I think about this often myself, since it's a real possibility I'll end up with a windfall eventually. I'm not sure how to provide you with suggestions specific to your interests and situation, but I can share my personal con

A green cross definitely means marijuana dispensary to my eyes. Is it actually used elsewhere?

Natto is none of spicy, bitter, salty, or umami. It also doesn't have the pleasant sharpness of pickled herring or vodka. It is glue, in both texture and taste, but also in function. Based on how firmly it glued my mouth shut, I'm

What would you say to someone like me who feels that IRV is perhaps the worst possible alternative voting system to advocate for? It feels like someone at some stage must be very dishonest, or otherwise dangerously uninformed, to think that

How expensive is this kind of casting in Rust? Like, if I have a struct which has a superset of attributes that I need for the type I'm casting to, do I need to construct a new struct instance just to have something to treat as my targ

What is the idiomatic way to mimic inheritance in Rust, when writing bindings for OO languages? I'm new to Rust but I imagine there are ways to mimic upcasting/downcasting its types?

Not mainstream; it's a niche hobby. Most people have never heard of it, and you won't encounter anyone on the street chatting about the latest demoscene developments. You won't find TV shows about it nor regional clubs dedica

I'm a bit taken aback that YouTube won't let me add these to a private playlist, because they're oriented towards kids. Huh? What does this accomplish?

Is "toxin" the right word for this? What you've described sounds bad, but not literally toxic in the way botulinum is.

American magpies are indeed corvidae, unlike the Australian ones.

Seed oils are toxins? Maybe I'm living under a rock by being perplexed by this, but you'll have to explain further.

These problems are not in spite of SF's success, they are largely due to SF's success. Anywhere else in the US which experiences the same level of success would end up having to deal with mostly the same problems. Henry George pre

This project seems to imply DejaVu Sans can be used on a 5-pixel-height display, although that's based on a very surface-level skim of the repo: https://github.com/rnauber/ESPHomeMatrixLED I'd suggest that yo

But there is also a theoretical reason not to believe things are so linear. The body is designed to react to stress, and a minimal amount of stress can even be beneficial, because of the way the body reacts to it. At least in some cases thi

This isn't about the drinker noticing, this is about measurable physiological outcomes. Longevity, for instance, is not clearly affected by low levels of alcohol consumption. Not to question your Engineering teachers; I wasn't the

It is hardly clear that low amounts of alcohol (on the order of 1 drink/day) are deleterious. The body has a true ability for homeostasis, and almost anything in excess will lead to problems. Alcohol's threshold for excess is regr

The "great" is after maybe a half hour of grogginess. Then I feel like I have peak motivation and am ready to take on the world, for the rest of the morning. I sure would love to have that perspective for the rest of the day. Caff

It's very strange to me that this is the case for those with clinical depression; I personally feel great each morning and by the late evening my mood tends to be nearly as low as it was when I did have a bout of clinical depression. I

If new supply outpaces demand, wouldn't housing also in that case cease to be a good investment? (I think your first sentence has this wrong)

I lived in the Bernal Heights house that the author heard about second-hand (confirmed by a mutual friend), and we've joked how he got this take very wrong. We were living the bohemian techno-hippie lifestyle because we wanted to (righ

Any recommendation for handheld / tripod-mounted directional antennas for camping/backpacking purposes? It's surely more of a niche than this RVer-heavy comments section, but if you have anything suitable to point to I'd

Your link doesn't seem to support what you're saying? It says that he wrote his letter about Riborg (a woman) and sent it to Christian (her brother) as a confessional. After Riborg's death, it was found she had kept Andersen&

Not yet, but it's a consideration. I just put in two weeks' notice at my job, and after working on some side-projects I do intend to travel a lot, starting with Hawaii. In contrast, I'm probably trying to move away from Machi

How do I do this? Specifically the clothing part. How can I best plan ahead to not label myself as a clueless tourist? I imagine my American standard of dress is too casual for most places, but beyond generalizations like that, I'm clu

I'm curious here: I am under the impression, possibly due to outdated info, that the issue with red meat was specifically that cooking it at high temperatures creates carcinogens (this being why bacon is especially bad). Would it be po

I don't necessarily think eBay should be forced with legal might to sell these books -- but it's a terribly bad look for their company. Book banning has always felt scummy to me, and I always think back to being a child when many

It sounds more like values of tribalism to me. They're benefiting the in-group (employees of their company) but they're still existing in a society where not everyone gets paid the same as them. And unless they're a perfect r

Berlin is a small city on the global scale. It doesn't need to grow forever, it needs to grow to meet its local demand, which is apparently larger than the existing housing stock.

In the short term, I'm in agreement without caveat, but in the long term letting the prices rise supports industrial growth. The wealthy buying all the bread they want funds the expansion of the farming industry, allows them to invest

We're discovering that zoning is a tragedy of the commons style issue where it may sound good for any individual city, but is detrimental if everyone does it. It makes no sense to put on blinders with respect to the problems cities cre
