Realized that the reason kids don’t think they’re tired when they’re up really late is basically Dunning Kruger applied to sleep deprivation: They’re too tired to recognize how tired they are.

The Cure for Poisonous Cider

Interesting story of a vanished disease called Devonshire colic, caused by drinking poisonous cider and relieved (in part) by soaking in the hot springs at Bath…

When the Cure for Poisonous Cider Was Hours of Bathtime

…because it turned out that the colic was actually lead poisoning from the cider-making equipment in Devon, and spending all day in water, like living in microgravity, causes bones to shed some of their mineral content.

Weird bug

Weird bug I saw today. Looked like a moth as it flew past me, looks like a pair of twigs on the wall.

#iNaturalist suggests it *is* a kind of moth, possibly a plume moth of some sort. I don’t think I’ve seen a moth whose wings roll up forward before.
