I had perfect hearing in that ear, smoked a high THC joint, and felt immediately congested. Congestion usually makes hearing diminish temporarily. But the next morning I still felt congested and then spent several weeks trying to yawn it

"Teen Marijuana Vaping Soars" is objectively not great news. Subjectively it might be great news if the vaping THC dose was low, but it is not. There is no technology that makes alcohol 100X stronger for todays teen than what it h

I am not sure this is possible without extensive training. I once had a an assignment to meet with someone I had come to despise. But my face cringed just at the thought of sitting across from this person. So before the meeting I put a fake

In the U.S. there is one presidential candidate championing a UBI of $1000/mo. It would be paid for by a VAT tax. Typically VAT tax is unpopular because it is regressive. But the UBI more than compensates for the extra tax burden.

Does anyone know if there is existing terminology for Class A/B ? Investor class / working class ? Or maybe capital class / labor class. The typically discussed classes in the US are lower, middle, upper which I always took t

IIRC there is a regulation in the US that ensures the front of a car is designed so that a pedestrian is thrown over the car instead of under it. It is one reason so many new cars look alike. Does a truck have any such requirements for pede

At the very least, buying drugs in person comes with the risk of getting punched in the face in exchange for your money. In all honesty, when I was young buying street drugs was appealing for the hustle, risk, excitement, and mischief. Ofte

I meant someone who at least occasionally mentions a book they are reading / have read. This implies that they want to learn, much like a student.

I've taken this even further. I no longer correct any factual mistakes or misspoken words unless the person making this error is either a student or someone who reads. Even then it may be best to not say anything.

IIRC when Japan hit that "2X" mark circa 1991 it lead to an economic stall that appears to be permanent. Their economy has been stalled / zero-growth for almost 30 years now. They are cautionary example not an aspirational on

The US is ruled by two political parties and neither care about the debt. Saving for a rainy day during times of prosperity is the exception rather than the rule. If we owe future generations anything it is 1) a sustainable environment and

A sibling comment in this thread also applies here. "No good deed goes unpunished!"

IIRC a Ronco YC talk where he declared "procrastination is the devil". Except for unusual circumstances, waiting until the last day on a legal matter is unprofessional. I feel like I am misunderstanding this post.

My website has one affiliate link to Amazon page and a PayPal Buy It Now button (implemented as a form). Chrome's console message suggests I add 'SameSite=None' and 'Secure'. Any advice on where I would add those pr

Around 1988, I read a book that claimed the ideal robot hand would have fingers that repeatedly bifurcate until it has a digit so small it can manipulate matter at the atomic level. Implausible but fun to think about.

This is like saying you don't get why some men don't always wear condoms. For some, riding without a helmet is vastly more pleasurable and thrilling.

As someone who accidentally killed a small bull while working on a free range ranch, I can tell you that cows are surprisingly sentient and sensitive. The dead yearling's mother-cow howl-moo'ed the rest of the day and into the lat

What about from an ethics standpoint ? Is there less suffering when you compare a single 300 pound factory farmed pig to 3 100 pound pigs ?

That number seems 20X higher than what I would have expected. Either the bar to be a nomad is meaninglessly low (e.g., works occasionally from local coffee shop) or I've grown out of touch.

About 36 years ago I was abused by two camp counselors in one summer. One of them fractured my sternum when he punched me after I mouthed off. I still have the bony ridge and slightly deformed pectoral. But the other did much worse leaving

One could argue that it isn't the stabilization of specs but that of appearance that is harming sales. Many consumers purchase an over-priced product/brand because it is over-priced if they can show it off in public. But that on

IIRC technically patent law prohibits you from making it even if you don't plan on selling.

The tax law is written to incentivize desired behavior. We all benefit when you save for retirement so that you aren't a burden to society later. But loopholes are different. If you discovered a loophole that made it so your landlord c

But making them equal is the goal. When they are unequal we create moral hazards. Moral hazard like this has to be least appealing part of having shareholders.

Thanks for sharing your story and glad to read about your positive experience. Just a comment regarding your advice to others. I went to bed with perfect hearing and then woke up with 90% hearing loss in one ear (sudden nerve deafness). Som

“There is NO MORAL ISSUE with stealing from a store that forces you to use self checkout, period. THEY ARE CHARGING YOU TO WORK AT THEIR STORE.” The above sentiment is the basis of one of my favorite comedy bits by Bill Burr: https:/&
