My anecdotal experience: TLDR: regular sauna seems to have no effect on my resting HR. Extended high HR cardio definitely does. I became a huge fan of sauna time (15-20 minutes at approx 175F/80C... I would prefer a bit warmer, but I

Most day to day apps and websites should be boring and usable, not truly unique or mind-blowing. In fact, humans waste countless hours trying to figure out what is what and how things work, just because there's always some designer try

Some people are just really good at leveraging others. Leverage enough other people, and you can get rich and or powerful. And the more you leverage, the more you get. A lot of current powerful people got lucky at one key moment (often inv

Those of us unfamiliar with Bevy can deduce what it might be, but it would be really nice if your introduction included at least a link titled "Bevy game engine" which links to bevy.org. Then your unfamiliar readers can first hop

This is normal business. Suppliers change due to all kinds of reasons. If you are planning any major build and you haven't also planned contingency cases, including alternate suppliers, then you are not qualified to be in charge of s

It's not that government has no idea, it's that around the world, too many "leaders" are directly or strongly indirectly being enriched by the fossil fuel industry and their support industries. So politicians have a choi

If you’re being drafted, chances are you had no desire to be joining the army.

If they want to draft any significant number of people, they will have to greatly lower the fitness standards.

Doesn't matter whom you elect, at least not as far as righting wrongs. You might prevent more egregious wrongs from happening, but convincing Congress to return to rule of law is impossible when Congress is almost entirely funded by t

Sometimes there is no justice. You just have to accept that bad people get away with bad stuff, usually at a significant cost to others.

She was sent to prison for lying and trying to cover up her insider trading. If she had just admitted and accepted the punishment, it would have been just a financial penalty. Her blunder was thinking she was too special (or too rich?... s

If you look at this as market manipulation as a method of generating (investment) returns, then it doesn't matter if your public lie only causes the prices to change for a day or two. As long as your people get in in the right directi

I think what you will see is what happens in the body when it becomes starved - it will start eating itself. We have already begun to see this. The middle class is no longer expanding, nor is the poor (by meaningful terms). Worse, the poo

I may be misinterpreting your comment, so forgive me if I am. When Trump began the trade wars (tariffs), it caused many countries to reconsider their alliances and operations. What you can see is a great shift away from the USD in many are

If you stop and think, LLMs seem to operate very much like humans. Go to any human and ask it a question, and it will answer either from direct specific experience, or from estimation based on its experience. We highly value humans who have
