TimesOldRoman··on F.D.A. Plans to Seek a Ban on Menthol Cigarettes
The taste is the value. Mechanically it makes cigarettes easier to inhale.

Obviously sugar provides some calories, but no one is getting fat from the sugar in cigarettes. The caloric value is negligible.

Blizzard would like a word....
TimesOldRoman··on Ask HN: 40+ Career Advice?
This is me right now. I'm on sabbatical while I work some stuff out, but I'll go back to that problem unless I leave the company. Most management is ~10 years younger than I am.

TimesOldRoman··on SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft Beyond the Moon Next Year
As long as you stay near the Earth (the moon is close enough), our magnetosphere will protect you from radiation.

When you get interplanetary, like on a trip to Mars, radiation exposure becomes arguable the most difficult problem to solve.

TimesOldRoman··on Lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children
I skipped the 9th grade. My parents had the option of sending me from 8th directly into college but decided to only skip 9th because they felt I needed to mature socially.

In a way I resent them for it because am not satisfied with where I am in my life (figure I could have been much farther along by now in career/academia), even though I should be satisfied. On the other hand, I know they did what they thought was best....either way, I'm still socially a mess inside although I appear pretty charismatic when I try.

I guess I could have been a disaster without those high school formative years....it's up to me now at 37, I suppose.
