I'm similar to you there; the old addage "one is too many, two is too few" (or whatever the current version of that is) always ruled my drinking; I didn't need alcohol, but when I started I'd keep going - nice to ha

Is that a case of missing externalities? The person who pays in this case is the pedestrian, and the courts do not seem to value pedestrian lives the same way that they value someone's ability to legally drive - that must drive down pr

Regardless of whether or not it's actually true, I think there are enough people who believe it to be true that it will stick around; and people believe it to be true because they think they see examples in real life - that's why

I disagree; in that if they try and sell the rights, they're trying to get out of their obligations to make the content available - that's the point at which it should be blocked; or the new rights holder needs to pick up those ob

Nitrates in meat have long been known as a problem for other reasons too, haven't they? Particularly with regards to various digestion related cancers - this gives another reason to cut back. The linked artical is a bit ambiguous thoug

I've had content insurance as a renter before, and it was useful (my flat was burgled; my flatmate did not have insurance). That was a while ago, when things like CDs were still targetted by theives, and I got everything replaced, whic

Closed captions also provide hints as to non-dialog audio; song lyrics, musical tones, important noises in the background etc. Personally I always use subtitles, and closed captions if it's available; there are quite a lot of audio clu

you will need to tell us your location; it will vary greatly across the world. In the UK, for me, diagnosis wasn't too hard via BUPA - my phsychiatrist seeing me for my other mental health problems recommended me and it was relatively

do you find that todo lists help you? I certainly agree with calendars/alarms but todo lists for me are a place to put things instead of doing them and then they become a separate problem all of their own

I (and OP if they'll forgive me speaking for them) are aware of that - but when you start to call copyright infingement "theft" you are combining two different legal issues. And whilst IANAL, my understanding is that copyrigh

YouTube Premium also provides access to YouTube music, which many people will not want; if Google split YTM from YTP I think they would have an easier case to argue that everyone should either watch ads or pay the premium price.

I think this is making the mistake of conflating piracy with lost sales; there is only so much money to go around, and saying that a pirated view is lost revenue is missing the point that that person was never going to pay for that particul
