Seriously, where do I go?
  • Was going to suggest this. Portland is rough to move to right now, it's very popular, so costs have been climbing pretty fast. But there are some decent suburbs, Milwaukie, Tigard, Beaverton, Vancouver.

  • What's the most stupid trend (or fad) you participated in yourself?
  • Laundry detergent economy is more efficient if your bottom-layer clothing items have lower mass. You can fit more short-sleeve shirts in the washer than long-sleeve shirts. So it's better to have thin, short-sleeve t-shirts as the bottom layer and thick sweatshirts for the outer layer.

  • A.I. can radically lengthen your lifespan, says futurist Ray Kurzweil.
  • I'm aboard the "AI is overhyped" train, but... if AI allows people to diagnose illnesses faster, that would absolutely lengthen some lifespans. It's actually a fairly simple conclusion. Maybe the guy is otherwise a douchebag, I haven't looked into him, but this claim is reasonable.

    What's the best possible justification for vandalizing a library?
  • Joke answer: someone thought "Branford Price Millar Library" was a dumb name

    Real answer: one facet of Portland being such a melting pot is that it contains some of the dumbest people

    Clearly these are not humanitarians, progressives or even true anarchists. Someone who wanted to enact change in keeping with their stated message would not vandalize a library. People who use libraries are aware of the issue. Heard of preaching to the choir? This was just a group of assholes being assholes.

  • Could death by starvation be delayed by drinking your own blood?

    Let's say you are dying of starvation. You pull one of your teeth out, causing blood to slowly seep into your mouth, which you swallow. The calories from the blood getting digested will delay the time you die of starvation, right? Or will losing blood while starving kill you faster?

    [Solved] Show where guy in college calls home asking for a photo of his car's hood

    The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

    The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

    What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components?

    I love these mechanics. Manually controlling a player character to run around a world doing these things is great for immersion.

    I've already played Skyrim and My Time at Portia.
