People like you give me hope for the world.
Same for me. I spent the first 45 years of my life breathing almost entirely though my mouth. Then I tried some nasal spray that was great, but made the situation worse when I inevitably overused it, so I went to a…
I send $3 U.S. with QSL (ham radio) cards. It seems like everybody is able to convert that to local currency to cover postage.
How is it known or tested to verify that "animals don't choose compassion over selfishness, they merely make an instinctive survival cost-benefit analysis"? I'm not disputing it, but I've never understood how we can say…
Is there something more than prediction going on? I'd like to understand why there would be studies like this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.02477 if it's all just prediction. Are there some algorithms that are called…
It was probably a bad choice of words, but chosen for a reason. I'm guessing of course, but I think the people that picked those words knew what they were doing. They wanted to appeal to people who think the police do…
When my dogs were alive, they had ketamine shots once a month (I think) and that seemed to help quite a bit.
This is all speculation based on things I've heard, so take it with a big grain of salt. I used to be on a forum with somebody who posted about having an excellent relationship with his dead wife. He said they interact…
These are very interesting. I used to be convinced that NDEs were either made up, or the brain rebooting or something like that. I'm not so sure about it anymore. I'm not religious (not anti-religious either), but there…
I'm not diminishing anything. I'm just not willing to condemn people without taking into account extenuating circumstances. People regularly justify things that are not justified. When there's a lot of pressure,…
Or a person with a sick kid, or who is about to be evicted, or who made some bad financial decisions or for some other reason is about to run out of food money. In those situations it's very easy to rationalize that the…
My experience with ham radio has also been positive. I've been a ham for about 14 years now, and I can't recall any bad experiences. Most of the contacts are barely more than signal reports, but any conversations I've…
Is there some demographic data that shows that "public nuisance hackers" are mostly right-wing libertarian?
Did something change or am I missing something? I've used Opera, Chrome, Edge, and Arc and I didn't see any ads at all.
My wife and I are from the U.S. She's from Belarus, but has been in the country for 30 years. We went to France about 10 years ago. I was semi-expecting the stereotype (rude, arrogant), but everybody we met was nice.…
I think unguided natural processes plus deep time plus multiverses could also be an all-concompassing explanation that can't be proven wrong.
This isn't specifically about Honda quality, but I think it's a nice Honda anecdote. My wife bought a used Accord before we got married. Eventually it died on the highway and we had it towed to the dealer. The engine…
Thanks for the references. I will check out David Suich and his Youtube interviews!
I have a similar interest in NDEs. 30 years ago I "knew" what they were. Now I'm not so sure. Do you have any links to articles about the blind people knowing what color clothes people were wearing? Thanks.
