I've been thinking a lot more about internal comms lately... 🤔 What tools do y'all use to communicate with other people at your company? I've been playing around with @Threads the last few days and I'm really impressed so far.

What’s the optimal time to eat before bed? I’ve noticed that, on occasion, when I eat late I end up with indigestion and it negatively affects my sleep quality 😕 @m_franceschetti is there research on this?
