Ok this may be an insane take but I don play football in HS.
Padding is really good and I think you’d be able to be healthy for all 10. You’re not gaining a yard unless the blocking scheme is PERFECT, but pads work!

been thinking about that “if you had 10 carries behind an NFL line, could you get a first down” hypothetical
and the trickier question is this: assuming you don’t slide, could you make it through all ten carries without fumbling

Kind of wild to think about it but the solar/battery boom is as likely to end war in Russia (and soon to be Venezuela) as anything else.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I’m always fascinated by those who think that metals will somehow be a store of value in the apocalypse. Like… can you eat gold? Shoot gold? Worthless.
Gold and silver hit records in 2025. They aren't the only metals having a massive year.

In a year of market upheaval, store-of-value stalwarts gold and silver had their best stretch in decades. Industrial metals also spent 2025 in a run-up.

Hollywood is betting big on vertical microdramas, told in chunks under two minutes. Can a gimmick turn into a new form of entertainment?

i genuinely thought that only liberals were brain poisoned by "if i debate you on the field of ideas, i will win you to my side" but every day i am proved more wrong
Yikes. Bari Weiss's lil debate show is such a strange, sophomoric idea. Good luck to her, I guess, but with all the power of CBS news at your disposal, you came up with... town hall?

Edge ML Has a Size Obsession
The industry spent three years compressing models when most edge deployments never needed neural networks. The real bottleneck isn't model size—it's deployment orchestration.

Seriously. If you see someone working extra hard to convince you to go back to X, block that turd. It's not a genuine entreaty... it's not earnest, it's a desperate business move.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
