Sleep? Sleep!
Some cool research has been done recently (within the last 10 or 20 years) on historic sleep patterns by A. Roger Ekirch (see his book At Day's Close: A History of Nighttime, also titled At Day's Close: Night in Times Past).
I was watching Chernobyl for like the 4th time (it is such a great show) and it occurred to me how similar the original reaction to the disaster was to COVID.
"It's just a cold."
= "It's just like a chest xray."
"It's only dangerous to old people and people with pre-existing conditions."
= "Everything is under control. There's no reason to evict people living around nuclear reactor."
Let's try this again.
The c99 text editor is the box where you write your comments and essays. The row of icons above it make it easier to format HTML. The icon that some here used to embed videos has been disabled because it was causing a bug in the c99 software.
The video icon worked by going to a youtube video and copy the URL and then pasting it into the now disabled video icon box. The URL of a web page is the web page's address shown in the address bar at the top of web browsers. The video icon no longer works but there is an easy solution.
Below the c99 text editor is a long box titled "Video URL". That "Video URL" box works exactly the same as the icon did. Simply paste the video URL into the box and it will display just like the icon did. It's actually even easier to use than the icon was.
The news of Jimmy Carter going home for hospice care is tragic, but expected.
-- where any change at all that looks like it might simulate real change starts to look really good.
