@bhalomanush Hello doctor, I have been eating eggplants very regularly all my life. Does that mean I will not get cancer? woweee!
Read more@supremus We are getting close to being empty nesters and are thinking about downsizing - maybe a cabin in the woods within an hour from a small-midsize city.

Read moreThis thread… so true. No sense in denying that we have irreversibly changed the planet for worse and it will not get better any time soon. twitter.com/bhalomanush/st…
Read more@bhalomanush This is sad but true. Our kids are screwed. They will be living a very different and comparatively difficult lives. I was advising my 15 yr old yesterday never to buy waterfront property or anywhere less than 200 ft above mean sea level. ☹️☹️

Read more@StargazerRob I have heard from people that whiskey makes nice art like this too.
Read more@gauravsabnis Definitely true. Bought a bunch of astrophotography equipment that I was putting off for later.
Read more@supremus Did you see that 46 year old gymnist from Uzbekistan, Oksana Chusovitina, do her final vault last night? Incredible. Just watching her made my bones ache.
Read more@supremus This applies not only to athletics but, to arts too. I know someone with PhD in economics, worked at Fidelity and also played violin at Boston symphony orchestra.
Read more@supremus Yes, the number is small but not zero. My point is that the kids should be encouraged to give their best shot to both and not restrict them to one or the other.
Read more@supremus Not as rare as you think. Katie Ledecky is working towards becoming a physician. I personally know a world famous scientist at NIH who financed his education by bike racing.
Read moreAll you parents who are telling your kids to focus on schoolwork and not on athletics, here is an example of someone who did both. The Tokyo Olympics gold medalist in Cycling road race, Anna Kiesenhofer also holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics. 👏👏👏 twitter.com/UCI_cycling/st…
Read more@bhalomanush Unlike other professional cycling races, in Olympics, the cyclists don’t have any communication devices to communicate with their teams. So, on long races like this, they can have some competitors slip away and not know about them. :)
Read more@bhalomanush The funniest part was that when the Dutch cyclist Annemiek van Vleuten (who was a favorite to win) crossed the finish line, she didn’t know that Kiesenhofer was ahead of her and thought that she won the gold medal but, she had secured the silver medal.
Read more@bhalomanush Kiesenhofer who is no doubt a great cyclist, also holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics. 🤓🤓 Unlike other countries that had teams of 3 or 4 cyclists, she was the only competitor from Austria. That means no help from teammates.
Read more@bhalomanush The women’s road race was equally incredible. The winner, Anna Kiesenhofer of Austria was not on anyone’s radar. Everyone was sure that the race will be won by one of the Dutch women.
Read more@bhalomanush Till about last 20kms, it seemed like Wout VanAert who won the silver medal was in control of the race but, then Carapaz and McNulty took off and created chaos. Finally, McNulty couldn’t keep up with Carapaz. It was fun to watch it.
Read more@bhalomanush Tadej Pogacar who won Tour de France won the Bronze medal at the Olympics. They are incredible athletes. Let’s not forget that the Tour was a 21-stage race over 3500+ kms which finished less than a week before the Olympics road race.
Read more@k_rupal @gauravsabnis Thank you. We are heading out there again in a week and planning some activities.
Read more@gauravsabnis did you guys do the puffin watch with Hardy boat cruises? @k_rupal
Read more@bhalomanush @supremus Maybe the lamp got ordered in another such interaction at another time. At least for me such miscommunication with Alexa is quite common.
