You should show your workers this fine example of food service. Plattsburgh, NY chipotle’s for lunch the win…..says no one

@ChipotleTweets thanks for nothing. Nothing like getting home from a long day to find your tacos packaged like this. Your company is garbage

@Rainmaker1973 I’m an amputee, when I had my leg removed I used a mirror to establish new nerve endings in my stump and limit phantom pain. Same theory, incredibly helpful. youtu.be/6Vkb2iz5Ue0

Pain isn’t where your body is hurt, it’s where your brain thinks it is. The famous rubber hand experiment tricks your brain and it was originally reported by Botvinick and Cohen in 1998.

@TPUSA @brantleygilbert Beautiful, god bless!!

Welcome to the Land of the Free 🦅 @brantleygilbert

The wait is nearly over! The Cartoonville themed 2026 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Ice Palace is nearing completion, these photos were taken today, it has really taken shape this week! As always the palace is free and open to the public beginning Saturday. #saranaclak

it’s among the oldest winter carnivals on this side of world. I’m here in the Adirondacks today for my annual peek at the AMAZING work the dozens of volunteers who comprise IPW 101–Ice Palace Workers 101–a union made up of hearty souls braving the bitter cold to create the 2

Snowy Morning at the Saranac Lake Ice Palace: 3500 ice blocks used to build this year’s Ice Palace in the Adirondacks. Music legends is the theme. Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, among oldest is USA, begins Friday. @spann @wxbywilliams @JimCantore @StephanieAbrams @ReedTimmerUSA

Thank you for posting about the palace! I am one of the IPW 101 ice carvers, it was a fantastic year for ice! We started with blocks roughly 15” thick and ended the build with 20+” blocks, weighing nearly 700 Lbs. check out the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Facebook page and website for more info, cool videos of this years build and current events!!

@nancycartwright @MattGroening4 Saranac Lake Winter carnival. We carved the family in ice from the lake! saranaclakewintercarnival.com Every year a community of volunteers gather together to build an ice palace with blocks harvested from the Lake. This years theme is cartoonival and we made the couch and family for the king and queens throne!

Nowhere does winter quite like Saranac Lake, New York 🏰 📸 @rambleswithrachel 📸 @wandercuse 📸 @markandersoncaptures 📸 @nana_who_lifts

@Rainmaker1973 What if you’re a foot short?

Sticking one foot (or leg) outside the blankets really does help you fall asleep faster—and science explains exactly why. Your feet act as built-in radiators, playing a surprisingly powerful role in regulating body temperature to trigger sleep. Falling asleep isn’t purely a mental state; it’s tightly linked to a drop in core body temperature, a key biological signal that tells the brain it’s time to rest. Research, including work from Northumbria University’s sleep and thermoregulation studies, shows that this natural cooling is essential for initiating sleep onset. Heavy blankets can trap heat and slow this process, delaying the moment your body reaches the optimal temperature window for drifting off. By letting one foot or leg hang out from under the covers, you create a simple but effective heat-loss pathway. The human foot is exceptionally well-equipped for this: it contains a high density of arteriovenous anastomoses (specialized blood vessels) that allow rapid heat exchange with the cooler room air. When exposed, these vessels dilate, cool the blood quickly, and circulate that cooler blood throughout the body—lowering core temperature faster and more efficiently than keeping everything covered. This trick is especially helpful for people who: - struggle with insomnia, - tend to overheat at night (“hot sleepers”), - or simply want to fall asleep more quickly without medication or complicated routines. The effect is natural, free, and non-invasive—just a small adjustment in how you position yourself under the blankets can accelerate sleep onset and improve overall sleep quality. So next time you’re tossing and turning, try letting one foot peek out. Your body’s own cooling system might be the fastest way to reach dreamland.
