The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.

love God, love Jesus, love your wife, love your kids. if you don't know God, get to know Him. if you don't have Jesus in your life, invite Him. if you don't have a wife, get one. if you don't have any kids, make as many as you can. i think that's it

it's probably ideal to do 5-10 hours per week of manual labor. most people are likely doing too much or too little

this is cruel to the very residents they are supposed to serve and should absolutely be adjusted to a safer volume

ideally, emergency vehicles would try to balance the competing goals of "make sure drivers hear our sirens" and "don't cause pain and hearing damage to the people around us" in practice they completely ignore the second goal and make the sirens as loud as physically possible

Judging by the behavior of middle-and upper-middle class families, the single biggest pro-natal policy change the government could make is abolishing car-seat rules above age ~4. It's the binding constraint on a lot of 2-kid families that would be 3 or 4 otherwise
@TPCarney So what's the conservative solution to low fertility Noah's unaware of?

if you have irrational psychological hangups about your ratio of assets to equity, you should try to get over that rather than destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars of wealth by leaning into it
Almost everyone is saying that Barbell should not have paid off his low 2.65% loan and instead should have invested it and at least get a risk free arbitraged return instead. That’s what I would do too. Buuuuuut I will play devil’s advocate here. Sometimes the psychological

revealed preference is that my uber driver would rather get stabbed in the ear than wear his seatbelt since his car is beeping quite loudly as a result of him not wearing his seatbelt

I love NYC. But listen to this video. You can’t even hear SMG’s important message over the city sounds. It has to have a detrimental impact on a person’s mental health over time, right?

They're concerned about 'early retirees' but not people buying a first home or starting a family. We are governed by a gerontocracy that cares about keeping anyone over 50 living in luxury, subsidized by you, creating more debt we have to pay back. Saturn devouring his children
Early retirees like Bill & Shelly will see their health insurance premiums increase nearly 300%—from $442 to $1,700 per month if Congressional Republicans refuse to extend the enhanced tax credits. That's an extra $15K a year families can't afford. https://t.co/Uvo6sYi7YR

this is $100/household
Apparently, Americans are expected to spend over $13,000,000,000.00 for Halloween. That is $13 Billion…with a “B.” Also, the average American is $23,000 in debt, not including mortgages.
