FYI it's a riff on Carl Jung: "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves." Agreed, it's a valuable insight.

Thanks, I didn't realize issuing new shares after being public was a relatively common activity.

How does buying shares support a company financially? My understanding of the stock market is that buying shares would only help a company during a time when they issue new shares to raise capital, like during an IPO. Are there other ways i

No, I explained why it makes me feel that way but I can expand. The modern kitchen image looks sterile, pristine, and I feel anxiety at the thought of dirtying it. I also think it looks alien and I can't imagine where the materials cam

Well the aesthetic is the point of the discussion, no? And, now that we're talking about personal experience, I've spent weeks cooking with just canister stove and a 1 liter pot, and yes, I've cooked many meals over a camp fi

Just curious -- why be so dismissive and snarky? At the very least, it's an interesting discussion to have, and one you clearly have an opinion about. > Hint: it isn't For what it's worth, I think it is, but it's obvi

For those in the US that are reading: you can generally check out audiobooks for free at your local library. Unfortunately I don't know how libraries work in the UK.

Did you use a set of plans specifically for the A-frame studio house, or was it an amalgamation of a bunch of different resources? I'd love more resources on it if you have a suggestion.

This article is a pretty fascinating experiment showing how propaganda (or, to be more generous: click-bait) works in real time. Look at how many comments in this thread think that the archive versions were censored based on the misleading

Yeah, it looks like range is the biggest complaint. That's fair. I don't use my truck for long trips because of poor gas mileage. I just use it for hauling things like wood, and I'm fortunate enough to have a good mill and mu

That's fair -- looks like the base model F-150 starts at ~$30k and the base model electric F-150 starts at ~$42k. I didn't compare any features though.

Regardless of who's reporting on it, what do you think of the electric F-150? Looks like roughly the same towing capacity as the gas F-150 (for heavy loads, wouldn't you want a tractor anyway?), and by nature of being electric it&

Alternatively, what if they simply learned something new which caused them to change their belief in something? It's better to focus on what caused their mind to be changed (it may or may not be bunk) versus focusing on the fact that t

Can you expand on this a bit more? I've never heard about this. Are you saying when I go down to my local dispensary that it's owned by China? Or that the local bud is not actually local?

In what ways are the (current) traditional models in public education "proven"? Genuine question. Speaking of ethics, it doesn't seem entirely ethical to force students to memorize a bunch of facts (chosen by whom?) and regur

As a side note: the 70s saw a particularly high level of inflation. Note that the equivalent price in 1980 was ~$85, so it doubled in one decade. If that level of inflation stayed constant (doubling every decade), then it would be equivalen
