    I would say that learning draws from the pool of "mental energy", but working out draws from the pool of "physical energy". Just because your brain is tired, it doesn't mean that y…

    There exists evidence that dietary cholesterol and the cholesterol in your blood are unrelated. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9143438/

    With just a single frame to go off of, I can't tell. There's not enough information there. edit: I found a video of this event: https://old.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1qjfxbj/…

    Do you have an example of a person following orders and complying while being arrested, but still being brutally beaten and pepper sprayed by ICE?

    When I worked off of 16th street, years ago, many of those homeless people had jobs with the Denver VOICE, selling newspapers. I even bought a few. Are they still around?

    I'm wearing a fitbit (charge 6) now, and I still have this feature. It's called "Smart wake" https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2021/07/09/fitbit-smart-wake...

    74,000 is the approximate number for just 2023. The number was even higher in 2022. It's not "just" 74,000 deaths.

    Thank you! Do you mind if I "friend" you on LinkedIn? I don't use LinkedIn all that much, I'd just like us to be friends in some way.

    I've never met anybody who used neopronouns either, I've only heard about it online. I wonder if there are any long term effects of forcing someone to say something that they consi…

    I don't think that's a fair reading of it. Consider, for example, expanding the definition of sexual harassment to also include creating a "hostile environment". I think that pg's …
