I think the Utah War comes into play as well. Mormons should score pretty high on a spectrum of how much people consider themselves to be independent of the federal government.

Can't a lot of the disdain be attributed to the decline of investigative journalism in favor of opinion reporting?

I wouldn't say it's about any particular issue. It's whether they have an interesting dialectic or whether issues are painted as right versus wrong with little room for interpretation.

I think it's reductive to say it's political. Trek at its best asks philosophical questions and explores the arguments. At its worst there's the "warp travel causes pollution, let's implement a speed limit" epi

It's the optics of infidelity... A mutual affair in a terminal marriage may be frowned upon. But chasing people outside the marriage who aren't into you or who don't even exist is a combination of laughable, sad and disappoin

While the book is more about relationships, it does make applicable points. A "nice" manager that refuses to get down to brass tacks is eventually going to be a problem for everyone when the schedule slips: your complaining about

They're stuck trying to figure out how to monetize a product that people don't want a subscription for. Their only choice is to keep releasing new versions with different features (or sneak in advertising) and hope people keep buy

This isn't directed at swift as much as at the wealthy in general. What you might call social shaming, many people simply call transparency. Or, if you're going to tax my SUV more I'd like to find out if it impacts your corp

I think the elephant in the room with this discussion is homelessness. Aside from public parks and libraries though, I think you can quantify that churches, social clubs and bars are in decline. While these places still exist, many of the o

I had a friend in college who would go to Starbucks every weekend, order a drip coffee and read a copy of the New York Times for hours. After, he would put the newspaper back without paying for it. So I always wonder about how these places

Be sure to watch the John Candy impersonation of Welles. It's a classic. https://youtu.be/eOmYEssdXg8?si=AEboh7p4LcHXnueO

I wonder if it's just about the ad or how we feel about the company. My uncontroversial opinion of apple is that they want us to spend as much of our lives in their hyperreal walled garden as possible. People might not have noticed if

I'm trying to put a pin in exactly why this is offensive. Yes, you do lose fidelity in digitizing an analog signal, but I don't think that's exactly the problem. I think it's related to the fact that an ipad isn't j

People are thinking in terms of the male mechanism of reproduction and not the female mechanism of reproduction. Trying to conceive is heavily reliant on timing the cycles so I doubt this something Huberman was unaware of. 6 cycles sounds a

Can you run plumbing through the ceiling of the floor below? I'd think there's plenty of free space there but it would mean you have access to your neighbor's pipes.

I'm not sure if some people think that audiobooks "don't count", but I think they're the only alternative when you have a heavy schedule and a long commute. Plus you can adjust the speed of the playback as needed. S

Personally i think it's hard to say that they are accepting of foreigners. Other than the many, many, impressions of how it's nearly impossible to assimilate in Japan, I can also attest to how embarrassing it is to visit a country

It doesn't seem like the article makes much of a distinction between newly released music and music that you haven't listened to yet. Personally, as I get older I've lost the ability to listen to the same Led Zeppelin, Pink F

I hate to defend kludges, but here we go. The customer paid for fixing the out of bounds issue, the urgent one. So while you seem to be applying good methodology in eliminating magic numbers and named registers, you risked the project begin

Part of the fun was imagining a canon of episodes 7+ and how great the movies will be when they get around to filming Heir to the Empire. So now that Disney has created a canon that invalidates it, the old material just reminds you of how g

There's also a great Star Trek episode, the Nth Degree, where Barclay becomes the smartest man alive. The cast is typically annoyed with him so it's great to see the looks of admiration in their faces as he's suddenly able to

A theory is that increased safety and environmental standards have an added benefit: they make cars so expensive to build and maintain that fewer people will be able to afford them, forcing more and more people to use public transportation.

The book has a lot to say about VR and AI, which are sensitive topics to show in a negative light at Apple. I'd be surprised if there isn't a lot of corporate oversight into how these subjects are presented. "Do we really wan

I heard it in a jpop song, happy summer wedding by morning musume, about 20 years ago. They actually worked it into the melody of the song. I think they're well aware of it now in the East.

I've also found that just deleting your history occasionally can be beneficial as it keeps you from going down a rabbit hole of repetitive but addictive content to watch new things.
