For years, he’d read about this maze, carved through the sandstone by rushing water. But his first attempt to find it led to a dead end. Then, in 2000, Brick found a way in. … The thermometer gave him a surprise: The water was about 20 degrees hotter than it was supposed to be. It was more like the groundwater of Mississippi than that of Minneapolis. Something was warming the water beneath his city. Brick was determined to understand what — or who — and why.” [// Atlas Onscura »]( [/lifehack] [StackSocial - Here’s what Google Drive isn’t telling you | [Partner]]( [Here’s what Google Drive isn’t telling you]( They’re overcharging you. Big time. Most cloud storage plans are. This one from Internxt won’t — and they’ll even give you more space than most of those other services, too. We’ll do the math for you. Google Drive 2TB storage: $9.99/month. Internxt 2TB storage: $130 for life. After two years, the plan starts paying for itself — and you’re keeping it for life, so why not cut back on years of subscription fees?

The research, led by a team from McMaster University, compares the effects of 12 weeks of short-interval HIIT with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), demonstrating that HIIT offers notable benefits for stroke survivors.” [// Athletech News »]( [/throwback] [Geologists crack a major Stonehenge mystery | Popular Science]( [Geologists crack a major Stonehenge mystery]( “One of the many archaeological mysteries at Britain’s Stonehenge has been solved. The site’s six-ton Altar Stone hails from over 400 miles north in Scotland, not from Wales or other closer areas of southern England as scientists previously thought. This trek points to the possibility that more advanced transportation methods and societal organization existed here about 5,000 years ago.” [// Popular Science »]( [/trippy] [StackSocial - Do you think this newsletter was written by AI? | [Partner] ]( [Do you think this newsletter was written by AI?]( It wasn’t! But with Undetectable Humanizer — an app that transforms raw AI output to human-like writing — you wouldn’t actually know. The irony is that it’s actually powered by AI, but it uses unique custom-trained algorithms and advanced ML models to translate choppy robo-speak to more natural human-sounding words. It helps SEO content rank in Google and even bypasses most major AI detectors. So, still not sure if this ad was written by AI or not? Guess you’ll have to try it for yourself to find out.

Last month, it hit a milestone by opening up its robotaxi service to everyone in San Francisco, when before it was limited to a waitlist. So all eyes are on Waymo right now — and apparently, all ears are, too. Beyond all the honking, of course, there's also plenty of back-up beeping and flashing lights.” [// The Byte »]( [/bites] [// Speak 25 languages, impress your friends.

Here are the ups and downs (and results) over the first 90 days. To start, I spent ~$5k and hired a writing coach. It seemed like a crazy investment, but I had tried and failed for a DECADE at social. The first five posts were the hardest. It was important to set the tone of what was to come. For me, that was being as vulnerable as possible about the Founder journey. The response was wild! I reconnected with old bosses, former colleagues, college friends, etc. Month 1 Conclusion: This isn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be?! Absolutely worth the stress. Month 2, on the other hand, wasn’t nearly as “easy”...
