Treat declarative statements as questions?
You should be able to write out "Ctrl+Shift+." elsewhere and right-click paste into the shortcut editor.

I was getting the same annoyance with "Ctrl+Shift+3" appearing as "+#"

Thanks, you just gave me flashbacks of having the same feelings when I played it. Nostalgia with extra -algia 🥲

Very similar feeling to actually scuba diving IMO. The part about gradually getting more confident more than the part about staying on top of survival

Seems to be working. Looks like a better solution, thanks!

Oh great, thanks! Maybe this is the sign to look for a better method to preview final plot sizing than the camcorder hack 😅

Agreed. Metadata compliments data interpretation

(can we call things like effort/intention, environmental context, etc. as 'metadata'?)

Oh they did at least propose updated estimates by performance level in a subsequent paper

At least they used the 5-min clearing effort before the 20-min TT? 😅

aaah, so that's why every year I briefly look around at modern mobos but end up sticking with my 10 yr old Asus with onboard optical to drive my 20 yr old Logitech Z-5500s😅

Really interested in learning about this. Way above my pay grade though 😅

More on conservative management and return to sport guidelines after surgery
Recently published from my (eventual) PhD thesis 📚📑

Review of conservative treatment (CTx) for Flow Limitations in the Iliac Arteries (FLIA, endofibrosis) and proposal of Return to Sport (RTS) guidelines after surgery

Here is what we learned🧵👇/14

Conservative Management and Postoperative Return to Sport in Endurance Athletes with Flow Limitations in the Iliac Arteries: A Scoping Review - Sports Medicine
Background Flow limitations in the iliac arteries (FLIA) is a sport-related vascular condition increasingly recognised as an occupational risk for professional cyclists and other endurance athletes. S...

Figure 3D shows total work kJ is basically constant across loads under cuff occlusion, supporting W'bal model

Apart from 80%1RM, in which reps were low enough that a missing fractional last rep would meaningfully reduce total work

@matthewfliss.bsky.social any more thoughts on this?

Oh good thoughts, thanks Cap. Something like that seems likely given motor unit recruitment with fatigue. Would larger MUs recruited at lower forces lower effective COT during a prolonged task?
