Wasn't that the premise of the movie? Anna Kendrick's character was hired by the company to capture the process of firing people so they could do it remotely.
I wonder if there's a connection to Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) supplementation.
NR is a precursor to NAD+, which has been shown to improve mitochondrial function especially under stress.
NAD+ is one of those molecules used in a ton of metabolic processes and over a lifespan NAD+ avalability declines. This decline is linked to numerous age-related diseases. There's a bit of research showing NAD+ supplementation contributes to anti-aging effects.
NR is easy to take, well-tolerated, and a cheap precursor for NAD+. There are IV clinics that have NAD+ infusions, but they cost like $500. On the other hand, you can get a month's supply of NR for around $50 (Thorne's ResveraCel).
Note that Magnesium Citrate is often used as a laxative. It's usually an order of magnitude higher amount of magnesium than when you're taking it as a supplement though.
But if you are sensitive to magnesium's laxative effects you may want to look for another formulation.
Magnesium L-threonate may have better cognitive than other formulations, but I wonder if a magnesium glycinate formulation would be better for anxiety/stress reduction.
Anectdotally also, I take Magnesium Bisglycinate from Thorne occasionally and it helps me relax and feel less anxious. My muscles stay pretty rigid normally and after taking the magnesium supplement I can feel everything loosen up. Helps with sleep too.
Thanks! I forgot about that site. I was looking at it before, but was waiting for a Rails 4 update. It looks like a Rails 4 version of it was just recently put out, so I'll definitely go through it.
Not in reference to railstutorial.org, but I think the hard part about finding resources online is that it's hard to determine if it's still a good resource or outdated. This one looks good though!
I have the Sennheiser 558 headphones [1] and Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 (now UE600) in-ear monitors [2].
For the most part I use the Sennheiser's. They sound great and are open, so you can hear people talking if someone wants to get your attention. They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day without a problem. They come with a pretty long cord too, which I guess is a plus for some people.
If I want to be dead to the world, I'll put in the UE's. Even if you aren't playing any music, they will block out most of the outside world. The sound is better than the Sennheiser's, but I tend to only have one earphone in most of the time, so that I can hear people come by. Also, the cord is pretty short, so without an extension, you're limited in the range you can travel around.
I would try to sway anyone away from using Bose headphones. Really, you're paying for the name, not the sound.
If you want to do some research, I would suggest checking out Headfonia [3]. They have really well thought out reviews on most of the headphones/earphones/amps in any budget range.
