  It’s how I retain that resting heart rate of 112. I don’t even have to go to the gym anymore; I’m getting my cardio in just sitting here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks are brought for teachers.

  Every paper comes with an author appendix as cut-out scrabble tiles so readers assemble the names in the order they prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Observable Universe Might Be A Black Hole, Suggests A Chart Of Everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The extent of my knowledge of astrophysics and relativity are around the size of the next comma in this sentence, but wouldn’t a great deal of time pass “inside” such a black hole such that a “universe” could rise and fall in what would seem to us as just a few microseconds due to relativistic effects?

  The fibers are too short, but you could probably make a neat paper out of it.

  There are some really good flint and steel survival rods available now. Not the flimsy Scouting ones of yesteryear, but ones with anodized aluminum housings, hardened metal strikers and large diameter flint rods.

  Started our winter stove with it the other day and am really happy with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t we though? All language is arbitrary at first. A person (or community) often names things, sometimes from pure scratch. The words “Kodak” and “Xerox” come to mind.

  The blurb here makes me think the main article is an “advertorial”.

  Thank you!

  Pardon my ignorance, I’m just starting to learn some things here; what are the applications of this device?

  Big Toothpaste gonna fight this. Tooth and nail.
