I don't think this will cause unrest in China. The NBA is popular but not that popular. The underground economy is tiny compared to the past and shrinking.

galuggus··on Vaccine Distribution Shouldn’t Be Fair
Wouldn't it make the most sense to vaccinate the most socially connected people first?

Aren't they are the most likely to be superspreders?

However it would be deeply unpopular to prioritize people with the most Facebook friends

I've heard Bag* (for £1000/$1000) in American rap songs.

I believe this came via grime (originating in cockney heartland Bow) musicians using it >

> To help individuals with delusions, the current findings suggest, it may be more effective to examine their sense of control and choices than to try to convince them with contradictory evidence—which, over and over, has not been shown to work.

The psychiatrist Milton Ericsson, when treating a delusional patient who thought he was Jesus, said 'your a carpenter right? Could you make me some furniture?'

galuggus··on Memorizing a Deck of Cards
It made me much better at deliberately remembering information. I also believe it improves imagination. In the first place ( incidentally a phrase that originates in mnemonics) you are practicing making mental images. The less quotidian the better. Secondly you are required to put together wildly different objects to make easy mnemonics

Used the same one every time. I founded the easiest one to use was based on my house. The shorter the distance between objects the better.
galuggus··on Memorizing a Deck of Cards
A few years ago I got down to memorizing a deck of cards in less than 2 mins.

First assign a person for each card.

Use the initials of the card. So Ten of Hearts would be someone with the initials T H(eg Ted heath, Thomas Hardy). Choose a person that is visually easy to remember.

Then when you are memorizing the cards use the method of loci. Go on an imaginative journey with 52 places and put the relevant person in that place. It helps if the place is associated with an action. It also helps if the action is weird, rude or strange because these are the things we tend to remember. Similarly bigger, more colourful loud images are easier to remember than small dull, mundane ones. If you keep having trouble with an image /place then change it

I practised everyday when I had a spare 5 mins and eventually worked up to memorizing a full deck.all in all it took about two months and I learnt alot about my memory

I think it's been successful because they have reduced the friction for tipping.

You don't need a legal education to be a judge? Very interesting. Could you give some more information about this. Are judges elected or bureaucrats? How does someone become a judge? What parts of the US have this system?

I removed this feature for compatibility reasons.

I think there are ways to do it but I couldn't get it to work. I believe chrome makes exception to this rule for big trusted websites like YouTube
