I think the language we'd use around person C depends on the context. "Gay" and "black" are fine to say at a bar but weird in a more formal setting like a courtroom or company-wide presentation. There's a ton o

A metric I've thought about is, how much extra energy is circulating in earths systems per degree of temp change? 2 degrees does not sound like a lot but when you think of how vast the earth is that's a lot of extra energy in the

Estimates put the number of women who have survived sexual assault as high as 1 in 6, so it's likely there are survivors in your workplace. It sits in a grim area of being a serious crime and quite common.

I've commuted on both and feel safer on a Vespa too, but realized that led me to more dangerous behavior. For example, taking busier roads, riding when it's dark and rainy, etc.

Helps to think about it like this: if you averaged 60 MPH on a two mile drive, your trip would last two minutes. Since your first mile was driven at 30 MPH you've already been driving for exactly two minutes. The only way to hit an ave

Most likely they’re just killing people in smaller cars, deaths from car crashes are higher in the US compared to other developed countries after all. Americans seem to enjoy a good arms race.

I thought that was the most interesting part of the article. Anyone know where I can learn more about how unreliable it makes carbon dating and what far future civilizations will be able to learn about when/how our civilization lived?

I've always assumed cash-only businesses are up to something mildly shady, like tax evasion (local example, Paseo). Also, I've encountered a couple card-only businesses lately (local example, Optimism Brewing).

I think there's a disagreement in the US about the severity of crossing the border illegally. Some people consider it a minor offense like jaywalking or driving 5mph over the speed limit, while others believe it's more akin to the

The book goes into it a bit. Some of it is status (i.e. people wanting others working under them, even if it's pointless work), other times it's to claim they care about something even if they don't (imagine a company that pr
