What happens when you flush? Study reveals how toilet aerosols reach the breathing zone
Researchers from Flinders University have found that flushing toilets can release aerosols and bioaerosols into the surrounding air, with some studies detecting particles at heights corresponding to adults' breathing zones.

If you’re anywhere near Oslo, suggest you run to this show! Their 2024 LP via Mengi is some superb lushly circular breathing drones.

Why Britain is breathing the world’s wildfire smoke
Scientists say global blazes account for 10% of UK’s particle pollution – and climate crisis could make the problem worse

Copying all or parts of a program is as natural to a programmer as breathing, and as productive. It ought to be as free.

A declaration of 25 Field Medalists on AI and mathematics: “In recent months, the success of AI in solving major mathematical problems has made headlines even outside mathematical circles. But solving problems is only a tool and proxy for achieving the primary goal of conceptual understanding and insight. (…) Indeed, the mass production at faster and faster pace of "true/false" statements could destroy fertile ground instead of breathing life into new ideas.”

The trick is to keep breathing.

Just depressing for amateur bassmen like me: B.B. Kings cover version of "Summer in the City". Focus on how bass and drums are interacting here - they're breathing groove while poor tiny mortals like me are just stumbling through the songs. Sigh.

There's not a breathing of the common wind
That will forget thee; thou hast great allies;
Thy friends are exultations, agonies,
and love,
And Man's unconquerable mind.

Toxic metals lingered in Maui residents long after the wildfires
Maui adults carrying the most toxic metals were more likely to have abnormal breathing tests, and the pattern extended beyond Lahaina.

Two senators are out in the Capitol when one of them - Mitch McConnell - collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "I think Mitch McConnell is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a long silence; then the other senator says "OK, I should be able to say by the 4th August".

"Climate change bites again - and a long way from the fire. Particulate concentrations rise 2000km away both indoors and outdoors (but are not noticed by people breathing them), and impacts are not just on asthma/ VCOPD, but on admissions with pulmonary emboli, heart attacks and strokes."

Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work ... I did not, when
a slave, understand the deep meanings of those rude, and apparently incoherent
songs. I was myself within the circle, so that I neither saw nor heard as
those without might see and hear. They told a tale which was then altogether
beyond my feeble comprehension: they were tones, loud, long and deep,
breathing the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest
anguish. E…

By allowing higher emissions, you are not giving European car manufacturers more breathing space; rather, you are penalising innovation. And if you fall behind in the global race, this is no way to catch up.

Pyrethroids wafting out of a battery-powered Thermacell. This one can attach to my belt when I’m gardening. I have another for when we are dining out. They work great, but only if you’re OK with breathing pyrethroids, which are neurotoxins. #thermacell #mosquitoes #pyrethroids #repellent

⁠1. Had a nice nap
⁠2. Had a nice 2nd nap
⁠3. ⁠Had a dream that I was driving a motorcycle while my childhood friend and my cat in a deep river (as one does), when all of a sudden, the kitty went missing from the motorcycle. I got worried that I couldn't find kitty right away, so I drove up and down the river on the motorcycle at mach fuck, looking underwater and on the shore while flinging large boats and yachts out of the way while ramming into them (as one does), when finally I saw that kitty was swimming and breathing underwater right next to me while having fun chasing fish whole time The end
