Entering pedantic mode: "But," in Paul's usage, isn't a preposition. And starting sentences with prepositions isn't considered "incorrect" by most grammarians[0]. Or even bad style. If it's good enoug

There are so many complications when it comes to REALLY understanding the health effects of weed. The science is really tough, and underdeveloped. One problem is that there are so many varietals, and so many different vehicles for administr

My bad, about the Epstein thing. Ungenerous assumption on my part. Sorry!

Lived in China for a while. Us (admittedly, extremely white) American ex-pats had a very fratty attitude toward "the baij." Maybe it's because we could only afford the cheap stuff — but any baijiu we got our hands on was real

One advantage of paper maps, for me, is that they're much better at installing a 'model' for a city in your head. With digital maps, I can navigate from place to place to place pretty easily. But then I retain virtually no in

Oh, people on such plans incur massive bills all the time. Suppose you're in a bicycling accident, you're knocked unconscious, and an ambulance takes you to a hospital that isn't in your insurance network. Boom. Out-of-networ

Wow. Lived there for years, studied Chinese, and never noticed these little variations of thickness / weight / line height. What a cool peek into the obscure subculture of sign-crafting!

Wish more people talked about / knew this! How a big part of the reason the US healthcare system sucks is just a weird fluke of history!

I don't think the issue is so much that cities are too lenient on these people. It's more that the resources available to them are both inappropriate and inadequate. My wife works at in-patient psych unit in my town. Granted, we e

Someone should do an anthropological study. "Final Fantasy? The Enduring Influence of JRPGs on Web Development Practices."
