Most people that own a $2 million home don't want a toilet for homeless people in front of their house.

The 2 reasons I drink:

1. I'm bored.

2. I drink when I go to bars to meet people and have interesting conversations. While I can make conversation with anyone, many people aren't that interested and it's boring to sit around waiting for something to happen.

I have hobbies but they aren't something I want to do at 8PM on a Friday or Saturday.

I only drink on Friday and Saturday and I rarely get hungover.

Axe throwing is an adult activity. When I was a child I only threw knives.

It's hard to sympathize with people that play games in casinos that clearly state you will lose on average 3% with every bet.

The biggest thing for me is just learning to accept that the problem exists and I will find the solution eventually.

Sometimes I allow myself to be annoyed that the code isn't working and that is the wrong mindset.

Everyone will experience problems but suffering is a choice.

You can suspend your Audible account as well. This allows you to keep your credits but you won't be charged.

Cover the branding labels on your bike. The thieves want to steal expensive bikes, not a walmart bike.

I used white engineering reflective tape. They'd have to be very dedicated thief to notice to the Deore XT components.

Plus, the reflective tape is very visible at night.

Container ships witch ICE travel 20 knots/hr.

Sail ships average 6 knots/hr and wind is less consistent.

There are some companies working on Kites to reduce fuel consumption. https://www.airseas.com/seawing

Human healthcare has 3rd parties subsidizing the bills. This makes consumers price immune. Plus most surgeons can't tell you accurately how much the total bill with be because insurers pay different rates for same procedure.

Vets are mostly out of pocket payments.

Private Healthcare is the Classic Agency Problem.

Even knife sharpening has Gatekeeping.

On many forums some people think that ceramic pull sharpeners will ruin your blades and you should use stones and oil.

I've been using ceramic pull sharpener for 30 years on the same $100 chef knife.

It's still in better shape than 95% of the knifes I've used in other people's homes.

We don't have a direct democracy nor should we want one.

The stock market is a type of direct democracy and look how unstable it can be.

My local MLS has youth development teams.

Soccer will only benefit from the decline in youth American Football participation.

Most people would not know how to identify the most skilled vet clinics.

For consumers to make informed choices, they need to have some understanding of the domain.

If a Vet says Rover needs a XYZ procedure, how would the pet owner understand what a fair price is or what other treatment options are?

Airships fly 2x the cargo with 2/3 the fuel a plane would use.

You could have luxury travel with dance floor and bar in the front and sleeping cabins and air freight in the back.

An air cruise over the Rockies or up the Appalachian trail when the leaves turn would be swank.

Slow float over Mt Everest.

The irony is that 1/3 of the passengers walked away from the Hindenburg crash vs 100% casualty plane.

The bad optics in an era where there was little video competition really set dirigibles behind for a century.

Hydrogen should be the Lighter than Air gas choice for airships.

The 2 parties have also legislated to ensure only they can make it to the stage.

For a 3rd party to participate they must be polling over 15%. Dems and GOP allowed on stage often only poll at 4%.

15% polling with the political machine of our News apparatus and the 2 parties is almost impossible unless it's a celebrity running.

It's probably slugs and not squirrels.

Slugs will eat 1/2 a tomato in a night.

My friends were talking about his. If a food shortage hits the plan is to consume the perishable stuff while massively cutting calories.

The goal is to reduce excess muscle and reduce the metabolism.

Rip off the bandaid and then the food rationing won't be as uncomfortable.

After a few days of fasting you lose a lot of your hunger.

Rice will keep you full but our body requires protein and fat to live. Carbs are optional.

I Olympic lift so I always have whey.

It's ironic to me when women choose successful ambitious men to marry and then complain these same keep striving to climb up the corporate ranks.

Betting on footie seems like a long term loser.

The bookmakers cut guarantees you will lose over the long run.

Living in 100F+ heat might with no fans might make you suicidal.

I've broken 2 of those. Don't try to crush more than 2 cloves of garlic at a time.

Disposing the salt is a problem however there has been some exploration of using the salt brine as a building material.

I have known a lot of "dancers", I lived in a high rise next to an upscale joint.

The biggest problem is that their professional skills are fleecing men out of money.

"Who has deep pockets and how can I get the most money out of them?"

It's not like you can just turn off that mentality once they quit.

Your brains processes stuff in your sleep.

After some time off, I play much better the next day after practice than if I were to play immediately after practice.
