I've heard many times from motorcyclists that "it saved my life" because of the mental break. Then from non-motorcyclists, "you're going to die!".

BMW F900XR. I did a 4-day (over 2 weekends) learn-to-ride course and it took so much physical and mental coordination that all I thought about on those 2 weekends was motorcycles and slept deep for 10 hours each night. Snapped me out of the

Made tens of thousands on online poker from 2002 for about 5 years. Then the gov't decided online poker is bad. Meanwhile 20 years later if you watch sports on TV, every second TV commercial is a sports betting website.

I'm usually anti-regulation and very pro-capitalism, but the feedback loop has to work correctly. Positive feedback for positive things, negative feedback for negative. If the system goes off the rails, such as monopolies in capitalism

The folks who are downvoting you need to google "board of directors liability". If the Board doesn't act in the benefit of shareholders, they'll get sued to oblivion.

Weird thing is, it’s not a myth. Maybe flexing muscles is the same mechanism you describe where it’s stretching the skin. I think the PhD author hasn’t spent enough time in the gym to have muscles large enough to adequately stretch skin :)

Yes for sure. From China, to free markets, back to China. I think we’re already seeing the effects on Hong Kong. No so great.
