It’s a good thing they never made it to the iron age.

The bronze all failed because it was alloyed with really bad quality copper.

I knew Faustino had a hip-hop club with his friends, but didn’t know he put out an album. So I was aware while watching that Bud’s “Grandmaster B” persona was self-depeication, which made it funnier.
You could tell he had taste, at least. the posters on Bud’s wall were presumably picked out by him, since a grown-up set decorater would have invariably gotten it wrong. would a baby boomer have picked Ice Cube’s Death Certificate poster?

Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychedelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.

There are a lot of fungal compounds that kill cancer, if you’re not too worried about its host…

Energy expenditure and obesity across the economic spectrum | PNAS
Economic development is associated with increased prevalence of obesity and related health problems, but the relative importance of increased caloric intake and reduced energy expenditure remains unresolved. We show that daily energy expenditures are greater in developed populations, and activity energy expenditures are not reduced in more industrialized populations, challenging the hypothesis that decreased physical activity contributes to rises in obesity with economic development. Instead, our results suggest that dietary intake plays a far greater role than reduced expenditure in the elevated prevalence of obesity associated with economic development.
Interesting findings. Seems to indicate that the quality of the diet is more important than the level of physical activity. That goes against a lot of our current dogma. If this stands up it will change how we counsel patients about weight loss!
From a commentary:
Mozaffarian was not involved in the study, but he says it adds to other recent research that suggests food is the biggest driver in obesity. He points out there’s been a major shift in our food supply in recent decades — which is now dominated by ultra-processed food. In a subanalysis of the data for some of the populations, Pontzer and his colleagues found that people in countries that got more of their calories from ultra-processed foods tended to have more obesity and higher body fat percentages.
This will be worth watching.
