A problem with the older studies that seemed to indicate that alcohol had health benefits was also that their control group, the people who didn’t drink, turned out largely not to do so because they already had severe medical problems. They weren’t allowed to drink because of them.

Compared to them it looked like the people who did drink were more healthy on average. So they concluded there must be health benefits to drinking alcohol.

This “Science VS” episode is about that (and has a bunch of citations in its transcript): https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/llhdgj

Science VS: They investigate the science behind trends. E.g. ozempic, protein powder, the male g-spot, weed strains etc. With citations for everything

Gastropod: The science and history of various foods

Radiolab: Documentaries on a wide range of subjects. Usually from an angle you wouldn’t expect

Wong Notes: Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong interviews other artists from a musician’s pov, which leads to much more interesting conversations than your usual interview

I’m sorry, but I’ma keep calling it twitter. You can fuck right off with x

Slack already does allow your admin to view all of your conversations, which is more alarming to me

I’m a slack admin for my company, and I can tell you that no: admins can’t read DMs or private channels they’re not a part of

I tend to take Qwirkle and Sushi-Go on trips. Sometimes Kluster as well, though while it is small to pack, it’s heavier than you’d expect, due to the magnets.

They’re WIMPs though…

Yes, and for collapsing comments, it would be great if we could turn the haptic feedback off altogether
