Alternatively, I'll take a thick lens, flush in a thick case, which might then make space for a thicker battery

I don't think the article mentions what animals this is about, but I was curious - this is in mice.

Would've enjoyed a randomized approach to this. A paper I like a lot randomly exposed south Africans to luxury cars and found increased support for reidstribution. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2763-1

First encountered this game about a decade ago at the TATE gallery in London on an exhibition showcasing their newly created video game collection. Was immediately taken by the soundtrack and chased it down. Fantastic game, fantastic music

I have one and never thought about sheet music. Would you mind sharing a bit about your setup in terms of the apps you use?

For movies letterboxd does this quite nicely but it's a small part of the service rather than central. But any movie has a 'where to watch' section with links to the movies on berries platforms, if you're subscribed of c

The article claims/repeats the claim that this cost valve $250 million, but I don't see how. If the leaked version wasn't very playable the damage can't come from lost sales

There's definitely some artist who feel that way. Jack White comes to mind. He'll deliberately use restrictions(like writing music for only two instruments) and even physically obstruct things at live performances. See this (very

Politicians, especially republicans, don't actually care about CBO scores, as evidenced by many many tax cuts and military expenditures. That they haven't done this just means they don't want to, a Mitt Romney here or there n

I'm not a prescriptivist when it comes to language; if a meaning evolves that's just dandy. I do think it's odd to link to a definition of a word as the author does, and then use it differently without explanation (potentiall

Thank you for posting, this was my major question when reading. A surprisingly poignant article

That caught my attention too. The misuse is especially strange because the author both cites Doctorow and links to a definition in line with Doctorow's usage, before then using it in a completely different sense https://en.

The ariely paper contained several studies by a variety of authors. The first post of this series details issues with one of the studies in that paper, which Gino did (but Ariely wasn't involved in). So 'studies' refers to ex
