Sort of mentioned in one of the side notes:

Acetaminophen is the only medication of its kind approved for infants under six months because the liver develops faster than the kidneys.

Maybe this flood is a response to the constant flood of:

"Why do people use Vercel?"

"Because it's cheap* and easy."

>> sleep only when you are very tired

This flies in the face of all sleep research done at the Stanford Health Care’s Sleep Medicine Center.

You're confusing treatment for insomnia with recommendations for general sleep hygiene.

I heard that Simplex-2 will go even more viral.

Instead of better/cheaper/faster you just the the last one?

That sucks. It was the first thing I would check when someone said, "Hey, do you want to go to São Paulo/Oman/Laos?"

What's a good resource now for "Do I need K&R insurance?"

Need this in AR to un-Dubai everything.

20 years ago buildings never turned out like their renderings promised but now they do.

A coworker (under 30) told me his ex wanted to get back together.

He wanted to but told her, "I promised myself I wouldn't have a girlfriend until I got a six pack."

Let's assume she is nonplussed.

thisisauserid — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 14:47:16 +0000

The cynic in me can imagine that the body positivity "movement" was secretly funded by the ABCD* companies.

How about "Plant Based!" Let's get some more grain into soup and milk!

I'm honestly surprised that sawdust is so far only in shredded cheese. No "tree milk" yet for my coffee?

Please don't propagate the myth that Einstein couldn't wrap his head about Heisenberg.

The EPR paper says otherwise and Bohr's response to it was incomprehensible (and still is).

Einstein was simply saying science should not stop looking into the why.

Because they're statistically more likely to be surrounded by people dumber than them.
