Doubtful that the energy spent on building muscles is significant as there are also compensating factors that stabilize our metabolic expenditure.

My perspective is that if done correctly, the federal budget should stay roughly the same. Although I am worried about the federal budget being more devoted to debt servicing overtime. Perhaps it would be possible to boost service level whi

That is absolutely cool and amazing that we can do that though. Being able to build on the works of others I think is way more metal than having a single individual or a small group of individuals doing it.

Yes, I'm referring to the genocide of Palestinians. It's not something I, or other American voters, could overlook. Unfortunately, I don't think the issue of Palestinians are important driving issues to American voters. I w

I was commenting on people bemoaning about billionaires being too rich, with the implication that billionaires shouldn't ever need that much money. I don't necessarily agree with the idea of cutting basic research programs and how

I am not really going to argue on the issue of Palestine since that is apparently what you refer to, only to say that I still think there's a meaningful difference. That's why turnout for the Dems was so much lower, as polls and

Pretty sure it's not going to be 300 billion dollars if you try to cash it out.

We've already sent probes to Mars. There's no reason to send people other than to show we can. It's extremely uninhabitable...like Antarctica is a paradise in comparison with water, air, and a lack of radiation. We have nowh

That is not what people hate Musk for. They hate Musk because he's that unlikable.

I think access to that much capital as assess to strategic resource, not as wealth for individuals. At that level of wealth, it doesn't make sense to think about fancy cars and mansions and living an extravagant and luxurious lifestyle

I don't see how that matter. There was a meaningful choice.

It's so easy to blame it all on the feet of oligarchs, but it is ultimately our collective responsibility. The democrats lost the popular vote. Think about that. Progress, or even the status quo as it is today is rejected by half of th

Gender ratio on Tinder is heavily skewed toward male than women, except Europe.[1] No wonder why women are so incredibly selective. Gender ratio population wise is roughly equal, with slightly more women than men in the US, AFAIK. Men are c

If men outnumbered the women, the numbers are going to be more stark, no? Also, online dating doesn't really match real life dating. You miss so much information. Nobody's going around advertising their fancy cars, their hobbies a

Defamation is basically lying about someone to damage their reputation. So I don't think that the first amendment gives you the right to lie? Also, doctors and lawyers are subjected to discipline by their respective guild. So even if i

The president-elect learned a skill of sort, perhaps not a skill we should admire, but it is that one weird trick that shouldn't(morally) work but do.

I've seen plenty of people be successful without being able to do algebra, while barely ever reading a book. I've never seen anyone reach great heights without being in control of their own feelings and understanding the feelings

"Wait, this doesn't make sense", believe it or not, is not the default state of humanity, nor is it even the majority of our thoughts. I know I am not doing my body and health a favor. There's a tool called journaling, b

People can have contradictory motives. People in real life aren't driven by carefully considered system of beliefs. Only in fiction are people required to make sense. We just make enough sense to mostly get by in the world.

Jury duty. You get selected randomly for jury. Why not get randomly selected for urban planning and other duties?

Sell it to the employees? It won't be lucrative to selling it to someone with more cash than sense, but it may be more likely to preserve the value. There's no guarantee of course, and there's so little experience societal wi

Minor consequences are guardrail before major consequences come into play. If you don't have feedback mechanism for minor infractions, problem will pile up. Boeing didn't kill people overnight, it comes as gradual escalation and i

I only wish that is true, beyond the one close friend I made. There are gaps in my social skillset and mentality that makes it difficult for me to achieve.

It's really very extremely simple. You're in charge of a safety-critical business. You make decisions that trade safety for profit. People die. Let me use a different example. People die all the time in motor accident all the ti

If they can't work another executive job, they can't go around harming other businesses and people. The first thing that should happen is that the bad actions stop happening, by whatever means necessary. Justice can come later if
