Personally, I'm on a tight Things.app <-> Bear.app loop; professionally, it varies. For keeping professional stuff up to speed I'm on a Things.app ingestion -> Asana loop that throws off artifacts to a google drive and various git repository markdown files, which might be writing new documents or keeping existing documents up to date.
Helium has a lower condensation temperature than Natural Gas, so when they make liquid natural gas for shipping, they can take out some percentage of the helium relatively easily and more with difficulty.
"Over the follow-up period, there were 341 deaths from cancer: 154 among participants who took vitamin D (1.1%) and 187 among those who took the placebo (1.4%). Although this difference was not statistically significant, the difference in cancer deaths between the groups started to widen over time, the researchers reported.
The researchers plan to follow the participants for another 2 to 5 years, to see if a statistically significant difference in cancer deaths emerges. Laboratory studies have suggested that high blood levels of vitamin D may decrease the aggressiveness of cancer cells and the likelihood of metastasis, explained Dr. Manson. If so, longer follow-up will be needed to assess its effects on the risk of death from cancer, she added. Other studies have suggested that regular use of vitamin D supplements may reduce the risk of dying from cancer, she said."
So they're still continuing to follow that up long term to see if it has a longer term effect.
I have a side project that I've been working on which is re-implementing a couple of old rails4 projects that old customers still use in Phoenix/Elixir. It's been going pretty well.
I'm also working on a generative mobile game in react-native, which is fun but is taking a while to do.
waffle.io was github projects, built on top of the github api, a few years before github projects. basically a github-based kanban board. It was pretty great if you were a smallish startup.
I worked at a small startup that used it, and I didn't see the point. It was clever in how it provided an alternative interface to GitHub Issues, but to someone who was already familiar with GitHub, it didn't really make anything easier than just using the normal interface. There are things I hate about GitHub Issues, but this didn't solve any of them.
Plus, an add-on service like that was just begging for GitHub to add the feature themselves, so the company always had an end-of-life looming.
One possible exit was GitHub buying them, but I'm sure GitHub would rather build the feature natively (as they did, right?) for technical reasons. Another is expanding to a standalone service, but GitHub and Trello already owned each side of that space.
It always looked like a technically interesting product but one that I wouldn't use myself and which had no future.

the tunnel was always sort of dumb, but seattle had a really reasonable traffic growth plan for its expected growth. the actual growth has been way higher than the plan.
