So true. Be aware that you may have no symptoms in your legs at all, and still develop pulmonary embolisms. As an otherwise healthy and fit adult male, my first symptom of my PE was a sharp stabbing pain in my chest when inhaling. Thinking

Sure they do, depends on your ear size. Happens to me if I simply bend over. (Still love my AirPods, but am forced to use silicone wraps on them if doing anything active with them.)

That’s surprising, given the CDC’s view on the matter: “[Small rodents] are almost never found to be infected with rabies and have not been known to transmit rabies to humans. In all cases involving rodents, the state or local health depart

Neat coin! I just launched a coin project[1], but by carrying them in your pocket they’re meant to remind you to look for opportunities to help someone and then give it to them to pay forward. My first coin[2] has helped at least 3 homeless

Tour pros routinely swing driver at 120-125 mph, and produce ball speeds of 180-190 mph. I’ve seen numbers in the range of 2,000 - 4,000 pounds of force applied to the ball.

For fans of extreme detail, I'd recommend The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker[0]. Iirc, he devoted several pages to the feeling of the curls of a brown paper bag carried in his hand. 0: https://www.amazon.com/Mezzanine-Nic

Cats can right themselves in about 12 inches. The problem is they land with legs extended down from floors 1 to about 7 (bad: impact is transmitted up through shoulders and hips), while higher than about floor 7 they spread their legs out a
