I had to take a real journey to get down to the letter that actually mentions this, lol. But I love Savage Love

In case you missed it, this is an excerpt from a book, "Eight Bears", which sounds very interesting and is now on my Goodreads list.

People keep saying this but this has not been my experience anywhere. Where do you see this? What gets me a pretty nice little airbnb, private room with kitchen and bedroom and working space, only is going to get a sort of crummy hotel room

Wild to think about the fact that there were people living there who would have seen (or been buried) by that. Same with some of the cataclysmic floods and other events that came with the end of the last ice age.

Does this help you coordinate your core muscles around your diaphragm with the rest of your body?

Yeah, a sad but probably true aspect of that book was the way that only wealthier people could afford access to reliable information, and everyone else gets their info from the free streams which are full of garbage and lies.

I don't think so- everything will be encrypted, lost, deleted, or on degraded unreadable drives. And what access do biographers have to the email accounts of people today? People used to leave behind a lifetime of paper notes and corre

So many societal issues can be explained by the fact that the conditions that we're living in now are so different than the conditions under which we evolved for hundreds of thousands of years. And also the fact that we were naturally

Only tangentially related but I think it's interesting that just as we popularized the word "Ms.", and I think it makes perfect sense not to refer to women primarily by their marital status, we sort of worked around the issue

I always wonder, when people were spreading across the Americas/world for the first time, did they move huge distances in a single generation? Or travel a bit, settle down, then the next generation traveled a bit further and settled do

People are nostalgic about bad 90s web design, but I don't think anybody is arguing that it's superior to anything newer. I can't imagine that people will look bad fondly on cookie banners, intrusive ads, janky page layout sh

Ah yes, you surely won't have to download any tooling to compile some random language to wasm.

Looks like North Cascades' huge lead (in deaths per visitor) is sort of a statistical anomaly due to having pretty low total visits and no buffer of a large number of safe casual visitors. Searching around, can't find any other de

Agreed. I wonder whether that stat is per-bag though, because you end up with three times as many plastic bags

Seems like in the 90s we all had the impression that paper bags came from chopping down rainforests, and we should use the "recyclable" plastic bags. Turns out we just swallowed the oil industries BS, and we should just be support

Never, as far as I know. All the vaccines and lots of masking, even still. But I can only attribute it to luck, since I've traveled quite a bit and even had some known exposures at different times, like at the gym. But I also work main

Yep. As soon as I hear the opening melody in Hand Covers Bruise, I know I'm about to start typing and not look up for 3 hours.

It's sure nice that humans don't need any sort of social contact during the day to be satisfied. We evolved to spend all day quietly reading a small glowing rectangle all day after all. Spending most of one's life at a small
