I had metal braces as a teenager, and now about 20 weeks into Invisalign as a 40 year old to close a gap from a lost tooth, and my god, the Invisalign is wonderful compared to the metal braces. Almost no pain, super convenient, and eating i

How does this compare to what SpaceX is doing? Does it make sense for NASA to be doing this in parallel with Dragon?

It was so cool, except that the scroll bars were terrible and it didn't work with existing email, so it wasn't really usable.

Very interesting and thought-provoking point. Although on the other hand, I personally think that Bill Gates, acting as a king and trying to figure out what he thinks will do the most justice and good, is going to do better for the world t

They are not counting arrests for possession prior to the change in law in the stat, so not a tautology.

Protein shakes that I'm aware of aren't attempting to provide a complete and balanced diet, they are attempting to provide a supplement.

I've been adding a couple of tablespoons of dark chocolate cocoa powder. The first couple of days, I was kind of barely choking it down, but by day 4, I woke up with a strong craving for it. Now, just over a week into it, I would cla

Probably doing anything because you feel obligated to or because you're trying to impress people sucks. Not sure if that is particular to cooking or not. I do think it's possible to find joy in learning how to cook a few things r

I'm not disagreeing with you, I don't think. I'm just pointing out that I don't think people having less kids means that they are poorer. As you pointed out, kids have gone from being profitable to being a cost, so it

We are not poorer now, but as you pointed out, children have gone from being profitable to being a burden, so no matter how much money we may have, there is less incentive to have children. I'm also thinking that back in the day, your

That's a really cool version, but you need to give some invincibility when you respawn, otherwise one death can be equivalent to 2-3 if there happen to be asteroids in the middle area at the time.

I don't think it's theft. It's people paying for variance/excitement. I don't think anyone really thinks they are going to gain money over time. The interesting thing to me is that probably the same people paying

I have a One World Football, and I have to say that it's pretty nice. I like the weight, the bounce, and the feel, especially for headers. I would use it in a real game if I could convince anyone else, but they all think it looks too

Doesn't that assume that you have enough money to properly diversify without the transaction costs being too much as a percentage? If you are going to buy 500 stocks to get the same diversity, then at $10 per trade fee, that's a

I think this could be more than just a substitute for responsibly exercising and interacting with a dog. I work at home and take my dog for plenty of walks and hikes, and do a lot of training with her, but she's very smart and food mot

That's not really comparable, though, because this video is going straight into a super reinforced wall. The Tesla accident was hitting the roundabout, going on into another wall, then going on into a tree, so each of those is much le

I would rather not pay someone (in the form of higher gas prices) to do something that takes nearly no effort, and I can damn well do myself. Who is so lazy at they can't get out of their comfy seat for 2 minutes?

The thing that I find so disturbing about all this is that it does away with the notion of providing value for value. These game companies are not trying to make the best game possible for their customers, they are trying to manipulate and

No other company can legally lay cable in the same areas as these companies. Same "natural monopoly" deal that governs the electric, phone, and water utilities.

They tricked him into admitting that he wrote the FB post by telling him that they'd let him go if he just admitted it. Another example of "Don't talk to cops!"

This has nothing to do with the free market. Both companies are government granted "natural" monopolies.

Make a medallion required for 30 days out of this month, 29 days out of next month, 28 days out of the next month, etc, until in 30 months, medallions are not required at all.

A lot of it is really good, but the part about boredom is interesting: “[M]ankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. This will have serious mental, emotional an

It might be interesting to see the same chart, but just for the subset of people getting STEM degrees. (Science, tech, engineering, and math.)

I don't think the issue is Steam deleting the game so much, since this game had always on DRM and the servers were going down. It makes sense to delete the game rather than dleaving an inoperable game around. The issue is more the al
