I appreciate this non-judgmental description of what it's like to approach a topic/technology from a newcomer's perspective. Thanks!

My experience as well. Out of curiosity, do you experience endorphins after heavy exercises?

I don't know shit about farming but I still don't think there is a single true statement in what you've said. Why would a farmer not be expected to work a 40 hour week? What farmer…

That's awesome! Love that stubborn boldness.

Agreed. I believe the special sauce Calvinism added was equating those values with moral success/failure, and therefore spiritual salvation. It gave "not working hard enough" an et…

Oh what I wouldn't give for a copy of simfarm...

And while you're at it, #2

Might want to change that username before you make your pitch

The "same or substantially-similar policing job" is the key to this argument. Which it can't. A drone can't de-escalate a tense conflict between neighbors, it can't provide traffic…

Women's pro soccer. If you're in the US, we have access to some of the world's greatest athletes with World Cup champions and Olympic gold medalists in nearly every match. Even if …

I agree, we can - and should - produce enough food for everyone on earth to be happy and healthy. But nobody is saying "people shouldn't eat for free, therefore I won't grow crops.…

I think you gotta define where you're drawing the box. Depending on the context, "society" might be your nation, your office, or just a 1:1 relationship with your coworker.

I'd like to hear more

Bummer of a first post!

The promise/potential of ever-refining skills and agents drives this compulsion for me. "NEXT time it will be even better. And NOW it's set up to avoid the pitfalls I faced last ti…

I don't know. I clearly remember a time when phones first got cameras and there were debates on whether or not we should prohibit phones in public bathrooms. Perceptions changed. F…

You can't whitewash your statement by saying, "neither sex is responsible for this" after you've already twice accused women of "sleeping around."

BEAM robots are a stupid-simple way to start. A great project if you just want to follow some instructions and learn to solder, learn circuit components, play with low-power solar,…

After 10+ years of stewing on an idea, I started building an app (for myself) that I've never had the courage or time to start until now. I really wanted to learn the coding, the d…

Your heat pump ought to be venting the cold air outside in the first place. If you're pulling the heat for your water out of your conditioned air, yeah you're in a losing battle.

My dentist informed my me adult tooth root resorption (the same process through which baby teeth fall out) is correlated with cat ownership during early childhood.

If Im not mistaken, periods are ignored entirely. I regularly sign up for free trials with variations on first.last@gmail.com, firstlast@gmail.com, f.i.r.s.t.last, etc and they all…

The point still remains, it's not like I get double the healthcare if I increase productivity.

I've done the same as bartender or wedding photographer. There really is something to being integral, but not the focus of attention.

I'm tempted to try this experiment, but I get stuck at "what if my list of 100 things is subconsciously skewed by ads I'm already seeing?" It's the ads I'm seeing, but aren't regis…
