I considered a lung plus but the risk of tripping while running and it hitting my teeth made me buy a mask instead which also covers the nose. Icicles form on that too though.

Maybe when going fast on a bike, they'd cool down faster. I remember from ice skating below 0C that if I didn't wear sports glasses, my eyes would hurt afterwards in the warm dress…

I agree that looks and deskspace is not something to optimize for and number entering is great on the number pad, but the ergonomics expert at my job informed us that shorter hand …

Still, I was surprised when someone told me the rule was "at least two opponent players between you and the goal line" instead of only one. I had never thought of the keeper.

Ha, I learned about no soap on HN some years ago, a HNer claiming their lovers thought the no-soap skin smelled great. I guess it's likely that other bacterial species may thrive o…

There have been some no-soap discussions on HN and I think a user called graeme described something similar, some years ago. I've tried not using shampoo but it was mainly rough an…

Also, if you need to do something (even once) and have to know how you did it three months later, write a script.

Ticks have eight legs and are thus not insects, but more closely related (I think?) to spiders.

Not that my statistics knowledge is great, but I wonder why they don't show fig.4 with SD bars? (Or if the plot represents the model, show the data points the model was fitted to?)…

Exactly. The paper itself concludes somewhat softer that "children may be a potential source of contagion in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in spite of milder disease or lack of symptoms"…

To me this also works the other way around. If am overly critical to others' work, my own work suffers. Only realized this now, thanks.

AFAIK it depends on how long lived the antibody response is. Memory cells can last different amounts of time for different infections, or (like for certain calicivirus infections?)…

I had never heard that about sunlight before, but if true, it seems impractical to roll out ICU beds into the sun. (Not sure if patients outside of hospital would need blood thinni…

Maybe I'm misreading your comment, but the outcome of quarantining measures is not only monetary. If the economy suffers more to solve the current crisis, more people will die beca…

Actually, while indeed heavier, I was surprised that my 2018 13" fit in the sleeve of my older 11" MBA. A bit snug, but the screen width seems to have expanded inside the frame. An…

Maybe I'm mixing my timelines but when was this? I thought the N9 was released a couple of years after the first iphone? Around the time there was iphone4?

Not sure if you're being intentionally ironic about "not a narcissist but perfect" :). I'd echo the rest of your comment with my MD friend's "narcissists can't be treated, they thi…

They possibly undergo some reaction in the reindeer's liver to break them down, before excreting them in urine.

Not that I know much about fasting, but by fasting you mean you skip breakfast, eat healthy and that's it? That sounds like a lot lower hanging fruit than I thought it'd be, thanks…

Although they share origins, Italian calzone is not Swedish kalsonger, Swedish husbonde is not English husband.

Tangentially, I recently learned about the Austrian insult for (northern) Germans "marmeladinger" (marmelade-eater?). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmeladinger

This sounds awesome. I'm held back a bit, I have always been warned against working less than a full workweek, since it would presumely substantially harm my (European) retirement …

Some years ago I read an article through HN by someone who did their programming on an ipad through SSH (and bluetooth mac keyboard) and ditched the laptop. Pictures of croissants …

I dont think an anti to-do list makes me more productive. But I sure like to keep a log of things done in a text file so I can find what I did later. There is of course a limit to …
