Yes, this is a problem. Look at a typical truck from the 90s or so, they are tiny compared to today’s trucks. The same thing is true of cars. Today’s civic is as big as an accord used to be. Ther…

As a banjo player, I have heard perfect pitch defined this way: “Perfect Pitch: When you throw a banjo into a trash bin and it lands on an accordion.”

All this at a time when world poverty is in continual decline, medical science reaches continual new heights, crime is in multi-year decline, etc. It is often said that the average person today has be…

Just when it seemed EVs would never be beat.

Krugman. He couldn’t write a single sentence in an article about Europe without mentioning Trump. This is the same guy that said the internet was not going to be a big thing, made wildly incorrect pr…

Thanks for that— the poles sound like a great idea. Off topic, I love a New Zealand podcast called “Backyard Bluegrass”. The host is a walking encyclopedia of roots music, and he’s got great presenta…

Something that would help a great deal would be some very public, clearly worded predictions about future events that should happen. Climate scientists could help convince skeptics by correctly predic…

It’s like fertilizer, for jealousy.

That’s a good question. You know how all the people taking part in a robbery get charged with murder if just one of them kills someone? I’d view it like that. A cop that covers up corruption for a pa…

Slate has my interest. I don’t want to get stuck with a failed company EV, so I’ll be cautious. But man, they seem to have some good ideas so far.

Source? I have a close relative that’s a cop, he’s a really good person, father and husband. I’ve known several other cops and never knew a truly bad person.

Hot Springs, Arkansas was an alternative during that era. The nations first national park anchored the attraction, complete with eponymous hot natural water baths. All the big celebrities of the day …
