Reminded me of this documentary...

about the film https://www.liveabout.com/camera-obscura-and-painting-2578256

and the trailer https://videosift.com/video/Tims-Vermeer-Trailer

This made me want to go hang out with southerners.

Has anyone been to a tractor pull, and is it fun?

It's actually a pretty incredible water system. I love me some good engineering infrastructure/utilities planning and execution. *promote

If you want to skip the history of NYC water, start at around 2:20

Full episode..

In this episode, I describe a comprehensive toolkit consisting of behavioral and supplement-based tools that you can customize to enhance the quality, duration and impact of your sleep. This has an enormous positive impact on your overall health and daytime functioning, brain, hormones and immune system. I teach you how to effectively harness light (and darkness), temperature, food, exercise, caffeine, supplements, and digital devices in order to fall asleep faster, stay deeply asleep longer and overall, and achieve better quality sleep. I also describe how these tools can be modified to recover quickly from a poor night’s sleep, jet lag or bouts of shift work. Given that sleep is the foundation of all mental health, physical health and performance, this episode should benefit everyone as it provides an essential toolkit of science-supported, low- to zero-cost strategies that can be tailored to optimize your sleep routine.

I just find this shit really interesting *promote

Only nine sifters viewed this post and that doesn't take into account the ones that don't have the ability to downvote or the ones that just don't vote in general, which there are plenty of. IMO that's extremely quick for the circumstances. Personally i wouldn't have viewed and subsequently downvoted this if i hadn't read cloudballoons comment re his inability to downvote.

A more humorous take on the high five

That's weird. Hey Lucky, i think siftys been drinking again.

If you have been under the assumption that raising Vit D levels by supplementing will help with covid outcomes, you should watch this. TLDW it seems it has nothing to do with vit D levels , but everything to do with another spectrum of sunlight (near-infrared). *promote

CGP Grey did a similar video way back.

TLDW after 8 min. So what you're trying to say is cut off 20%. Did he really need to explain how to do the math? I was hoping for the physics of why 20% is the number. Seems more like a guesstimate that kinda works, most of the time.
