If scammy, semi-fraudulent watch sites constitute our dystopia, I’m relieved. These scams are as old as commerce. Just more easily propagated using modern tools. They’re the reason Consumer Reports and reveiw publications exist. Caveat empt

I wonder how you would determine this, given that free parking is a substantial sunk cost which would otherwise discourage car ownership in favor of fewer vehicles or other modes? I grew up in Texas and saw what seemed to be a substantial o

As per my mother over Thanksgiving break, I did not have trouble breast-feeding, just to be clear that that is not alway present, particularly in mild-moderate cases. A tendency to mouth-breathe and ear infections are both symptoms in youth

And yet, we’re ill-equipped at diagnosing why children might mouth-breathe. In my own case, this year I finally discovered a life-long moderate tounge-tie that prevented me from resting my tongue on the roof of my mouth. This led to a tongu

Money alone won't solve the problem. If the system is efficient, you need just a certain amount of money to solve the problem. If the system is corrupt / unaccountable, there are endless pockets to divert the money into, and no am

Yeah, if only there were some way to tackle that ratio by adding more residents. More housing means more places to house the homeless, and a broader tax base to support them by, thus making this an easier problem to solve. https:/&#x2

Having read more about the mechanism of suckling, it seems even more clearly important to the development of the jaw, because the baby uses their tongue to draw the milk out of the nipple, which requires applying pressure with the tongue fr

Agree you're correct. My broader point is that the actions are quite different and express different forces on the jaw, triggering different growth.

Yeah busterbaxter has it right, Orthotropics is the name. I push hard on the roof of my mouth as often as I’m able and have it in mind, as firmly as I think I safely can (bone is sturdy but I imagine it is possible to over-stress it), becau

Another major aspect of jaw development is tongue posture. Resting the tongue on the roof of the mouth and breathing through your nose results in increased jaw development, e.g. a broader palate, thanks to the bone's natural response t

Babies' milk-drinking actually also has an effect on jaw development, because of the pressure generated when suckling on the breast. Think about the mechanics of breast vs bottle feeding: while superficially similar, one requires the c

The argument is basically an example of Gresham's law, which is used to explain why value-backed currency often loses out to fiat currency. IMO this doesn't apply to cryptocurrency because Gresham's law was formulated in cont

I don't find this argument persuasive. If the currency is liquid, you can simply spend the new currency rather than the old, while using the old currency you would have otherwise spent to acquire the new currency. The spending will hav
