I'm lucky enough to have a salmon-bearing stream on my property here in the northwest. They are an extremely inspiring species to watch through their lifecycle. Tenacious.

I view it as an e-bike for my mind. It doesn't do all the legwork, but it definitely gets me up certain hills (of my choosing) without as much effort.

Yes. I got fitted for a mouth guard by my dentist, which I wear to sleep at night. My tinnitus was caused by grinding/clenching my teeth.

I was introduced to Daly's work recently through The Great Simplification podcast. I highly recommend this episode:

Any tips for buying used gear? I purchased three consecutive Nikon FEs off of eBay, and each one arrived with a different mechanical issue. I was lucky enough to be covered by return policies in those cases, but I'm hesitant to purchase again.

So is the goal just to fuel our current patterns of consumption and development with fusion, or nuclear, or whatever?

"Lake Powell, which some people consider the most beautiful place on earth..."

Nobody actually believes this.

What was so painful about it? Unless you're making some really significant changes to your models, Django's migration commands handle 99.9% of cases including most common edge cases. I can't imagine it being any easier, and certainly haven't seen any other web frameworks handling migrations any better.

I'm sure there are all sorts of negotiations and esoteric adjustments going on behind the scenes - $45k was the total of the itemized invoice sent to my insurance company. I'm unsure exactly of how much it will cost me out-of-pocket, but I'm expecting $3-4k.

My first kid was just born last week. The hospital billed my insurance company $45k. This is for an uncomplicated, straight-forward vaginal birth.

Why would 11,100 be recognized as a valid value to begin with?

This reads like religious dogma to me.

This is a gross over-simplification of an incredibly complex problem. For those interested in an analysis that goes beyond 140-character insights, please read A Small Farm Future by Chris Smaje. And for those uninterested, be cautious of these "common sense" hot takes.

For those interested in the subject, I encourage you to read Chris Smaje's new book, A Small Farm Future. Fascinating analysis of the existing state of affairs, and where we might be headed.

I'm having trouble seeing how this even makes the top 100 list of "most important".

It's ironic that you ask for a "fairer representation", and then go on to deliver an inaccurate, "reefer madness"-esque, culturally and personally conditioned caricature of psilocybin.

This comment has nothing to do with the article. You responded to half of a headline.

Not necessarily. Increased fire frequency is the primary hypothesis cited for why the population of Wollemia nobilis is so small today. They've absolutely seen fires in their past, but due to the nature of the physical isolation of this particular grove (incredibly steep, wet, narrow sandstone canyons), they've been insulated from the worst of it.

Isn't obsessing over the neurobiology of DMT experiences burying the lede? The far more interesting question in my mind is how mystical experience engenders lasting psychological benefit. And considering DMT's 5-7 minute half life, I doubt it has a lot to do with the physical brain.

Thanks, this fixed my issues with my local dev environment.

I stopped eating meat at the start of this year after reading "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Saffran Foer. My primary concerns were ethical. I'm not necessarily morally opposed to eating meat, but I am opposed to the inhumane conditions of factory farming.

I am shocked at how easy it was to stop. I always pictured some long and tormented inner battle, but the book made the necessity of the decision self-evident. I eat meat maybe once per month now, a 99% reduction in intake, with no significant physical or psychological struggle whatsoever.

Serious question, why post something for discussion if it's behind a paywall?

For those interested in potential viable ontologies other than reductive physicalism, I encourage you to read the works of Bernardo Kastrup. His most recent book, The Idea of the World, is well-argued and very interesting.
