Really long form podcast<\/strong>
I just finished listening to a 5-hour podcast interview by Lex Fridman. Lex is an AI researcher who started interviewing colleagues in his field, and then kept expanding his reach and interests. He now interviews intellectuals and thinkers in many technical fields, from biology to cosmology to philosophy,\u00a0 usually at great length (many hours). Lex\u2019s questions are often clumsy and awkward, but going long allows him to get deep, and often intimate. He seeks answers to hard questions. While he sometimes interviews famous pundits, he usually speaks with really interesting people you\u2019ve never heard of. The payoff is that his\u00a0Lex Fridman Podcast<\/a>\u00a0keeps me informed about \u201cbig questions\u201d stuff. \u2014 KK

Search research papers for a consensus<\/strong>
Consensus.app<\/a>\u00a0is a search engine that extracts, aggregates and distills findings from 200 million peer-reviewed scientific research papers to answer your questions. It\u2019s still in beta, so there is disclaimer that the results are not meant to be taken as final truth, but more of a reflection of relevant research relating to your query. I love using other search engines besides Google whenever I can. Here\u2019s a list of other interesting\u00a0search engines\u00a0<\/a>we\u2019ve recommended in the past. \u2014 CD

Leaky faucet fix
<\/strong>Our showerhead was leaking, even after I replaced the rubber washer.\u00a0YouTube informed me that I had a scarred valve seat<\/a>, which is the brass ring that is supposed to form a tight seal against the washer. I bought a\u00a0reseating tool<\/a>\u00a0for about $10 on Amazon, which smoothens the surface of the valve seat. It worked, and saved me a $150 plumber visit. \u2014 MF

Different types of therapy<\/strong>
Here\u2019s a great jumping off point to learn about\u00a0different types and approaches to psychotherapy<\/a>. I have been hearing from friends about Family Systems Therapy and\u00a0looked it up here<\/a>. I also really appreciate this article on\u00a0The Elements of Good Therapy<\/a>, which should be empowering, non-pathologizing and collaborative. \u2014 CD

Maker nerd newsletter<\/strong>
The Prepared<\/a>\u00a0is a free weekly newsletter about manufacturing, materials, engineering, infrastructure, factories, and the built world. It\u2019s put out by hardware nerds. They also have a great cool tool review section on their website. The newsletter is insider talk about professionals making stuff for real. I look forward to it every week. \u2014KK

Get more awe in your life<\/strong>
According to this\u00a0Guardian<\/em><\/a>\u00a0article, \u201cregular doses of awe may be vital to our wellbeing and make us nicer people.\u201d The article includes a list of different ways to experience the shivery, goosebumpy feeling of awe, including attending live performances by skilled people, watching nature documentaries, and listening to music that gives you the chills. \u2014 MF
