@wil_da_beast630 does that include non-profits that rely on federal grants?

Statistic I did not believe, am still vet-ing, but which basically seems to be true: about half of all employed women, including 65% of Black women, work for some level of government.

@EmilybyNight The new coffee washes it

how many days can I drink black coffee from the same mug without washing it, asking for a friend

@Shnaps @Noahpinion That's a good description. Thanks

@Brontego @Noahpinion It failed in persuading racist assholes to be less racist assholes

The only three things Dems need to move to the center on are: 1. DEI (it failed, time to go back to just not being racist) 2. Policing (it reduces crime by a lot, just go back to reasonable police reform) 3. Asylum (yes, illegally crossing the border to request asylum is bad)

@visakanv Incredibly optimistic, tho I am wary of the ides

@RealRossU @realDonaldTrump

I got to see the ocean for the first time in over 11 years because @realDonaldTrump released me from prison. On this President's Day, I would like to acknowledge a truly great American President, one who cares about freedom and second chances. Here's to you President Trump.

It was a mistake to watch this again dailymotion.com/video/x1kkig

Man Final Fantasy X really was a special game Came out before linear, story-driven "cinematic experiences" had prescribed types to them, so it got to go nuts with the concept, unimpeded by expectation

@visakanv Doing some chores or exercise first. Company preferably with the people you did chores or exercised with.

what are the elements of a great breakfast? what makes it good? what are the principles

@bryan_johnson How do you like to eat them?

Why I consume extra virgin olive oil and macadamia nuts: they function as natural Ozempic. Mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are abundant in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), macadamia nuts, and avocados. High intake of mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) is associated with a 6% reduction in all cause mortality risk, compared to an 8% increase for high intake of saturated fats. Replacing saturated fats (5% of total calorie intake) with MUFAs was associated with a 15%, 10%, and 11% decrease in all-cause, heart disease, and cancer mortality risk. MUFAs including oleic acid in olive oil and palmitoleic acid in macadamia nuts, have plenty of observational and interventional clinical evidence supporting their roles in promoting longevity and preventing age-related diseases. A landmark interventional trial showed that regular consumption of MUFAs with a mediterranean diet lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease by 31% or 28%, for extra virgin olive oil (containing MUFAs as oleic acid) and  Nuts (Mix of MUFAs and PUFAs), respectively. Macadamia nuts and extra virgin olive oil are both longevity nutrients that mitigate the risk factors and lower the risk of multiple age related diseases, they also function as natural Ozempic to help maintaining optimal weight and metabolism.

@SteveStuWill How do we explain the behavior in the video then? It seems like it did happen there

Links to the above research and lots of other interesting papers and articles here: stevestewartwilliams.com/p/swearing-as-…

If you’re a psychology fan, you’ve almost certainly seen this viral video on inequity aversion in capuchin monkeys. Watch what happens - or seems to happen - when two monkeys are offered unequal pay for the same task… [Thread.]

@goblinodds do you find it’s more like: ‘your demo is trash but you’re one of the good ones,’ or ‘your political party is trash’ (without even knowing it’s yours), or just wildly simplistic and concerning takes on societal systems like capitalism/communism? or is it something else entirely?

really dont want to focus on negatives but man it's so frustrating to have like broadly fun social interactions w good people who have to shoehorn hostile-to-me tribal signaling into every topic kinda sours the whole thing

@EconTalker Hey Russ, I've been a fan for nearly a decade so I've probably heard them already, but I could use a refresher. What are your favorite podcast episodes on the problems with the health care industry and health insurance etc?

The idea that the US health care system is free market or an indictment of the private sector is ludicrous when only 11 cents of every dollar of health care expenditure is out of pocket. It was 33 cents in 1970. It’s a government system with perverse profits for certain players. #Total%20national%20health%20expenditures,%20by%20source%20of%20funds,%201970%20and%202022" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collecti…

@cremieuxrecueil @JKLund_Official have you written on this?

@JKLund_Official 💯 If anything, health insurers are a sort of maligned victim on net.

The hatred for health insurers is insane. They do so much good for the world. In this house, health insurers are heroes.

bridge building preceded the scientific revolution and will follow it, and not everything using math deserves to have its valor stolen by an abstract noun whose adherents believe with perfect faith, that the math describes everything, just one more math, one more math bro-- /fin

thoughts on scientific method: feyerabend is right, and there is no scientific method. that is, historically, there is no particular intellectual approach or order of operations that produces "science." "science" is produced in the same way as all other human thought.

@sympatheticopp it might be about differences in communication styles. deborah tannen’s you just don’t understand! argues that women emphasize connection and equality in conversation, while men tend to assume hierarchy

why are women, somewhat more than men, such tall poppy snippers

@visakanv @nosilverv Huh. What would writing a book look like for someone who doesn't really write? I'm interested

@nosilverv I similarly recommend that everyone who *really* enjoys reading books should try writing a book even if only so they appreciate books even more

I had to learn how to play soccer to be able to appreciate Ronaldinho but once I did it is just a sublime experience. I am sure that the same is true for math: once I can unlock it it'll give me a ton of sublime experiences in dazzling at other's moves. Can't wait.
