I considered a lung plus but the risk of tripping while running and it hitting my teeth made me buy a mask instead which also covers the nose. Icicles form on that too though.

Maybe when going fast on a bike, they'd cool down faster. I remember from ice skating below 0C that if I didn't wear sports glasses, my eyes would hurt afterwards in the warm dressing room. I've always attributed that to them

I agree that looks and deskspace is not something to optimize for and number entering is great on the number pad, but the ergonomics expert at my job informed us that shorter hand travel to the mouse is better against straining or something

Still, I was surprised when someone told me the rule was "at least two opponent players between you and the goal line" instead of only one. I had never thought of the keeper.

Ha, I learned about no soap on HN some years ago, a HNer claiming their lovers thought the no-soap skin smelled great. I guess it's likely that other bacterial species may thrive on your skin when not washing with soap (soap washing wo

There have been some no-soap discussions on HN and I think a user called graeme described something similar, some years ago. I've tried not using shampoo but it was mainly rough and then I gave up (too early?). Anyway, I also wonder ab

Also, if you need to do something (even once) and have to know how you did it three months later, write a script.

Ticks have eight legs and are thus not insects, but more closely related (I think?) to spiders.

Not that my statistics knowledge is great, but I wonder why they don't show fig.4 with SD bars? (Or if the plot represents the model, show the data points the model was fitted to?) Edit: fig.4, not fig.3

Exactly. The paper itself concludes somewhat softer that "children may be a potential source of contagion in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in spite of milder disease or lack of symptoms" The patient group consisted of "children ...

To me this also works the other way around. If am overly critical to others' work, my own work suffers. Only realized this now, thanks.

AFAIK it depends on how long lived the antibody response is. Memory cells can last different amounts of time for different infections, or (like for certain calicivirus infections?) hardly develop at all. Have no nice paper on hand to back t

I had never heard that about sunlight before, but if true, it seems impractical to roll out ICU beds into the sun. (Not sure if patients outside of hospital would need blood thinning of course.) Edit: read too quick when typing "outsid

Maybe I'm misreading your comment, but the outcome of quarantining measures is not only monetary. If the economy suffers more to solve the current crisis, more people will die because of secondary effects. I guess that is included in t

Actually, while indeed heavier, I was surprised that my 2018 13" fit in the sleeve of my older 11" MBA. A bit snug, but the screen width seems to have expanded inside the frame. And yes, while the widths are fairly similar, the de

Maybe I'm mixing my timelines but when was this? I thought the N9 was released a couple of years after the first iphone? Around the time there was iphone4?

Not sure if you're being intentionally ironic about "not a narcissist but perfect" :). I'd echo the rest of your comment with my MD friend's "narcissists can't be treated, they think there is no problem an

They possibly undergo some reaction in the reindeer's liver to break them down, before excreting them in urine.

Not that I know much about fasting, but by fasting you mean you skip breakfast, eat healthy and that's it? That sounds like a lot lower hanging fruit than I thought it'd be, thanks!

Although they share origins, Italian calzone is not Swedish kalsonger, Swedish husbonde is not English husband.

Some years ago I read an article through HN by someone who did their programming on an ipad through SSH (and bluetooth mac keyboard) and ditched the laptop. Pictures of croissants in the sun outside in Munich. Got me very inspired. But in t

I dont think an anti to-do list makes me more productive. But I sure like to keep a log of things done in a text file so I can find what I did later. There is of course a limit to what I keep, but even one-liners etc can be stored in it. Es

I have nostalgia for my early adopter friend's setup. He had his mp3 player (a jazpiper?) connected to a fake cassette for playing in his car.

It took me the longest time before I understood that ad, since the sheep speaks fluent "American". While on pronounciation topics, how does one pronounce "Knuth"? Is the k silent like in "know"? Edit: According

I guess in earlier days they used the form they found appropriate and didnt think about it much more. Also, as much as you and I like it, the gender-neutral pronoun in swedish is relatively modern enough for it to be yet hardly used in ever

I have to try this. But how does it work out for you when you "have to" be up late, e.g. at social activities? I imagine yawning my way through a late dinner, falling asleep at the cinema.

TIL there are revert commits, which prompted me to actually read the article and not just the HN comments. Thank you!
