Re: hmm.. which car?
Except in Norway, they made the electric car so appealing that households that would have been limited to one instead bought two cars, with pretty much no infrastructure tax benefit. Countries should introduce EV subsidies in a way that doesn’t widen inequality or stimulate car use at the expense of...

Re: chatGPT
@jennypenny Np. There are lots of places (besides Amazon) you can set up a paperback (or hardback, whatever) for print on Demand and only sell to yourself. A print run is cheaper, yes, but once the book is set-up, you can order more copies later. You can even update, etc. Maybe a combo of the two ve...

You could set up a subscription service on a place like ream. Only your subscribers would get your content. I think some authors plan on hiding out there.

Re: C40's Journal
A nicer way to say it would be “those answers are in the journal.” No need for unpleasantness.
Also, C40, it’s been a while. How is the language school going?

Re: My Principles for Income Investing
Reading the Permanent Portfolio might bring you some interesting information for allocations if you are risk adverse. https://www.amazon.com/Permanent-Portfolio-Long-Term-Investment-Strategy-ebook/dp/B0097VBOHG At the very least it covers deflationary periods, and high interest periods, both of whic...

Re: I Was Once Found But Now I Am Lost
According to my vet, bats making their way inside is the number one way 100%- indoor cats get rabies. Unless it is a shots-for-all fest, I’d not recommend sicking a cat on a bat.
Of course, I might have an abnormally close relationship with my particular cat.

Re: How much do you worry about routine exposure to toxins? (Cleaning products and additives linked to cancer, etc)
I have chemical sensitivity, so don’t have much choice. My body lets me know pretty quickly. My dream is to build my own house, not because I want to have a luxury house, but because I could keep formaldehyde etc out. Barring that, an old house is best. Solid wood and plaster. Things already vented ...

Re: COL comparision: eye surgery vs contact lenses vs eyeglasses
With glasses you can buy differentials, i.e. lenses that are 1 to 1.5 diopters lighter in strength, for use at the computer. What you don't want to be doing is having glasses that are great for far vision (if you're near sighted) and then using the same glasses up close. That is how vision gets prog...

Re: Personality typing by brainscan
Has anyone mentioned Clifton Strengths? This comes at from the paradigm of why develop something you’ll only ever be adequate (at best), when you can develop something you are naturally good at into something spectacular. In the end I find it as useful a tool as Mbti, although in different ways.

I liked MySpace too. Seemed to meet more cool people than any other place since. I don't know how either... we all seemed to stumble upon one another.

As a physicist (phd), with a physicist father (phd), he gave me some great advice: you won’t always understand everything the first time you see it. Just memorize the rules in those cases and trust the understanding will come. These were pretty rare occasions, but that advice helped a lot in those. ...
