How fast is your digestion?


It can run the 100m in 12 seconds.

But quickness of my digestion aside, it's more a question of what is your body going to do with the energy it's digested from your food at that time of night? Store it obviously


And what will it do during the next day while your fasting ? use it..

Presumably this also helped Microsoft pivot into reaping machines.


of course, you reap what you sew.


> turn the fan on when you poop

Windows also work well.


A window might blow air out, but it also might blow air in. This would result in drawing your bathroom air deeper into the house instead of exiting it. A proper vent fan will undoubtedly move the air outside.


> A proper vent fan

I don't think I have ever, in my life, been in a bathroom with a "proper" vent fan. AFAICT by observation, regulations must require a fan that makes seems to only make "chugchugchug" noises while seemingly doing nothing to the air.


Lots of vent fans in houses tend to not actually vent anywhere, or they're covered up with insulation. I know I had to dig my vent fans out when I moved into my house. Uncovering them led them to be much quieter and actually exhaust from the bathroom.

Good bathroom ventilation is important. Controlling humidity is a big thing, but also properly ventilating things like acetone or hairspray or other things along with bad odors is important.

I do a lot of house repairs. I don't think I've ever seen a bathroom fan that goes outside except in mobile homes. They just vent into the attic. Same with many kitchen fans. They should all go to the outside otherwise they could cause moisture issues in the future.


My great-great-grandfather too.


Nice. This should make coding interview take-home tests a bit simpler.


It can be helpful to tell smokers that.


I've yet to find a smoker who would agree it's helpful.

I've yet to find a smoker who doesn't know that quitting would be good for them.


As a smoker, just no.

> Personal names will sometimes be translated - depending on when the person moved or decided to present as.

E.g. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabel_II_del_Reino_Unido


Or Cristoforo Colombo, aka Christopher Columbus


Historically it's more common than not. E.g. most names of European monarchs are translated.


Popes too. Pope John Paul II was Jan Pawel II in his native Poland, Giovanni Paolo in Italy, and so forth. Pope Francis is Francesco in Italian and Francisco in his native Spanish.


If a Pope has one most proper name, it would have to be his name in Latin: Ioannes Paulus II, Benedictus XVI, Franciscus.


Certainly.


I was recently reading a Spanish newspaper that referred to Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry as Isabel and Enrique.

It was a little surprising since I’ve only ever seen the Spanish kings referred to as Juan Carlos and Felipe in English-language media, never by translations.
