I'm not sure but I think it's permanent. If you don't mind getting balder than you currently are, great.

I can tell you it'll make your hair fall out.

And maybe make you 20% less anxious/more focused, but honestly it's hard to say... actually, in retrospect I never experienced acute anxiety when I was experimenting with it. Certainly worth a shot.

Odd. All the recent grads I know are skirting 7 because they hate their jobs, and so far it hasn't backfired.

> I volunteer a tremendous amount in education, where I’m the only male I generally even see in my field, and I constantly have to listen to my coworkers gleefully talk about how excited they are at how few young boys show up to our events. I hear them blatantly express disdain when a couple do.

There was recently a study that found the same decline in dogs, which suggests an environmental cause.

Ok then, tell me the last time you saw someone flirt with a stranger.

Actually the rules are even simpler than that:

1. don't.

Pooling is a nice cost saving innovation.

The sheer length of the post, for one.

Except this person DOES sound pretty snooty and self absorbed

Isn’t that sort of like saying most humans die because their heart stops beating?

The die-off started in the 70s when climate change was < 0.5C. OTOH, the story of globalization introducing pests/pathogens to naive populations is an extremely common one, and there's no reason to doubt it here.

Corn was actually a generic term.

What region of the US is this?

It's true! Rule of thumb (which may surprise people) is that cars, boats and planes are all about the same for grams CO2 / passenger mile.

So if you commute 10 miles to work every day, they are similar.

This is essentially the mechanism the article describes... I think the most plausible explanation is that it's dazzle camo, the question is what species does it dazzle?

So put in your wife’s purse and say you spent the day with your wife (maybe spousal privelege would be useful there)

The unicorn story struck me as being structurally very similar to the standard wire stories about new species discoveries. That's probably why it's the best of the bunch.

Honestly, it seems like you didn't read the OP very closely as there are several points where she seems to agree with you.

> Everything in mathematics is divorced from reality. Unbounded integers are divorced from reality. (Once you move beyond naive realism, bounded integers are divorced from reality, but that's a deeper philosophical debate.) The only question is whether these models are more or less effective for their various theoretical and applied purposes.

It's a matter of degree. You can't point to a particular large integer as being "too large" to matter in real life, but there are plenty of objects in measure theory (like unmeasurable sets) that blatantly violate physical intuitions and don't seem to exist in any sense in real life.

This blogger is not very credible... have a sample of some of his other posts

A very small fraction is sequestered as topsoil.

Ted was right.

The top 1% control 40% of the US's wealth, while the next 9% after that control... 36%. But most of that 9% still have to work at something resembling a real job.

So I see nothing wrong with focusing on the top 1%.

Not clear to me what that quote is saying. Doesn't that just encompass any possible excuse?

I think WPD is genuinely important. There are edgelords, sure. Watching and thinking seriously about what I saw there changed my perspective on life.

> The climate skeptics don't say tree trunks will get wider, they say there will be more plant biomass.

Speculating that plant biomass might help mitigate global warming doesn't really deserve the label "climate skeptic." It's already confirmed that rising CO2 affects crop growth rates.

What do you mean? They're mostly a retailer aren't they?

Re-labeling and re-arranging actions in a sequence seems like a pretty shallow example of "abstraction."
