This article makes me think of the sci-fi book Ethan of Athos. "The population of Athos is sustained using uterine replicator technology. [ ... ] Through military and community service, Athosians earn "Social Duty Credits" to

In my town, you'd build houses on it. The vacancy rate is under 0% and small, dingy houses sell for about $600,000.

Hold the camera higher so you're looking up at it. Up-the-nose shots are most people's problem. It's really unflattering.

For three people like in the demo video, if you rotate 90 you have to come in close to get a well framed shot and then their outfits aren't in the frame. Not important to everyone, but definitely important to some.

They're shaped to your ear canal. It's mostly surface area and friction holding them in. They really don't pop out that easily. A motorcycle helmet will do it, though.

It's slightly different when you get into the range of millions and billions of dollars. If you're investing 100,000, you're better off with an indexed mutual fund that charges .03%. If these funds can consistently return 10%

Are you talking about Victoria? Because I hear lots of complaints from people living here that they can't get a GP, waits are awful, etc etc. But I pretty much always get in to see a doctor within 45 minutes if I drop in, and every tim

"...after a $4 check she wrote to buy coffee for herself and a friend tipped her checking account below the required minimum..." How are people using checks to pay for coffee? I haven't been able to use a personal check for a

> E.g. someone loses their job: "see, I told you it would have been better to work 2-3 jobs. You relied too much on your only job." It is a bad idea to rely too much on your job. You should have investments and multiple strea

The thing is, for people with kids, at least half of their motivation for showing up to work is getting away from the kids for a couple hours. (Exaggerating, but still).

You honestly have more power to make this happen than you think you do. Write a petition, see whether you can find any people who think it's a good idea, go to a town hall with your evidence, call a contracting company to ask how much

As a cyclist I'd personally ask you to go with an ebike rather than a moped, just because they take up less space on the path. With enough mopeds, the bike roads can be almost as scary as the car roads.

Vote for bike lanes, traffic calming, traffic violation enforcement, and cities built for humans instead of cars, whenever you can.

Hmm, interesting point about listening to the same songs every time. I used to have youtube on shuffle as my go-to work music, but eventually a bad song would come on and snap me out of concentration. I found that a few songs and albums wor

It's just about leaving room for boredom in your brain. When your mind has nothing else to occupy itself, it cooks something up on the fly.

I honestly don't think education is the point here. _Dogs_ don't shit where they eat. Pet rats can be persuaded to poop in their cages and not on your couch. There's some kind of pressure happening here that the researchers f

Public urination is illegal in most places, you get a fine. I wouldn't call it common, I'd call it something that happens in alleyways, under cover of darkness, and only when the man in question is desperate and judgement impaired

This opens the door for unintended side effects and cargo-cult behaviour. Not recommended.

If the road has to close because of a traffic accident, that makes it less useful too - especially when it seems to happen almost every day. A road with less throughput that at least keeps moving can be better.

This is great, I've been looking for something just like it. Once invoicing is included I think I'll try using it, I'll donate as well.

Certainly. I had a client who did that (www.greatervictoria.com). He makes decent money at it. I've also seen it on, for example, mrmoneymustache.com and theartofmanliness.com.
