FWIW, my Colorado district's high schools are going to start class around 9 to 9:30-ish next year (proposed, at least) all based around research like this.

You choose both. You don't present one as truth. People need to learn the beauty of grey.

If you've already been following a conversation, it should make it easier. If you haven't been following the convo, you should probably start at the first message instead of jumping in the middle. I find top posting with inline, c

This is a fantastic idea, but applying it anywhere would require a lot of buy-in from opposing parties to get started — and we’re back to dealing with people problems. I suppose it’s no different than any other law though. While not a “law”

Like someone above alluded to, if you have an overbearing personality, a history of poor people skills, and such, your skills probably won't matter unless you are top 1%, and even then it will depend on just how bad you are.

Life goes on. It’s beautiful, and mankind needs to acknowledge its minuscule place in the grand scheme of things.

The way I was taught to write, with a hostile reader glaring at me, implied that nobody would care what I had to say anyway. This is far more disturbing than the main premise. I can also relate.

All (9) but one of my Sonos speakers get used regularly without issue. I do with Airplay worked with them, but I've recently drank the Kool Aid of streaming music after much resistance. I do wish our Play One could proxy Airplay to the

There are quite a few people at my company who resist “new” techniques, even if they are things like static linters. 20 years ago this stuff wasn’t prevalent, and now people should at least be able to make educated decisions. But, alas...

The new dream is to have more storage lockers than your neighbor. My brother has 2... I wish I were kidding. Where I live in Colorado, there are acres of self storage, indoor with A/C and outdoor, everywhere these days, with more being

I really enjoyed The Light of the Stars by Adam Frank, a professor in the University of Rochester’s Physics and Astronomy department. Most of the book is a summary of life beginning on Earth, followed by a re-thinking of the Fermi Paradox t

I've heard conflicting stories about this. Sometimes it is phrased as delivering us from the vengeful god of the OT, other times it just embraces and extends. I'd love to hear something official just to know how best to criticize
