The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

@Lpa_Doc And also, inflammation of what, exactly? What about the case of high Lp(a) and low (or v. low) CRP?

@devildog950003 @bigheadhcky How old are you? Goalies certainly wore masks in the 80s.

@bigheadhcky Goalies also didn't wear masks

@Aviation_Intel 'should have...'

Should of published my 2/3rds finished deep dive into how drones could be shot down over the U.S. safely... Should I finish it and let her rip? I have so many of these it is depressing.

@ALawRadio Huntington Ravine trail?

Bucket list day!! We made it to base camp. Time to hike the incredible Mt. Washington, woooooo!🧡🤩 Pictures from the summit to follow. Amy Xo

@Drlipid Raising awareness is great. Keep it up. But what then? What do you recommend following testing? There is no treatment (outside a few drugs in trials). By all means lower LDL, but given that you emphasize Lp(a) as an independent risk factor...what?

Rather sad how far behind so many primary care and even cardiologists are behind with lipid education. Patients must be their own advocates and DEMAN these tests

@DrMarthaGulati But, what is the endpoint here? OK, you learn a number, but if it’s high (or very high)—what then? There is no treatment, or am I missing something?

Checking Lp(a) and preventive focus is cost effective #EASCongress2025 #EAS2025

#EASCongress2025 #EAS2025 Economic modeling of testing Lp(a) taking into account direct healthcare cost but also societal perspective (indirect costs) Preventive case with ⬆️ Lp(a) was cost effective

@dador92 @TheEconomist Graph is basically in %, i.e. dimensionless. No inflation adjustment required.

@TheEconomist First, this graph is not adjusted for inflation. Second, the Biden administration set a record for deficit spending for the start of the government’s fiscal year. It will take some time to turn it all around.

From the stockmarket and inflation to consumer prices and wages, ten economic indicators reveal how America is doing after two months of Trumponomics: econ.st/4iANL97

@Astro_Jonny OK, so that's what it is in megatons, and Hiroshimas. What is it in terms of Krakatoas or Mt. Pinatubos?

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting out planet in 2032 is now 1.5%, or 1 in 67. The OVERWHELMING likelihood is that the asteroid will miss Earth. But for the first time ever, we might have to seriously consider a deflection mission soon. Let me explain. 🧵 (1/x)

@Sovereign_Beast Regardless of your views on cursive, please address the formal rules covering ‘Q’ (i.e.—upper case Q)

it's kind of funny how 'the scrawling mode of writing created because you shouldn't pick a quill pen up from paper more than you absolutely have to' has been lionized as an important skill long after those quill pens have gone the way of the dodo

@helloiampoppy @Sovereign_Beast Wow…so much departure here. Just noting that the ‘b’ in your sample departs wildly from what the Palmer method teaches. In particular, ‘b’ in that standard does not have a loop.

@ajmoyer90 @Sovereign_Beast the elephant in the room here—is the actual purpose to maintain a link with documents over time, or to optimize the mind/paper link? if the latter, why not teach shorthand?

I'm particularly fond of how cursive is conducive towards establishing a flowing state of creative consciousness. When I am journaling or free writing the beauty of the script, the practice of skill in forming it consitently at a decent pace, and the induced state of mind, are all rewards enough in themselves to justify using it imho. As it's taught in American public school is complete garbage though, caught up in asinine rigid formalism instead of the pure expressive joy inherent in the spirit of it.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 26 Mar 2007 (via @twi_age).

@tosinCanada @CMichaelGibson Let me throw mine into the hopper—540 nmol/L. And to someone else’s point, the totality of the treatment was the test itself. I happened to know that I well tolerate niacin, so I take that (along with rosuvastatin and ezetimibe).

@CMichaelGibson Curious Question! Do you mind sharing your Lp (a) numbers?

Did you know that 20% of Americans have a genetic risk factor for heart disease that is not modified by diet or exercise? It's called Lp(a). I have a family history and mine is elevated. You should consider getting yours checked too. #LpaAwarenessDay

@TheGregHillShow Don’t forget that the Packers replaced Vince Lombardi with Phil Bengston. Lombardi went to the Redskins, where he was 7-5-2.

Have you lost faith in Bill Belichick's ability to win another Super Bowl with the Patriots?

Of all companies, @WSJ embraces the shoddy business practice of “you must call a human on the telephone to cancel a subscription.” Really? I would have expected better. Do such user-hostile practices really help the bottom line? At what cost in goodwill?

@EconTalker Would you say that all books in this category are non-fiction? If not, what proportion?

It is not enough to know something. You also have to be able to access it or at least have it come to mind when it is time to use that knowledge. Books that help us remember truths or prompt us to use those truths are underrated.

@GettyMuseum Sting Fields of Gold

If these musicians time-traveled to 2022, what song would you ask them to play?

@NPRinskeep @wayword I have only ever heard the third (clan-DES-tin). And I have lived in a variety of places (in US), got a variety of degrees…and listen to NPR!

Just corrected a bit of the program for pronunciation: the word clandestine. On the air, I said it two ways: "CLAN-duh-stine," then "CLAN-duh-steen." Then was informed of a network preference for a third way, clan-DES-tin. Like destiny.
