   Mic the Vegan just released a relevant [1] video today called "The Real Cost of Meat" [2] [1] it isn't clear to me that WeWork did this for cost or ideals, but I thought I'd share in any case [2] https://youtu

   This policy aside, I think it's strange that fish is not considered meat...

   I've wondered the same about myself. What I've come to about it is that there are definitely different types of programmers, and I have found what type I am and what makes me unique. Also I've come to that I may not always pr

   I wouldn't say it's obligatory, especially since the poster already was aware of not assuming gender by using "he/she" (though I know some people identify as neither of those). I do prefer singular they; it's v

   This is side stepping the answer you're looking for: can you change locations with your current salary? The net effect could be living as if you had $250k. Otherwise, the best way I think reaching beyond the $150k/year salary as a

    Thanks for the warning! Luckily I've already studied languages with (some) declensions like Old English, Old Norse and Icelandic, and to a lesser extent Russian and Bosnian. I used to be ravenous to learn new languages but after colleg

    Hey, that's a great idea! I think I'll take that on. Learning Sanskrit would be great, and reading the original BG would be so much better, you're right.

    My current goal is to read different copies of the Bhagavad Gita. I'm on the third translation. Probably not very impressive! but a great goal for me personally. Edit: downvotes? :(

    This is good. Even while at a stoplight it's important to be aware of the traffic. However I do wonder what this law says about people who use Google Maps while driving. Also just the other day I had an Uber driver who was looking at t

    Are you suggesting Aloha Shirt instead? Or it'd be great if you.could explain further. I do understand not saying Hawaiian Shirt, since Hawaiian carries the connotation of ethnically Hawaiian. No sane white person who's born in Ha

    I'm not ignoring its foundation in India, only affirming that what we know of as Zen was critically developed in China and Japan. American English has roots in Britain, but it's distinctly American.
