This also describes Arizona saloons. Though I guess they frequently have a food truck as the 'kitchen', but if all you want is free salty snacks there's that too.
I am literally inside one right now lol

Anyway the best chicken burrito I've ever had in my life was from a food truck in the parking lot of a Cottonwood saloon!! No kidding.
Now this is a state-by-state thing. Saloons aren't legal in every state. In Virginia, you have to both serve food from a kitchen and get a certain percentage of sales from food if you serve booze* but they are many in which this is not the case.
The White House denied Iranian state media's claim of a draft MOU for peace negotiations
A statement on X (Twitter) declared: "This report from Iranian-controlled media is false, and the MOU they 'released' is entirely fabricated.

The purported document indicated the U.S. would remove its naval blockade on Iranian ports and withdraw troops near Iran

In return, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within a month
A senior official noted the MOU allows the U.S. 60 days to finalize an agreement and obligates Iran to "give up the nuclear dust"

You're exhausted.
You're reading more. Praying more. Serving more.
And somehow feeling further from God than ever.
Here's what nobody told you:
Trying harder is not the answer.
Jesus explained the entire secret of the Christian life in one sentence in John 15.
And it has nothing to do with effort.

Most Christians live like this:
Wake up → try to be more patient
Fail → feel guilty
Try harder → fail again
Read more → still feel empty
Serve more → burn out
Wonder why God feels distant
Sound familiar?
This cycle has a name. It's called striving.
And Jesus never asked you to do it.
In fact, John 15 is His direct answer to striving.
He didn't say "try harder." He said, "Stay closer."
Those are not the same thing.

John 15:5 — the most liberating and most terrifying verse in the chapter:
"Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit."
Then:
"Apart from me, you can do nothing."
Not a little fruit.
Not smaller fruit.
Not less impressive fruit.
Nothing.
This means every moment you spend striving in your own strength, every self-generated effort to be holier, kinder, more disciplined, produces exactly nothing of eternal value.
Zero.
Not because you're lazy.
Because you're disconnected.

Backprop is the engine of deep learning, but neuroscientists have insisted for decades that the brain can't do it. There are no dedicated "error" neurons or backward wiring.
What if the brain doesn't compute error in space, but in time? 🧵

In "This is how the Neocortex Learns," Randall C. O'Reilly presents a unified theory showing how the mammalian brain approximates backpropagation.
It uses temporal differences across a 200 ms cycle to bypass the need for explicit error-representing cells.

The math relies on an implicit error state:
Error ≈ Activation(plus) - Activation(minus)
Instead of separate error neurons, the same cortical cells represent predictions (minus phase) and outcomes (plus phase) at different moments, driven by bidirectional pathways.

Roman Lavrynovych and Stanislav Carpiuc were convicted today, while Petro Pochynok was cleared.
The press claims they were elite Russian agents.
Yet, Met Police Counter Terrorism Commander Helen Flanagan explicitly stated there is zero evidence of state backing. The motive was purely financial; Lavrynovych acted for crypto to pay medical bills.

Court transcripts revealed that Lavrynovych did not even know who Keir Starmer was at the time of the fires.
He explicitly testified to detectives that he held no ideological motive and felt severely threatened by the handler, stating he acted out of fear for the safety of his grandmother with whom he lived in London.

Taurine is one of the most important nutrients for the brain, serving a number of protective roles in cognitive aging and stroke.
(🧵1/7)

I was surprised to find out that taurine is actually the second most abundant amino acid in the central nervous system, behind glutamate.
Taurine levels in both the cerebrospinal fluid and certain brain regions are lower in people with Alzheimer's disease.
This has important consequences.

This has important consequences.
Supplementing taurine has an important neuroprotective effect.
This study showed that ~5-6g of taurine (human equivalent) per day in animals increased a key glutamate receptor (mGluR5).
Studies show that there is 43% reduced binding in hippocampus of this receptor in Alzheiemer's.
This receptor is incredibly important for maintaining synaptic plasticity.
Taurine was likely able to do this by its ability to reduce excitotoxicity - a process where excessive glutamate and calcium poison neurons.

insisted on a proper policy process beforehand,he might have learned that. He didn’t, bc work bores him & he doesn’t read. So he trusted Netanyahu & his own gut

To solve aging, we first need to measure it. Excited to share our study in @NatureMedicine! Different cell types age at different rates within our body. From a tube of blood, we track aging across 40+ cell types, from immune cells to neurons, revealing signatures that forecast disease risk and resilience. @wysscoray 🧵1/9
Aging is a central driver of many diseases, from neurodegeneration to cancer. But not everyone ages along the same trajectory. Why do some people remain resilient while others become vulnerable? 2/9
Aging is not a single clock ticking uniformly across the body. It unfolds across biological scales: cells → organs → individuals. Lifespan reflects the integration of aging rates across these levels. Cells shape organ function and disease vulnerability. So we asked: can we measure aging at cellular resolution in humans? 3/9
