Would like to have written this game. My kid is completely 'in' Fortnite. Going to full-day (bilingual) school next year just to make sure he has something better to do every afternoon than playing.

I will replace my 1080 TV when it breaks. It has already failed once, the LED backlight replacement cost 1/5 of the a new TV. Next time it goes to waste (the bulk is mostly aluminum anyway).

I was a visiting professor in a local university for a while. The student evaluations were directly proportional to the grades - easier courses = better grades. I refused to see the evaluations and refused to discuss them with my supervisor

Student debt plus the skyrocket price of real estate worldwide is killing this generation. Low interest means no retirement, also. How lucky I was to be able to save money in the 90s. Worried about my kid, though.

The conflict is simple: parents are stimulated to give the best upbringing possible to children - the prize is standing out the crowd - but at the same time it does not make much sense to be #1 in a wasteland.

Yeah, I have heard that argument from many friends. This is the failure mode of current civilization - child rearing has been made too damn expensive and even a legal liability for responsible people, while irresponsible people reproduce li

That was the only one thing me and my wife were in complete agreement - 0.5 sons (either 0 or 1). Did vasectomy 2 months after kid was born, because I knew she would change her mind :D And no, I won't reverse, I am deadly afraid of nee

I learnt a trick with the "Schindler's List", that tended to mention characters with full name - get to know the surname, which helps to memorize the first name, perhaps because it creates a hash list of ethnic origin inside

In Brazil we see the name of recipient and we must inform the identity of the recipient (11 digits for persons, 14 for businesses) and everything has single or double check digits.

Somewhere around that. There is an "Angst" in society, deep inside we all know that there isn't a sunny place for everyone, while in the surface we pretend we can do it like the Baby Boomers. Making people SJWing around dog r

Social Sciences are the quintessential BS job generator. It serves a purpose but not the one it thinks it does.

Games are a lot like movies industry. #metoo's, low median pay, too many hours put into flops. This kind of effort is best financed by deep pockets that can eat the loss. One area you might reuse your talents and efforts, is gambling i

I think that some changes in traffic aim to optimize the instantaneous speed, while it should aim to minimize the door-to-door time. Driving 1km@10km/h takes 6 minutes, while driving 5km@30km/h takes 12 minutes, and you might end

Two anedoctal stories of mine: a) I do some consulting for a healthcare company, and bill them by the hour. It is very difficult to reach 60h/month, I managed to get that once, and it translated to an incredible amount of work. Initial

Automatic gears are much better for parking, etc. in particular when you have to park in a gradient. I've always longed for an automatic, bought the first when I could, and convinced the rest of the family to do the same with "tes

This is almost a tautology; of course not working, not doing anything at all would be less stressful. But work is way less stressful today than, say, two generations ago, yet people are falling like flies. I don't deny the problem but

I am Brazilian and it's been a year since I went into a bank to do anything. All expat friends say that Brazilian bank system is the best. This has a specific reason: inflation in 1980s imposed fast banking service.

I have an YouTube channel, mostly for personal stuff. I did some effort to record some videos about several subjects, none had more than a hundred viewers. Then, in a sudden, a very shaky and short video with a Mallet steam locomotive punct
