Trying to measure coding productivity is, and always will be, a fool's errand.
Why? Because I can go for a walk then take a shower and have an idea, then write a single line of code that fixes everything I was working on.
Immense productivity, but by most metrics I didn't do anything at all.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:
Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

Funny to be terrified at the idea of a city owned grocery store when all of PA’s liquor is sold by the state
Only history's greatest monsters have [squints at Fox News graphic] addressed the cost of living in practical ways.

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".
It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

I hate the state of Connecticut so much. I don’t trust anyone who loves it.

This is the main image Friends of Spruce and Pine has on their homepage: a car turning into a bike lane (that is filled with vehicles thanks to the illegal loading) while a child on a bike tries to cross the street.
They are suing the city for adding loading zones and improving bike safety.
