@luinalaska A in Airbnb I stayed at had one of these and they were atrocious. Terrible control. Could be a one-off observation but wouldn't risk it.

I desperately want one of these but the word smeg makes me uncomfortable so it’s a hard pass. Smeg? Absolutely not.

@WaffleHouse @ernietedeschi Least likely anyone's ever been to get in a fight

nobody's been this far from a Waffle House before

@houshuang *This guy talks to you at work* then you hear "tell me about Charles V" whispering in your ear

You're walking through the forest, headphones in. Your phone asks: "What do you remember about Frederick II and the papacy?" No hints. Just you and what you actually remember. You start talking. That's how my new app works.

@houshuang *walks past a window* "What do you remember about the defenestration of prague?"

Unfortunately I have become a fan of 🧉

Your bones are shrinking and you're calling it aging. - Walk 7,000–10,000 steps daily. Not occasionally. Not when you feel like it. Every single day. Bone density doesn't negotiate with your schedule. It responds to load or it disappears. Those are the only two options. - Eat calcium-rich foods. Dairy, sardines, tofu, broccoli, almonds. If you don't feed your body calcium consistently, it doesn't politely wait. It dissolves it straight from your bones to keep your heart running. Your skeleton is being cannibalized right now if your diet is poor. - Get your vitamin D levels tested. Not assumed. Tested. You can swallow calcium every day and still be losing bone mass if your vitamin D is deficient. Most people are deficient. Most people also have no idea. That combination is exactly why osteoporosis is an epidemic nobody talks about until someone's hip shatters. - Strength train. Heavy and consistently. Not yoga. Not a walk. Not stretching. Resistance training is the only stimulus that forces your body to build new bone tissue. Without it your bones are on a one way street and it doesn't go somewhere good. - Take collagen seriously. Cartilage has almost no blood supply. That means once it's damaged it barely heals. You are not getting new cartilage. You are managing what you have left. Protect it now or spend the rest of your life managing the loss of it. - Get your weight under control. Every single kilogram of excess body weight puts four times that pressure on your knee joints with every step. Not metaphorically. Mechanically. Your knees are doing the math whether you are or not. - Drink water like your joints depend on it because they literally do. Cartilage is 70% water. Chronic dehydration doesn't just make you tired. It dries out the cushioning between your bones. You are grinding bone on bone in slow motion if you're chronically dehydrated and you won't feel it until it's too late to fully reverse. - Eat anti-inflammatory food. Turmeric, ginger, berries, fatty fish. Chronic inflammation doesn't announce itself. It just quietly destroys tissue day after day while you eat ultra processed food and wonder why your knees ache at 38 and your hands hurt at 45. - Stop sitting for more than 45 minutes without getting up. The human body was not engineered for chairs. Prolonged sitting compresses spinal discs, stiffens cartilage, and shuts down the muscles that protect your joints. The office chair is doing more damage than most people's worst habits and nobody puts a warning label on it. - Stretch for 10 minutes every single day. Not when you're injured. Not when you can't move. Now. Today. Flexibility loss is silent and gradual until one morning you reach for something and something tears and the doctor asks how long it's been this bad and you realize you have no idea. - Take omega-3s daily. Fish oil, fatty fish, flaxseed. Joint inflammation doesn't wait for you to be old. It starts in your 30s and builds quietly. Omega-3s are one of the few things with genuine clinical evidence for reducing joint inflammation and most people aren't getting anywhere near enough.

Just realized that Lyft and Rappi are both moustaches.. is this just a remnant of the hipster era of 2010s or something else?

@Le_Crapaud47 I've never even had a rude encounter in Paris so I don't know why everyone else is having a rough time

Vu que nous pouvons maintenant communiquer avec le monde entier, je tiens à dire à tous les habitants de cette planète que le cliché du Français arrogant et malpoli est faux. Ce sont les Parisiens qui donnent cette image, le reste de la population est plutôt humble et poli. Au passage, quels sont les clichés sur votre pays qui vous agacent le plus ?

you gotta be Wagnermaxxing find an inconsequential subject and make it your irreducible, pure joy - a joy that’s not dependent on anything except showing up, so you can do it your entire life. travel for it, read about it, talk about it, consider its meaning, engage with it over many years and see how your senses may have changed who cares if it’s weird or silly or out of style; love it with the purity that comes with not hustling, not grinding, not monetizing - just pleasure

We may never know who introduced Takuya Nakamura to UK Jungle music, after moving from Tokyo to Boston to study Jazz theory - but I, for one, am very grateful.

Today is the day I thought United would have released that bed thing

@777riis Was he involved in the Kit Kat heist? share.google/bUZKcg1GanB1Zw…

Never lower your standards: this was given by a dude who I met for the first time who KNOWS I don’t wish to date him.

when you think about it, it's wild that X people know how to read this in the correct order

May all beings obey the inscrutable exhortations of their soul. May all beings experience flow. May all beings yearn for the vast and endless sea.

@trenych Would love if you could just stick something in your normal watch band or behind the face

there needs to be a wearable/watch that actually does not look like it tracks anything and can be worn as a designer piece. all the cool functionality (maybe a watch), but you can wear it out and not look ridiculous with an iPad on your wrist.

Taking 15 year-old daughter to Paris next month. Any and all ideas for fun activities (not an art museum kid)...

Please please PLEASE don't let Private Equity get into Anime. We have ONE good thing remaining. PLEASE don't let anime become corporate globoslop. WE'RE BEGGING YOU. Let us have this ONE thing.
