Pretty well-known finding. Probably because increased sociality leads to greater longevity, not because alcohol is directly healthy.

I agree with this ordering. Another series that I think benefits from a read in publication order is the Horatio Hornblower series. That means starting with the book Beat to Quarters. I find it's often best to start with the book that

I didn't put any songs on my iPhone, I use other apps. So, yeah, heard that dumb album a lot. Eventually deleted it and have tons of music on my phone, but not in Apple's ripoff ecosystem.

One of the reasons is to make the papers more accessible to people with disabilities, especially the blind. I participated in a conference they hosted on this a few months ago, I recommend taking a look at the recordings if you're inte

I think this is the clinically detached post. The original comment was a celebration of celebration. I wish your post was written by GPT, it makes me sadder that a human wrote it.

Because the human-created ones are better bya wide margin.

Obviously.

Yeah, what's the point of saving? You put money in your bank account, it'll be worth only two-thirds of what it is now, despite nerds on the internet telling you inflation is at 3.5% or whatever. And I look pretty askance at inves

I guess Georgism is the usual alternative proposed by internet urbanists. Interesting but largely untried.

They can't tell you. You would be too shocked.

Want to make a bet that it's not zero by 2030?

Yeah, no. Anyone of reasonable intelligence can learn to use a smartphone in less than a day, and the ins and outs in a week. The kids I teach programming to who grew up with smartphones are hilariously technologically inept, not even knowi

That's...not true? You don't have a legal obligation to know where your child is. Contextually, you might often want to know where they are, or who they're currently with in a broad sense. For older children, they can have a

That's actually kind of impressive. Sad that this energy is going into getting a phone, but shows admirable drive.

Why does The Verge look like the new (old) Gawker now? Did they hire that team when it went under?

Anything assigned in a high school or college English class gets a huge ding, because people who don't want to read it are forced to and, predictably , hate it.

They're doing this because they know regulators have been asleep at the wheel for decades. If they do wake up and make a fuss, they can roll it back and pay a small fine.

22 is a big numberin Kabbalah, which extends to the tarot and other occult systems. Probably someone's joke that caught on.

I use Kagi. Probably not better than Google, but often with less junk. It's much better than DDG. The extra features are nice, as are the customizations (boost specific domains, etc.) I thought I'd be !g-ing to find things on Goog

Yeah, same. Was surprised not to see it.

Good for you. I wish everyone were like this. Waiting for the birth of my daughter next month and worried about this chance in the culture.

They're basically squatting on a giant pie of network effect rents. If you want to pay "creators," there are much more direct methods.

Yeah, seriously.

There's also a kind of giving up that's happened. You can't take kids seriously, no matter how bad they behave or how little they do they don't face any consequences. There's no getting kicked out or left back, some
