I'm surprised the article didn't mention 'Central Governor Theory'¹ which proposes that exercise fatigue is not a physical sensation but more like an 'emotion' created by the brain to prevent over-exertion. 1:

When I worked as a farmhand they gave me a Massey Ferguson 135. The old one with the round mudguards too. I used it for most small to medium jobs. I loved that old beast, I was so mad when I found out they got rid of it.

We are still using an Apple Laserwriter 12/640 PS postscript printer that we bought in 1998. I't on the second cartridge and works perfectly. I had some old sticks of RAM laying around so I upgraded it to 64Mb about ten years ago

The DNA evidence suggests the opposite, in fact. Many lines of evidence, linguistic, genetic, cultural suggest that polynesia was colonized west to east, probably originating in ancient Taiwan. Heyerdahl pulled of an impressive feat, but hi

Schopenhauer believed that we can't control who we are attracted to, nature does, and further that the mates nature predisposes us to aren't the one most likely to make us happy, it's the ones most likely to produce genetical

One suggestion that has been made is to not call the cops at all for certain kinds of emergencies: * Mental health (otherwise nonviolent) * Animal problems This alone could reduce deaths dramatically. I witnessed an incident where the cops

The mere exposure effect means that merely being exposed to something cause us to prefer it almost automatically. So if you hear "Rockstar" a bit more than the other songs, then you start to prefer it. It's like the olds say

How many beats do you expect there to be? I mean, most popular music is in 4/4 time, some of it is in 3/4 time. You have some oddball songs like "Solsbury Hill" is 7/4 time. Reggae is an interesting one: it's

Yeah you're right it's eclipse. I haven't been able to get IntilliJ to run broken code, which is one of the main reasons I stay with eclipse at least part of the time.

When programming in Java, I routinely run code that has compile errors in it. As long as my execution path doesn't hit any code containing errors, I can run debug and even modify code in the debugger. That's exploratory programm
