That is a clever indicator, although the muscle-car generation is passing on, so less demand. Similar to the Model A/Model T crowd 30 years ago. Another classic indicator is when y…

Not even close to Bill Russell.

I knew someone would know the real answer!

I usually think this, but then I'll see some random piece of advice from thousands of years ago, e.g. Seneca, Sun Tzu, Jesus, Plato and it seems very relevant. We've got a lot more…

I once read that to get the loop out of your head, you have to "finish" the song, i.e. play it to the end, either in your head, sing it or play it on the stereo. Works reasonably w…

similar to "death by bunny-bites" but I like the additional concept of "secretly undermining"

Money is less powerful than it used to be. Technology and global markets have driven tremendous efficiencies. Companies can make more money selling a $300 TV to the poor than a $3,…

All true, unless you do a low-carb diet. Once your body adjusts (2-3 weeks for me), your hunger feelings are significantly dampened because your blood sugar is always stable. This …

That is a great book review.

Thomas Sowell digs into this in his book "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" quote from the book's Wikipedia page: Sowell argues that the black ghetto culture, which is claimed to …

The Jews identified this problem and the solution thousands of years ago, hence their weekly Sabbath ritual of disconnecting from work/technology and focusing on their family/faith…

"Money before people," that's the company motto. Engraved on the lobby floor. It just looks more heroic in Latin. -- Veronica Palmer in TV series 'Better off Ted'

What? An entrepreneur shot for the moon but didn't make it on the first try? Burn him at the stake for trying.

Me too. Hearing his voice at 1x seems weird.

f.lux changed my life. Always thought I was just a night person. After decades of late-night coding, f.lux educated me about blue light and allowed me to rejoin the living.

I recall those times too, however I switched back to gopher because the web was click-click-crash if you were running windows or on the college unix workstations, it was click-clic…

https://www.reddit.com/r/keto has 910,000 subscribers who will give you mountains of anecdotal evidence backed up by their lab work and tales of their doctor's astonishment. If you…

You learn on 2, then move to 1 aka slalom as you have far more manuverability. Wakeboards and skurfers (if those are still around) are wider than a slalom ski and don't have both f…

I grew up waterskiing, so when I moved to the mountains, I thought I'd pick up snow skiing easily. I did o.k., but after a few years I still hadn't gotten that "flow". After a few …

Start on a Blue slop IF the conditions are good, i.e. you can dig your edge into the snow at least an inch. If the conditions are not good, i.e. hard-pack or icy, then put the boar…

Wow, that Red Green show is hilarious. Plan to waste the rest of the morning on it.

Agreed. I'm sure there were many reasons it died, but my theory is that Google strategically wanted to kill it because the User was in control of the data-sources and the algorithm…

Just talk. Maybe 5 sessions? It basically boiled down to (in his case) "so your heart is beating fast? that's ok. not a big deal." It is always amazing to watch an expert in any fi…

My son was getting them for a couple years and the frequency was increasing. He was missing school. We tried all sorts of techniques that you can google. Finally took him to a clin…
