This post by @genmon resonated: I recently used the AirPod hearing test which showed very low hearing loss on average but definitely a measurable drop on high frequencies. In both cases, it feels like a good opportunity to provide context using all of the other data they have: how does this compare to what's expected of others with your age & similar physical stats?

I’m feeling better about our 2006 Subaru – every time I’ve driven a newer one, the computer has felt like the opposite of a selling point.

“people think the long-in-development ITER fusion reactor will cost between $40bn and $70bn once developed (and it’s shaping up to be a 20-30 year project), so Microsoft is spending more than the sum total of humanity’s biggest fusion bet in one year on AI.”
