Olav Strand, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, inspected the site on Sunday, and said the animals appeared to have died “as if someone just turned off a switch.” The air was filled with a smell that seemed both sweet and sour, he said.

Waterworld Movie Review & Film Summary (1995) | Roger Ebert
We couldn't really decide on a movie last night so I had the family watch Waterworld. Even though it's kind of terrible, it is also sort of fun. I went to Box Office Mojo and learned that it made over $100 million in profit.

Do Only Half Of Your Friends Like You?
I find it comforting to realize I'm not the only one that misjudges relationships. "In only 53% of the cases were friendships scored 3 or above on both sides. According to the study authors, "These findings suggest a profound inability of people to perceive friendship reciprocity, perhaps because the possibility of non-reciprocal friendship challenges one's self-image."

The Plot Twist: E-Book Sales Slip, and Print Is Far From Dead
I know we have not been using our Kindles as much since returning from the ME. "The surprising resilience of print has provided a lift to many booksellers. Independent bookstores, which were battered by the recession and competition from Amazon, are showing strong signs of resurgence. The American Booksellers Association counted 1,712 member stores in 2,227 locations in 2015, up from 1,410 in 1,660 locations five years ago."

The Futility of the Workout-Sit Cycle
The main conclusion is that vigorous physical activity (the more explicit, clinical term for “exercise”) doesn’t cancel out the negative impact of time spent being sedentary, which appears to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (the leading cause of death) and diabetes, even among people who exercise regularly. In a press statement, the chair of the group, Deborah Rohm Young, the director of behavioral research at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, put it this way: “Regardless of how much physical activity someone gets, prolonged sedentary time could negatively impact the health of your heart and blood vessels.”
