SpaceX is a company full of highly-dedicated, ridiculously hard-working patriotic Americans who went to prestigious American universities - both private and public - and is run by a extremely ambitious and innovative legal immigrant. The co

This is easily the best response I've seen to all of my questions, but it is all extremely optimistic and untested. There are always unforseen side effects whenever you steer the market in new ways. I would strongly urge that we carry

And as I mentioned elsewhere, "free rent and free food" was basically exactly what the rats were given in their utopia. All I'm saying is this: Before we start throwing free money around everywhere, maybe we should do some le

Again, the people building "amazing things in their spare time" are not the people to be concerned about!! The usefulness we'd get out of the creative top 1-5% of the population is far outweighed by the chaos that'd be

It has not been reproduced because society collapses every last time we attempt to get anywhere near it. See socialism. Chavez made all these same promises for free stuff, etc. It didn't work. It never works. Venezuela is now beyond do

> It means enough money to cover rent, utilities and food. Umm yeah, that's exactly what they gave to the mice. The fact that it hasn't been replicated is extremely concerning, and makes me wonder why.

Are we? If anything, I'd say we're on-average worse. Of course, anecdotal. So much blind optimism in this thread. I really need to get out, I'm clearly older and more jaded than you kiddoes

> So give people BI and they'll just get blazed/drunk all the time, and make other mischief, is that your assessment? Not everyone, but the noisy few will far outweigh those that are "culturally enriching" themselves

OK, so then when you give more to the lower class, and landlords increase rent.... guess who gets the majority of that newly printed income? The asset holders once again!! I don't see how basic income doesn't create more unforesee

The amount of wishful thinking in this thread makes me question how many of you have actually functioned in the real world. Have you ever met a group of landlords? Ever talk to any who deal with low income housing? You honestly think they

Of course it's not perfect. But when something we're proposing has once resulted in total catastrophe (complete end of civilization), it's worth researching a hell of a lot more. This is why I feel any democracy is eventual

Regarding inflation... if everyone instantly has $X now, doesn't $X become worthless? For instance, why would landlords not raise rents knowing that everyone now has this cash?

In the early 1970s, animal behaviorist John Calhoun built a "mouse utopia" to see what would happen if he created the perfect world for mice, with unlimited food, starting with four males and four females, that could reach a popul

Yes, taping is a great strategy but if you have bad tongue placement or just a physical nasal airway restriction, you might not be ready. ENT is your first stop, in my experience. Schedule it up!

by MicroBerto 10y ago
An ENT may be able to help if it's a physical problem. Tongue placement at the roof of your mouth is paramount though. It will help open the nasal sinus. If you can't put your tongue up there, you may be tongue tied, and can look

Offtopic, but have a look into myofunctional therapy. Get better at nasal breathing and you'll be amazed at the results. Life changing.

My theory is that hotels often have thick doors and very solid locks and deadbolts. Plus the added "security" of the front desk... Makes it feel more secure.

The biggest and scariest issue is that all of these celebrities are going completely unreplaced. I am a fan of rock and heavy metal, and it is clear that rock stardom is literally dying off. The days of filling American arenas with rock con

I have it on good authority that supplements will be coming too. Probably starting with basics like a multivitamin.... No clue how deep they'll go though.
