I'll second this. I've struggled with my weight my entire life, even though I'm always successful once I find the motivation to keep to a weight loss diet (which, incidentally, is NOT the same diet as long-term "lifestyle change)." The mirror is terrible motivation for me because even when I've lost as much as 50

I'm gobsmacked by the ingenuity here. I have a 13-year-old son who's deep into Minecraft, and I am delighted about it. As for the haters, I tell them what I tell my son: Genius is drawn to seemingly intractable, sometimes trivial problems because they hone thinking skills in ways that build even greater genius. Like

Yep... I'm one of those who doesn't know when to shut up. I hate it about myself, but never realize I'm doing it until way, WAY into gabbing.

Let's be clear about the science here. It's true that modern science has demonstrated no single incident of prescient dreams. Further, cognitive bias is definitely a logical demon that most certainly causes negative evidence to be ignored or forgotten while supportive evidence is viewed as highly relevant. Finally,

Kudos to the author for the open minded acceptance of a critique! The article is excellent, but the author's attitude is stellar!

Poof futures are through the roof, so manufacturers have resorted to adding extra cheese to compensate.

Probably the most misunderstood aspect of space photography is that most of what you see are tiny specks in the sky you can only see with a huge telescope. The famous image of the Andromedia galaxy is my favorite example: We see that image and think that somewhere in the sky there's a tiny spot where we can aim a
