> You don't just need a desk. You need a desk in addition to your share of a series of hallways that go to your desk, an elevator, a staircase, conference rooms, a lunch room etc. All of which are shared throughout the workday, unle

Certainly the notion that parking could just be replaced by housing(or anything else) in the snap of a finger is a stretch. The initial idea of the American dream and the single family home almost has to lead to a reliance on cars, especial

I don't know where you work, but I haven't had an office all to myself ever, a desk is pretty much all I have ever been allotted, and it has usually been an open one at that. I have one place to go to work(usually). But I have alm

You just argued against yourself though, because in a theoretical sense that is exactly what you do. If you don't have a parking space available at the location you are going to, a "public driveway" so to speak, you are not a

That is the whole POINT. You don't pick up your house and move it every time you need to go to a grocery store(unless you live in your car, which many do), but that is exactly what you do with a vehicle. This means that the infrastruct

This doesn’t make sense. A good portion of your engagement is going to come from people who are familiar with you, whether they be friends or “followers”. A ton of my old high school friends(accounts must be 10-15 years old now) still post

Off topic, but is it not crazy that there are ads plastered on just about every possible place of this write up, yet there are 0 pictures of the actual office?

Tennis for me(and ultimate frisbee, although not so much in the past few years)! Tennis is one of the few things I have found where I am completely comfortable going up to a stranger(maybe they are on a court, or have a racquet in their bac

Gotcha. It is also one of my favorite shows(and I am far from a space theme enthusiast), but I think I focused more on the protovirus and what not, I should go back and re-watch it again!

Sure, my comment was a bit hyperbolic, but 'all of us' is certainly far from the truth as well.

A side effect of this for the unbanked is probably that a new currency emerges that is used among those without access to banks. That could be just regular goods, or some other form of fiat money.

Not everything needs to be a problem in order to push boundaries. Maybe it doesn’t make economic sense now, but hardly anything does until way down the road.

Its just like hitting snooze on an alarm clock for 2 hours straight. One deludes themselves that they will have the willpower in 5 minutes, and the end result is getting a terrible sleep AND missing class/work.

The US political landscape does a great job of creating problems that then need an incredible amount of expenditure to address(not even to solve, just to plug holes). This can be seen in exponential rise of diabetes, the opioid crisis, and

But given that the actual health benefits of ozempic(for me weight loss is not indicative of better health) have not actually been seen yet, you are quite possibly just taking on both evils at the same time.

It’s totally reasonable to criticize the status quo, and to me at least it is totally okay if that is coming from a place of privilege. But there are also so many out there(most even) who can’t afford to think about anything but the next pa

I think the body of work around what this drug does outside of its impact on patients with diabetes is pretty limited, which is what is scary about everyone jumping on this one.

It seems pretty obvious that the massive injection of sugar in the 60s and 70s into diets paved the way for pretty much everything else that followed(snacks, fast food, convenient food, etc). I guess we can all ignore that diabetes is drive
