Interested in photography, real estate, transhumanism, handbells, and wry-wit. I love learning and teaching things; they reinforce each other.

@AndrewBrisbo With the @CityGrandRapids considering proposed zoning text amendments that would allow up to 6-unit residential units by right on larger streets, what would it take for the BCC to allow 3-6 units to use the IRC vs. the IBC like Memphis? https://t.co/l7n1wKMiDF

@mbontrager5 DR is great for people who are bad with money and bad for people who are great with money.

Yikes. Dave doesn't seem to understand safe withdrawal rates :/

[Marvin Bontrager, Ph.D. @mbontrager5]

From the Ramsey Show (November 2, 2023):
This disturbing video rant from Dave Ramsey demonstrates an ongoing ignorance of safe withdrawal rates and sequence of returns risk, plus a combative insistence on using 12% average linear returns assumptions over decades.

Dave publicly humiliates team personality George Kamel for merely suggesting that a 3% SWR could be used for a 30-year retirement timeframe.

The sheer volume of issues in the video speaks for itself.

@PresidntDelbani Looking forward to it!

Double standards reflect poorly on those that hold them. Worse on those that defend them after being called out.

President Trump: "I think mail-in voting is horrible, it's corrupt."

@carolelee: "You voted by mail in Florida's election last month, didn't you?"

Trump: "Sure. I can vote by mail"

Lee: "How do you reconcile with that?"

Trump: "Because I'm allowed to."

Best most useful advice I EVER got was from Jim Watson (DNA discoverer) over tea at his NYC apartment. 3 words, 2 meanings.

AVOID BORING PEOPLE.

I love Sagan so much. For anyone who didn't get to grow up watching his clear, simple explanations, his love of human aspiration and his inspiring turn of phrase, check out the video. These slow shots where he simply speaks to the camera are the signature of a bygone time.

Hey @davideagleman what's your take on neuropriming? Thinking about getting the Sport 2 from @HaloNeuro to increase my neuroplasticity prior to piano practice and wondered what your take on it was? Real science or all placebo effect?

For anyone who missed it, reposting this exposure guide at one week out. And again - don't try a new setting 1st at totality!

@ramit I haven't figured out how to make the biggest change in the world possible.
