Am I misremembering? Didn't you used to have the ability to search within a domain in Chrome by hitting tab to complete the URL making it a custom search? Now it just annoyingly activates the chrome AI mode I don't ever want to use.

One of the best wellness things I've done recently is to get an entirely different phone for work. All email/teams/secure messages/sms etc.. on a physically distinct device I just leave in my kitchen when I'm at home. So I can check it whenever I want but don't have it with me all the time.

I'm somewhat worried that NASA is going to accelerate the timeline for Artemis II in a way that significantly delays Artemis III.

If you are ever looking for an alternative (i.e. correct) perspective I'm happy to be a speaker on how more labs don't tell you anything about health in already healthy people.

Kids these days will never understand that a song about finding out about being cheated on via public humiliation was used to sell raisins to children for a decade, and it included merch!

On a Cartesian coordinate system based on notable discovery and personal unpleasantness he has to take up an extreme corner. I've met several people who knew him and none of them had even a small bit of positive things to say about him as a person.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

On the 25th anniversary of the ISS I continue to think that the most profound impact of the project is that there hasn't been a shooting war between any of the international partners in all that time. And I say that as a space researcher.

They've been pretty good comparatively. I assume Wolters Kluwer has been offered a bunch of money for the UTD database to be used as training data and I still haven't seen anyone announce an "agreement" with them.
