Conor Neill's 3-minute daily challenge to become a better speaker (backed by research): "What does it take to achieve world-class? As a musician? As a sportsman? As a speaker? Is it talent? The answer is no. The answer is 10,000 hours of practice." Conor explains: "No matter where you start from, no matter how talented a kid was in school, it's the kid that practices 8 hours a day that's now playing as a soloist with the top orchestras of the world. Leo Messi wasn't born with a better right knee and a better left foot than anyone else. It's what he chose to do every day after school, every weekend, that means he is where he is today." He shares a study that proves quantity beats perfectionism: "There was a pottery class in the United States. The teacher took half the class and said, 'Your grade will be based on the weight of pots you create.' To the other half, she said, 'You'll be evaluated on your one most finished piece.' The group measured on weight, they produced 5, 6, 7 pots a day. They tried random experiments, weird things, different ideas. Their hands were on clay from the first moment. The group evaluated on the most finished pot? They read, they thought, they talked about concepts, they went to galleries, and the first time they touched clay was 3 days before the end of class. All of the best pots were made by the group that focused on weight." He gives a simple challenge: "Every laptop comes with a webcam. Spend 3 minutes every day for the next 10 days. Record yourself. Explain a product. Explain your CV. Explain your vision. Try random things because no one else has to see it." Conor concludes: "No amount of watching YouTube videos of Bill Clinton is going to turn you into Bill Clinton. No amount of reading is going to turn you into a writer. Only by speaking do you turn into a speaker."

A tiny little scene in Season 1, Episode 6 of The Expanse shows Uncle Mateo, a Belter, popping open his helmet for a few seconds to yank out a sparking sensor wire that had come loose inside his helmet. He takes a big breath first to better oxygenate his bloodstream, then begins exhaling steadily as he opens the helmet. He pulls the wire, seals it, and repressurizes - and he's fine. It always got me thinking how over-the-top Hollywood usually makes exposure to vacuum in movies. But this scene actually gets the science right. (Note: In real spacesuits you can't open a helmet like this - the pressurized bubble stays sealed. But the physics of what would happen if you could is still fascinating.) You MUST exhale steadily, and here's why: The reason is Boyle's Law. When external pressure drops to zero, the air trapped in your lungs wants to expand dramatically. Even at only 4.3 psi inside the suit, that creates a huge unbalanced pressure pushing outward against the delicate alveoli. On Earth a big breath is safe because pressure is equal on both sides. In vacuum it's not - the alveoli can tear, sending air bubbles into your blood (an arterial gas embolism that can hit your brain or heart). Game over. Even if you somehow held it, you couldn't use the oxygen anyway. In vacuum the pressure gradient reverses and your lungs start stripping oxygen out of your blood. So you take that big breath to load up your bloodstream with extra oxygen, then you begin a steady exhale as you open the helmet, and… - 0–2 seconds: What little bit of air is left rushes out of your lungs. - 3–5 seconds: Your saliva starts fizzing and boiling on your tongue - that weird, carbonated, Pop-Rocks feeling. If you stay exposed without resealing: In 10–15 seconds you black out from lack of oxygen. Once you pass out, your face and body start swelling from water vapor forming in the tissues. Not the dramatic explosion of bad sci-fi - more like severe bloating, and it reverses almost completely once you repressurize. But you could last unconscious for up to approximately three minutes. Should someone reach you, seal your helmet, and repressurize, you'd have a surprisingly good chance at recovering. Uncle Mateo was fine. His exposure was very brief. He exhaled, and as a Belter, he'd probably become used to that mild Pop-Rocks feeling. NASA proved all of this with real tests in the 1960s - Jim LeBlanc's near-vacuum accident plus animal chamber studies. It's not movie nonsense. It's physics.

Walgreens is currently facing a crisis under its new private equity ownership, and the "strip-and-flip" playbook is unfolding faster than anyone anticipated. If you’ve noticed your local pharmacy has stopped answering the phone, here is why: 🚩 The Private Equity Playbook Last year, Walgreens was acquired in a deal structured with 70% debt, nearly double the corporate average of 40%. That $13 billion debt load has to be serviced, and it isn't coming from growth—it’s coming from cuts. 📉 A Pattern of Destruction The firm behind this acquisition has a documented history of hollowed-out businesses: Nine West: Led into bankruptcy with $800M in debt. Staples: One-third of stores shuttered while the firm took a $1 billion dividend. The Leadership: The same executive who managed the store closures and mass layoffs at Staples is now running Walgreens. 📞 The "End of the Line" for Patients We are seeing a massive surge in patients transferring out of Walgreens because the basic infrastructure is collapsing: Reduced Hours: Staffing has been cut to the bone. Phone System Failure: Their phone trees are now designed to end calls rather than placing pharmacies on hold for transfers. Total Isolation: It has become nearly impossible for other pharmacists to reach them to coordinate your care. The bottom line: Their plan isn't to get better; it’s to squeeze what’s left. You shouldn't have to fight a broken phone system to get your medication.

Sometime in the next decade every single one of you will trust AI with your lives. Maybe on vacation when you take a Waymo, Zoox, or Tesla Robotaxi, This has deep implications on the future. After you do it you will realize that resisting more AI, like in a brain/computer interface jacked into your brain, is folly. These two turns have taken many lives. Before the wall was installed they were amongst the most dangerous in the United States. Downhill off camber turn causes many wrecks. Still does. Very little room for error. And has an affordance for driving fast into tragedy. Here my robot drives them without touching me the robot once. For hours of driving today. With my entire family in the car. Yes I trust a piece of melted sand to not kill us. Most of today we were on high-speed two lane roads. Just a few feet to the left of us is a tragedy waiting to happen. Now they yell at me when I turn the AI off. It is far smoother with it on. Next year unsupervised driving is coming. I will be amongst the first to buy a car without a steering wheel. And take it on this road where my mom and brother wrecked cars. “Keep your hands on the steering wheel,” I can hear her yelling. Funny, she yelled at me when I sat too close to the TV. It is one reason why I took to running camera at a Silicon Valley church for a decade. So I could be closer to the TV. Now I wear two TVs on my face. You all are just going to have to deal. I am not putting my hands back on the steering wheel.

One of the interesting findings from studies comparing social pain and physical pain is this: if you ask people directly which they would rather experience, most say social pain. Physical pain is extremely aversive. People dislike it intensely. When asked to imagine experiencing one or the other, they typically rate physical pain as more unpleasant than the social pain of embarrassing yourself on stage, being betrayed by a friend, or being dumped by a romantic partner. But an interesting study from about ten years ago approached the question differently. Instead of asking people to imagine pain, the researchers asked participants to recall real experiences. Some were asked to remember moments of physical pain—being in a serious car accident, falling out of a tree and breaking a bone, or some other injury. Others were asked to recall socially painful experiences—being broken up with, going through a divorce, being betrayed by a friend, or embarrassing themselves at an important work event. When recalling these events, people reported that the socially painful memories felt more painful than the physically painful ones. When I first read this study, I was a little skeptical. But then I thought back to the times in my own life when I experienced physical pain. The memory of it tends to be vague. If you’ve broken a bone, been punched, or stubbed your toe, it’s surprisingly difficult to recreate the sensation in your mind once the pain is gone. Social pain is different. It’s much easier to recall vividly. I can remember moments when I felt embarrassed, betrayed, or misled, and those memories can still bring back the emotional sting. Many of those experiences are easy to relive even years later.

The Pain Cave. Ultras are known for the “Pain Cave,” this mythical place where athletes suffer for hours on end. What I learned after my bike accident in April is that the Pain Cave doesn’t mean “pain” like a head injury or broken bones. It means stripping down the physical artifice of normal life and exposing your muscles and sinew to the world. It’s totally vulnerable, and I (the anxiety-riddled former football player who very few people believed was setting a reasonable goal) wanted to see what would happen when I was stripped down to that vulnerable place. Leadville was my first 100 miler, and I didn’t care when and how I got to experience the Pain Cave. I just wanted to experience it of my own volition, not because of a damn car making a left turn without seeing me. And I learned that I could go into that cave, turn on a light, and find thousands of people giving me love and telling me how I inspired them no matter how the race turned out. I hope I can inspire other people to do things that mortify them and seem impossible. Because when you venture into the cave and make yourself that vulnerable, I bet that there might be something special waiting for you when you turn on a light 🧡 This video is from the 20% grade on Powerline climb at mile 80. I didn’t want to walk a step of the race, and I was having doubts. I was in the cave. And the believers were with me in this moment, carrying me to a record I didn’t know I could achieve. Thank you to all my cave friends 🙏 Also, on the drive home to our AirBnB after the race, I thought I was dying. It was my first 100, and it felt so strange. I made Megan pull over. She’s a doctor, and she assured me I wasn’t dying. But I wasn’t sure. So I sat there, about to pass out, when suddenly: FARRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT. I let out a 20-second fart from the pits of hell. “It was just a fart panic,” Megan said. Ultras are the best.

That is pure, grade-A ingenuity right there. When you marry a handyman, you aren’t just marrying a partner—you’re marrying a personal research and development department. There is nothing sexier than a man who sees a problem in the yard, walks into the garage, and walks out twenty minutes later with a custom, custom-engineered tool made from spare parts. What you are looking at is a homemade deep-root watering spike. When you plant young fruit trees, surface watering often leads to shallow root systems and high evaporation rates. By converting an old metal watering wand, smashing the tip to hold pressure, and drilling targeted holes along the shaft, he built a tool that delivers hydration directly to the root zone where the tree needs it most. It saves water, promotes deeper root growth, and helps the orchard survive the hot summer months. It is the perfect balance of practical farm life and a husband absolutely showing off his skills. You can't buy that kind of thoughtfulness at a big-box store. For anyone looking to replicate this brilliant DIY build, here are a few expert tips to maximize the design and keep your young trees thriving: Tips to Enhance the DIY Deep-Root Waterer Deburr the Holes: After drilling the water holes along the shaft, use a small file or sandpaper to smooth down any sharp metal edges. This ensures the wand slides into the dirt smoothly without catching on roots or tearing up the soil. Add a T-Handle: To make pushing the wand into hard or compacted soil easier on the back, consider adding a secure T-handle or cross-bar near the top grip. This gives you extra leverage to use your body weight rather than relying purely on arm strength. Control the Flow: Adding a simple brass shut-off valve right at the base of the handle allows you to easily turn the water on and off as you move from tree to tree, preventing mud splatters and saving water in between tasks. Calculate the Spacing: When drilling the holes, place them primarily on the lower third of the pipe. You want the water dispersing deep underground, not bubbling back up to the surface near the top of the grass line. A little creativity goes a long way. Having a partner who can build exactly what you need is a total game-changer.
