Last month, a NIST team published a 10-year study to measure "big G," the gravitational constant. It didn't settle the debate, but rather revealed what everyone should consider

> Kentucky teen accused of killing 2 bank employees busted after posting clues on social media https://nypost.com/2026/05/03/us-news/kentucky-teen-busted-after-flaunting-clues-on-facebook-following-deadly-bank-rampage/

The dumbass asshole was caught in part due to his #SocialMedia posting.

#FollowUp to the lockdown events of last week. BTW, we were informed on campus the young lady killed was a college alum.

Has anyone seen any followup research on the response to psyllium based on gender and pre/post menopause? Has any work been done around perimenopause? And what about psyllium impacts on the liver in post estrogen lives? Is the sample size too small?

(I am posting Science Direct but the original paper is in Pub Med)

@atpfm #followup on episode 688.

I think that one of the reasons people have a problem with paying to unlock for seat heaters but not for Sirius XM is because of the way we perceive how a feature works and costs to operate.

Seat heaters are a “one-time” thing for the car manufacturers. Either they are made and installed or they are not, but once installed they don’t cost anything extra to operate. So gatekeeping the feature behind software feels like a rip-off, especially if it’s behind a subscription and not a one time upgrade charge.

SiriusXM is a radio service that is ever changing, and has an ongoing cost to pay for the music licenses and the radio hosts, so having to pay for a subscription makes sense because you’re paying to support the people and infrastructure providing the ongoing service.

I think if SiriusXM was preloaded into the car during manufacturing with a set number of episodes/albums that never changed in the lifetime of the car, people would have a much bigger problem paying an ongoing subscription.

There's been a lot of talk about evolving dark energy, and how DESI data demands it. But the case for this remains somewhat weak, while the true underlying puzzles remain unsolved
