Coming back to this one, because @rvallee is quite right, and also because there’s something interesting about the history of convalescence....
Not sure about that. 18.5hrs a week is a pretty low bar for working from home in managerial functions. I’d agree it’s not sustainable for anything...
I will defer to @TiredSam - it means happiness, but perhaps it’s a specific type of malicious glee, informing portmanteaus like schadenfreude.
And Vienna is of course where the whole venerable tradition started, of doctors claiming to know better than patients what those patients think,...
I’m imagining a whole household now busily adulterating food, and switching labels on duplicated groceries, and keeping coded logs, all to sustain...
A rebuttal which outpunches the offending article by several orders of magnitude probably deserves its own thread.

I really wanted to like Visible but the bio-monitoring seemed squiffy, and it doesn’t allow symptoms or activity to be reported with sufficient...
I’m sure there is a thread for this already, but I can’t find it. I’m starting this one because I’m on the point of giving up a lucrative...
Do we have a thread on 7 - anecdotes and results from people who experimented with long term complete rest?
We definitely need a zillionaire, and a detailed organisational blueprint might whet their appetite, although it’s equally likely that anyone with...
Presumably Tibetan monks are not press-ganged at random from the population at large; youngsters who are particularly serene are advised by their...
I suspect that this pendulum is swinging back, at least on science topics with the potential to be exploited for significant geopolitical...
Even in the dim and distant days of 2021, there was quite a lot of cemetery-based evidence that covid wasn’t a hysterical authoritarian invention,...
Focusing on anxiety and depression isn’t a bad thing. Makes it less easy to add functional malingering to the IAPT mix, hopefully. It’s Malibu...
