> who logged sauna sessions via connected apps

It seems you ask participants to log if they went to sauna. Out of curiosity, why is it not simple to also ask for a type?

i was mostly refering to humidity/duration/temperature given that most devices do not report back these values

I'm equally confused as the other person above. Why not just ask participants to report what type of sauna they used? Sure humidity/duration/temp would be awesome to have, but at the very minimum knowing if a dry sauna would get the same results as a traditional steam sauna.

There's quite a wide range of variation between "full dry" (no added humidity whatsoever) and "full steam" (an actual steam room, rather than a sauna). Just asking people was it dry or was it humid won't capture much of that variation. I have a steam room at home and have been a near-life-long lover of them - they are wildly different than a sauna. But I'd still rank a sauna where someone had dumped 1L or so of water over the heater to be "humid", and consider it also very different from a totally dry sauna.

What if they jumped between saunas? And with self-reporting, the more you ask I guess the less precise the result... Sensors, however...

What’s stopping you from using those?

And Surfer, the OG content optimization platform.

It’s possible

Possible but unlikely. The midterms are going to get actually stolen by Republicans, 100%.

Because to 99.9% people it’s obvious and fair to assume that person asking this question knows that you need a car to wash it. No one ever could ask this question not knowing this, so it implies some trick layer.

Only if you push it down the mountain. Then it’s also susceptible to crashing and breaking down.

Normally what you do is you have to push the snowball manually. The bigger it gets, the more people you need to push it in a coordinated manner.

I think it’s excellent metaphor.

it's irrelevant for this discussion, as it's not for sport but other purpose

It is relevant to the broader discussion about universal ethics, though.

This was headline news in Poland

I kind of did that back in the days when they released Worker KV, I tried to bulk upload a lot of data and it brought the whole service down, can confirm I was proud :D

what were your symptoms?

First year:

Very covid-like symptoms, to the point where I initially did a quick home covid test (or multiple tests if I remember) that was negative. Very distinct soreness around the crease of the hip/leg joint, probably a lymph gland.

Second year: exact same symptoms but less intense, still started antibiotics immediately

third: again same but less intense, I ignored it until general full-body joint pain occurred then immediately went on antibiotics, after a few months of that it started to clear up.

Glad that your lyme was temporary

Lyme disease and bacteria are always temporary. The long term disease/syndrome many people attribute to it is something else similar to long COVID and still debated.

This is the one area where the CDC actually does have accurate advice, Lyme is excellent at hiding itself from your immune system and tends to burrow into joint tissue where antibiotics have difficulty reaching. DON'T assume the disease is temporary, as the bacteria is well-known to cause lasting nerve damage even after it dies off completely. I have more than one friend who wasn't as lucky as me and still suffers with symptoms to this day.

Having done the research myself, it seems to be biofilms that the bacteria create leading to a "dormant" yet still metabolically active state that releases inflammatory byproducts throughout the body.

The recommended course of action seems to be disulfiram to bust those biofilms + antibiotics to finally kill it all off.

In my understanding (from some years back when I was researching this myself), Lyme takes multiple forms, and in some phase in their life cycle are able to hide inside red blood cells. Antibiotics work only for some of the forms.

Lyme Disease has existed for a very long time, it is always treatable by antibiotics and can be tested by tests. Antibiotics work.

Some researchers think that the difficulty in healing Lyme disease is related to the fact that Lyme changes form and antibiotics only target some of the forms. In some countries, doctors are forbidden to make long-term prescription for antibiotics based on the idea that chronic Lyme does not exist.
