Maggots only eat dead flesh, so itās an important sign that heās not dead yet.

Quite a better blessing.

I certainly think the disgust reinforces itself after conservatives make moves to separate and
isolate themselves, therefore making the unease more pronounced in future experiences. I canāt see how it would not lead to more extremist behavior.

The hype around the original study really bugged me. Personally, I took better, more legible notes on the laptop than I ever did by hand. I could link things better with footnotes and reorganise in ways that made sense to me, without a billion scribbled arrows. (An added bonus was that the program I was in required a minimum typing speed to graduate. At the beginning, several other students mocked me. At the end, theyāre all moaning that theyāve got to put so much work in to get fast enough. But somehow it was unfair of me to not be worried, because I had been typing throughout the entire course (instead of merely when I had to for assigments). They didnāt seem to grasp the concept that the best way to get better at something is to just do it).
TL; DR: do what meets your needs and is best for you. Learning and retention is highly individualistic. Oh, and donāt mock other people doing what works for them.

Ugh, thank you so much for this.
My handwriting has been officially awful ever since I learned cursive. I learned how to touch type and really donāt write much anymore since Iāve been able to afford laptops.
I can totally relate to what you said about note-taking. Note-taking on a computer makes it so much easier to add context.

That still means individual cars on the roads. The number of cars on the road will not really go down, because people will still need to get where they are going at the times they usually need to. Individuals in cars is not going to solve our traffic problem (even if we do switch over to full election, which we should, of course). Iām not saying that individual cars need to go away, but that public transit needs to be part of this solution.

Oh agreed ā although at least it will help with things like how much land is required for parking lots.
I so wish I could take light rail to work. Iāve got two obstacles: one, I have a āreverse commuteā of going from a major centre to the burbs and two, the light rail wonāt even exist in the butbs for at least two years.

Still is a composer I run across periodically. Iām always surprised by two things: the thorough quality of what heās written and the fact that heās so obscure.
Itās good to get to hear a number of hus works and learn a bit about his life.
He would have been big like Gershwin, if he had been white. But we canāt bemoan prejudices of the past when heās still largely unknown today.

I love his channel even if he ruined my nostalgia for laserdiscs.

Ruined in what way?

Basically showing me that the quality wasnāt as good as I remember it, and bringing up memories of what a pain in the ass those discs were to handle.

This was a really interesting look at social stratification at Google. Iām sure most of us have seen the stories about the contractor underclass (which is pretty typical at any tech company) but this look at the under-underclass (and linked video) was fascinating.

Iām surprised those arenāt done by razoring the binding, and shoving them into an autofeed scanner ā at least for books that arenāt rare.

That would have trouble with the folded maps and the bookmarks. I took their presence [not being unfolded or removed, respectively] as evidence that automated page-flipping was more common than manual.
