NATO membership notwithstanding, I don't think anybody in Finland expects the US to ride to rescue if Russia invades.

Google already does this at their existing Hamina data center. The building is also a repurposed paper mill.

New comment by motionlessveloc in "Exercise intensity is associated with cardiometabolic health"

TL;DR: for some biomarkers, "sprint-interval exercise" (SIE) bursts as short as 5 min can be as effective as much longer periods of "moderate-intensity exercise" (MIE).

Specifically: MIE consisted of 90-min of continuous cycling at 90%–100% of the predetermined first lactate threshold, while SIE consisted of 6 sets of 30-s all-out cycling at a resistance of 0.075 kg·kg−1 body mass, with 4-min rests between the sets (Figure 1A).

The study's sample size was small and the period studied fairly short, but they did measure the levels of several thousand proteins.
