I’ve been on meds that wreck my immune system and so I get sick a lot. Every time I start feeling the smallest tickle of an upper respiratory virus I start doing the following: 1. Gargle with salt water 3x a day 2. Use saline nasal rinses

Off topic anecdote that this reminded me of…I was briefly in Brussels 10 years ago. Myself and two other travelers just grabbing late night dinner as we passed through. We could find no public toilets and all of us just ended up urinating i

I might get downvoted for this but I immediately think of adults who consume certain content having a rough time: Bronies, The last airbender, Anime in general, Superhero stuff

Well the first quote is something you made up. And the second is a paraphrase of something I wrote. So yes, mutually exclusive.

Yeah, bad grades will be the only consequence. Of course that’s what I meant.

Right. People who rely on AI to do everything, quite literally don’t know what they don’t know.

It feels like the negative impact AI will have on young people is far greater than what social media has already done in the past 15 years. The big tech companies of today may be regarded in generations to come like the factories a hundred

I don’t know, I won’t claim expertise on this subject. But it feels like any kind of UBI risks creating a permanent underclass of people much like current welfare programs that carry no incentive to get off said programs do. Every economic

I seem to remember a Star Trek episode (not sure which series) where a character is talking about how they’ve evolved past the need for money. Badly paraphrased, and maybe just as badly remembered, but my thought at the time was that if no

The science behind it sounds cool but I don’t think they realize that being associated with Bill Gates is enough to make a lot of people suspicious.

They can do it because the hundreds of thousands of artists they did it to can’t afford to sue them. All the big name artists and the record labels (that own part of Spotify) are all benefiting from the scheme so they won’t do anything abou

I cancelled Spotify when they stopped paying me any royalties on my music. I’m a small time artist and didn’t hit their 1,000 streams per year per song threshold for most of my songs. I know I am just one small example, but their decision t

Chinese communism survives because the US spends an insane amount of money on their goods each year. It would have collapsed by now if not for the US demand for stuff.

Your utopian worldview has come up against the reality of 18k people being out of work. “We are going to increase minimum wage so you can have a livable wage!” “Yay!…wait now I have no wages. Why didn’t this work like you said?”

California is home to the largest number of illegal immigrants being exploited for cheap farm labor. If CA really cared about exploited people, they would have done something about that. And by done something, I don’t mean encouraging and p

Aside from really terrible home experiences for a tiny minority, a part time job for a 15 year old doesn’t need a “livable wage” We don’t need kids working in coal mines but we also don’t need to make it near impossible for them to get work

I think this person explained a lot about how things get done in the real world. They just don’t like it. What’s not to like about society spending itself into oblivion?

This article highlights something that’s an issue almost everywhere, albeit maybe not as egregious. If I do nothing to my property, my taxes stay the same. If I add a shed, deck, pool, or whatever external feature to my property then the ta

There should be an “I give up” button to let you finish the game and be locked into that result for the day. I like the idea, there’s just something about the UX that’s weird to me.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Allowing ISPs to decide what counts as an affordable option seems like it will get abused quickly. On the other hand, states like NY that mandate the price be $15, doesn’t reflect the reality that inflati

Given how most government projects run, I expect this project to be a decade late and about 10x whatever they estimate the cost to be today.

I guess what was confusing is that the most vocal use of “states rights” that I am aware of came in the lead up to the Civil War when the Democrats used the idea of states rights to try and keep their slaves. I can’t think of an instance of

I’ve never watched any of them. Maybe Nova a few times when I was a kid. PBS/NPR will be fine. Their business model might have to change but that might ultimately be a good thing.

I guess we’re both fans of using hyperbole.

You don’t think it might have something to do with the Internet and having access to all of the knowledge in the world on your phone? I’m glad libraries exist but a lack of traction if the idea were introduced today would have more to do wi
