If we dial into any number of our "higher level behaviors", you can often go all the way back to "survival". Play is an important part of skill acquisition, and the easiest way to incentivize it is to make it "fun".…
Watch any number of animal documentaries. Animals (particularly mammals) of all kinds engage in play, whether children or adults. I find it odd that anybody questions the idea.
What graphics card and which drivers? It's especially problematic with older GPUs, but with modern ones it's largely fine and none of these issues show up as much as they apparently did for you.
I'm disappointed that the study focused on over-60's. I've felt extremely lonely since the pandemic started that I've only recently been able to counteract with in-person meeting with friends. Online contact doesn't…
Since the pandemic started, I've switched from hitting the gym to buying dumbbells so I can train at home. I've made huge strides in muscle mass and strength. Even just 30kg in plates can last you months if you haven't…
As climate change affects more and more of Africa and the Middle East, we're going to see the EU drift towards more of a cohesive nation state by necessity. Just a few million refugees from Syria sparked a tide of…

I think the environmental impact is overstated. There's a healthy second hand market that thrives because of companies buying laptops and eventually selling them. I've gotten plenty of great laptops at great discounted…

Huh, checked some of my older accounts and none of them matched each other. So I must be doing something right.
Go back a hundred years and "national defense" was just a part of European culture. What's changed is that in the post-World War period, Europe was necessarily domesticated (aside from the UK and France) and made to be…
You can say the same thing about the internet. Avoid the toxic sites. Go to the good sites. But you'd have a hard time arguing that the internet isn't a useful tool.
Uh, okay? I'm not sure I need tips on improving my running mileage while I'm at work either. Doesn't make Reddit useless.
I'm not aware of any better site to find information on special interests. Just avoid the toxic subreddits. Reddit is way too useful a resource to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Unless there were any known reasons at the time as to why CureVac wouldn't be able to create a functioning vaccine, I'm not sure how it's any use to anybody to take this position. There are no sure bets. There are going…
