Luckily you get the "extremely confident, even when wrong" attribute for free.

But always willing to admit the opposite is true and go with that on a whim.

This was great for the 10 mins it took to get through the whole playlist, then really jarring when it repeated.

If you were born in 1970, you (and presumably the people you grew up with) are ~55. The sample set in this particular study are 71-88 years old (plus 7 years after), so 16+ years older than you (years that also coincide with increased prevalence of noticeable dementia and neurodegeneration).


Driver-controlled aero has the potential to be way more interesting than the strictly-limited current DRS implementation.

The most interesting DRS era was in 2011-2012 when drivers could operate it (almost) anywhere they wanted in practice and qualifying. There was an element of risk in how early you could open it exiting a corner, and we saw real mistakes from drivers pushing that limit.

More driver controls leads to more opportunities for talented drivers to make a difference, which leads to a better sports product.

For a salmon-sized taste, Bartleby the Scrivener. Great annotated version here: https://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2015/10/herma...


Both Billy Bud and Bartleby are very focused on the human drama. If you are more interested in the sea rather, I'd suggest Typee and its follow up Omoo.


Wait? That was the moby dick guy?! Loved that Bartley story.


Yes, heavily disputed, to the point that there are widespread campaigns on the internet to normalize the various sovereignty claims under the guise of day-to-day conversation about those locales (e.g. conspicuously referring to them as being "in India" or "in Pakistan" or "in China"). For example, see the Google maps reviews for any landmarks in the area.
