I have observed empirically GMVH in cats. Female cats were more "standard" in behavior, and held their own much more consistently. (This is NOT to say that they were run-of-the-mill; every one of them had pretty different personal

In pt_BR we sometimes call this kind of people "iron ass" (cu-de-ferro), particularly in the context of school.

Please discount the fact that I am a bit of a misanthrope, but... who the hell enters in a relationship not expecting to get something in return?

Anticonceptional techniques are IMHO the game changer. Humans have always tried to limit their offspring. Once it was possible without extreme measures, parents prefer to pour more resources on fewer kids. My wife haven't worked out a

Wrote my master dissertation in LyX, it was great. The LaTeX-specific features that LyX did not support, I put in a "preamble". Never had a problem and it even worked on a then-rare iBook (2004).

My estimation was more optimistic (50k/mo = 600k/yr), but yeah, the less you spend the better.

I have a slightly more convoluted explanation: There are two types of money. Capital money (or seed money) and income money. People don't understand the difference. When you win the lottey, you get seed money. This money is "worth

I refuse to go to USA as a tourist, because demanding a visa is outrageous to me. If you want me off your country by default, fine. I go to Europe instead :D And the practicalities are also a problem: going through this visa process again w

For the comments I can see that do many people are trying to excuse the "left" government instead of proposing solutions. This explains alone how we got in this situation.

He cannot because it is not true. Even the leftists (the true-blue ones) admit that left leaning governments have dropped the ball big time regarding security. As other comments already clarified, 90% of the problem is drug-related, the cor

Yeah, but it is not acceptable to try to boost natality by denying opportunity to 50% of adults. My response would be "ok, you don't want me to be a productive member of the society in the way I wanted, I won't be in any othe

I just saw myself licking the thumb, putting the arm out of the window, waiting a bit and thinking "ok the thumb got chilled enough so it is great time to pay that bill".

The loss aversion is almost trivially explained by the marginal value theorem. The subjective value of money is around log(money), that is, a meaningful change takes an extra 0 in the paycheck or in the price tag. So, if you have $200, gett

I am Brazilian but I really appreciate punctuality, to the point of walking away from a date because she was 15 min late. I have friends that are more or less punctual, and others that are always late. One characteristic of the latter is, t

Excess money was absorbed by real estate price increase. It takes time, but this will tricke down to inflation; everybody needs to rent or buy a place to live at some point of the future.

Same in Brazil, with the additional complication that public servants/pensioners are the top of pyramid.

Bulb efficiency and bulb life are at odds. In railroad signals, the practice was to use low-power bulbs that barely glowed, and lasted basically forever(nowadays it is all LEDs, Iguess). I am sure no one wants 5W bulbs glowing deep orange a
