I think it works, toxins can transmit into the body not just through the ingestion route but also skin absorption among many other routes. So if there's toxins in the sand of the kind the skin is vulnerable to then that sandbox would b

It may not have been too visible to the outside but Apple never really halted operations as urgently as other companies did. They kind of took a more skeptical approach and kept people coming into the office and taking up the mask and tempe

My friend joined Coinbase who he recommended to me. They are highly remote or very remote friendly. The CEO has a great vision too, I enjoyed some of the talks he gave eg with Gary Tan, etc.

I was getting curious recently if there was a suitability for running mini Haber Bosch equipment in small batches that would serve a neighborhood or town, or a homestead. Not sure really but it was interesting to contemplate distributing th

it's interesting folks have interpreted this as a blocking call to effectively do nothing in the face of such uncertainty. To me it was an invitation to begin to engage in second order thinking.

What do the new cars offer exactly? I always understood it as to shield a child from the power of the airbags that are present in the front seat. Is there some mechanism that's changed for that seating with respect to air bag deploymen

Wow, I wonder if that’s a sure route to start a competitor company, develop it a bit, and expect a sure buyer down the road? Would be a pretty funny game of whak-a-mole for them to be playing to keep the competitive landscape mowed.

I thought MRI had no absolute spatial scale unlike a CT or X-ray does when a known dimension radio-opaque reference marker object is put into the field of view. Am I mistaken here?

That’s an interesting metric, price per sqft. Where’d you come across that in light of this context? I always heard of price per sqft on the context of building and as one of the metrics on Trulia and the like but as a high level metric to

bartering income, that's funny I always perceived bartering as an equal trade of no net difference. But that may be a perceptual thing, the value to the individual is equal but perhaps not on the open market of whatever the correspondi

right, I think that type of bigotry is commonly identified with the phrase the soft bigotry of low expectations . Never knew the origins of that phrase until today. Interesting to see the word implicit show up in the definition, sounds abo

sounds painful, the only thing I could think of would be to test the precision of transcribing step by step. Sounds like the surface area for loss of precision is wider when you just add the noise of messy figures into a problem. A clever s

Thank you for #2, I never knew these points > Substack’s key metric is not engagement. Our key metric is writer revenue. We make money only when Substack writers make money, by taking a 10% cut of the revenue they make from subscriptions

oh man you're right. I thought that green signage denoted a county road, like you see in the side by side the 237 being green, and the 101 being white. Now I'm curious where that tabulation was I saw years ago that detailed the di

I can't make heads or tails of why fasttrack has those messages "Tolling Begins Spring 2021", "Tolling Begins Spring 2022". Is this is a deliberately misleading message to get people to think that the system is not

wow, the internet and the "coalescing of the fringe", which is probably a more apt phrase and characterization of this phenomenon.

So true, 100% on the tutorial videos. I found myself watching this super basic tutorial video the other day that had a lot of polish and shine but lacked a huge amount of substance. I wondered how such videos would operate if the downvotes
