Nice design. I like the "today in history" feature

Lately I've been working toward less app time and more boredom https://youtu.be/orQKfIXMiA8?si=ZyvxO0SFjoGGHbdK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ works wonders

Got a degree in clickbait headlines too, apparently :)

I'm of the opinion there are pros and cons to both approaches. Which of the two approaches is better for a company is dependent upon the relevant experience and preference/work style of the developers.

The grass is always greener, as they say...

Interesting conclusion… though I wish I didn’t have to go down a rabbit hole to understand orthostatic tolerance I saw your comment too late but it’s appreciated!

It’s too bad this couldn’t be briefly explained in the abstract by the researchers. Such small efforts go a long way in making research findings more easily understood to the general public. Overly highfalutin abstracts are a bit annoying

hilarious... well done
CDC has there shortcomings, no doubt but let’s not forget who’s truly to blame for the mess we’re in now. The trump administration’s disbandment of federal institutions created to combat this and the ongoing denial of a serious problem have led to a collapsing economy and isolation of millions. Good article here for sure but let’s not pass the blame to the CDC. We know who to blame...

Ahh that does make it better but the same limitations still apply to some degree... that’s just a byproduct of exclusivity

Is it better to limit access to limit access to only those you personally know?

Sounds like a great way to limit exposure to differing thoughts, experiences, and opinions.

If you’re only hearing from those in your friend circle, it’s just another glorified chat room... nothing new here
