Trail mix (never heard the word gorp before) is nothing new, neither is muesli. My version above, however, is low sugar and a complete protein with much more varied nutrition sources. Thought it doesnt taste quite as…
I understand you. We do disagree on some matters--Libertarianism really is just about liberty. Though much public misunderstanding exists regarding it.
>why would or should ideological motivation be relevant to whether or not any given act is legal or how it should be punished? When libertarians, for whatever reason, choose to start businesses in CA, they are…
Really neatly said. Sometimes it's worth noting the value in anlytical thinking that the user base at HN is able to produce. This (in my humble opinion) produces more valuable insights than what I'd find on cable news,…
Realistically, I need to go to Costco anyways, and I can buy these products in bulk as they have long shelf lives. Perhaps I spend 5-10mins extra at the store every 2 months, and another 5mins pouring everything in a…
Protectionism has proven to work well in some cases in history. You are also misunderstanding by conflating globalism with free trade. The two are related, but not the same. You can be for free trade of goods and…
I also think that is impressive, but it is about manufacturing and build quality. I'm talking about engineering design. A Honda has a lot of original and impressive engineering work in it. A lot of very smart people…
Not everything is about money. Hunting is a character-building expetience. I.E. I was taught to do it with certain respects paid to safety, the animal, and nature--so it teaches responsibility, respect, and other…
This is so German actually. I've been living in Australia the past year (which has a lot of Germans) and twice I helped someone change a flat tyre. Both times a German also came to assist, and both times it was an…
This is bizzarre headline to me. I find people in Austral-Asia smile the most, Eastern Europeans the least, and Americans somewhere in the middle. Just anectdotal, but Ive at least spent years abroad (but never to…
From an engineering perspective only (removing social/psychological attitudes from your mind) this is an interesting comment. Honda Company for years has output some of the best engineering in the automotive world,…
Re fundamental morals: I would wager >95% of people agree on these. I've never met someone who didn't have an understanding of fundamental morals, except for a few people whom I consider to be a psychopaths. I really…
The above cited manipulation in the NPR article on Franklin's quote is frustrating. I used to listen to NPR 10 years ago, but today I tend to tune out[1]. Yes Franklin said a quote in a context, it does not mean he did…
Thought crime (goes against the wishes of those in power) to say it but its true: reign in the military and CIA, stop bombing and meddling in other countries, close the borders and use the budget to fund a mission to…
Sure but Australia has a $22/hr min wage and absurdly good welfare and you can eat potato chips on it all day ig you want. China is rougher. But yes of course just because many do something does not mean its a good…
I lived in Houston where you cant eat anything near the coast. When I went to Australia it was incredible you can fish and eat almost everywhere/everything near the coast.
That's really incredible. It's sad to see educators like this get pushed out of their field. I had some incredible teachers as well, but also some awful ones. There needs to be greater competitive components added to…
That's a very interesting comment to me because I may be perhaps the opposite. I got a slow and frustrating start learning application development--I wasnt getting it. I felt I was following instructions on how to write…
Infrastructure is both less durable as well as less liquid. It also returns diminishingly as you engage projects on your opportunity cost frontier. Also likely to be less secure to military or political threats.
I know far more people who believe Trump represented military aggression and big business while Hillary'just wanted to help people;' which is a very strange idea given that Wall Street, the Military Industrial Complex,…
Locker rooms and showers full of men who are both overweight and are trying to prove their manliness.
You never played American Football, did you? Basically, if you have a small penis and gain weight (especially for already heavyset guys) everything around it grows while it doesn't get any bigger. This is otherwise…

I studied German and Japanese and it was very interesting indeed. However, what I was responding to is the common misnomer that language studies create cognitive improvements as my high school advisor and the above…
