For those interested in urban planning, including contrasts between the US and places that do it well, I highly recommend the Not Just Bikes youtube channel. The intro video details a short walk in Houston, which is pretty alarming: https:

The FB trend is amazing, however I suspect the increasing uptake of mobile devices and use of the FB app played a role in the decline of web search. Seems we can't filter by mobile vs desktop.

Thanks for sharing. A couple of questions if I may: For a typical surgeon in the US, how common are lawsuits from patients? Do you have plans to run your own clinic (if not already doing so)? If so, would this address some of your current i

I'm not in the US, is medical tourism common amongst US citizens? For non-urgent cases, why not travel to a country that offers cheap, quality health care? Financially seems justifiable, given that in the US, simple treatments and medi

Mt. Fuji stands at 3.8km (12,467ft). They say the wave reached 4.5km, so maybe Mt. Fuji with the Burj Khalifa (~800m) on top? Still very difficult to picture as a wall of water.
