A heuristic I often apply (to lots of things) is 'would my Mum... <understand...?> <be able to do...?> <notice...?> <care?>' - as my Mum is reasonably smart and capable, but not at all embedded in any of th

He’s not telling the whole truth. It’s not his being a cancer researcher allowing full understanding of the risks and possible benefits that is important. It’s more that being a well-known and well-connected cancer researcher enables him to

Surgery being undertaken doesn’t mean there’s an intent or expectation to cure: this is your point of confusion. Incurable doesn’t mean “we’ll never do anything to try and help”. 1) Some tumors (brain being one example) cause problems due t

Maybe reality is more nuanced than the binary choice you’re asking it to be reduced to. e.g. Musk’s companies have done great things in the areas of EVs, batteries, and (most of all) space launches. …and… Some of his public-facing behaviour

I'd be super-interested in buying this hardware. A few thoughts: 1) One of our (indoor, house) cats is always keen to escape, and as such currently wears a breakaway collar with an Airtag attached via a 3D-printed holder, which seemed

For large numbers, it would still be feasible to purchase them by number, and just employ a system to weigh them out, based on a knowledge of how many nails per Kg for a given variant (+/- a reasonable, small threshold). After all, it

I agree. However, with most other manufacturers there are options beyond the dealerships. In contrast, Tesla is notable for the lack of spare parts available to the public (making DIY repairs difficult) and a relative lack of third-party sp

Ah, more confirmation (bias) making me doubt the wisdom of ever buying a Tesla in the future. I had a Model 3 LR as a company car and really liked it - even being fine with most of the usual concerns or dislikes people share. I even like t

They seem to inject additional people into their processes, for reasons I can't discern but I'm sure exist. For example, even buying something as simple as an Airtag means waiting for a random employee to be free, who then gets on

Our house (in Europe) is relatively old and not well insulated by modern standards, and all of the advice we read and receive from experts is that heat pumps are not a good fit without additional insulation. The gist is that we’d need to sp
