Stressi on sen verran monimutkainen ilmiö että vaikka tutkimuksen ostaisi sellaisenaan en jaksaisi muuttaa mitään. Purskaus akuuttia stressiä—vaikka tutkimuksen 20 minuutin verran—voi olla rentouttavaa pitemmällä aikavälillä.

Kävin kerran sattumalta kahvilassa joka oli suorastaan vuorattu Rockwelleilla. Aika lailla teki mieli pois heti kun possumunkki oli syöty.

The Wendover backlog is p GOATed on logistics stuff, from firefighting to failures of hurricane Katrina response and NYC water supply and avoids many of the traps generally plaguing urbanism tubers.

Lots of essays aren't even persuasive in the way people appealing to them would hope so we end up on the level of "this reminded me of someone else's personal experience". Or the relevant portion is just some random paragraph better cited directly.
