Polyvagal Theory is a huge part of how I teach yoga to veterans. There’s a great book by Dr Arielle Schwartz - Applied Polyvagal Theory in Yoga. It does work, it can’t cure PTS(D) but it does provide relief if only for an hours r of class.

This shouldn’t be that surprising, you’re using a piece of pre-beta software that is currently still in progress. Is it a bug, yeah. Is it newsworthy, not really. Just more, there’s a bug Company X’s product is shite.

This is such a great way to look at this. I'm sad that the employees will lose their jobs but the fact that so much money is being invested in this and going to Mars but we can't stop kids from being killed during school, feed kids lunch if they are starving, or make any real impact on climate change should awaken us to the fact that we've been increasingly played since the 60's.

you can't cut deep enough to cover $1B in interest paymets, maybe now people will figure out that Musk is the wealthiest man in the world by taking tax dollars as subsidies for all his businesses.

For me, iOS 16 focus modes and a cellular Apple Watch is working for this. I've been able to pretty much just stop carrying my phone when I need to be connected but don't want the distractions. I have tried the Palm Phone in the past to reduce my use of smartphones and really liked it but did not like the lack of integration to iCloud and that you couldn't de-Googleify it.

I've been giving the advice for years that actually planning for what you'll do past retirement is as important than having all the money you'll need. I've seen my parents and in-laws struggle with mental health issues and boredom more than they have ran out of money. I'm refusing to do that, I found 3 things that I really love and working on turning those into third careers go keep myself busy. The 3 things are teaching yoga, personal training for people over 50, and becoming a divemaster.

I dropped in here to say this. There's a book that just came out related to this called Breathe. I looks at breath from a cultural perspective also.

I think picking a few accidents and saying that all nuclear is unsafe is such a disingenuous argument any more. All of those plants were based on extremely old designs and there have been tons of improvements. How about we focus on the "portable" nuclear power that is used by the US Navy for submarines and aircraft carriers safely.

This is my favorite comment in this thread. We keep pouring billions into ride sharing, scooters, co-working to prop up crap business models that have no path to profitability to benefit a few.

My kids love the race tracks, Overdrive. I'll be looking to scoop up some stuff on clearance.

I've been curious about the Muse device. Do you still use your every practice?
