They want 71£ for 4oz of lions mane powder. Am I missing something? That seems exorbitant. https://southwestmushrooms.com/en-gb/products/mushroom-powde...

That could be a simple “not enough science to express things rationally.” Or even dark, they’ve seen so much bad and no counter to it in their formative years that naked hope is a sort of lunge point. (Politics really has gone from “roughly

NM has a population of around 2.1M and Florida around 22.2M. That puts NM at about 41 vehicular fatalities and Florida at about 443. That’s what I mean by odd numerical stuff. Dividing things by 100,000 is an attempt to smooth over populati

NMican here. This is big vehicle country and that could be a huge factor. Also subjectively a sudden huge growth in homelessness. It’s also just otherwise not very populace so I wonder whether there’s an odd sample problem going on. It woul

Right, the average American lives in a home for something like 7 years and probably decides to move because of things unrelated to interest rates (life events, mood). But the investors are living in the financial world. They’ve not traditio

Not to mention all the customers and people who will tell you that you’re a piece of crap because you work such a job. (Part of why I go out of my way to be kind to people (and tip) is my experience working retail right out of college.)

Higher rates mean lower property values - and lower property values mean the rent/mortgage trade off pushes rents lower. It’s instructive to look up how much those SFHs rent for and compare it to local apartment complexes. There’s a hu

I’ve had people of all walks of life and professional backgrounds profess world their views as a guide. It’s not programmer specific. But programmers are more inclined to think algorithmically.

That’s an outright abusive misreading of what I’ve said.

Thousands. And a phd program is pretty similar to a modern monastery.

Which still sounds pretty normal for a last year of phd. Freedom and autonomy from the burden await past the degree. Deep psychological work is going to take longer than a year, cost $$$$, could be fleeting, and clearly not going to finish

Losing half of their wealth and honestly rolling the dice on whether a new relationship would be with someone who would be with them through thick and thin or just another “fair weather friend.”

Someone working towards a phd in the final year of work shouldn’t be personally taking upon the baser weight and long term sustainability of society. That’s too much for any one person - Jimmy Carter clearly “settled for less” and still man

Yes absolutely be careful to fearful of social media. At worst the people there could be trying to torpedo your trajectory through making you feel bad. Not worth the risk.

I think the only real way to do that is as part of a civilization that is expanding into the solar system and has a group understanding to look for artifacts first and not destroy them or life. (Kind of a big ask, admittedly.) Space just is

Yep. Times like this actually make certain music hit so much better. Listen to Pink Floyd. But also check out old blues - Howlin Wolf, Ledbetter, Willie Dixon, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, Son House, Elizabeth Cotten, etc. Even/especi

This actually reads almost normal for a last year of a phd. But you’re in a phd program and probably much closer to complete than you think. I’d reach out to your professors about your misgivings about your research. Make it clear that you’

There’s probably a point where too much analysis makes the conversation worse off, right?

For me, the ready abundance of AAs is plenty. If we saw a paucity of AAs outside earth then we could say we have evidence for the stuff for life being possibly unique to earth. That its presence seems to follow a knowable, significant rate

It might actually be useful to think of that as an equivalency because “c” is the fastest rate by which one part of the universe interacts with another part. I think of the universe branching off by the further in spacetime these interactio

Right. There really are people who need to tow a truckload 300+ miles on a charge at highway speeds with the AC running. Or camping for a day or two without refueling out remote. Telling such people their use case’s don’t matter or are unre

Out of my depth here a little. But general writing responds well to knowing/reading good writing. Like the quote “great writers steal” or something like that. Read the greats like Asimov or Feynman. Asimov was of course great for pulli

I really hope aptera succeeds. I personally would buy one, but I live and work where I’m surrounded at all times by most of the largest mass production vehicles. I’d never ride a motorcycle around here and feel safe. Solar wise though this

These sort of abbreviations can be basically impossible to figure out for the rest of us. Thank you.
