I think we may be able to say that someday, the science is new and evolving but it looks like microbes shape our behavior (edit: and emotional health): https://www.science.org/content/article/evidence-mounts-gut-..

Completely agree with this; it should not be experienced as a videogame, it should be experienced as a real responsibility as in, "This is what I'm 100% focused on because it's the most important thing I'm doing right no

Funny enough VCRs had this decades ago, the double-fast-forward skipped forward a few minutes. Why e-readers can't do this with a similar symbol to skip forward 25 pages is a mystery to me.

Two things: Once, when facing a great personal crisis, I found some wisdom that helped me reframe my worries and fears: "Why do you spend all your time worrying about the blizzard on top of the mountain? Go around the mountain." S

It might be for balance despite the small size. On the human side, our pinky toes are important for balance despite appearing a little bit vestigial.

No, the Northeast. A general rundown that mentions the post-2008 building shortfall: https://www.npr.org/2022/03/29/1089174630/housing-shortage-n... This one's older (from 2020) but digs into detail

I am just not sure about this. There are more Millennials than Gen X, and Millennials are in their prime family-building and house-buying years. At the same time, in the aftermath of the Great Recession, not much new housing was built. The

This - I wish they had categories for "host lives here too" and "this is a boarding house." You can usually figure it out by scrutinizing the reviews, but I'd like to see it overtly stated.

Reviews of the hosts are already informally available in the reviews of the rooms and apartments. It's the number-one thing I look for when booking: the reviews should be raving about not only the place, but also the host. If this is n

This is a good point. If doctors start writing sanitized notes or leaving things out, it would be net negative. US patients can get their full medical records by requesting them from the office, and the notes are in there, but most patients

I keep an old phone on airplane mode with a backup of my 2FA codes in my Auth app in case my current phone dies. Peace of mind. Totally agree with the other commenter about using multi-factor authentication in most cases. I do not leave mys

I'm reading The Once and Future World by J.B. MacKinnon, and I'm reading extra slowly because I'm enjoying it so much. It's about nature, how we're wired to think the wild landscapes we grew up with were pristine, h

+100 to visiting all the schools after you apply. I believe it signaled serious intent to the departments where I applied and gave me a chance to explain my non-traditional background in person. Ended up attending a school in a location tha

Agree on the educational impact likely turning out as an utter disaster in the long term. I wish it were more measurable, but the article rightly points out it's hard to quantify effects (lower future income, etc.) that haven't fu

Yes, we need to take massive action now with what we have, while also developing future tech like better transport for solar energy. Pushing for further delays based on “future tech will save us someday” isn’t anything I support. It’s dishe

The problem is threefold. We need: 1. ventilators 2. PPE 3. healthcare personnel (respiratory therapists). In the short term we should train existing doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in respiratory therapy ASAP. But wi

Cool, thanks! I think it's a little different from Kickstarter since with per-creation, supporters are still charged for every creation even if they may not like some of those creations. Whereas if I fund a Kickstarter for a board game
