“Journal”, “it’s”, and “because” are all mispelled in the original.

The problem is there isn’t anything “useful” for understanding humans [in evolutionary psychology]. Yes we can come up with plausible evolutionary justifications for behavior like cooperation, but they are basically untestable and useless for predictions.
Edited to clarify I mean specifically evolutionary psychology.
For anyone wondering, this doesn’t actually work, because the bananas will realize they are upside-down.

Definitely a lot of our internal voice is post-thought, but crystalizing those thoughts into words can provide footholds for further thought. Some would argue it’s not possible to think through a complex issue without writing:
It’s a general rule of wine pairing that the wine should be sweeter than the food
The “SSH” picture would work for SSH tunneling
In this context “well regulated” means like a smoothly-running clock, with the implication being that militia members will need weapons for training and practice.

Well, in the beginning…

2·5 months agoDefinite agree with the core of what you’re saying, though for US and EU (and to a lesser degree “High income countries”), the numbers are quite close, as clean grid energy is significantly outpacing electric vehicle adoption (and EVs rely on a clean grid to be clean).

Effective systemic change requires changing the systems, not individual people or companies. If we want less virgin plastic or gasoline burning, it needs to be less profitable to extract oil, process it, and sell it to people who want it, otherwise somebody is going to do that.

The report describes living comfortably as spending no more than 30% of one’s income on rent.
This is abusing a crude, outdated rule of thumb that never worked in HCOL areas [1]. Put simply, if your rent goes up by $10K annually and all other costs remain the same, you only need $10K more per year to be just as “comfortable”, not $33.33K.
Granted, $35.1K is a lot (that would be 100% of minimum wage in Los Angeles). The median rent for a **1BR ** is $2.2K [2], so 26K per year (i.e. still too much).
In short, minimum wage isn’t enough to afford rent in L.A., but you certainly don’t need to be making $100K.
Is this p-hacking?
