I don't know enough about the science stuff to substantiate everything on the list, but no matter... The better sleep, mental health, and motivation to make better eating choices have been very real, and are more than enough to keep me going.

@george-k said in New House Rules: it's not a "bill" and therefore doesn't have the power of law. Right, I knew that but was too lazy to be more precise.

@klaus of course! I'd forgotten about those!

Deutscher has been on my radar for a couple of years already. I wonder how she develops. She was impressive as a child prodigy, but now she needs to show that she can go beyond that. There is of course nothing wrong with great melodies, but, even if this is obviously extremely impressive for a child, the music sounds rather derivative. The Adés concerto is not my cup of tea.

@jon-nyc said in NYT creates re-enactment of Breanna Taylor Shooting: As I said next door, how any jurisdiction could think that it is a good idea to have both no-knock raids and a castle doctrine is beyond me. Tis a puzzlement.

Nice sandals.

I forgot that modern browsers tend to store cached pages in some kind of database, with some encoding of the data going on, hence you can't just grep through the files. Rather, one would have to read them via an utility such as this one.

One fav way we cook salmon is to sandwich two fillets with skin on; put a little salt, pepper, slived shallots, lemon slices, and white wine between them; tie with roasting string; and bake. Sandwiching keeps it very moist. MS likes her salmon cooked through, I like mine fleshy and a wee bit rare.

Wow nice mark!

"Don't 'Sun-Starve' your baby!" All righty then...

Actually if they want to immediately improve their search engine rankings, they should change their name to Ducking

@bachophile said in Is this like "A bit of pregnancy?": Problem meant to write event. But arrest passed the spell checker. Or else just a moron Or "heart attack."

@george-k Interesting. That’s much simpler that the photograph I saw of him with camera equipment.

@kluurs said in Scary COVID story: Couple did everything right. Person doing haircut was COVID tested and kept window open while doing haircut - and still... Story They thought they did everything right. The beautician was in the the pre-symptomatic stage and already shedding virus. The test (most likely rapid)was most likely negative due to one of two factors: Not enough antigen to be detected at the time of testing. Or... Poor sampling technique. Just because somebody collects and runs a test, doesn't mean they do a decent job. COVID requires a deep nasal swab. If you don't go far enough, you get a lousy specinen and you can get false negatives.
