magicpin··on Keynes on the influence of furniture on love
A bed frame both increases the lifetime of a mattress, and the general cleanliness. This massive amount of round about thinking is pointless when your initial assessment of what’s going on is wrong.

I wouldn’t want to date someone who doesn’t have a bed frame not because not having some arbitrary furniture is weird, but because not having a bed frame is gross. And all these mental gymnastics you’re going on about saving $100 as someone who probably makes six figures screams to me that you have several massive misunderstandings about day to day living that will cause you serious health problems in the long run.

The last person I met that didn’t use a bed frame also used the dishes that he eats off to wash his outdoor boots.

Hell just the time sink of using a laundromat with defective machines vs filling up your own machine and moving over loads when it’s convenient for you
magicpin··on Men should abstain from drinking at least three months prior to conceiving
Alcohol is very caloric. A single shot of vodka can have 100 calories. Also it can increase blood flow to the skin, making you seem warmer than you actually are, at the expense of your internal body temperature.
magicpin··on OpenCola
Just because low sodium is an effective treatment for certain conditions does not mean it should be the default option.

magicpin··on The Open Buddhist University
That’s not really an answer.

A fun exercise is to calcualte the cost of some road in a neighboorhood, and compare that to the total collected property tax of all the homes along that road.
magicpin··on The persistent and pervasive impact of bullying in childhood and adolescence
I think the point the OP is trying to make isn't to police bullies, but to figure out the influences on the child to be a bully, and to correct for that, so that the kid doesn't bully in the first place.
magicpin··on Subprime loans for college hiding in plain sight
