I've gotta ask: is this really such a big problem in other countries? If not, are they starting school later? How are the successful ones dealing with it if not that way?

For example, someone who buys a new car on little to no money down shouldn't come complaining to me if he loses his job that he cannot find a new job because the car was repossessed, when he could have bought a used, maybe not very pre

I'm a fairly cutthroat free markets kinda guy, but this topic is very palpable, and distresses me a lot. It's one thing to hold people accountable for unproductive choices that keep them poor, but quite another to make it impossib

The "escorting" strikes me as the worst part. I understand completely if the person is being fired under bad terms. But laid off? That just undermines everything: "Hey, Joe. You've done great work here, and you know that

Assuming arguendo that you're not talking about repetitive stress injuries to the body or brain from overdoing physical or stressful activity, and just the acute harm from accidents, they're pretty much the same as driving. The co

Smoking is the intake of carcinogens, a direct health risk. Jumping off a building is the result of unhealthy depression, i.e. a symptomatic behavior. A vehicular accident as a driver is not a direct cause of driving any more than a pedestr

Driving isn't hazardous to your health. Crashing is. That's like saying eating is unhealthy to your health because you might choke.

I recall way back reading about HSV that one of the reasons the virus is "incurable" is that it evolved a kind of staggered active reproduction/latent phase, such that people would experience herpes outbreaks repeatedly, whil

Bureaucrats outnumber faculty 2:1 at public universities and 2.5:1 at private colleges, double the ratio in the 1970s. It has to be asked though, did student:teacher ratio stay constant during this time? Because if it's risen (i.e. p

Not any more than I don't need to keep paying my teacher once I learn what she knows. ChatGPT's value isn't in what it knows: it's in what it understands from your prompt in terms of that sea of information.

People employed can afford to buy stuff though, which also increases profit. The simpler reason is that it means that people believe Fed will read this as a license to not have to slow down rate increases, which will hurt stocks.

IMHO, this is simply born of the new age of surveillance: an internet that never forgets, tracks you unless you take excessive inconveniences to avoid it, and cheap cameras everywhere. Not only is creating counterculture hard to do for fear

Arching my lower back as a default position for sitting and standing and avoiding rounding my back at all times. I always thought that slumped posture was the most important thing to avoid, but this created maladaptive muscle fixedness arou

And yet, we only get 15 minutes with our primary care doctors. No one doubts the progress of technology: it is the quality of human interaction that's plummeted.

On what are you basing the assertion that they wouldn't weather a recession? You might be right, you might be wrong, but large size is not a guarantee of resilience. There are basic metrics about company health that would not be too ha

Why do you want to go to a FAANG in the first place? Lots of smaller tech companies out there with a proven business model beyond throwing cheap money at diminishing opportunities for growth.

Well, that and high quality, sufficient sleep. That is way harder as you age, and a worthwhile aim of lifestyle modification or supplementation to support it.

The "theory" behind ACV is that stomach problems can be caused by H. Pylori overgrowth due to acid underproduction. H. Pylori and stomach acidity problems are easily testable diagnoses via upper endoscopy on a case by case basis.

Have you looked into sodium alginate supplements (with regard to reflux)? It's what got me back that last 5% you allude to after making all of the other lifestyle changes. An amazing product with no side effects. Also great for when re

It will exacerbate esophageal irritation on the way down even if it did help a weak LES (which it doesn't). Please ask your doctor before trying this. Avoiding unadulterated high acid foods is a first line treatment for gastric problem

The older I get, the more attractive the Homeric ideal becomes of dying in the prime of one's life on the battlefield after successful conquest. Perhaps not in literal war, but upon the accomplishment of something great, with an end no
