- Comment on What's the point of the "Airport Security" (aka: TSA) in the USA? Does the "Airport Security" ever actually scare away potential terrorists? 2 days ago:
Passengers will not allow disruptions anymore either. The assumption now is that everyone will die if you don’t do something.

- Comment on How exactly do insurance deductibles work? 3 months ago:
Short answer: They will cover 50%.
Long answer: They won’t cover anything until you’ve met your deductible. Once you’ve paid out $1,500 (your deductible), they will start covering 50% of the remaining cost.

- Comment on As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music? 7 months ago:
I think the difference is that as a kid music is forced on you from all kinds of sources: parents, friends, radio, etc. So you don’t realize how much time you actually spent just listening to new music.
As an Old, you probably don’t have nearly as much random exposure, i.e. you control when you listen to music now. Which means the answer to your question is that you have to consciously set aside time simply to listen to music. It may feel like a “waste of time” for each track you think is shit, but that’s just part of the process.
Good luck, and thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
