Resistance training rejuvenates aging skin by reducing circulating inflammatory factors and enhancing dermal extracellular matrices.

Have definitely noticed that women who lift look significantly younger compared to same-age women who do not…so, makes sense.

I’ve never seen it, but I understand there is some survival show called Naked and Afraid.

Just for fun, I want to make a variant of it called Half Dressed and Mildly Annoyed. It’ll be a bunch of people wearing short shorts and crop tops while baristas mangle their orders or fast food restaurants forget their fries.

I am sure it’ll be a hit.

The first ten on today’s playlist:

Not that I’d need it now, but there should be a dating service that only accepts women with no tattoos and no plastic surgery. These days, though, that’d be a very small percentage of women. If I needed it, though, I’d pay a whole lot for it. We’re talking high five figures if I were looking for a relationship. Tattoos in particular for me kill all sexual and other romantic attraction immediately.

What should the criteria for men be there? The same? Doesn’t seem quite commensurate but not sure.

Gave my resignation. Ruined my manager’s personal plan and they’re now trying to make my life hell. How do I not burn bridges?

Just use another person you worked with as a reference and leave immediately. I’ve been in this situation before and did exactly that. That bridge is already in full conflagration. Pro tip: if someone is burning you now, they’ll burn you later; the bridge is irrelevant at that point.

A two-week notice is a courtesy, not a requirement (in the US, other countries differ). Get the fuck out. I know American workers have been so crushed they feel like oppression is de rigeur, but at lot of that is like a dog that has been beaten so much it flinches when anyone raises a hand. As someone in the comments said, “Nuke that fucking bridge.”

That’s what I do and it’s never been wrong.

People would trust science and scientists more if they didn’t routinely claim things that are obviously absolute dooftastic horseshit like that there are no differences between generations.

When there are huge, obvious, and persistent differences but you can’t fill out your little Excel spreadsheets right to measure them, the problem is with your spreadsheets. Why that is not clear I haven’t a clue. Some people are inclined to place way too much trust in Excel even when reality is smacking them in the face so hard witnesses are calling domestic violence hotlines.

That’s by far the best live cover of that song I’ve ever heard. That drummer is amazing, far better than the actual drummer of Metallica.

Three sisters from Mexico. And they’re great.

Struggling with cultural differences at a new job.

This sounds great to me. I don’t like or want casual chatter, and I don’t want to be friends with my colleagues. To the extent that the team I manage engages in this sort of thing, I just ignore it (they can do it if they want, but most don’t). In Slack, I have all the useless “chatter channels” on permanent mute.

I don’t work to make friends, don’t want work friends, and simply do not have time for MBA-type chitchat.

For my minimal social needs, I have plenty of friends outside work. As a commenter pointed out any work “friend” would toss you away like garbage if it was between paying their mortgage and you. It’s always wise to remember that.
