@npub1psd…9sr7 dr. stuart mcgill wrote a fascinating book about the causes and treatments for back pain: https://www.backfitpro.com/books/back-mechanic-the-mcgill-method-to-fix-back-pain/. i stumbled upon his work through a podcast he did with eric cressey. he’s the real deal: an expert with deep understanding of his field, while having a broad knowledge to make new connections. my favorite fact in the book: neurons have finite bandwidth, which can be saturated by pain signals. sending healthy motor control signals through them will throttle the pain signals.

@npub1eee…e209 @npub1e4m…lcdh sure they aren’t identical, but there are similarities that i’m not sure have happened with any other product launches. it is fascinating. like now, we didn’t know how long supply would take to meet demand until it actually happened. some markets took years to be supplied. iphone manufacturing capacity doubled every year for a long time according to phil schiller. remember the hand wringing over this? https://apnews.com/article/0ab04091939045deaae6d5b7ba6487f1 or verizon?

@npub1e4m…lcdh @npub1eee…e209 the first year will be a lot like the launch of the original iphone, but the sales numbers will be only 5-10% if supply constraints are not addressed. maybe that is not so bad as people waited years for the iphone to roll out to their carriers? it will be hard to invest in developing for such a small installed base while big fish like the iphone are already out there. it’s going to be very interesting watching the situation develop.

@npub1vz5…qdta you say “i don’t know” a lot here, but what really matters is what is/isn’t probable because that is how decisions are made in an uncertain world. i think the ukrainians made well considered requests for the specific weapons that they thought would give them the best chance of success and they were mostly denied. their requests were inline with NATO doctrine, and the training they were given, so it is especially soft headed to criticize them for failing to execute a NATO offensive.

@npub1eee…e209 if the escape key is considered too extreme for the ipad w/magic keyboard, ⌘-tab must be downright witchcraft. they don’t even provide a vulcan death grip workaround for escape on pro products.

@npub1psd…9sr7 @npub14xk…ck50 the utility of the original idea would be worth it regardless, yet the nature of usb-c means that you could always use it as storage for another usb-c device even if the old iphone case form factor isn’t ideal. it couldn’t be worse than this https://i0.wp.com/www.sohrabosati.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Apple-Magic-Mouse-Charging_1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 😎

@npub1vz5…qdta fyi i really like this musician’s approach to describing the cyrillic alphabet https://artisticscoreengraving.com/2023/07/13/an-italian-cellists-journey-into-serbian-language-lesson-1/
