1400W for a minute is insane. You are either a pro track cyclist, or you should quit your job and become a pro track cyclist!

Rule of thumb efficiency of humans is about 25%, which is about the kJ to Calorie conversion, too


so 14kJ of energy output burns ~14,000 Calories.

For those like me wondering why oxygen emission depends on altitude, it's that the excited lifetime is very long for red, so it tends to decay via collisions at lower altitudes.

Hopefully you end up doing a better job sleep training than us! Toddler does not go down without a fight.

Rice is good when you're hungry and want 2000 of something.

The headline in the linked article says something which is patently and demonstrably false. That's my only point. Yes, it's "just the headline" and we all should RTFA all the time, but still


it's a factually incorrect statement. (Had it been, "...Isn't Telling Us The Whole Story," that would have been nice


it's a matter of opinion still, but it's not patently incorrect.)

From the linked article:

Israeli officials just rejected a cease-fire deal that could have brought hostages back because Israel wants to continue waging war. This should be a scandal — but American mainstream media isn’t reporting on it.

From the AP article:

Egyptian officials said that proposal called for a cease-fire of multiple stages starting with a limited hostage release and partial Israeli troop pullbacks within Gaza. The two sides would also negotiate a “permanent calm” that would lead to a full hostage release and greater Israeli withdrawal out of the territory, they said.

The linked article is very much an opinion piece. Claiming "Israel wants to continue waging war" is an opinion, and yeah, it seems pretty obviously true, but "Netanyahu wants to hold on to power, and waging war is his surest bet" is another valid (IMHO) opinion. But again, opinion, so at some level it's a matter of taste (my point really is that ascribing motive to someone or something is getting into the opinion business, no matter how obvious things are). But to claim that the "American mainstream media isn't reporting on it" is pretty disingenuous.

I'd prefer vodka in watermelons, personally!

Yeah I always assumed "bug" was like "vegetable"


it's a colloquial, not taxonomic, term. But there are "true bugs" so maybe the analogy isn't completely sound.

(And tomato is absolutely a vegetable.)
