Finland the happiest country for the seventh year running. "Yet some argue that the real reason is that the Finns sweat out their negative thoughts. Finland has roughly 3.5m saunas, more than one per two Finns." I enjoy sauna and it is notable that it is extremely meditative, which we know has benefits, and notably you phones and mobile devices don’t even work in them. Coincidence or part of the benefit? 🤔 image https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/04/04/the-secret-behind-the-worlds-happiest-country

Cool to see the Apple Sports app just got support for F1! 🏁 This app is how I connect to almost all sports I care about now.

This Airbnb in St. Augustine has a great vibe. The tiny pool is actually a “cool tub” with a chiller for the hot summers.
