This seems like a real problem for older astronauts who will never be able to gain that muscle back. Muscle mass is so vital for long term health. 70-year-olds confined to bed rest for just two weeks have been observed to lose significant m

Don't forget chocolate, tomatoes, and basically all spicy food. The spiciest thing in the Old World before Columbus was black pepper.

I ignored the show Expedition Unknown forever, thinking it was another one of these kinds of shows. But it's actually really cool and fact-based (except for the ghost/monster chasing spin off of the same name - why Josh, why?).

The Milky Way is only 100k light years across. So one of those two things can't be true. The article says: "N6946-BH1 is in a galaxy 22 million light-years away". So it's a different galaxy.

This is the first I've heard of this scandal. I'm curious what the major problems were with the software that caused the discrepancies. Dropped connections? Wikipedia didn't go into much detail with that. Ok I found this: ht

Yeah most people don't realize their iPhone is already "photoshopping" the heck out of their image.

Unfortunately Instagram has become the primary vector for photographers to get their work out there, and the small size basically demands flashy over the top editing to get anyone's attention.

So many software devs seem to have this attitude that the customer (internal or external) should just shut up and be happy with whatever they've been given. I've often felt that many devs could benefit from a stint waiting tables

I love this kind of stuff. When you're sure the thing that seems to be happening couldn't possibly be happening, and then you find out that literally the speed of light is coming into play. We had a similar problem at one of my fi

It's not outside the realm of possibility that life on earth might have been seeded from other alien life either intentionally, or by viruses or bacteria hitching a ride on meteorites.

A perfect example of this absurdity is expressing mock excitement: "ZOMG!1!!one1!" Spelling out the one kills me every time.

Yeah Seinfeld talks about this too. Jokes have to be worked and worked. Sometimes he said the best wording only comes to him on stage.

It wasn't as much the jokes as it was her delivery, her aura, etc. For a while she dated one of the more established comedians, who would either feed her jokes, or help her work up her own material. So the jokes were pretty good. But i

I used to do standup comedy at the mostly amateur level. One woman who was always at the same shows was so unfunny, she could suck the life out of any room. I always tried to study her, thinking that if I could understand the essence of why

It's a great deal for Tim. He never has to work overtime to deliver something, and never has to fix bugs on stuff he built. That said I believe the author that Tim was a huge net positive.

Same here, no matter how many times I click dislike on said Canadian academic. My theory is that the algorithm has figured out that even people who don't like him can still fall down the rabbit hole. And when they do, they become hyper

Michael Jordan and Patrick Mahomes both stuck/stick their tongue out when making plays. Mahomes has said it's involuntary and he doesn't know he's doing it until he sees film later.

So many great forum posts from the mid-2000s, ruined by Imageshack crapping out. Couldn't they just sell their image store to imgUr or something? I wonder if it's gone forever.

Nevermind all the people with long covid who still have brain fog, or the people who just flat out died from covid. No let's worry instead about some made up side effect of the vaccine that THEY don't want you to know about.

But at some point the people get fed up with the same corporate message and do something crazy like elect Trump. I feel like there's a limit to how much corporations can influence voters, the same way there's a limit to how much m

It's still very very different than what's happening in say Nicaragua right now, where the will of the majority of the people has no bearing.

The key is being able to throw the bums out every 4-8 years. This gives Democracy a self-correcting feature that doesn't work with lifetime rulers.

I had a similar experience with BASIC on the C64 in high school, which set me back about 10 years from becoming a programmer. But on the upside I got a lot out of my system in my 20s, and have never gotten burnt out on programming.
