FTA: "Food items consumed were categorized according to their degree of food processing using the NOVA food classification system"

If you search "NOVA food classification system" there is a PDF guide as the first link.

Dietary cholesterol has been repeatedly shown to have little to no effect on blood cholesterol or other cardiovascular disease. Ex: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6024687/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9143438/

This article is shallow ad for a drug company.

I've had that happen at my work, but afaik it was just so that the location could be added to google maps. Someone who just wanted your business to be on google maps for some reason?

Google has a pretty streamlined process to take back control of these too so maybe its pretty commonplace.

If the president is at Level 7 then it is an utter failure of their administration. Whatever the president's busy level is, it needs to be something that can be kept up with for years at a time without breaking down. They've got whole branches of government at their disposal to delegate tasks. I'd imagine the president's staffers try and keep it at or below a 4 90% of the time.

Maybe on higher end or newer vehicles sure, but for your standard economy vehicle made in the last 2 decades its commonly just visually reading (as in a human just looking with their eyeballs) the fluid level on the reservoir. No sensors or switches involved.

(Obviously not relevant to ferrari)

Since each podcast independently chooses where/who their files are hosted on/with, no not really. AFAIK podcast apps are just a directory of RSS feeds, so you could in theory subscribe to one of those feeds directly but I have no idea for sure.

If the goal is to listen on your computer instead of your phone you could probably use spotify or apple podcasts or whatever.

Personally one of the strengths of podcasts is that its audio-only, so I can listen while on the go/doing non-cognitive work. Perfect use-case for a phone, but to each their own.

Based on:

>but also I gotta have my "expert on topic talks to me about interesting thing" content.

You should absolutely be listening to podcasts. This is literally the main strength of the format. What do you mean you "never know how to play them" ?

Whichever phone you have there will be abundant free podcast players in the app store, you can look up and subscribe to their feeds and listen through that. Longform interviews or conversations on every topic imaginable.

I disagree. Youtube easily has the best recommendations out of all of the big social media/content sites.

Its entirely based in what you are watching. If you watch very little on the site then yes, obviously they will just throw random stuff at you that is popular. The recommendation algorithm has nothing to go on.

["Popular" in this case usually means trash since the videos that get the biggest on the platform ARE clickbait shallow garbage because the vast majority of watch time is from kids and teens.]

If you seek out creators and channels that you enjoy/find useful, actually engage with the algorithm by subscribing to quality channels, hitting "not interested" when the recommendations miss, suddenly you'll get better results.

One very recent (1 month maybe?) change that ive noticed is that Youtube tosses in WAY more tiny channels into the recommendations. I get recommended videos with ~1k or less views all the time. I've found some awesome stuff through that.

The shorts "shelf" as they call it has an X in the top right that hides them entirely.

Just because both have an enjoyable ritual aspect does not mean that they are equivalent vices or even remotely comparable.

Humans ritualize all sorts of activities, positive and negative.

I work at a 10'000+ acre private nature reserve. I maintain and upgrade our hiking and ski trail network, all of our equipment, vehicles, a dozen rental cottages and a whole bunch of campsites.

Debating between going back to my bio school background via probably bioinformatics but for now really like working outside with my hands. Starting to build custom furniture and repair equipment on the side.

Cant imagine doing one type of job for more than handful of years, at least for now.

What is a mystical experience then?

I would suppose that it went something like:

1. Person sees/experiences something interesting/abnormal/rare

2. Can't figure out how to explain what happened

3. Attributes experience to god/religion

Once we started filling in that middle bit there was less around that could only be attributed to religion so it lost a lot of its draw.

Now that we are closer to a state where we can attribute most things to nature/science/etc religion does seem to be left with mostly dogma.

Okay? So get off here and go build that for yourself then.

A guy builds a news aggregator and shows it on HN, and you purposely click on something you know you are not interested in just to comment that you are not interested in it? Why?

Not everything is for you man.

On Writing I found to be very specialized for the fiction writer (not surprisingly given King's body of work). Not incredibly relevant to the non-fiction blogger IMO.

Still a good book overall though, don't get my wrong.
