How about this scene from It's a Wonderful Life. Is this movie still popular at Christmas time ? https://youtu.be/6SLDMMGzkyI?t=61 But regarding torture, in the 70's Christian/Roman era themed movie were comm

IIRC DNA methylation (sp?) is used in blood tests to determine the rate at which you are aging biologically. This article does claim that the children who are touched less develop at a slower in addition to having a lower DNA methylation.

Perhaps evolution has partially tuned the mixture of personality types that is optimal for us as a species. For example if there is a leadership gene then it should be ~10 times rarer than the follower gene . There could also be epigenom

Years ago I just accepted being "hangry", and "that 3PM feeling" as a consequence of being thin. With low body fat, of course I can't skip a meal and I need to drink a bottle of Gatorade while I sit at my desk and c

"What option women settle on because of that isn’t yet clear". Well from my experience it isn't settling for an older man. When I was in my 30's and making $100K+ I tried on-line dating and was pleased at how many desira

It can be difficult to predict the knowledge gaps in a high school kid, even the "intelligent" ones. A smart friend told me that a score of 800 is all it took to "pass the SAT". He said you could get into the best colleg

Well if you casually observed the last two generations of my Hispanic family, you would say we made it work too. But that is because the culture pushes the youngest daughters to not get married and have no children. So now we have multipl

One of most surprising headlines I saw this week is that in NYC you can be fined $250,000 for calling someone an "illegal immigrant". I can understand that such an accusation may be slanderous under civil law. But the criminal law

As much as I want to believe climate change can mitigated by individuals making conscientious decisions, it seems as naive as telling someone in 1970 that if they care about the smog then they can just buy a catalytic converter for their ow

A "startup" typically implies hyper-growth. That means raising money, hiring, and motivating the team to execute quickly, all of which is easier with the right vision/idea. If you were a VC or a prospective employee deciding

"To enroll, brands need to provide a government-registered trademark number." I had heard some US sellers get a trademark from a foreign country since the process is often faster and they can then enroll in Brand Registry sooner.

On our current trajectory, "who pays" isn't the most pressing issue. Suppose Medicare for All does save 10% as the article claims, if the cost just keeps rising then it only buys a little more time before no entity can foot t

The human mind is susceptible to priming. When I read the SciAm article earlier this week I was sure I read "200 Billion" since that is what I was expecting. But upon reading the conclusion that number made no sense and I swear t

It is a pity the human mind can become a dark abyss. Be careful indulging thoughts of revenge. They will subside with time, but then decades later you find yourself in a dark place again and all those re-enforced feelings will bubble up aga

By that argument I should be paying the state of Arizona a portion of this windfall because that is where it started. But as soon as it became profitable I moved to CA. I paid CA every year on our profits, payroll taxes, and sales taxes. It

Another potential drawback is that if I were a teenager, I would get MoviePass and just treat the theater as my social club. If a movie was a boring drama that targeted older folks, I'd totally MST3K it with my pals[1]. Granted, I am f
