You think the prospect of injuries in among military personell are going to prevent policies and practicalities that increase operational fitness? There are about 1.5 million injur…

$20k per year for a brand new drug that went through 15 years of development is peanuts. Welcome to healthcare in the country that leads the world in pharma research, for good and …

Same. We have simply learned to filter the noise. It helps around here that the noise takes on a similar and easily recognizable form in most cases.

I haven't crunched the math or anything, but you don't feed 8 billion people with small farms unless every 10th person is willing to go farm. Currently it's more like every 150th.

It's weird, vertical farming has gotten so much hype but really only makes sense for luxury products like microgreens, and still only makes sense if you specifically want to grow t…

I wish there was more tolerance for the Instant Pot situation in big business. Build a great product, sell wildly for many years, inventor becomes a multi-millionaire, many people …

Kids spending too much time on TikTok? Won't do their chores on time? Try the ancient and time honored tradition of beating them until they behave as you would like! /s

It could be non-genetic as well. Various vitamin, mineral, and enzyme deficiencies, brain chemistry (that part of it that isn't genetically determined), and other health stuff coul…

Alcohol is definitely bad for anxiety in the long run if you are using frequently (even in small amounts). It does a real number on your GABAergic system.

Less is definitely more. There really could be a stronger culture of moderation like there is with alcohol (one glass of wine / beer with dinner crowd). I almost gave up on cannabi…

Firstly, I'd argue it's only a tautology when you phrase it in a particular way (and take some knowledge about how the brain works as "given"). The point isn't that the effect happ…

Camorepticus? Scremaèlitude? We're just making up words at this point, right?

They have been on the bleeding edge of autonomous robotics R&D for a very long time now. If they were more focused on commercialization for the past 20 years then they wouldn't hav…
