seeing conor with tim grover ahead of the comeback fight just feels right
those 2 lit a fire in me almost 10 years ago
made me want to take myself seriously and go after bigger things
tim’s books changed my life
re read them at least once a year
betting on conor🗡️
using a sauna 4 times per week sounds like a relaxation hobby until you see the finnish longevity data. then it sounds like one of the most powerful health interventions ever discovered
a 20yr study following over 2,300 finnish men found that those who used a sauna 4 to 7 times per week had a 40% lower risk of all cause mortality compared to those who used it once a week. 40 percent. from sitting in a hot room
the mechanism is heat shock proteins. when your body temperature rises significantly your cells produce these proteins that repair damaged proteins, clear cellular waste, and protect against future stress. its basically a repair and maintenance cycle triggered by heat
- 40% reduction in all cause mortality in the 20yr finnish study. thats a larger effect size than most pharmaceutical interventions
- increases growth hormone by up to 200 to 300% during a single session. growth hormone repairs tissue, burns fat, and preserves muscle
- improves cardiovascular function. your heart rate in a sauna reaches 100 to 150 bpm which is equivalent to moderate exercise. your cardiovascular system is getting trained while you sit still
- enhances the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which supports learning, memory, and neuroplasticity
- reduces inflammation markers systemically over time with consistent use
15-20 minutes at 80-100°C, 4 times per week. the finnish data is the largest and longest running study on sauna use ever conducted and the results are hard to argue with
most people think sauna is just sweating. its actually triggering a cellular repair cascade that reduces your risk of dying from basically everything by 40%
Your 6-hour flight from LA to New York is about to become a 3-hour flight. And it's legal because engineers figured out how to bend sound.
Since 1973 it's been a federal crime for any passenger plane to fly faster than the speed of sound over American soil. That's why your cross-country flight takes the same 6 hours it took your parents in the 80s. Planes got safer and more efficient. They never got faster. The law made faster illegal.
The original reason was real. In the 60s the government flew supersonic jets over Oklahoma City 8 times a day for 6 months to test public reaction. The booms cracked plaster, broke windows, and generated nearly 10,000 complaints. So the FAA banned the speed itself.
Here's what changed. The speed of sound isn't constant. It shifts with air temperature, which shifts with altitude. Fly high enough and fast enough in the right conditions and the shockwave physically bends, curving back up into the sky before it reaches the ground. The boom still happens. It just never lands.
NASA measured what people underneath actually hear: a faint rumble about as loud as normal street noise. No crack. No broken windows.
So the FAA's new rule flips the logic. Instead of banning the speed, it caps the sound allowed to hit the ground. Stay quiet and you can fly as fast as the plane will go. Boom already proved the tech works in a real test flight last year.
The last time you could fly supersonic, a Concorde ticket cost about $12,000 round trip and only crossed the ocean. The next version flies over land, over your house, and you'll never hear it coming.
Concordia University is now offering a course about Drake this fall 🎓🔥
The course will discuss each of his projects, analyze the success of his OVO brand, break down the power struggle between artists & the industry, and much more.
