Juul might be big tobacco, but Juul or any tobacco company didn't invent vaping or make it popular. Juul jumped on after it was already popular and allegedly marketed it to kids. For a long-time big tobacco saw vaping as a threat to th

I have a different opinion. Anything learnt will improve your thinking and help you learn new things. A kid who goes on to become a truck driver might never directly use algebra on the job, but learning algebra has shaped their brain and wi

Does it matter if the non-water particles aren't plastic? It might, if we evolved while drinking water with the same non-water particles then they should be fine. If the non-water particles only turned up recently, like microplastics,

Demara reminds me of the 90s show The Pretender, I'm going to assume Demara was the inspiration. That show was lots of fun. And there was an episode of M.A.S.H clearly inspired by Demara. Someone impersonating a surgeon, getting caught

It's probably covered in the articles, but Cliff changed how everyone approached multi day ultra marathons. I was a kid when he hit the news and didn't appreciate what a legend he was. I only recently read about what he did and wa

testosterone doesn't just help with building muscles, it helps with muscle recovery and creating red blood cells. I would guess there's a sweet spot in distance where the finish times in men and women are closer, but considering t

It's just a sentence, not a detailed essay of my thoughts covering all the bases. I was thinking along the lines of everyone working fulltime for a single employer. Uber drivers are contractors apparently, but if uber lets them work 4

Yes, everyone should have the opportunity for education, but if no one can live on the pay of an uber driver so everyone skills up to get a better paying job, who will drive the ubers? I think everyone working fulltime should have a liveabl

Oh, I was confused by your comment at first. I was looking for the reference to the academic/scientific paper in your comment but got to the end and wondered if the comment was truncated or something. Then I got it, the Sunday Boston g

Talk to your workmates and boss about the advantages of doing regular code reviews. You review their code, they review your code. Nothing too formal or in-depth, best done frequently before additions get too large, but I guess you also don&
