    I guess we can start thanking people posting photographs of their food on social media. There you probably still have higher probability of seeing photographs of real food as served rather than fake food as photographed by professional photographers.

    The bigger the following, the less that's true.

    Please love yourself.

        Listen with sound on and imagine you were driving on the bridge and heard that.

            @jon-nyc that's mildly interesting. Its orbital period is 249.94 earth-years.

                  @jon-nyc I could've used something like that when I was working.

                  Our place, for a while, used a hand-scanner that detected the veins for the purpose of ID.

                        Yeah I could hear whichever I decided. Though sometimes it would take a couple of efforts to ‘switch’.

                          @jon-nyc I want to know the frequency range and noise profile for this; like what frequencies they need to filter out, then what noise they need to mix in, to get that resulting sound clip.

                            @jon-nyc at the end, I heard half one, half the other, and it was difficult to get them separated. (I quit looking at the words)

                              Old story, but there is a world record for the 100 m while running on all four limbs.

                              100m world record for 4 limbs

                              Was reading an article where someone said that it would be possible that by 2050 or so, someone could set a world record for the 100 m by using 4 limbs instead of 2 limbs. Much more efficient to do so.

                              (I lost the article so will see if I can find it again)

                                That's cool. Certainly there is plenty of precedent for people figuring out new ways of engaging in sporting events. Basketball shots have changed drastically in their form over the years, then there's the Foosebury Flop in the high jump. I'm sure there are more subtle examples in any sport. Athletes don't instinctively know the most efficient ways to do what they do, but they can be taught, especially if it's from scratch and they don't have to relearn anything.

                                Education is extremely important.
