@AnishA_Moonka Choirs at hospital wards now?

Researchers at UC Irvine took saliva samples from a choir before and after performing Beethoven. One antibody, the most abundant in your entire body, spiked 240%. That antibody is called secretory immunoglobulin A. Mouthful of a name, but it does a simple job: it coats your throat, gut, and airways and acts as your body’s first barrier against every cold, flu, and respiratory virus you breathe in. Your body makes more of it than all other antibody types combined. The 2000 study found this antibody rose 150% during rehearsals and 240% during the live performance. A separate 2004 study from the University of Frankfurt tested what happens when choir members just listen to the same music instead of singing it. The antibody barely moved. And their mood actually got worse. Marathon runners show the exact opposite. A study of 98 competitive runners found this same antibody dropped 21 to 31% after the race. 17% came down with colds or throat infections within two weeks. Cross-country runners tracked over a full season saw it fall to 40% of their starting level by November. Running was suppressing the same antibody that singing was tripling. It works through the vagus nerve, the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your brain down through your chest to your gut and controls your “rest and digest” mode. When you sing, your vocal cords physically vibrate against it where it wraps around your voice box. You’re also breathing from deep in your belly with long, slow exhales, which tells your nervous system to calm down. Your stress hormones drop. Your immune system responds. A 2016 study from the Royal College of Music and Imperial College London tested 193 cancer patients and carers across five choirs in South Wales. One hour of group singing lowered cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone) and raised five different immune signaling proteins. The people with the worst depression scores improved the most. You don’t need to be good at it. The boost comes from the physical act, the vibration and the breathing, not the melody. Trained soprano or shower singer, your body responds the same way. One caveat: that 240% number came from a live performance, where adrenaline and emotional intensity were at their peak. Singing along to the radio probably produces a smaller spike. And these are temporary boosts, not permanent changes. But the 193 cancer patients in the 2016 study weren’t performing Beethoven on stage. They were just singing together for an hour in community choirs.

@rats7 This used to be allowed to sell food on their, home baked breads etc.. Perhaps decades ago

might be breaking an NDA by posting this but i got invited to the "ebay kitchen beta" and everyone needs to see this

@writerofscratch Low crime society.. Police are helpful there and tasked with community help style services

Especially bizarre how the police apparently also thinks that playing messenger is part of their job and seemingly never asks "well, have you asked them to be quieter?" before heading out.

My only real "culture shock" with regards to Japan is the way people here will call the police to make a noise complaint instead of just, y'know, ringing the doorbell and asking for things to be a bit quieter.

@frenbilt 😂😂😂

WOW: TRUMP REVOKES 200,000 INDIAN CDLS WITH THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA ON THE PHONE

@hlthymthrheifer @TheWarKitchen Add lime juice

@TheWarKitchen Ain’t that the truth. Haven’t been able to get behind papayas yet.

From a pure taste perspective, the papaya is simply a worse mango... What's your favorite fruit?

@TheWarKitchen Add lime juice to papaya, it's amazing

@KobeissiLetter Green revolution miracle, the global warming will end soon @RenewablesNews

BREAKING: The IEA has issued a warning stating that the Iran War is the greatest threat to global energy "in history." Details include: 1. The IEA says it could take 6 months or longer to fully restore oil and gas flows from the Gulf 2. Roughly 18 million barrels of daily crude oil supply remain offline 3. Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines are not operational adding further pressure 4. There is currently "no immediate way" to replace the supply of oil from the Gulf Today concludes week 3 of the Iran War.

@Hoopss Darth Vader revenge arc incoming

After dropping 60, Luka Doncic sits in silence, no celebration, no smile. It all fades fast, and he probably realizes that at the end of the day it’s just basketball… there’s still no one waiting for him at home, and he still misses his kids. 💔

@spheno_xiphoid Regular back massage, mulitples times a month truly helped me

Most people today are living with chronically tight trapezius muscles. There is no stretch or massage that can fix this. This is because the traps are involved in breathing, gait, and will respond to stress from the external and internal environment. In my new article I dive into the intricacies of this often overlooked muscle and what can be done to improve its function and as a result, your life.

@juliadziesinska Going to local markets in SE Asia.. I get two tote bags of produce and fruits that are as heavy as I can carry.. For $10-15

this is what $69 of groceries look like in thailand btw

Humans were never meant to live in Phoenix and it's an abomination that we built a city in that hellfire

@BitcoinSapiens What's normal is staring at a field while hungry.. Office culture is a vast improvement for our livelihood

People work 8–10 hours a day, 5 days a week for someone else’s profit. Then they spend 4 hours at night staring at screens. Basically, living for weekends + 4 weeks PTO on repeat until age 65. While the government takes 25–30% their income. And we’re told this is “normal.”

These drills made me who I am today

@simongerman600 Neat, similar to what ESRI does but not quite as accurate nor up to date

This fun interactive tool allows you to draw circles anywhere in the world to see how many people are around you. A 3km circle around my home in Melbourne shows that I have almost 84,000 people nearby I can annoy in person with my maps! Play with the tool here: tomforth.co.uk/circlepopulati…

@bigdog0668 @TheRaysin Not pitchers

@TheRaysin Have you never seen an MLB schedule? All they do is play back-to-back games!

I feel like this WBC scheduling is a little crazy by making one of the semi winners have to play back to back games which automatically puts their bullpen at a disadvantage lol

Apple spent a decade gluing batteries into $2,499 MacBook Pros. Then it shipped a $599 laptop you can take apart in six minutes. The MacBook Neo teardown numbers are wild. Eight screws to open. Eighteen screws hold the battery, zero glue, zero tape. The USB-C ports, speakers, and headphone jack are all modular, meaning each one swaps individually. The speakers come out with four screws. An Australian repair channel disassembled most of the machine in under six minutes using standard Torx bits you can buy at any hardware store. For context, the 2019 MacBook Pro scored 2 out of 10 on iFixit’s repairability scale. The 16-inch Pro got a 1 out of 10. Soldered RAM, soldered storage, glued battery, proprietary pentalobe screws, keyboard riveted to the top case. Apple’s own Self Service Repair program required you to rent a 79-pound repair kit shipped in two Pelican cases just to swap a battery. The timing explains everything. The EU Right to Repair Directive takes effect July 31, 2026. Member states are transposing it into national law right now. Manufacturers must offer repair beyond warranty, provide spare parts within 5 to 10 working days for seven years, and publish repair manuals. In the US, over a quarter of Americans already live in states with enforceable Right to Repair laws. Oregon banned parts pairing. California’s act is in effect. Apple read the regulatory calendar and realized the cheapest laptop in the lineup would face the most scrutiny. Millions of students and first-time buyers will own it. The volume will be enormous. And regulators love consumer-protection cases involving the most affordable products in a company’s portfolio. So they built the Neo as the compliance flagship. Standard screws, modular ports, no adhesive, a battery that lifts out. Meanwhile the $1,099 MacBook Air still has soldered storage and a riveted keyboard. The $2,499 Pro still scores poorly on independent repairability scales. The $599 laptop is the most repairable MacBook in over a decade. Apple always knew how to build a repairable laptop. They just needed a reason that showed up on a regulatory deadline.

@ReichlinMelnick U jackass, The government is not a profiteering enterprise

An absolutely incredible statistic; Trump's $100,000 H-1B fee has actually lost the U.S. government $19.5 million in application fees.
