Love the window seat
O.W. Root Verified account @owroot Jul 11, 2025
The window seat on a plane is an incredible modern blessing. Imagine our ancestors getting to take in such a view. They would have been stunned, speechless. And yet, some close the shade and do what? My God.

I can't understand those who shut the shade, and shut out the world.

"Unravelling cysteine-deficiency-associated rapid weight loss"
"conditional cysteine restriction resulted in the most substantial weight loss [...] amounting to 30% within 1 week. We found that cysteine deficiency activated the integrated stress response [...] leading to the induction of GDF15 and FGF21"
