I think sleepwalking _is_ a defined thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepwalking What Zaphar is describing is not true sleepwalking, it's just that he was awake such a short time that he didn't form me

Idk, I'm so tired of NewYorker-style liberal's attempt at humor about other political groups. It's disrespectful because they don't show that they've attempted to actually think about the issues, they're just k

Yeah! I did my senior thesis in an 8-person biochemistry lab, graduated in 2009. I was probably solidly in the bottom 2 students of the group. I was just as smart as my labmates, and I had a lack of attention to detail and a weak work eth

Herodotus was fantastic because he was the first historian, but he is seriously lacking as a historian if you judge him by modern standards. That doesn't detract from him as a great man and an intellectual pioneer, but it does mean we

Is the grammar in this headline really awkward to anyone else? "Uber says gave U.S. agencies data on more than 12 million users" Either it should be "Uber says they gave" or "Uber gave". :/

So--- we should both encourage flexibility in jobs. But we should also encourage a more equal split in custody. If 82.6% of custodial single parents are female, we're doing something wrong.

For #2: What do you mean by check points? Which planets would you build the checkpoints at? When you say "atop", do you mean on the planet's surface, or in a polar orbit, or in orbit generally?

From the first episode of The Magicians, two students reason about being a brain in a vat: Quentin: "Am I hallucinating?" Elliot: "If you were, would asking me help?" So, I either I don't understand Putnam's ar

Hell yeah you can. I'm the first to recognize that tech (and especially tech in Seattle) is a small town. But, really, who is going to remember the one person who quit on their first day because of a bullshit exploding offer? The hiri

That's doubtful--- it's young white men who tend to execute mass-shootings, and the officer in question knew he was responding to a mass shooting.

Right. And really, this is why I'm mostly against the Iraq war, or the Iraq war as-it-was-executed. But like--- does the Arab world even have a culture of democracy? I think if we waited for that revolution to happen, we would still be

Safe driving distance! Yeah, that's huge. I am strict about keeping a 2.5-3 second distance. On the other hand, my cousin is a slave to the speed limit--- but that means when we carpooled to Portland during friday rush hour, he set i

The speed limit was once informed by traffic safety engineers, but has been artificially lowered by environmentalists (gas engines are most efficient at 45mph) and "safety at all costs!!!!" politicians. Which is why I think littl

Overall, I'm against the Iraq war. But... I feel like an egalitarian Arab should have supported the Iraq invasion. Saddam was cruel to his people, his sons would crash weddings and rape just about anyone. The new Iraq government stil

Just a small note, hypo is the opposite of hyper. Hyperthyroidism => more active & nervous, hypothyroidism => less energy, more weight gain, cooler metabolism so you want to stay under blankets all day. I had mild untreated hypo
