How healthy is intermittent fasting for your heart? Fortune (furzy). Biased sample. Overweight young men. And how do you eat over a period of 16 hours a day? Eating as soon as you roll out of bed and snacking right before you turn in? Without making an effort, I normally eat all my meals in 6 to 8 hours. Not trying to fast, this is just when it makes sense to eat.
Marc is totally wrong
1) Covid is worse, more dangerous than the flu. This has been shown extensively by Dr Al Aly
2) Covid is the 3rd cause of death in the USA
3) Covid still kills 3x more than flu currently after massive directed technology and brainpower https://t.co/l0qyyoGwbO pic.twitter.com/atGPD0k1SHā AJ Leonardi, MBBS, PhD (@fitterhappierAJ) March 22, 2024

A Trump Bankruptcy? and A Trump Bankruptcy: Further Thoughts Adam Levitin, Credit Slips. Important. Note from his first post, which a top tax expert pointed out to me a while back:
The primary attraction of bankruptcy for Trump would be delay. The key mechanism for delay from bankruptcy would be the āautomatic stayā that automatically goes into effect with a bankruptcy filing. The stay stops almost all efforts to collect against an entity that has filed for bankruptcy. That means a bankruptcy would stop entire appeal clock and vitiate the need for any entity that has filed for bankruptcy to post a bond.
