"We don’t incinerate foods, we DIGEST them, and the efficiency of said digestion is multi-factorial, the result being that we probably absorb about 90% of the caloric energy from the food we eat."

How small is the difference between people?

"In fact, genetically, we are among the most similar at all species. Only one out of every 1000 nucleotides that make up our genetic code is different. One individual, um, another. These look like penguins have twice the amount of genetic difference. One from the other than humans. And these fruit flies, ten times more difference. Any to fruit flies maybe as different genetically from each other as a human is from a chimpanzee."

TL;DR: Southwest Airlines is the Texas electrical grid of travel.

"Southwest is highly unusual. Their IT is almost entirely homegrown, with software they built themselves. It’s creaky and antiquated – you’ll observe this if you watch their schedules. They’re irregularly and manually loaded into the system."

"Southwest is essentially a short and medium haul airline. They mostly don’t do long haul services except for Hawaii. Southwest turns aircraft quickly, in less than 30 minutes. They have higher aircraft utilization than any other major US airline. They often run their crews on tight loops where they’re out from home and back the same day so they can save money on accommodating crews who overnight away from their home base. This is all really clever and it works really well until it doesn’t."
