In the US, if both partners earn similar wages, they pay more taxes once they marry. So it's a tax penalty.

In contrast, in the metro in Paris, the doors open a few seconds before the train stops, so that the doors are fully open by the time the train is stopped - and passengers in a hurry can jump out while the train is still moving.

I absolutely want to do something like this to help me and my family spend less time watching our phones in the evening.

Does anybody know of a reasonably-simple way of either increasing the latency or throttling the bandwidth, per-device, with programmable hours? For example, is there any wifi router that lets you do this?

Not a psychology researcher, but I think that the Milgram experiment has been fairly well replicated. Please anyone let me know if not.

I personally found it to be non-obvious.

There's another thread linking the same article, and it's very unclear that this loss of weight is caused by the mental effort.

If thinking hard required a lot of energy, wouldn't we expect that thinking hard would cause an increased heart rate and faster breathing?

This is horrible. I see horrible scenes in the city streets on a regular basis but seeing the picture of this poor tiny little baby on the pavement hit me hard.

Anybody here had experience dealing with that kind of cold? I'm curious how people deal with with. Is that something that good equipment can protect against or is it just too cold?

Where do you live? In SF, last time I tried to get the cops to come out of their desk (to arrest a bike thief who was selling my stolen bike literally 3 blocks away from the station), they told me that they couldn't do it.

"My school had waterboarding on the menu".

When and where did you go to school?

+1, this would have been super to me too when buying a car with the constraint of having a tiny garage with a weird shape.

What I really wanted was a tool that lets me draw the plan of the garage and then tells me if I'll be able to park my car, and the margin (min offset to wall during the whole maneuver).

I couldn't find that at the time sadly.

My dad had one! Another interesting about them is that the wood is decorated with patterns that are carved on it as the wood is alive and still growing. They're beautiful, I have never seen that technique anywhere else.

A kid in my 3yo son's preschool class tested positive today, and they are asking that all kids test twice (with a few days in between) and wear masks at all times while at school for the next 6 days. I'm in SF

My intuition is that people underestimate the impact of forcing kids and toddlers to wear masks.

What I observe is that for folks without kids, life has gotten back to normal, but somehow everything related to kids is still over cautious.

> saturated animal fat doesnt cause heart disease

Can you please tell me more? I would love for this to be true, is there evidence for this?
