I'm in Japan right now. I don't have any insight into government response, but there could be cultural factors that could have reduced the spread of the virus. In general, the Japanese avoid physical contact. They bow when they gr

I was always an avid movie-goer but the fact that movie tickets were $12-$14 was absurd. Any time I saw more than 1 movie per month I felt guilty for blowing so much cash at the theater. When MoviePass came along I saw around 30 movies in t

Restaurants, bars, and events around town are a good topic as well. Travel is a good one too since many coworkers are either planning a vacation or were on one recently.

You have every right to enjoy this book. But for anyone who has read Ready Player One and absolutely hated it as much as I did, there is a hilarious podcast called 372 Pages We'll Never Get Back (from the guys of Mystery Science Theate

It's a reinforcing feedback loop: new cities are developed to accommodate cars -> more people own/drive cars because of the city's design -> repeat. It's a type of trap that leads to these undesired effects. I do n

St Pete is bike/pedestrian friendly relative to other parts of Florida, and I think it's getting better. I actually think that is one reason why the area has been growing so much over the past decade. There is actually a bike trai
