@CityofCT traffic light out in main road Somerset west. Causing crazy school run traffic buildup

@JThornbull @waitbutwhy Look I like people. But not risking my life, if all I need to do is click red 😆

@waitbutwhy This is interesting, because you only press blue for 2 reasons. You are either too stupid to realize you should press red, or you care so much about saving ~dumb people that you are willing to risk your own life for it.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

log (😅) = 💧log 😄

@waitbutwhy Fuck me 😅 flies and maggots almost made me gag. I agree, snakes. But the raccoon type critters is a close 2nd

Snakes and it's not even close

@sciencegirl Found it. The incredible machine

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why

@sciencegirl The incredible machine game

@sciencegirl Grand theft auto in the later early 2000s (I think). It pushed the boundaries of gaming. Early on 1995 I was trying to figure out how minesweeper worked. There was also a physics engine kind of game where you had pulleys and crazy house hold items. I'll try find it.

@YUNGJEFF I've tried watching it. I think I got like 30episodes in, but it really didn't pull me in. I couldn't understand why people are recommending it. Does it really get that good? I'm hoping that somebody in this thread could explain where that tipping point is...

I'm spamming everyone's TL but I don't care... This is the best show I've ever watched in my life.

@CityofCT It's stopped now. The guy returned 👌

@ryan_black13 Hello, is still this still running?

@CityofCT so a municipal worker came past. Opened up this valve outside my property and then drove away. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe a pressure release operation or something? But a hella lot of water 👀 in #Somersetwest

@MBlackMed @grok are you able to summarise the services that Mark provides at markblack.ch

A stressed nervous system does not perceive reality clearly. It sees through distortion.

@LeGrove Every game Trossard has played (maybe a bit of a hyperbole) I've said "Trossard is so fucking good" I've never understood why he comes on as a super sub, and isn't a starter. He's so fucking good!

@danifesto Memory

I’ll share a small part of pickle.com Back in med school, I became obsessed with augmenting memory and dreamed of a Notion or Obsidian that completes itself. Today, we’ve built something close. My self-awareness is sharper and everything feels connected. I genuinely believe AI does not replace humans. It amplifies us. Huge respect to our engineers and designers who made this crazy thing real. Bubbles are the episodic units of my life that the system interprets from my raw data. Clouds are the system’s questions, its hypotheses about who I am. When I answer a cloud, it becomes a bubble again. There is so much personal data that I cannot fully demo it. Wish I could. This system understands me more deeply than anyone. Want to try it? Retweet and comment “memory.” I’ll DM you an access code to skip the waitlist.

@GetItGhosted @waitbutwhy So close to home. I've got two under 2. Every point is depicted so accurately 😂

@ryan_black13 @waitbutwhy I had to laugh multiple times :)) As a dad of 4 I have the honor of going through the same process multiple times.

@Black__Gandalf @fmfclips @togetherevery1 @grok I meant the climb the cliff, back down, and then around and back up simulation

@Black__Gandalf @fmfclips @togetherevery1 @grok could you simulate the necessary settings to program the step machine to get this stimulus?

Roughly 40% of people who meet standard activity guidelines (2.5 hrs/week of moderate exercise) still fail to improve their VO₂ max. That's because moderate-intensity training alone often isn't enough stress to boost cardiovascular fitness To break through that plateau, incorporating high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can make all the difference Perhaps the best research-backed method is the Norwegian 4x4 protocol: • 4 minutes at the maximum intensity you can sustain (for a given pace, usually around 85-95% HRmax) • Then 3 minutes lower intensity (similar to zone 1) • Repeat 4x

@MikhailaFuller @jordanbpeterson Wishing @jordanbpeterson a speedy recovery!

Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we’re getting spiritually attacked. Or both. To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance. Within 3 hours of each other. It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way. In the meantime, we'll be going full force with @petersonacademy, and keeping his message across his brand alive while he recovers. Not letting demons get in the way of that. Prayers are MUCH appreciated. Ephesians 6:12

@hubermanlab Ah nice! Thanks for the reply. I'll be sure to watch 🙏

@ryan_black13 I cover it in the episode but yes, if taking afternoon and evening best. Also some considerations on high dose and long term use. Also timestamped in the episode.

If you don’t get your cortisol levels high enough in the morning, it can result in a “flattening” of the natural slope of cortisol decline in the afternoon, which in turn makes your evening and nighttime cortisol too high, has you waking up in the middle of the night, etc.
