I felt the same way for years. I don’t recall which track changed my mind, but I started liking him when I had a realization that his music has a childlike element to it that I haven’t heard in any other artist. He often rebels against trad

Something similar to it happened in 2019. A man became completely paralyzed, but retained his senses. With the help of medical experts, he learned to control his level of brain activity. A computer monitoring his brain activity produced an

Typical UBI trial run. Not universal. Not basic income, unless you consider $12k/yr in LA a livable income. Ends in three years, so no one can retire early or buy a bigger home. The program will conclude that people are quite happy to

I worked with a guy who spent $55k on a new truck. We were both making $18 an hour. He was in his early 20s living with his parents. That was in 2017… I wonder if he’s still paying it off.

I mix Adderall and marijuana. It's horrible for my health, but boy does it work. Adderall gets my mind moving, and pot keeps me sitting in my chair, ignorant of the passage of time, focused on work. As counterproductive as it seems, I

Maybe that’s true, but it doesn’t provide me with any comfort. I’m only going to live once. When I’m old and bound to a chair (hopefully due to frailty and not because a psychiatrist strapped me to it), I want to feel like I achieved someth

Google results change frequently, even when they shouldn’t. Searching for “shrimp recipes” gives me mostly food blog articles that are from the years 2020 or 2021. Why would I want recent recipes over tried and true recipes? Where did the g
