Before the 1950s, clover was a STANDARD component of American lawns.

Seed mixes included it on purpose.

Then broadleaf herbicides were invented.

They killed clover along with "weeds." So the chemical companies rebranded clover as a weed — to sell more herbicide.

That's it. That's the whole story.

Clover is not a weed. It's the future of your lawn.

White Dutch clover (Trifolium repens):
Self-fertilizing — fixes nitrogen from the air into the soil. No fertilizer needed. EVER.

…and it feeds the grass around it for free.

Drought-resistant — stays green when grass goes brown.

Bee paradise — constant blooms from May to frost.

Chokes out weeds — dense growth shades out weed seeds.

No mowing needed (stays 4-6 inches) — or mow monthly.

Soft underfoot — kids love it.

Costs $5-10 to overseed 1,000 sq ft.

How to add clover to your existing lawn:
Overseed in spring or fall.

Scatter seed (2 oz per 1,000 sq ft).

Water lightly for 2 weeks. Done.

Stop using broadleaf herbicides (they kill clover).

Stop fertilizing (clover makes its own).

Mow at 3-4 inches.

The lawn industry told you clover was a weed so they could sell you chemicals.

Take your lawn back.

Seven Things This 63 Year Old Surgeon Would Tell My 40-Year-Old Self

I am 63 now, and I spend my days as an orthopedic surgeon watching how people's earlier choices show up in their bodies decades later. I see it in my college friends, high school buddies, and patients that I have known for 20+ years. If I could sit across from myself at 40, here is what I would want that man to understand. None of what follows is complicated, and all of it compounds over the decades… either against you… or in your favor. You are largely in control.

Nassim Taleb: the richest man in the Roman Empire woke up every morning pretending he was poor.

Seneca had more to lose than to gain from his wealth - so he rehearsed losing it. Every so often he'd live on bread and water as if shipwrecked, just to make the downside familiar and harmless.

That's the whole game, Taleb says: arrange your life so you have far more upside than downside - then randomness stops scaring you.

"Make more when you're right than you lose when you're wrong - that's antifragile."

"Always keep more upside than downside from random events."

"The Stoics aren't unmoved by the world - only by bad events."

@xucim666 @mart_mio Извините, вы нихуя не главную причину называете. Главные:

№1. Образ Запада - это престижно и круто. Если двигаешься с западом - ты крутой.

№2. Москали - лохи, уговаривают, просят их дешевый газ принять.

Если РФ не умеет в №1, то нужно жесточайше пиздить, во избежании №2.

Not every day you see an odds ratio of 50 (for interleukin-10 autoantibodies and a common HLA allele).
~80% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have this HLA allele
These individuals (~3.5% of IBD) may benefit from B cell depletion (such as achieved via CAR T).

Nassim Taleb sat down with Daniel Kahneman - two of the sharpest minds on risk ever - and the takeaway was blunt: stop trying to be smart

Kahneman's prospect theory explains why almost nobody can do what Taleb does

We're wired to hate the steady trickle of small losses his strategy needs - even when one huge win more than pays for all of them

So you structure it the other way: tiny safe bets plus a few wild ones, never the comfortable middle.

"You'd rather be antifragile than intelligent - any time."

"Trial and error is really just trial with small error."

"Make your gains in small bites. Take your losses all at once."

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

Nassim Taleb helps run one of the most famous crash funds on earth. His edge: having no idea what's coming

He and Spitznagel buy far out-of-the-money options non-stop, regardless of the news. They never forecast the crash - they just stay positioned so one shock pays for years of small losses

~10% a year in normal times. ~3,700% in a single crisis month

"We have absolutely no notion of the future. We just buy the options."

"If you have a reason in mind to buy an option, don't - it'll already be priced in."

"Up the escalator, down the elevator."
