I'm running Lyle McDonald's Generic Bulking Routine. Which Upper/Lower split is the best schedule? I care a lot more about Upper body than Lower.
Sun: Upper
Mon: Lower
Tue: Rest
Wed: Upper
Thu: Rest
Fri: Lower
Sat: Rest
Or this?

Not sure which gym to signup for? They seem quite similar.
I'd prefer to join a gym with a younger crowd since I'm in my 20s.
Both are technically in Allen, but they're closer to me.
Which one is better?

For the other apps like Hinge and Tinder, I have noticed that if I delete my profile + uninstall and wait for 90+ days until I join back, I'll get a fresh clean start.
I have not tried this for CMB though because of the currency buildup. I've got beans and flowers that I haven't used.
I've had the same account/profile with CMB for a couple years without ever deleting/reinstalling and I wonder if this is holding me back.
Does deleting/uninstalling and then joining back after 90+ days give you a clean start?
Since there's so many warnings about how you should be honest, I reported some casual self-employment earnings from my YouTube channel. It was only $200 Adsense I made for one weekly claim.
I don't have an LLC for the YouTube channel or anything. It's just sole prop.
They took issue with that, and sent me an alert titled 'Self-employment' and asked me 'Why did you fail to report this previously?' even though I did report it on every claim.
They're questioning whether I'm even eligible for UI now even though I was approved and already received 2 weekly payments.
What is their issue? Do they want me to hide it and just not report it? I thought I was doing them a favor by telling them everything transparently.
I haven't checked it since YouTube devs made the change to remove it from the Channel Content page
Have you? Who cares! Views, AVD, CTR is all that matters, realistically.
10M Subs (Speed, KSI, FaZe Rug) - each of them has a net worth over $10M
500M Subs (MrBeast) - he's easily worth $500M, probably closer to $1B
I make faceless commentary videos talking about tech and finance. I post once per week.
For my first video at 0 subscribers, I actually wrote the script myself with no help. It took forever to make. Video did alright, but the average view duration was kinda low.
Since then, I've been using Claude for all my scripts, and I go off-script only a couple times in each video. The videos perform well, and of course it takes much less time to make a video. The like to dislike ratios are acceptable too (all over 80%)
However, I do get a handful of comments on every video I post like "obvious chatgpt script" or "AI script". So much so, that I have blocked the words 'AI' and 'chatgpt' from my channel so the comments are held instead of published.
The comments irk me a lot more than they should. Realistically I shouldn't care because comments are meaningless.
What should I do now? Should I just keep using AI scripts? The algorithm seems to like it and does not penalize me. I wish I could show more personality but it's whatever.
I've seen Bryan sleep shirtless (maybe even fully without clothes) but I have also seen him wearing a nightdress set.
Is it better to sleep naked or to sleep with certain materials like cotton or bamboo clothing?
I heard some people say sleeping naked is the best, but also heard that could backfire because you'll feel your body heat and sweat more, which'll wake you up and then make it impossible to fall back asleep.
I just got approved for the max UI weekly benefit amount of $1,152 for Washington unemployment.
However, for MOST of my base year that was used for unemployment calculation, I did get paid while I was on leave (FMLA, then Short-Term Disability). I'm not sure if that was paid by my employer or by Prudential.
Without it, I only have 424 hours, which is under the 680 hours requirement.
However, the unemployment claim was approved. I just hope this wasn't an oversight and won't come up later down the road as an issue?

I worked in Washington state until March 21st 2025. All my paystubs until the March 31st paystub were for Washington state tax code.
The gross pay for Washington was $32,499.10 (Jan 2025 to March 14th 2025).
Then I moved to Texas and I did inform payroll so they could update the state code for paystubs. So the remainder of the year was $55,905.22 in TX.
However, I did also go on disability leave shortly after moving.
Termination date was June 5th 2026. Where do I file?
I want to setup a trust as part of my estate planning.
Fidelity Trustee Services offers corporate trustee. I've heard good things about it and I have all my money with them anyway.
The only problem is that it requires $1M in assets within the trust, so you need a $1m net worth excluding all retirement accounts.
I've only got $700k in non-retirement assets. Do I just wait until I hit $1M or look elsewhere?

Since around mid-May, I noticed that my apartment gets to 75%+ humidity at nights, making sleeping tough.
Optimal humidity should be no greater than 50%.
I'm gonna buy a dehumidifier asap, but honestly I didn't think I'd need one here.
Anyone else noticed this? How are you dealing with it? Do you have a dehumidifier or is a ceiling fan good enough for you? Or does your AC have built-in humidity management?
I make finance/tech videos.
A tech company reached out asking me for a 30 second sponsored segment.
They said their budget is $250 in the initial email. Pretty sure that’s a lowball and they’re expecting me to negotiate.
Do I counter with a number or just ask for a stronger offer? What specific number do I counter with?
My channel has 6k subs and pulled 62k views in the past 28 days.
If you need other channel specific metrics just let me know and I’ll share.
The cost is not an issue for me, but I've seen mixed reviews on whether you should or should not go for an MRI with Prenuvo/Ezra
Some say it's worth it and other people say it gives you false information to worry about.
Is this legit and worth doing yearly or is it just a cash grab?
I rendered a 1080p60fps video for YouTube just now.
Normally I never have rendering issues, but this time the audio just randomly popped at one particular spot at the 8 minute mark of the video.
No clue why. I thought it was the audio file I was using at first, but it was totally normal.
I then re-rendered it and the issue fixed itself.
I'm still annoyed that it happened to begin with though.
I've got an M5 Pro that's supposed to easily do 4k rendering so it's unacceptable.
I'm gonna switch to Resolve 21 Beta and hope I don't experience this again.
Does the Apple Silicon not being supported have to do with this?
There's SO many options and I'm overwhelmed.

Apparently even Bryan Johnson offers bloodwork through Blueprint?
What's your go-to option for preventive labs?
Maybe I've had bad luck, but the doctors that I've visited would not let me add lab tests that I was interested in adding because they were 'out of the norm'.
I wanted to do a Magnesium lab test and a Vitamin B12 test, and some others too.
I know there's an out of pocket expense, which I am fine with. It would fall towards my insurance deductible, which I'm fine with.
Are there any doctors in Plano/Allen that will allow patients to do any tests they choose?
