3 minutes is just enough time to stand up, walk around a bit, rest your eyes, stretch, and get a drink of water. That's probably what I would do.

It is bizarre. GP is, as you said, "either grossly misinformed or purposefully misleading readers". There is plainly illegal activity in those emails, and massive evidence of electoral fraud. But whatever, it was the blue team tha

I would still rather have sex with real women, 18 hours a day. I'm sure VR porn will be big, but I don't think it will be possible to perfectly replicate sex without somehow directly intercepting signals to the brain. Standing the

One of the most disturbing stories that I don't hear mentioned is of Sean Baker, who was working undercover for the USAF as part of an attempt to gauge the abuses at Guantanamo. Baker was beaten by the guards so badly that he got a ser

In the short term I'd recommend doing relaxed dynamic stretching on your wrist and fingers every few hours, massage your forearms by hand or with a roam roller, and consider wearing wrist bands if that's where some of your pain is

Have you worked in education? By self-directed, I don't mean let the kids roam the streets. For example the teacher and student would decide on a project individually or in a small group, then pick any resources the student might need

I agree completely. I did reread GP's post later and notice he probably didn't imply what I thought he did. There are few things more vital than education, and that will pay back to society at a higher rate, so by all means spend

Sure, and I'd love to pay teachers better too! But why does what I'm envisioning even necessitate an increased number of teachers? The teachers should tend toward being generalists, and part of the school's hiring process wou

Sorry, I should have been clearer. If you accept the idea that a child is re-victimized by the viewing of child pornography (which, as I understand it, is one of the justifications for the criminalization of viewing child pornography), then
