I watched the first episode or so and that was it for me. I don't remember it being super grim but it was too depressing and ominous for me.

I've always thought that you can lose weight on almost any diet - as long as it makes you think before you eat and almost by definition any diet will make you do that. For me at least most (probably all) of the time I eat it has nothi

This exactly. Politics on Ars makes me think of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. At some level of the decision making process for the publication you have to suspect that not only is being done just for engagement but also that there

You know how they say we only use 10 percent of our brains? I think we only use 10 percent of our hearts.

My favorite version of this was Deng Xiaoping who by the end of his rule had only one title - Honorary Chairman of the Chinese Contract Bridge Association. Warning: this is in my mental list of "things to good to check" so it may

Honestly AI with remote human assist or remote human with AI assist totally seems like the way to go to me. I mean they should be doing the same thing for truck drivers, train operators and airlines.

There was a debate with Mike Dukakis when one of the moderators asked if he would want the death penalty for someone who killed his wife. He gave some cold blooded answer. The real answer was probably - I shouldn't be the one who deci

I remember reading this - first thing I thought of too when I saw the headline.

I like it but it's not amazing. And I've seen it ... 4 or 5 or more times. It's just such an easy watch. I think the deal is that the emotional beats in it work so well that the plot can be set aside. It's also not a

NIMBYism is frequently driven by a small number of people who feel very strongly and use rules designed to protect minority rights to get their way. Is it democratic? I don't know... much of what's going on if put to a vote woul

I always think of a kid who was a friend of my daughters. He just really liked winning. I mean, when I was a kid and our team won a soccer game I was happy enough. This kid - if his team was playing a tomato can of a team and the score w

I have a friend who was a grade school teacher and she said grades K-2 kids are all over the map but somehow by grade 3 they're mostly all at the same level. Nothing to do with prodigies of course.

I didn't read TFA but I bet the guy got caught because he told his brother and 10 other people. The kind of person who does this is that same guy who doesn't own a TV and never seems to shut up about it.

The charitable explanation is probably that they weren't thinking much. That they had a skill set to allow them to do this quickly and easily. If I had the idea to do this I'd have to think about and work on it so long that they

I've read that infant mortality is a sketchy stat.

I strongly agree with this. Those GLP-1 drugs make me wonder just a bit.

Yeah. My Grandmother lived a pretty long time but she had a boarder named Lillian who at 95 was still walking 2 or 3 miles to the store every day. One day her daughter gave her a lift and managed to get into a fairly minor accident. (My

To be brutal about it the question isn't a how many more millionaires. Say Massachusetts has 10 new millionaires. That's great. What if Florida has 1000 new millionaires? Suddenly 10 doesn't sound great. To my mind it&#x2

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?" Nah. I mean I like you and that's fine. Who wants to hear about your qualities. They probably don't or wouldn't like you anyhow.

I've heard about him but weirdly this Football book is the first thing I've "read" (technically listening to the audiobook). I can totally see the appeal.

So a parent gets some joy knowing their kid is running around in the sun and not being the object of some Internet predator. If some kids have Internet suddenly your kid is bugging you 16 hours a day to unlock their access. You don&#x27

When I go out running a might feel a twinge in Achilles. Or a pain in my knee. Maybe I'm just tired. When that happens I have to do a mental inventory and ask myself, "Am I better off finishing the run or should I just bag it an

Buying alcohol is nothing like getting an anonymous token that grants the right to a Google account. This is equivalent to saying you either need to be over 16 or have a parents permission which will not work for any number reasons that som
