I agree, but at the same time an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of treatment. 40% of American adults, including the woman featured here, are obese. You can't just eat 3000 calories of junk food a day and expect the doctor to &quo

They keep saying "top schools", but lower tier schools have the same gender disparity. And 40% of bootcamp grads might be female, but how much of that is due to the fact that there are bootcamps, apprenticeships, etc. that exist p

Tokyo is an 845 mi² megacity. Is population growth of 100k/yr something a city should aspire to? At a certain point I feel like some kind of family planning makes sense at larger levels of society just like it does with the family unit

LED bulbs are much, much more expensive, don't live up to their advertised lifetime in my experience, cause problems when used with dimmers, produce more problematic waste... Most importantly, the light is of vastly inferior quality. Y

These are nice tips, but execution is more difficult than simply knowing them for someone with social anxiety. Suppose you read a guide that said "...during the next phase of the conversation, you should start spinning a yo-yo around y

It works for about a minute, then the tinnitus gradually creeps back. The brief experience of being tinnitus-free is refreshing, but it's not a quality of life improvement for which I would constantly perform this exercise or wear a vi

More chemical waste in our water system. There's nothing wrong with the amount of water we currently use to flush our toilets. Now, there's something to be said for a cleaner flush, but another solution to that problem - with many

The difference is you are diluting your narcotic with water in the case of alcohol, and with burnt plant material in the case of THC. I, a non-smoker, went to a hookah bar once and already felt disgusted by the mouth-throat-lung experience

Isn't the autocomplete feature a sort of search in its own right? I agree there is a distinction between the two tools, but deliberately steering autocomplete carries the same potential for abuse as deliberately curating search results

I have kind of soured on snopes since the 2016 election. Their political fact-checking includes a heavy dose of spin, framing issues with certain wording so that they can say "mostly false" with a big red X on their own strawman,

Unlike penny stocks, bitcoin won't perform a 100:1 reverse-split and print new coins. Many penny stock gamblers have been burned this way, which is why they're moving into crypto

IMO it's a testament to how games like SC are collectively and thoroughly "solved" by the community, and how the games aren't that complex after all. I never followed SC or SC2, but my observation of the pro scene and co
