I think they're referring to the hypocrisy of compelling vaccination on someone if you support the idea of bodily autonomy.

That doesn't account for why the font affinity carries over to the rest of the test, which is why they propose multiple theories, but aren't sure.

A different take: videos of horrible things show rare insights into behaviors that are only visible before the horrible thing. For example, how a robbery goes bad and ends up as a multiple murder. Or how someone will hide and wait to kill s

I'm aware :) It sounds like the message here is "it's probably already been done, but I can't prove it, but i don't like the implication that it isn't already patented."

I guess I should have looked through all 59,855 patents before commenting!

Someone should patent a rooftop landing guide apparatus for drones that can be retrofitted on buildings. A drone would use it to visually sync with it to know where it should land, and deposit the package into a standardized climate-control

The funny thing is, I agree with your comment. Which is why I'm so confused about someone who sees an air purifier that is clearly made for purposes other than aesthetics and says "I don't want it because it's ugly.&quot

The low-income people are often the most impacted when an emergency hits. I'm sure if someone had $1000 for an air purifier, they could get one the next day, in most circumstances. Though I'm not low income (now), I got a reminder

You're misquoting me. I never said they were extremely fortunate for choosing one model over the other, I said they were extremely fortunate for "being able to choose form over function." When wildfire season rolls around and

Protip: you can turn a box fan into an incredibly effective air purifier[0] (particle measurements in thread). The one they show is pretty elaborate, using 4 filters and some construction, but you can also use a single filter and slap it on

Thank you! It's incredible how once BTC lost the $20k support, it fell down to the next nice round significant-ish number, ~$19k. The psychology of this seems to be very powerful.

What is the psychological phenomenon called for when an asset prefers nice round numbers?

You're right, they aren't! Which is why Musk wants to buy them and hold them to the standard of a de facto public townhall.

I don't think there is a phrase for it, but I can see why it would be a common misunderstanding to think that that is "free speech absolutism." As far as I know, there is no concept that requires a private citizen (A) tolerat

This[0] appears to be a good explanation of what a "free speech absolutist" is, and it isn't "you have to allow free speech in all settings by everyone" 0. https://www.liberties.eu/en/stories&#x
