The Cada cars definitely look good, the Amg one and Alfa Romeo f1 car are licensed too. Has anyone here actually built them? The interiors seem to be all black parts which could be…

Is it just teens? It seems like everyone is less happy and more anxious these days. I wonder what the stats look like for adults.

Athletes are not training less at higher intensities overall. The dominant paradigm is polarized training - huge amounts of low intensity with small amounts of high intensity mixed…

The article states no long term negative effects have been found, compared to positive short term findings. There’s been a wide range of child-rearing practices across cultures and…

That collection doesn’t include the largest denomination, the 100 quintillion pengö note that Hungary issued. That was during worst hyperinflation ever recorded and my family lived…

I’m really curious how close this translation is to the original. I’ve read Lem in multiple languages (not Polish) and found huge differences seemingly based on making his wordplay…

I think circadian lighting will take off soon - something like Phillips Hue but cheaper, simpler, and much brighter bulbs (for simulating daylight). Set and forget for bright morni…

This is confusing, generally a blinking yellow when going straight means slow down but you have right of way. A blinking left yellow would be different from a normal blinking yello…

The color guides seem similar to the IQAir AirVisual Pro and Apple’s weather app. Like the article mentions this is likely to be inside and most useful for alerting when cooking ha…

Excel is 100x better than any alternative I’ve used (it’s been a while since I used an open source version though). Any savings would be offset by loss of productivity if it’s a sp…

Gwern had the ultimate take down of the sunk cost fallacy. https://www.gwern.net/Sunk-cost Outside of specific (usually government) projects, I tend to think of it as the sunk cost…

The first scenario seems much more plausible and genuinely worrying.

Wouldn’t the most likely attack be an angry (ex) spouse with physical access to a target’s phone placing images on it (and uploading to iCloud)? I haven’t seen this seemingly likel…

Koenigsegg claims that because of modern catalytic converters and improved cold starting process for their engine, there are virtually no particulate emissions: https://www.koenigs…

I've wondered the same thing. I assume it means time in bed, otherwise the recommendation would need a disclaimer about sleep efficiency and time in bed vs actual sleep. Some peopl…

People make cost-safety trade offs all the time, the probabilities are so low that they may not explicitly think of them as such. Have you ever driven a long distance instead of fl…

Some libertarians (such as myself) generally believe corporations already have strong incentives to make non-defective products. Some products that compromise safety for cost provi…

Available on Amazon and I would assume supplements aisle of drug stores. Dose for OCD seems to be up to 2400 mg.

N-Acetyl Cysteine, available OTC, supposedly helps with intrusive thoughts, I take it and haven't noticed a large difference but I'm not aware of any adverse effects. https://www.n…

Pointing out people in blue zones are consistently active even if they don't run marathons or go to the gym is a very weak argument against marathons and exercise. Instead of the t…

I think your analogy does you no favors. Nicotine as a stimulant does provide some benefits, and studies have shown increased smoking rates among those with ADHD and schizophrenia,…

Reasoning backwards, if menthol cigarettes were illegal, would anyone support making them legal? I’m libertarian-ish esp with respect to drugs but I think this makes sense. At some…

Fresh Red Delicious from a local farm can be good. The ones in cafeterias or cheap supermarkets are beyond terrible. My point is that good versions of traditional varieties can be …

The Honeycrisp is fine, but I don't love the trend of Apple varieties that taste like jolly ranchers (super sweet and crisp - see also Pink Lady or Jazz). Old fashioned apple varie…
