It seem like for quite some time now, college itself is just a sorting mechanism to show you are bright enough to pass some courses and determined and organized enough to meet deadlines. The rest is mostly just fluff except for certain STEM fields.
I don’t think America is a caste system more now than in the past. And if I did, I’m still not sure how we could go about fixing that. It’s still a highly desirable country to live in with many paths out of the socioeconomic situation one was born in. Good role models are probably one of the...
A battle that all doctors and statisticians fight with is the power of an anecdote over boring yet true data. George Burns smoked and lived well past ninety. Doesn’t mean a thing.
Is there any rationale to back up this statement? Why is three the magic number? Having kids for end of life care seems pretty selfish, but regardless, I have one and thats the farthest thing on my mind.
As a middle aged doctor myself, I’m very happy to see the era of the patriarchal doctor who thinks they know best start to fade away. The patient should be in control of their body. No kids and twenty years old, fine, you do you. It’s insulting to think just because we have more medical...
Had it done, great decision and easy as pie. Just followed the stop instructions and wore some damn tight briefs for support for a week or so. It’s a super common Oreo duet and the vast, vast majority of people do great. It’s the squeaky wheels that are the loudest and don’t let that scare you.
I did a similar cruise for my honeymoon 13 years ago. I’m quite sure it was NCL as well. Departed from Seattle, stopped at Victoria, BC, Ketchikan, Skagway, and Juneau and also went into Glacier Bay Park. Normally I think cruises suck, but this was cool because you could always see land and...
This feels like some inside joke. For those of us including me, too lazy to look up Bill Christy or whatever, what’s the backstory here? Why is he worth ignoring?
I’ll be curious once the raffle ends, how many tickets get sold and how the odds for winning this compare to winning the mule deer super tag. That being said, I plan to buy a few tickets here regardless.
Living in a binary world is a simple and unrealistic way of going through life. No way around judging people to some degree, aka I don’t wanna live next door to a pedophile but I’m fine with a weed smoking hippy as long as he’s quiet at night. And the grunge element seen more often at certain...
I think many major cities have their nice parts, it’s just the headlines get made off the non-touristy areas. Chicago, Atlanta and Miami quickly come to mind in this regard IMO.
I know legitimate, upstanding citizens including doctors and lawyers with numbers that could rival or exceed these, so quantities by themselves aren’t too revealing. Illegal or nefariously
obtained is a different story. And as for investment purposes, I have heard of people legally obtaining...
“my people f’ed up Mars”? What is this referring to? And no I’m no Greta fan, she’s off the deep end , but you referring to it being cold at this moment where you are means nothing to me. Why is Glacier park nearly out of glaciers? And why do the vast, vast majority of scientists agree the...
I know I’m over simplifying this, but at the end of the day, burning things whether it’s for an internal combustion engine, heating water or a home, or whatever ultimately seems like a primitive technology. When I envision the future as in a 100 years out and beyond, hopefully it’s more like...
Regardless of any rule change, good luck getting a person to answer the phone. The place seems reserved for the entire season a microsecond after the phones open on the first day of booking in August.
I have one kid and that was plenty for my wife and I. I do have a friend that got married and was convinced by his wife to have one, and he puts on a cheery face but it sure seems he’s not happy deep down. They were nomadic like you, ski bums, carefree and frivolous. Now that has all...
I’ve wrestled with this myself for the last five years at least and always regretted not pulling the trigger the way land keeps creeping up. Coincidentally, I made an off today for straight land, no shop or house or any improvements. I’ll post back in a few days and let you know how the offer...
Ain’t this the truth. Science for science sake has battled politics ever since Galileo was ex-communicated for heliocentrism, continuing through Darwin and the continued push for creationism to be taught still, and currently most obvious with Covid and climate change.
