Does a pool on top of the building count as a damper?

So Mozilla bought it to kill it…

Maier’s letter to the editor is not peer reviewed; it counts as opinion, the original authors have not retracted their paper - so the matter is at best “divided”

ok, guess its these three papers

Our results show that choice architecture interventions overall promote behavior change with a small to medium effect size of Cohen’s d = 0.43 (95% CI [0.38, 0.48])

So the meta-analysis says nudging works, but not to some massive degree.

Where do I find the show notes? This is all i see at the link you provided

I’d really like to see and engage with the thesis here, but it’s not presented in a accessible way. Could you give the argument please?

homonyms, hooked on phonics. There always their waiting to trip me up over they’re.

I’ve read nudge, whats wrong with behavioral economics to influence behavior? it seems to work

Tldr: car steering and breaking didn’t work, it was a repeatable problem, none of the mechanics could repeat it. After 108 days Ford re-bought the car and issued a refund to the owner.

Read the books nudge, and sludge.

CGM is so inexpensive it should be a tool used by anybody concerned with their health or weightloss

The headline is somewhat misleading.

The device tracks progesterone levels via saliva. It’s currently possible to track those levels via urine or blood, but saliva is probably the most convenient.

But here’s the catch. If you desire to avoid pregnancy, you avoid sexual activity during the fertile window that the device indicates. This is known as a fertility awareness method, and in Catholic circles it’s also known as natural family planning.

It is not a contraceptive in the sense that it allows you to have sex during the fertile part of your cycle but not get pregnant.

I find it’s good to post the papers and the notes from the reading, for my own purposes if nothing else.

Sure, some of the metabolic problems are fast. But many are slow, like type 2 diabetes - The US spends 1 Billion a day on T2D diabetes and related conditions. With almost a billion people with T2D globally, and growing… it’s going to get worse.

Actually, the opposite, turns out keeping sick people barely alive is expensive

A health person tends to live a long time and just die. A sick person can linger for decades

Saunas have also been associated with exercise mimicking. Especially cardiovascular exercise

There is also associative evidence that consistent sauna usage retains muscles even without exercise of those muscles

Metabolic health is a worldwide epidemic, not just the UK

Although the evidence is limited, some psychologists are using ketogenic diets to treat psychiatric disorders.

It’s a really exciting area of research. I read the papers when they come out. It looks very promising

If you address the underlying metabolic dysfunction, Palmer said, you may take care of its downstream manifestations, too. Metabolic psychiatry, a field named by Sethi in 2016, focuses on addressing the significant underlying metabolic components of mental illness (with several therapies including KMT) instead of simply trying to suppress the effects of that dysfunction — that is, symptoms of mental illness.

Hop into a discord game group, going to an empty voice room, stream yourself playing the game. People will join and ask to join you.

In my experience people want to join other people doing something cool. You just have to be the trailblazer

Nooo they make the best YouTube videos

For those times when people are using Bluetooth speakers in public
