If you have sound mental health and are extremely driven, are able to focus despite the courseload and competition, and you are confident you'll graduate on time, then pick MIT. Yo…

Meanwhile I love the word "deliverable." Sometimes it's hard to think of an umbrella word for all the things you produce. It can be anything from a stack of pamphlets coming hot of…

I think it's helpful to distinguish between "authors" and "publishers." We can see this play out in the traditional publishing industry. Authors are supposed to submit a manuscript…

A relevant essay: "No More Creepy Crawlies" by Anthony Pearce https://reckoning.press/no-more-creepy-crawlies/ The magazine also has a lot of cli-fi stories posted for free, so I r…

I think it's really funny that fantasy and DnD artists draw taverns as spacious inns with tons of rooms, when in reality most ancient people were sleeping together in the same room…

For prep work, you can store pizza dough as little balls, or pre-flatten them and put them on racks, freezing many more pizza doughs than bread doughs. Preparing a pizza crust is a…

Yeah, everyone conveniently forgets what is the second sin of Adam from the Bible (if they're subscribed to that belief system)

This is awesome. I wished they taught something like this in high school instead of God knows what's being taught nowadays.

First of all, there's plenty of whores if you think sex is a human right. Prostitution is the oldest profession. If we normalize sex work, people can meet demand without getting sh…

Monero is so underrrated. It's always "bitcoin this, bitcoin that" as if that's the only currency which matters. For now, since fiat onramps are pretty obvious, people report their…

There's a time and place for visuals. Geometry is a form of visual math, but how do you "visualize" models that go beyond the 3rd dimension...? For most people, trigonometry is eno…

It can't be much worse than relatives claiming you as dead so they can have your house, and then every government system denies you any service because you're "dead"

It's inertia. Why would an "account" be any different from a "wallet?" Or an "secret key" from "routing number?" And yeah the UX is not quite there yet. It gets better depending on…

You don't invest your life savings, just enough to where you can let it sit. Convert small increments to fiat when it's high, or purchase using crypto directly.

I think there was a study that showed psychopaths don't get addicted to drugs. Something something brain reward centers something. Or maybe it's anecdotal, a drug dealer's one cust…
