I mean, he was a career farmer (and writer and teacher) not a homesteader. He had his pet issues with technology but he never advocated for isolating oneself from society. I wouldn't call it LARPing if someone just figures out the life

I think he'd be offended by the title of celebrity, but I know exactly what you mean. There was a documentary done on him several years ago, in part driven by Nick Offerman, in which Berry agreed to participate only if they didn't

I assumed they were referring to market crashes caused by irresponsible levels of risks and deceptive practices like we saw in 2008, and/or government-funded bailouts

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 doesn't have targets, goals, deadlines,

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 eternal consequence. It may not have been the f

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 redirection after an accident, or

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 you're not in the US, yeah you probably

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." You said it yourself: farms are left f

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.

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 time." You can feel the exponential engine

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. Fast.

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, etc. https://smfr.org/robots/

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 design patterns, etc, but truthfully, it was never gonna

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 come to my inbox.

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

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 registering on a conscious lev

I would not at all be surprised if they are listening. But isn't a simpler explanation that your in-law was googling driveway options, clicked through a link to see what the heck airport grad tar even is, and then google saw you were i

This is an excellent point. Especially because we often ascribe morality to hard work.
