don’t regret my vote.

Trump isn’t a perfect president by any means, but he is a massive improvement over Biden. Biden was the worst president of my lifetime and possibly the worst president our country has ever had.

I see from your profile that you're from The Netherlands, so understand that the news you hear about Trump is not the whole story.

I'm not convinced that Harris would've been much better. She was given essentially one job: border Czar and she failed miserably at that. Although, I guess the open borders policy that encouraged unprecedented illegal immigration was intentional. and probably part of the greater globalist agenda. She is a DEI hire, chosen only because of her gender and skin color. Biden literally said he was going to choose a woman of color to be his vice president. Bear in mind that Harris was the first major Democrat candidate to be forced out of the primary, so she was not at all chosen on merit.

Despite what you hear, Trump is a much more popular president than Biden was here and he is mostly doing what people elected him to do. He's had a few missteps for sure, for example he needs to just release the Epstein files already and please stop talking shit about annexing Greenland and Canada. He also needs to stop licking Israel's boots so much. That being said, he's doing a fantastic job with securing the border, foreign policy (he's helped to secure several peace agreements... https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-where-donald-trump-has-he...), and so far the economy has been noticeably better than under Biden. Also, the way he handled the assassination attempt (that the media has done their best to memory hole) was incredible. He jumped up, blood dripping from his ear shouting fight, fight, fight! That picture of him with his fist raised and the secret service agents holding him back is just so powerful and iconic, just very Presidential. (https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/conte...)

He's also much more transparent than the previous administration. Biden would give extremely rare, short, scripted interviews with the press where he literally had maps of who to call on and what to reply back to their scripted questions. Even then, he would often botch the press interviews. In contrast, Trump gives frequent, lengthy, off the cuff unscripted interviews. He also, for good or for bad, posts frequently to social media with his real honest opinions and positions. People like that he has a certain air of authenticity about him. He's not the typical American politician that dances around questions and speaks only with perfect, politically correct, focus group tested language.

The news media in America is heavily biased towards the left and does everything they can to cast him in a negative light, so it is important to view everything you hear about him through that lens.

No, Biden wasn't running anything at all. He was in severe cognitive decline the whole presidency. Shame on everyone involved with that elder abuse.

Whoever was in the shadows pulling the puppet strings however is another story...

I’m all for the law being applied equally to everyone no matter which political party they affiliate with. To be honest it’s ridiculous that we all just accept that politicians get to play by a different set of rules and that your side is corrupt, but it’s different when my side does it.
