This falls in the list of things I didn't know I didn't want to know, but now know, and know I don't want to know. Oh no

This is a Canadian mining company that discovered it by partially finding a researcher to investigate. After about 8 years, their researchers literally said "we're forced to conclude that this was caused by the above."

The mining company was not happy, the CAD government put a moratorium on mining for further research, and now the company is paying to have other research completed cuz they "dispute his findings" ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll see if I can find the article

Edit: the article. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/oxygen-ocean-study-conflict-1.7273929

Which means the "one spot between pissers" rule still applies

Chewed on the no politics at the Olympics comment for myself and I think where I landed was that the Olympics should be apolitical. I do think these countries should be punished for their actions, however, with the number and types of international destabilizing events increasing, I think this is a quick win for international cooperation. Something all humans can get behind. Doping obviously should be punished, but that's an athletic issue.

Obviously the precedent of excluding countries has been set, so there'd be vitriolic pushback, but I think it would be worth it to have one majorly public institution (read: in popular awareness) that doesn't judge, it just lets athletes compete.

Thoughts?

This is like the quietest room on earth. Built to stop sound as much as possible, apparently it's so quiet you can hear your heartbeat. I think I remember the average ppl can stand it is like 12 minutes

Edit: I was wrong about time (30 mins), but the longest is about an hour. See bottom of the article.

These are both good ideas and I will chew on it. I'd never heard of falconry certification before - I just assumed those who did it just knew how to train them (kind of like training dogs lol). Thanks!

Realistically it looks like the majority of my fiber intake is about to become oats and popcorn...

Second on the RAZR+. Get it. Moto is still a solid company, they added some nice touches, and the exterior screen is awesome (if used less than expected). Paid ~1000 CAD on sale.

Only complaint so far is the OEM screen protector is getting a gnarly partial crease after 7 months, but it's only noticeable on some screens and if you put your finger on it. Should be a warrantied issue I think, but unsure

I did a lot of research and personally found this to be the better option over the Samsung fold (not throwing any shade though).

Edit: also this year's RAZR+ looks even better than last year's
