Bought a fancy end-of-bed fan before the London heatwave began and - honestly - this is the single greatest purchase of my life

@RossCameron4 Someone voted for the communists and a surprised they stole his money

"The Capital Gains Tax…if I had known they were going to do that, I wouldn’t have voted for them. I voted for Albo and Chalmers. They didn’t have a mandate for changing Capital Gains Tax. It’s now the highest in the world. No-one is going to want to invest in Australia. What the fuck are you doing?" @DHughesy

@popdreas @quinnslcm I was so disappointed with screen damage on my old MacBook that sinceI bought my new M5 with nano display, I’ve been meticulous keeping it clean &only using the special cloth even after 2months the keys are damaging the screen. It is so disappointing

@quinnslcm I was a certified technician for apple years ago and I’ll just say that cloth is a big no. Just no. The reason why the screen gets keyboard prints its because the coating gets ruined by harsh soaps etc and closing the lid before its fully dry

Guys, I just found a product that stops your MacBook screen from getting keyboard prints when you close it

@the_no_mind @living_energy Wow, one of the best Circadian biology threads I have read in a long time.

This is Dr. Alexander Wunsch. A German physician and photobiology researcher who has studied light's effects on health for 30+ years. His message? Both the mainstream & the biohackers are wrong about sunlight. Here is his framework: 🧵

@hjluks Oh wow, tell us more about what happened in rural Colorado!

What’s Behind the Trees I run local trails and dirt paths to explore. I don’t hit a pace target at my age anymore…not that there’s anything wrong with that. Remember. I’m training for life. But I love to explore new areas. I leave time to get lost and to find out what’s actually out there. The result has been a strange and consistent surprise — some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen are actually within a few miles of my house. Quiet creek crossings, ridgelines with views, and an amazing dam and waterfall (see below) I didn’t know existed. There’s a road I travel often only 100’ from the dam, yet you can’t see it and I’d driven past it for years without ever knowing what sat behind the trees. Although… my propensity to get lost on trails did get me in trouble in Costa Rica 😮‍💨…. And almost shot in rural Colorado. 😫 I would never have found any of it from the road. I found it because I was moving slowly enough to notice and far enough from any trailhead to be somewhere many people don’t go. There’s a lesson in this that applies well beyond running. The interesting stuff is almost never on the main path. It’s a quarter mile off the obvious route, down a trail nobody told you about. You have to be willing to be a little lost, a little uncertain about where the loop closes, a little later getting home than you planned. Endurance training gives you the engine to do that. An hour or two of easy aerobic work isn’t a sacrifice… it’s the mechanism... It’s what lets you wander far enough from the car to find the place worth finding. Go explore where you live (Except for a certain trail in Costa Rica and some rural roads in Colorado). You don’t know it as well as you think you do.

@zaidkdahhaj That is a master class! Your stuff keeps going deeper and getting better

@chris88brown @bryan_johnson Why not tell us all?

I started milking my eyelids. Here's the situation. My eyes have been dry/irritated/red for the past year or so. I started using eye drops to moisten and it didn't make a difference. So I went to see an eye doctor. The source of the problem is that my meibomian glands, the tiny oil glands lining the eyelids, were clogged up. Without the meibum they secrete, the tear film on my eye evaporates in seconds which is bad for eye health. We're not sure of the cause of the dysregulation. We have few theories that we're looking into. Taking a closer look with infrared meibography, the imagery showed that my meibomian glands were congested, distorted, and partially dropped out. This is bad news because atrophied glands don't regrow! It's situations like this that makes me wonder why we do not have a better operating manual for the human body. How could I have prevented this from happening and why didn't I catch this sooner!? I did additional tests to assess the damage and my situation now. The Schirmer test (paper strip measuring tear wetting over 5 minutes) came back at 6 and 6.5 mm. A borderline reading consistent with mild dry eye. A healthy reading is typically 15 mm or above. Here's what I'm doing now to try and nurture my remaining glands back to good health: 1) Forma RF, Radiofrequency (microwave) heat applied from outside the lid, melting the obstruction. 2) LipiFlow, a device that sandwiches each eyelid: heat from the inside, pulsed pressure from the outside, squeezing the obstruction out. 12 minutes, both eyes. 3) Both capped at 41°C, not the standard 42°C, to spare eyelid collagen and elastin. No thinning skin, no premature sagging. 4) IPL around the eyes that shut down the abnormal blood vessels feeding chronic lid inflammation, the engine of MGD. 5) Manual gland milking, the doctor squeezes the lid margin between two instruments, forcing the plugs out. Hard, pasty secretions came out initially. The second and third mechanical milking the glands are returning to a normal, expected oily state. 6) Daily upkeep includes warm compresses, lid hygiene, omega-3 to keep secretions thin and glands moving. My next check in is 3 weeks form now. My doctor mentioned that meibomian gland dysfunction in her patients has increased since Covid, likely driven by the rise in screen time. When staring at screens for long stretches, people blink less frequently and less completely. Normal blink rate is roughly 15-20 times per minute but drops significantly during screen use. Incomplete blinks mean the meibomian glands don't get fully expressed, which over time contributes to gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye. It's worth you getting checked for this and a good practice generally to make sure your eyes are in good health.

@plebcapital What a clown. Wouldn’t trust a word he says

@biohackingdad Wow man, so well written. I really think your story will inspire and help other people.

@RogerSeheult @hubermanlab You got twice as many likes as Nature !

The is one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world now acknowledging the benefits of long wavelength light (red or infrared light) therapy and the fact that we are indoors more now than ever before. For those that have had to endure scorn from fellow clinicians when talking about the benefits, this is validation. For those who still think this is woo woo, open a journal and your mind and realize that the world is passing you by. This is now the science!

@onescottwilson The Ironing though is a big hassle

Linen is the greatest clothing fabric ever made. - Lasts decades with proper care - Softens with every wear - Ages beautifully, never loses strength - Breathable & comfortable - Moisture wicking & antibacterial - Thermoregulating - Timeless style, looks good in any setting Everyone should own pure linen clothing.

@helios_brah That is awesome!

@mackinprof @KCKlatt @cremieuxrecueil The whole point is that for busy people on the go sometimes it’s not possible to have a steak and for a plane trip for example, this is a very reasonable option. Certainly better than your virtue signaling stupid pronouns.

@KCKlatt @cremieuxrecueil Honestly, the big take is that the big contribution from these longevity seers is a protein bar... seriously... Attia and David and now this? That's what we need, another contrived protein bar? As if there is some magic ingredient in these things that going to light it up? 😂

The carnivore-not carnivore raw milk guy and the wellness protein bar industry are yet again scamming you. Apart from the clickbait of grass-fed and beef tallow, and pretending added sugars in the form of coconut nectar and honey is uniquely good for you... this bar shouldn't really be counted as 20g of protein. The tip off is 20g from a blend that is whey and collagen. Collagen is a poor quality protein, with a protein score of zero. They don't disclose how much protein is in the formulation from collagen but we can derive it using the daily value, which has to be corrected for protein quality. The %DV is derived using 50g per day of protein as the goal, meaning .24*50= 12g quality protein. That's the ~amount of protein in 1/2c of greek yogurt or a Rx bar. Except these bars are 5.75$ each

@paulsaladinomd @eatlineage Would be awesome if they could be sold in Australian supermarkets. keep up the great work Paul. ignore the negative losers

We just cooked the protein bar industry. 🔥 Most are candy bars in disguise: seed oils, gums, fake sweeteners, sugar. Not @eatlineage. New Protein Bar: <200 cal 20g grass-fed whey + collagen 100% real food—no BS Tastes incredible 🍫 Who's in?

@roguewealth @moflod Why not, what am I missing out on. It’s so easy and the price is just right :)

@moflod Not really imo.

A great password manager solves so many issues in the modern world it’s easy for me to justify paying for it. I even track my ssh keys with it.

@moveorperish I used to love doing that but now have a partial medial meniscus root tear and get bad pain in deep flexion. I miss it. It’s been a year now and not getting better but can walk without pain so am reluctant to have surgery

@HowThingsWork_ Why then does it die after falling in the pool for 2 seconds and then Apple Store say there is water damage and we don’t cover misuse !

This is how Apple tested the iPhone 17e's durability with industrial water jets and robot arms

@travisk Who was the evil investor who forced you out and took advantage of your situation?

@AdamPrihoda @FrankiePu1itzer @ChrisMasterjohn Yes, they added green for exercise workout heart rate but obviously when sleeping the person should be very still so red /IR should be fine. I would gladly go back to the invisible lights if I could, even if it meant sacrificing exercise HR measurements

@m366378 @FrankiePu1itzer @ChrisMasterjohn Red and IR performance is subpar to green in pcg

What on earth is wrong with the designers of Oura putting green lights into the ring after version 2? It’s supposed to help you sleep, so they make it blast you with anti-sleep green light?

@zaidkdahhaj Ok cool, you are such a genius with the light data, I would love to see you get into EMF. I agree the EMF from the Bluetooth in the Oura ring is tiny, but I still put it in airplane mode :)

@m366378 Don’t conflate this post with being dismissive of nnEMF. I’m well aware of the field and understand that it’s very important

This is one thing I have zero care for considering I’ve been an Oura ring user for the past 7+ years My sleep quality is incredible I’m dialed on the circadian front and have a number of habits in place to create a better electromagnetic environment It ain’t zero nnEMF, but it should not make a difference in your quality of life. If it does, you have bigger things to focus on
