Entering pedantic mode: "But," in Paul's usage, isn't a preposition. And starting sentences with prepositions isn't considered "incorrect" by most grammarians[0]. Or even bad style…

There are so many complications when it comes to REALLY understanding the health effects of weed. The science is really tough, and underdeveloped. One problem is that there are so …

My bad, about the Epstein thing. Ungenerous assumption on my part. Sorry!

Interesting note about bail, but can we just...not re: the Epstein references?

Lived in China for a while. Us (admittedly, extremely white) American ex-pats had a very fratty attitude toward "the baij." Maybe it's because we could only afford the cheap stuff …

One advantage of paper maps, for me, is that they're much better at installing a 'model' for a city in your head. With digital maps, I can navigate from place to place to place pre…

Oh, people on such plans incur massive bills all the time. Suppose you're in a bicycling accident, you're knocked unconscious, and an ambulance takes you to a hospital that isn't i…

Jazz is so cool. "Look. Look where your hands are. Now."

Very good point! Envy has layers ! Hard to keep that in mind in the throes of it — but certainly a smart approach.

Really resonated with me. "Seeing the kid more often" is the hardest hitting observation. "Its just a fucking job" indeed!

I think everyone feels envious of a high-flying peer once in a while. Or at least, I definitely do. When someone younger than me, in my field, is making more money / getting more a…

Wow. Lived there for years, studied Chinese, and never noticed these little variations of thickness / weight / line height. What a cool peek into the obscure subculture of sign-cra…

For me, what's missing from the 'smartphone' // 'religion' analogy is — passion. The emotional tenor of my relationship with my phone looks — and, I'm sure — very different from th…

Wish more people talked about / knew this! How a big part of the reason the US healthcare system sucks is just a weird fluke of history!

I don't think the issue is so much that cities are too lenient on these people. It's more that the resources available to them are both inappropriate and inadequate. My wife works …

Someone should do an anthropological study. "Final Fantasy? The Enduring Influence of JRPGs on Web Development Practices."

Dubious evidence in medical studies is a big problem. But I'd argue that it's only the core of the issue. The second layer out — and I think the more influential layer — is the JOU…

Ha, your parenthetical definitely anticipated me. If I could RELIABLY score a solid 8 hours every single night, I would call $600/mo steep — but worth it.
