I don’t think you can burn calories without oxygen intake directly proportional to the calorie loss, so it’s actually an excellent measure. Is oxygen not what allows us to catalyze the energy in the first place?

My phone notes app is chock full of 3 am genius thoughts that have been dictated sleepily to Siri.

Here, have this one for free:

Is a centaur a better horse archer than a good archer on a good horse?

The Man you’re fighting here is most likely decades of work by acting unions or their equivalent. I agree that I’d like to see the full unobstructed end scenes, but everybody involved in the production earned their place in those credits. It’s there for them, not us.

I don’t know if it’ll work for you, but I often can’t read for long periods anymore either. Audiobooks aren’t enough stimulation on their own, but if I find a combo that uses just enough of my brain, I can make it through quite a bit.

For me personally, I play Mario Kart on a muted TV often while listening to books.

You might ( or might not I don’t know you) be surprised at how well silken tofu works in these sorts of applications. I’ve had some incredible alfredo-style pastas made with it instead of dairy, for instance. And I’m not veg/vegan, it’s just easy and good.

Who would benefit here, big Conch?

Maybe, but that should be due to removal of subsidies and banning of factory farms, not rampant inflation.

I’ve actually tried to live by the opposite. I wouldn’t buy a house with a full bladder, but I think it improves the quality of snap decision making.

A friend and I used to track our Overwatch ranked results based on how badly we needed to pee. It wasn’t very useful data, but it was funny.

I found the puzzles in the older Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games easier when high. Went from trying to make any sense of it to “ok set that one to six and move the knob over by three” and bam. Still don’t know why it worked, but my brain found a pattern.

I guess I’m one of them. I’ve never used LaTeX, but I don’t know how else I’d pronounce that.

I’d never heard of him before the recent Game Changer episode. Now I’m in love

Omelas is one of my favorite Le Guin stories.

Honestly if you don’t have a ton of other options, I don’t hate this. I always wanted to get several super thin flatscreens and set them up playing 24/7 nature livestreams from different sources. It would be like gazing out portals to different parts of nature.

Sure, being out in nature would be better, but it’s better than blank walls and parking lots.

There are a lot of good mobile games these days, but I’ve yet to find one I like that can be played in portrait view. I don’t enjoy holding my phone sideways. If they could figure out how to let me enjoy Balatro or Slay the Spire with one hand, I’m investing.

-Edit So grateful for all the recommendations. Keep them coming!

I’ve been thinking about this recently while playing Hades 2. I bet it’s a memory thing. Much easier to remember your potion recipe if it’s rhymes and has a good meter. “Newt’s eye” works fine in a list, but “Eye of Newt” scans better in a given situation, for example.

My cat’s main redeeming feature is that I can slide my legs under her entirely to readjust positions and sometimes she doesn’t even look at me. Try to touch her, on the other hand, and it’s death.

My dog behaves like the cat in this meme.
