After traveling across Japan from its southernmost tip to northernmost tip last year on motorcycles with no smartphone and no maps, Ludwig Ahgren and Michael Reeves are attempting the same but in China.

Old Computers Sucked is a cool series about using an old computer as period-accurately as possible. Another fun one from this guy is The 1994 Debian Experience.

By far my favorite policy proposal, framing it historically.

From the video description:

We're swimming in conflicting nutrition advice, so why not go straight to the definitive source?

I sit down with Dr. Walter Willett, Professor of Nutrition at Harvard, and the most cited nutrition scientist in the world. With a half century of research & data from hundreds of thousands of participants in the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, Dr. Willett has done more to define what a healthy diet actually looks like than almost anyone else in history.

We cut through the noise of internet fad diets to discuss what the highest-quality, long-term data actually proves about longevity, chronic disease, and what we should put on our plates.

We cover:

Carbohydrate Confusion: The crucial difference between whole grains and potatoes (and his new 2025 substitution study).

Protein Sources: How beef is the most pro aging food.

The Truth About Fats: Reflecting on the landmark 1993 trans-fat paper that changed the food industry (and the massive pushback he received).

If you want rigorous, peer-reviewed science rather than the latest social media trend, this is an interview you cannot miss.
