This is the one thing I really miss in the transition to WFH: the two built in times a day where I couldn't work, but I could think about work- the commute. It doesn't need to be walking.

1. Sleeping through the night, regardless of how you feel otherwise, is a great benefit. 2. Salt is anti-diuretic, so I'd suspect the effect is real, but not specific to magnesium. And like any supplement, it works for…
Thinking about this more, I'd say the convention wisdom on body-weight exercises is completely backwards. They're terrible for beginners, but can be valuable for people already strong enough to do them. Why are they…
If you're able to increase your strength using body-weight exercises, then they're excellent. And they can go a long way - most people probably can't do a pull up, and very few will ever be able to do a pistol squat or…

Thoughts on teaching students: 1. Nobody wants to admit they don’t know. Not in front of you, certainly not in front of their peers. Related, almost nobody that needs to goes to office hours. 2. Teaching the right way…
They're all left-leaning cities, but the Gerrymandering is strong in Austin, which divides it into four Congressional districts: the 10th, 21st, 25th and 35th.
