It’s consistent. Go after the big guys, suppliers and other enablers. Not after the individual addict.

Exactly. Us humans do a lot of things that aren’t optimal but make us feel good for some reason. Why do people like cats? They often are assholes but we still love them. Why would animals be different?

My mom is 94 and in reasonably good health for that age. My dad just died after a decade of decline with dementia. My mom often tells me that she just doesn't want to wake up one morning. And she wants to go out while she is still on t

It’s going to happen. It will move up the chain until it replaces the really powerful people. Replacing them will obviously be made illegal.

That’s actually not that hard. You need a long lens. there are a few websites that tell you when the ISS crosses the sun in your area with exact time of the crossing. When the time comes, you set up your camera with a solar filter and do a

That may happen very soon.

Sorry that’s nonsense.

Make sure you get a lot of beans. They are pretty good on protein. How do you notice that you need more protein? I hear that quite a bit but I have no idea how it manifests.

My parents both grew up on farms and for them meat was something you had on Sundays. The belief that a meal is only complete with meat seems pretty new.

The DEA may grow because they may start the war on drugs back up. FDA and especially EPA are definitely at risk.

Reagan did enormous damage with this quote. Instead of asking for better government people now believe that government can never work. Unfortunately things don’t work without any government so we have a permeant state of bad government.

I can think of a few: - being invaded by another country - food safety - being robbed - being paid by my employer Many more. They are not completely solved but vastly improved. Try places like Sudan or Somalia and see how life is without a

The whole thing is just insane. Instead of going up the supply chain and arresting the big fish, they are creating their own supply chain and go after addicts. Everybody involved in this should get fired. Almost as stupid as the FBI years a

And more should do so. Employer based insurance should be abolished. I would also close the VA. One health system for all

My ex had surgery years ago. The hospital messed up something with billing so she had to go to 20 different companies to make them redo their bills. Took a year of almost full time work.

That’s a really important point. All the incentives are to increase cost.

Your first sentence is already wrong. With employer based insurance the company is the customer. The patient is the product.

It also depends on what comes next. E.g. if you have a long straight coming up, you want to straighten out things as soon as you can, so you can accelerate early and take that speed into the straight. It often makes sense to sacrifice speed

I think people might if they offered good quality. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with a lot of things “Made in USA”.

For a while my company did aptitude tests that basically are measuring certain types of intelligence. I personally found a very good correlation between somebody doing well on those and them fitting into the team. For some reason (legal?) w

I did 4x10 and I found it horrible. During the four days, I didn't get to do anything other than work and commute. And the stupid thing was that my output (and that of my coworkers as far as I could tell) was not really higher with 10

That minimum level is to be flown to your destination.

You could argue that it’s better to have to pay for things like bags, carryons or food as you use them. Problem is that they probably won’t lower prices from the current level so it’s basically shrinkflation.

We have a few hundred million years before we need to worry about the sun.

Inequality is big problem. If you have a certain percentage of people with way more money than others, they skew markets to cater to them. You see this in real estate where new builds are mostly towards the higher end. You see this with car

You also tend to compare yourself to others. For example, I am not happy when CEO gets a 20% raise while telling the rest of us that money is tight and no raises can be given. We all want some level of fairness.

That's what he says: “I’m on an anti-aging protocol from my doctor that includes testosterone replacement,” Kennedy said. “I don’t take any anabolic steroids or anything like that and the TRT I use is bioidentical to what my body produ

Why does everything need to scale? Why couldn't they stick to taking a few high quality companies every year? There was enough money to be made that way. Seems the belief is that everything needs to scale until it doesn't work any

I usually go straight to the full language. It's pretty hard to find the point when to switch from low code to something else when there is time pressure. Same with bash vs python. People say you should switch from bash once you have m

Not sure if Excel is low code. It has a pretty full featured language behind it: VBA.
