    AFAICT, the majority (60%) of funding for roads doesn't come from direct user charges... Roads are subsidized, free parking (and generally a lot of paid parking) is subsidized, and…

    Vigorous activity is defined as something like > 75-80% max heart rate, or > 6.0 METS, not as an absolute, all out sprint. It's actually quite far from what you expect

    I haven't seen anybody mention NvChad, which is a popular pre-configured neovim setup with lots of documentation (and a community of support). You're still free to customize, but i…

    Huberman's pretty good at taking research he doesn't have the expertise to assess out of context and turning it into some protocol that everyone needs to do. The vast majority of t…

    I think the social ramifications of car dependence are overlooked. US loves its freedom but in many ways cars make people much less free by taking away their free time, money, soci…

    Exactly. Two things: 1. The vast majority of people do not need to worry about nuances of nutrition. Most Americans (90%+) don't even meet physical activity guidelines, for which t…
