Can you believe kids these days get to grow up with cognizant computers? My starving teenage mind had to dial-up to a BBS.

Makes me wonder what a sense deprivation tank workstation would be like. Insane productivity? Or just insanity?

Then give up whatever device you are typing on, and never set foot again in whatever structure you are typing from. Surely you know that your activities have destroyed at least as much nature as whatever you're criticizing.

The tide is probably turning against that opinion: the aches and pains are not due to the body doing too much, but too little.

Actually, at such a low speed I find it only helps focus. It's meditative, similar to how a labyrinth is an ancient meditative walking device.

Also, our bodies evolved walking 10+ miles per day. Not standing in one place for hours. The broader point is about reconciling modern lifestyles with the evolutionary past that we are still largely bound by.

That is the last paragraph. Shouldn't be the last word though. You're seeing it cut off with the word "for" ? Anyone else?

Does it really just cut off? I colored the second, less essential half of the article grey for visual simplicity. Is it not showing up as such for you?

The extended content in grey covers my experiments with standing desks prior to this. tl;dr: Standing for a half hour leads to aching body parts — walking doesn't.

Anyone else trying a paleo diet? I'm reminded that PG himself referenced the diet in an essay years ago though I can't remember which one. I wonder if he ever went on it.

"In the USA in 2004, 317 billion cubic feet of natural gas were consumed in the industrial production of ammonia... A 2002 report suggested that the production of ammonia consumes about 5% of global natural gas consumption...

Natural gas is overwhelmingly used for the production of ammonia..." — Wikipedia

The bar over the ō is a macron. It is a diacritic marking a long vowel. Hence you should pronounce 'loc' like 'location.'

Right, because ending up a great musician instead of a great watcher of television would have been awful.

Anyone know of other teams who have implemented something similar?
