Yes, while these motor reflexes are not innate, autonomic responses remain. Search for the "mammalian diving reflex".

You can buy 5-MTHF OTC in the U.S. if you don't feel like consuming a lot of meat.

Stereograms have been used in structural biology publications for many decades now. Google 'stereogram structural biology'

This is a common side effect. Try the extended-release form, i.e. Glucophage XR.

Rarely, there are tours. The dock is on the east side of City Island. Incarcerated NYS/NYC prisoners are conscripted for burial and brush cleanup duty, so you would occasionally see those buses parked at the dock.

This article might be paywalled, but contamination and adulterants are covered, as well as independent lab analysis of some of the products on the market. https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/turmeric-curcumin-supple...

It's been superseded by Mometasone. It's more lipophilic.

Smaller sizes of this pottery are also used to produce fermented hot pepper paste (Gochujang , 고추장). I remember rows and rows of onggi is a corner of my grandparent's farm. It definitely tinged the air with a unique scent.

For a cynical (and, perhaps bitter?) laugh, how about working at an org that has a <= 0 score?

Yeah, well while not bad, I found it to be more of a reference manual.

Guitar-related, Tommaso Zillio (https://www.musictheoryforguitar.com/abouttommasozillio.html) is pretty good for intermediate to advanced topics. I haven't looked at his courses; I use him for more composition ideas.

Signals Music Studio is also thought provoking for ideas (https://signalsmusicstudio.com/) ; check out his incremental approaches to writing with the Locrian mode.

Had to chime in here RE: music. When I encounter people that wish they could play guitar/piano/etc and say "they have no time", but then I find out they play games for hours per day. Well... priorities right? (I hardly play games anymore)

The "Joi" character from Blade Runner 2049 is an implementable reality, today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Blade_Runner_character...

I don't have the alleles, _but_ the test is designed for western Europeans (and specifically shows up often in people from Ireland.) There are some candidate alleles for East Asians, but nothing concrete yet from LabCorp or Quest Diagnostics.

I donate blood using apheresis machines (i.e. the "2x" RBC) when possible, since I need to hoard my plasma for other another health condition.

Mm, never heard of it... let's do some googling with pubmed...

Oh good lord :facepalm: "Stainless steel cookware as a significant source of nickel, chromium, and iron" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1514841/ (1992)

Well, my all-clad cookware _stays_ put regardless.

The C64 soundtrack was amazing, better than the Amiga version, in my opinion. Owned both, of course.

If you're an older adult with high ferritin levels (genetic or oterhwise), you should avoid cast iron. High ferritin has been linked with hepatic injury, cancer, and a other endocrine disorders. See https://irondisorders.org/too-much-iron/

Same here. Having my eyes jump and zigzag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade) is very fatiguing.

I've been programming >40 years now.

Agreed. "Tough" was finding a tech job after '00 dot-com bust or the '08-09 financial crisis.

My understanding is that Southwest was already at or had exceeded V1 speed. Explanation of V1 -> https://www.flyingmag.com/everything-about-v-speeds-explaine...

Never quit a job without something lined up. One of the first things your interviewer will ask is "What happened at the last job?"

"HST-only. 0 day warez"

Same here, I can't bear to part with the Darth Vader of modems.

Too bad that writers and economists don't have concrete skin the game. Maybe some dosh should be put up, or their actual skin as Nasim Taleb wistfully notes (See the story of Sisamnes.)

Agree. North Korea is a shining example of this. They just make sure that they compensate their police and army forces slightly better than the serfs and keep their upper tiers in a state of suspended terror.

+1 to this. Decades ago, my mother complained that her vision was "dim" in one eye. It did turn out to be very bad, terminal news thereafter.

There's a physiology lab that built out machines for negative-only exercise -> https://news.drgator.ufl.edu/2010/02/24/the-negator-muscle-b...

The "negative" or eccentric component's contribution to hypertrophy has been well known since the 80's. I took a look at the linked journal and zeroed in on the cohort.

"A total of 53 (25 male and 28 female) healthy university students ... who ... had not performed a structured resistance training in the past 6 months, participated in the present study." Ok; so, totally untrained/detrained individuals. This lends less credence to the usefulness of this study.

This study doesn't contribute to the advancement of exercise science and ignores neuromuscular adaptations, the stretch-shortening cycle, and/or lactate threshold effects of non-eccentric muscle contractions.

Depending on your sport or personal goals, a mix of different time-under-tension parameters and rest periods will get people closer to their desired health goals. The eccentric phase is just one part of the equation.

Saying this is "all you need to do" is wrong. The curious should examine the syllabus of the NSCA CSCS program.
