Plants VS Rule
  • It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.

    It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)

  • Why Do So Many Mental Illnesses Overlap?
  • I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

  • Gold for house
  • The meme may be true, but it is less meaningful than you might assume at first glance. The obvious comparison is those memes comparing wages or dollar values with house prices, where obviously inflation has made a huge difference in 100 years. However, you should compare it to other types of investment, so does a stock index grow as fast as home prices or not?

  • CATL expects to sell batteries at $60 kWh or less in mid-2024, that 12 months ago it sold for $125 kWh. With further predicted price falls, this will knock $5,000 off the cost to make EVs by 2025.
  • The 5000 refers to cars with bigger batteries than a 10.000 dollar car. Those might go down to 7 or 8 K, but new cars sold in Europe or the US will not likely go back down to below 15k. The necessary safety and environmental requirements, and minimum expectations on comfort, features and performance will likely keep prices relatively high-ish. Even the Citroën Ami is still 9k, and that's a 2 person city car with low range, barely any features, and loads of cost cutting. Awesome car, though.

  • I guess the question is whether or not the exposed sides are integral to sushi or not, and I think they are. It's like the 'how many holes does a straw have' all over again Edit: nevermind they said slice. So yes, definitely sushi. Although the jury is still out on a full stuffed crust pizza, or a jelly filled donut for that matter.
