Here’s a yucky sewer story, but it doesn’t answer the first question that came to mind as I was reading it: What do these bacteria excrete?

Technological Progress
…and the global sex recession.
As the machines get better, this is just going to get worse.
Overrated Restaurants
A top six.
I’ve never had Papa John’s, or Chipotle’s and it’s been years since I ate at an Olive Garden, but that’s Patricia’s complaint, too (she used to have a boss who loved to go there for lunch). I concur on the fries at In’n’Out. I like Chick-fil-A, but don’t worship it. I only go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast (and rarely — there are none in LA of which I’m aware, and we have better chain places here, like the Black Bear Diner).
But I don’t eat out much in general unless I’m traveling, because it’s terrible both for your budget and from a nutritional standpoint. Unless it’s some kind of exotic cuisine, I can cook much cheaper and healthier at home, and don’t have to endure the noise of restaurants. The notion of going out for a steak seems absurd to me.
[Late-afternooon update]
Sorry, here’s the link.
Toxic Anti-Masculinity
Thoughts on the need for both masculinity and femininity from a (female) psychotherapist.
And Kurt Schlichter writes that we need to retoxify it.
[Update a while later]
Heh. Least masculine society in human history is concerned about “toxic masculinity.”
And this will be fun: Harvard could be sued under Title IX for calling traditional masculinity “harmful.”
Semen
May cure depression in women. I’m willing to offer my services.
I’ve seen previous research that pregnant women who continue to be inseminated by the father of their fetus have less morning sickness. That might make evolutionary sense.
Age-Reversing Gene Therapy
…may be available in the mid-twenties. Barring any major unexpected issues, that should be in time for me, if it happens.
The War On Keto
I guess Jillian Michaels is upset that people (literally) aren’t buying her BS.
Vitamin D
Do we actually need to get out in the sun even if we supplement?
Great. I supposed I should be taking nitric oxide, too, though.
The Case Against Carbohydrates
And this wasn’t another crap epidemiological study. It was controlled.
Aging
How old are we when we’re old?
I’m well into my sixties now, but I don’t feel old at all. Or at least, no more so than I did twenty years ago. In some ways, probably because of improved diet, I feel like I’m in better shape. I do need to work out, though. I’m planning a lot of business travel this year, and starting a new space venture, and I feel as up to it (perhaps more, given my experience) as I ever have.
