In moments like these, it's never clearer that the majority of political commentators don't have values - they have allegiances Very few 'commentators' are actually consistent and coherent in their arguments. Instead, they adopt whatever narrative suits their tribe at the time

Ah, it’s that time of year when Jeremy Clarkson reminds us that you don’t need academic qualifications to succeed in life. Just a very expensive education and high value social networks.

It would be extremely dangerous for less experienced and less prepared climbers and trekkers to believe that the use of xenon would allow them to forgo proper physical and medical preparation and acclimatization when going to high mountain regions.

Insightful and worthwhile correspondence regarding xenon use in high altitude mountaineering by prof. Burtscher in @NEJM Xenon — Propelling Climbers to the Summits of the World’s Highest Mountains? nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Unpopular opinion... This is such a joke. The time limit has been known for months If teams cannot plan for this with performance strategies, then they should be at a disadvantage and in danger of their riders going home OTL.

The UIAA Medical Commission recommends against the use of xenon inhalation in preparation for or during expeditions to high altitude unless part of a controlled study with appropriately qualified medical support such as anesthesia personnel.

Someone into stats needs to do a short video on why the differences between the (2 or 3) very very best are greater than the inter-individual difference amongst the (still elite) next tier down. Spoiler - it's all about the tails!

Going to the swimming pool on a rainy Sunday was not my best ever idea… 30mins queue to get in with my toddler shouting ‘out the way…I want swimming’ 🙈😅

Again, for those at the back, chatbots are designed to mimic speech and conversation - that's it. What they say is only designed to sound like something a human would say / type. They are not designed to tell the truth or give accurate information!
