node.js and Netscape are about 20 years apart ;) I also don't remember an npm. newsgroup hierarchy. As a teenager during that time I recall some binary newsgroups though :)

Nice! In my experience small issues can escalate if left unchecked because you start compensating and your body also "learns" to do things the wrong way.

I'm a fair bit older than you... What you're saying is true but it's also worth mentioning your body has capabilities you're probably far from reaching. Most people your age can still exceed any physical accomplishment t

I would say your foundation should be the science and you can fine tune to your personal experience. If you're starting from personal experience you're just going to miss out on the wealth of pre-existing knowledge and are likely

The science supports that holding stretches longer helps. But it's hardly the best way to stretch vs. something like PNF. But sure, there's no downside other than taking more time and it's pretty standard in Yoga practices as

I donno if you're suggesting I write a blog about stretching? ;) I think Andrew Huberman did a podcast about this topic and he's usually pretty thorough. This summary seems good to me: https://www.hubermanlab.com/n

Yeah, that has been known for a while, I guess at least since the 1960's but given I've seen something similar in Yoga I'd guess way further back. The more important bit though is that there are actually much more effective m

There is a wealth of science on stretching. https://www.bradapp.com/docs/rec/stretching/ is (I think) an evolution of the "old" rec.stretching FAQ which was pretty good way back. https://

Maybe it's a bit too strong. I do think there was a real problem with having medical professional in charge when their discipline and expertise were not the perfect match to the real world problems we were facing. Their policies might

I agree public health officials in certain countries did a poor job. For the most part they were medical professionals who aren't necessarily experts (though some of them were and some countries had expert advisers to set policy). Ther

9/11 deniers can tell you in great detail how it's impossible for airplanes to have brought down the towers and all sorts of other nonsense. The conspiracy theorists ignore the actual reality while making stuff up. It's not t

This is partly why I said science isn't truth. Science evolves. And the virus evolved. I don't recall any scientist promising Covid would be eradicated by the vaccines or that nobody would get sick. Even diseases for which really

There isn't actually such a big difference between flat earthers and other conspiracy theories. The common theme is that it's the opposite of science or the scientific process. Conspiracy theorists filter out anything that doesn&#

I thought the Russians relied more on military gas powered drones (like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlan-10 ) and were not using cheaper fpvs. Certainly in the earlier days there was a lot of footage of Ukranian

Ukraine has been using improvised small FPV drones since Russia invaded pretty much. The Russians in contrast seem to have been using larger drones (like those supplied by Iran). Hezbollah has been attacking Israel from Lebanon for many mon

An electric motor is very different from an internal combustion engine. I'm not sure where you were going with the analogy but an electric motor does eliminate the need to lubricate that an internal combustion engine has (no valves, cr

In religious circles it's not uncommon to prefix each and every writing with that. It's very generic sort of implying god is everywhere. So in writing, in that context, it has no real special significance other than to hint the wr

Not sure why Taiwan is that much of a wedge, or Ukraine for that matter. Ukraine used to be under effective Russian control anyways up to fairly recent times and Putin being pissed off about the change that's partly behind the war. Nat

Israel is tiny. Tel Aviv which is "much" farther has also been hit by rockets from Gaza. The longest range rockets I believe are 155 miles (Ayyash 250) which can reach any point in Israel (and fly over Israel into Lebanon). From G

Money is certainly part of it, the Israeli government tends to subsidize these sorts of initiatives. Costs would typically be lower vs. other options like Japan, Germany or the USA even without those subsidies. Israel has a long history of
