It's like the punchline of the old joke about the man talking to his doctor, why do you want to live to 100 so badly if you live such a boring life?
"If you give up smoking, drinking, gambling, meat and sex, exercise for four hours a day, go to bed early and rise with the birds then you won't live any longer, it will just seem like it".
No, you're not. Beautiful 41 year old movie stars don't look like they're 20-something. Beautiful 41 year old supermodels don't look like they're 20-something.
Avoid all WHITE foods with the exception of cauliflower.
What about fish? Rice?
I know you could eat mackerel and brown rice instead, but the same goes for wholemeal flour, demera sugar and there's probably brown salt if you look hard enough.
Hear hear!! I have celiac disease. Anything with greater than 3 parts per million gluten can literally destroy the lining of my small intestine. I am also at increased risk of small intestine cancer, osteoporosis and neuropathy as a result of my CD. Adhering to a strict GF diet for me is not fanaticism. It is to save my life. That restaurant sounds like a great place for me to eat at!
If I was that allergic to something, I wouldn't trust any restaurant. I'd only be eating stuff I prepared myself with 100% guaranteed sources.
While there is evidence to support that processed foods are frequently harmful if consumed regularly over time
Really? Where? Just because canned food is "processed" it does not make it bad for you. And i have never seen a study to support this assertion in any way or form. After all bread is processed foods!
Generally when people talk about processed food, they mean things that are padded out with excess sugar, salt and fat. Excess sugar, salt and fat are not good for you.
I'm 30, a lot of people guess my age anywhere from 15 To 20 At a glance. I smoke, roll my own because packaged makes my breathing shallow. I barely eat any veggies, raw carrots and tomato based substances. Love fruit but can barely ever afford it. Don't eexercise much but can lift twice my weight and walk miles without problem. Regularly go 2-3 Days without sleep. Drink up to 4 Liters of cola made with real sugar, cant stand taste of artificial sugar.
Despite this I donate plasma, part of that is getting sugar' protein' hcl etc tested. Always spot on where I should be. Other than acne I attribute to my sugar and caffeine addictions, doctors call me a model of health. I do very little that people tell me is healthy, trust my own instinct over a doctors opinion in that regard.
You forgot to mention that you are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Everyone should at least know how to change a light bulb, install a ceiling fan, fix a leaky faucet, plant a garden and change their own oil.
Apart from changing a light bulb, these are all things it's easier to pay someone else to do, although a general awareness of how they work is obviously useful (like any knowledge).
Doing something like fixing a leaky faucet or installing a ceiling fan is fine until things go wrong.
I think the bar you're setting for "outside the box" might be too high. It reminds me of when people talk about "originality" in art, and dismiss everything as "unoriginal" because it was inspired by something or other. Set a standard so high it can't be reached.
I do a lot of what people consider "outside the box" thinking, but in my mind, it's really just "taking a step back". Are we asking the right questions? Are we trying to accomplish the right goal? To give a simple/obvious example, a client says that they want Microsoft Office, but don't have the money to pay for it. If everyone else is scrambling around looking for sales and discounts, then it might be "outside the box" thinking just to say, maybe we should download a copy of LibreOffice, let them test it, and see if it does everything they need. The box you were in was "buying a cheap copy of MS Office", and you thought outside of the box.
I think proper "outside the box" thinking in that situation would be more like "how about if we built a time machine and went back to the 1970s and invented Microsoft Office before Microsoft even existed as a company so that we owned it ourselves".
It's about as likely as getting most clients to use something other than Microsoft Office.
I mean I wouldn't expect a non-engineer to be coming up with great ideas for space travel, either. Wild ideas only rarely make it. We hear about stories where those wild ideas from people who have no skill do make it but the vast majority of those wild ideas fall flat.
The great ideas in space travel would be things like JFK's "let's put a man on the moon by the end of the decade".
Everyone should know the basics of electricity. What a fuse is, how it flow, what a ground does, etc.
Yes, but it depends on your definition of "basics." Not everyone needs to know as much as an electrical engineer (or electrician).
Car analogy: if you're going to drive you need to know how to check tyre pressures, and fill up with petrol, but you don't need to be able to build an engine from raw materials.
Coders SHOULD be forced to learn about investment if they ARE GOING TO RUN AN INVESTMENT COMPANY. Likewise, even the idea person should learn to code if THEY ARE GOING TO RUN A TECH COMPANY.
Glad you proved the point.
All companies are investment companies once you get past the one man and his dog stage.

Reality has shown that increased minimum wage decreases unemployment.
You can't go bringing reality into a discussion about economics!
I look 30 years younger, while doing parties and drugs and all that jazz. I'm so sexy it hurts.
I look 50 years younger than I am and I'm 40.

I'm also a 20-something looking 41 year old

Pasta is good (or bad) for you in the same way that bread is, i.e. OK in moderation.
(If it's the water you're in a bit of trouble).

And remember, "sensitivity" does not mean an allergy.
Fascist!

Hair fell out early, and turned gray long ago.
With most people it turns gray, then falls out.
Being rich is the only real measure of an entrepreneur. The mistake is in thinking that being a good entrepreneur is inherently a good thing.

All companies are investment companies once you get past the one man and his dog stage.
Ideas are cheap. People who actually can code already have loads of their own. There's just no way to be a pure "ideas person".
So what's all the fuss about? If it's so impossible to be a pure ideas person, then they will disappear.
those that will commit atrocities like charging 6 year olds with sexual assault
Bullshit. Surely you have an age of criminal responsibility where you live? No sane country charges children that young with criminal offences.
There are lots of jobs that don't involve writing software.
What does "college students dreaming of becoming unicorns in Silicon Valley" mean?
This is what happens when you work hard at being someone that is very very good at the job and in a very in demand field.
Meanwhile, in the real world, 99% of people aren't that interested in their stupid fucking jobs.
If everyone could be a billionaire then they would be.
How about............get a different job that is closer to home?
You're either a self-made billionaire working on his yacht in the Med or a part time McDonalds burger flipper sitting in his mother's basement.
It's a tough choice.
