I'm a scientist (B.S.) in San Antonio, Texas. I study chemistry, architecture, antiquities, ecosystems, and culture. #UTSAAlumni @PreguntaaAle is my muse.
@captmo9@KFCBarstool I don't understand how anyone would believe that a parking space adds value in any way. It's lost opportunity cost and a depreciating asset because it has finite value and can't be improved in any meaningful, scalable way
You probably shouldn’t live in a city unless you’re ready to give it what it wants
NYC wants your money but also your venturesome spirit, moxy, and ability to live cinematically
SF wants your heterodox ideas, hippy cultural inventions, and your skills to build algorithmic idols
Berlin wants you to take its govt $, form art collectives, and go to raves/sex clubs until 7am
If you live in a city and it still doesn’t feel like home, consider whether you’re willing to give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. If not, it might be time to change cities
@rebmasel It's like no one has ever read Alice Hamilton's autobiographies where she shares the horrors of industrial workplace safety in the early 20th century
@SiemensS700 @JRUrbaneNetwork This thing is amazing and they have like 3-minute frequency. There's already 12 subway lines in CDMX, and 7 Metrobus lines with these articulated buses in use. They're great cause they take away space from private autos along main thoroughfares. They help connect certain subways.
@tgbnyc@realEstateTrent Automobile ownership and operating costs already exceed 10% of most median wages. Median wage earners would benefit more from not owning a vehicle
Nature just published a piece on why probability doesn't exist.
Lee Cronin said many times chemical reactions are not real.
Your genetics professor probably confessed to you before that there are no genes.
Biologists still disagree on whether cell types are even real.
And we already discussed how there is no such thing as aging.
This summarizes one of my favorite parts of doing science - the longer you stare at your cherished concept, the more it disintegrates and becomes non-existent. Seems to be a universal feeling - struggle to describe reality with words and numbers - experienced by many across fields.
No need mate, I can feed an entire family from the shops with the income from my labour. Money left over too, which you can swap with people for goods and services.
