Cannabis turns me into an introvert, but I can't make conversation without alcohol.

If electricity is produced cleanly I don't think it should be more expensive though.

That's such a backwards way of thinking about it, e-waste could be cut down so much if people only had one charger for everything. You're overstating the magnitude of a short term side-effect, instead of focusing on the long term

I DCA TQQQ, but you have to know that in 2008, for example, had a 96% drawdown. The triple leverage can basically wipe out your entire equity, so you need a strong stomach.

I mean, planes falling out of the sky is a fairly significant safety issue. "Safety of the plane" is misleading if there's people inside the planes lol.

Some piston engines are really high compression and it's hard to prevent knocking without leaded fuel.

That's false, and so is your metaphor.

Lol, that last point about undergraduate papers is exactly what I was thinking reading your initial statement. As a current student, it feels that sometimes we're forced to just generate something that looks plausibly like an argument

I think the root cause of homelessness is many things, but it's not the bare minimum cost of living. Not saying CoL isn't high right now, but it's not what's causing the vast majority of homelessness. Poverty? Sure. Home

I believe feeling good about the future with many specific reasons to feel good about the future is totally valid though. Ask yourself why people in the slums of Tanzania might not be "optimistic about the future". Is it because o

I mean they objectively provide a better quality of life to people... Not to pick a side, but there's pros and cons to it.

But a few cars of batteries wouldn't? Feels like that's not that much either but I haven't run the numbers.

Solar panels on top of the cars?

I'm not sure, it anecdotally appears to me that not-so-smart people tend to get angrier over political problems, for example, and just problems in general.

by M3L0NM4N 4y ago
This sounds pretty intuitive, that smarter people should have better lives in general.

Definitely sounds like there was some bureaucracy in there.

I wish more people realized you don't need necessarily batteries to store energy. There are mechanical ways to store large amounts of energy, like pumped-storage hydroelectricity.

Happiness is relative to other points in your life. If you want to be happy, find happiness in the simple things in life, and save money, when you save more money and advance through your career, you can increase your spending accordingly.

Probably one of the best things the math team has taught me after I left was to surround myself with people of the same desires, in this case, learning. I think that ideology truly paid off in spades throughout my life since then. I'd

I would say it understates the impact it has on the kids' lives. See my reply to gnicholas.

As someone who was on the team, the skills that allow you to excel academically in life are the competitive math skills. And to be honest, not only is the "honors stuff" and "common core" material deprioritized, it&#x2

The content that Frazer teaches should be standard, flat out. The competition style of math has so many more practical applications than the shit they call common core in the state of Florida. Now, we did all of Geometry and Algebra II (Fra

I mean, these are still kids in Gainesville, and about 80-90% of them come from one middle school called Lincoln, the best magnet program in Gainesville. He doesn't really "poach" kids as much as develop the willing ones with

We did take those, but the main focus of the math team is Mu Alpha Theta. I'm guessing it's a bit of a positive feedback loop of "we have the best material for MAO tests, and we place the highest in MAO competitions". Al
