@Ma1973sk @LukeGromen 6? lol

Good news, right @LukeGromen ?

@Alan_Couzens From Hildebrand (2014), 400 mg is about 6 METS. Activities > 6 METS: Swimming laps (leisurely pace): 6 Bicycling 12–14 mph (flat terrain): 8 Circuit training (minimal rest): 8 Singles tennis: 8 Shoveling, digging: 8.5 Running (7 mph): 11.5

I'm still seeing a lot of people who don't understand what this paper is saying, so a quick summary... What this paper is not saying: The harder you train, the lower your risk of major disease/death. What this paper is saying: Adding a small amount (~4%) of brisk walking or light jogging to your gardening or vacuuming is better for your health than gardening or vacuuming alone. That's it. In the paper... - The cut-off for "vigorous" activity was a 30s bout of accelerometer data at 400mg. Many will reach this just walking briskly. For some it will take a light jog. - Positive effects for most health problems plateaued at 4-5% of total PA. So it is not saying the more high-intensity intervals you do, the better off you are, it is saying that 10 minutes of brisk walking/d is a good thing to add on top of your gardening. - Importantly, it *might* also be saying that your ability to walk briskly for ~10min/d is protective in itself, as fitness was not measured/controlled for. ####### While the paper certainly doesn't show a link between the intensity of training and health, I've little doubt that there *is* a relationship between the number of idiots that I see on this platform who talk about the paper without understanding the paper and my own health. So, please, if you lack the background to properly understand a paper, don't position yourself as an expert and talk about it as though you do. My health thanks you. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/adva…

@codek_tv Don't be a third derivative of x with respect to t ? I don't get it

Only those who love mathematics can understand this.🤔🤔🤔

@that_foot_is_me @MrGlobal2025 He literally titled it: “You don’t prepare for 200 dollar oil.”

@MrGlobal2025 So you never told us how to prepare. 🤷‍♀️

You don’t prepare for 200 dollar oil.

@MrGlobal2025 I am going to need to see college degrees instead of people sitting in their car

Trump is unilaterally redirecting $1.25 billion in taxpayer money for foreign aid to his personally controlled "Board of Peace." This isn't even a normal U.S. government entity. It's a "public international organization" he created by executive order, naming himself as chairman for life. He gets veto power, picks the members, sets the agenda, & controls how the money flows, with no real oversight or auditing built in. Congress is supposed to control spending & appropriations. They're the ones who can (and should) stop this. If Republicans won't even ask questions about funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into a "board" Trump himself owns for life, I'm seriously done voting for them for a while. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

@faye40k @asanwal And group A did better on details.

@asanwal I don't think we should be making strong statements based on these results.

Great “trick” to get kids to learn Two groups read the same passage. * Group A was told they'd be tested. * Group B was told they'd have to teach it to another student. Nobody actually taught anything. They were just told they’d have to teach. Group B crushed it. Better recall. Better organization. Advantage concentrated on main points. So just believing they'd have to teach changed how they studied. The researchers' line that stuck with me: students have effective study strategies they simply don't use unless prodded to. So our kids already know how to learn well. They just don't do it when they're told to study for a test. The test framing makes them passive. While teaching makes them active. At @ForgePrep, the highest level of mastery students can demonstrate is teaching another students to competence. It’s part of why we have Montessori mixed age classes as this creates more opportunities for this type of teaching

@RnkSt7 @jasonbherman It might be time to have this fight. China isn’t getting weaker.

@jasonbherman embargo of Iranian oil brings China into war

Sketch of a victory: 1) Smother Iranian drone attack on gulf oil & desal w/ukrainian drones 2) Smother Iranian economy with a bloodless oil embargo.

@AAC0519 @LarrySabato lol

@LarrySabato His point holds: Citizens have nothing to fear from ICE.

Frightening that the #2 at Justice didn’t know this—or maybe he did, which is even more frightening.

@Grob2point0 @LarrySabato

@LarrySabato "Federal troops" means military, Larry, not law enforcement. ICE is law enforcement. You are low IQ.

@longhawl @LarrySabato

@LarrySabato ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is not considered federal troops. It is a civilian federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), not part of the U.S. military. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

@LaurenCotugno @LarrySabato

@LarrySabato Maybe he knows something that you don’t. That ICE are not federal troops for instance. Or maybe you do know this and are just spreading misinformation, which is more frightening.

@SR55119 @LarrySabato You think voting is terrorism?

@LarrySabato Try reading the statute. The statute says "unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States," So, its OK if for counterterrorism.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! “This is what a police state does.”

So at this point, the Trump administration is literally just stealing money from American taxpayers.

Donald Trump inherited a solid economy twice and he completely fucked it both times.

BREAKING: Every package that arrives at your front door will soon have an 8% Trump War Tax.

@PoebelVox @Angry_Staffer You probably should have read the article before getting snippy. He was exactly right. The deal represents one of the clearest financial reversals of U.S. offshore wind expansion to date—and a major pivot toward LNG.

@Angry_Staffer It’s a refund of their own money, and is redirected to other energy projects. If you care to know the facts x.com/mikeschuler/st…

One billion to prevent sustainable energy is insane. Not only are we lighting a billion dollars on fire, we are hurting our overall energy production.

This is a lie Trump has been telling for years, not a fact just brought to his attention. Dozens of countries use mail-in voting in some form.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
