A couple years ago, I happened to overhear a conversation at lunch between two men I gathered were SpaceX engineers. (They were talking very loudly, so it was difficult not to listen in.) Rather than discuss the mission of the company, or anything that showed passion for their job, they instead spent most of the lunch talking about how they were making “day in the life” TikToks and were trying to increase their follower counts, then about how they would drive 150+mph to Vegas since they could afford any speeding ticket if they got pulled over. Really struck me as a red flag for the company that their employees were much more concerned about their own social status than anything they were working on. I suppose incidents like this may well be the result of these attitudes becoming commonplace.

On the contrary, I think part of the appeal of professional wrestling is that the cheating itself is scripted and part of the spectacle. Scandals and drama draw the most views, wrestling just guarantees it'll be part of the show.

Poking around, there's a subreddit[0] with users who seem to report varied results, and some discussion there of another study on swallowing in the bridge position[1]. Interesting stuff, thanks OP!

Epub support was my most wanted feature, glad it’s finally here. Major kudos to Zotero!

I don’t work in programming, but in arts and academia. I usually have 1 “main” window in working in and at least 1-2 more I am continually referring to, so I like to be able to quickly switch between a single fullscreen window and a 2 column view. Typical workspaces for me are Zotero + Firefox + Word (for writing and research) and Photoshop/InDesign + Finder + Firefox (for design). When I do code, I like being able to have at least 1 terminal window side-by-side with a coding LLM. I usually also have a workspace with Spotify + MacPass + Telegram open that I refer to as needed.

I remember when the first Android phones with 4-inch screens hit the market, I saw someone comment online that if a 4-inch screen was better Apple would have figured that out during R&D for the iPhone and made the original iPhone 4 inches.
