It's not a cult. Sure, there are busybodies pushing weird issues at the general assembly meetings, but I'd compare it to Trader Joe's if it were staffed by mostly volunteers who only work every 6 weeks - bit incompetent, but

A lot of athletics is dangerous - I think it's only fair for people to be informed about the risks because often awareness and procedures can mitigate them. I'm a decently strong climber, and I would never discourage people from t

There are risks that cannot be fully mitigated in your climbing a mountain example - rockfall, avalanche, unstable terrain, sudden storms, etc. Going to the gym and doing boring modest stairmaster will be a lot safer than climbing actual mo

I've meditated a fair bit and done sauna a fair bit. The heat is definitely adding something different and a bit euphoric.

I'm referring here to Instagram / Facebook. How are you going to send your wedding or vacation or dog photos to your network? Mass email? The social platforms have a utility for most people at this point.

This is why all websites have big cookie consent modals that appear before you can view content now. Most people just accept all. (And even when doing that, things like Apple Tracking Transparency have broken fingerprinting for a lot of adt

6.8% with 6.8% inflation, according to that article. Edit: just got to the conclusion of this article, from 2014: "Many smart people in the industry are predicting lower investment returns over the next decade or so." Funny.

"Hiding them to protect my savings" is a result of our broken identity system, I'd say that's tangential to privacy. As Mitchell and Webb pointed out, "identity theft" is actually bank theft that's blamed

>"I will be expecting your credit card and bank information on my table in the morning" I've shared this (or similar info) with landlords and realtors and platforms that I don't trust. That's life.

I think the reason most people are wary of sharing banking information is that they are worried you would exploit it or because of social norms not to talk about money, not that they have something to hide.

They already tried the dome housing thing in Texas - https://www.monolithic.org/monolithic - I don't think it works for the floor plan / amenities / square footage that Americans expect.

How much is an hour of your CD's time worth? I'm not a designer, but I know the pain of making nice mocks for a presentation (pain is outweighed by the impact). This instantly makes you look way more legit at a pretty low cost.

I’m curious what cities you have in mind. I’ve spent time in Western, PA and while it’s definitely a lot safer than Pine Bluff, feels like there’s lots of issues with pollution, blight, and opiates even with fracking jobs and money coming i

And move where? Most of the cities that are growing have a housing crisis. Most of the cities that are shrinking can have major safety issues - see @pontifier's misadventure in Pine Bluff, AR[1] for a particularly extreme anecdote. 1.

Your input isn't really helpful because, e.g. "getting groceries for 2 weeks" is not something that somebody who doesn't drive can do. Your experience of your small town (which I'm sure is pretty great with a car),

Is your food truck really using organic meat? The US has a very interesting food truck and street food culture. You get chefs who are saving money on rent, but the food ends up costing as much as a brick and mortar quick service restaurant.

It's the "love your job and you'll never work a day in your life" theory of exercise. For me, I struggle to stick to training without a trainer, but I'll happily climb or ski or hike for hours because they are &quot

Don't get me wrong, climbing can help you build muscle that's very aesthetic - arms, core, shoulders - but the "useless stuff" that people drop is what's useless for climbing, not other sports. The conventional trai
