Yes, happened to me trying to get a refund on light bulbs that arrived smashed. I suspect it’s a loss-prevention-by-red-tape mechanism: if I make it difficult/costly enough on someone to impose losses on me, they’ll do less.

He who fights with #Reviewer2 should look to it that he himself does not become a #Reviewer2. And if you gaze long into a reviewer’s comments, the reviewer’s comments also gaze into you.

1.0: I thought the ends justify a tolerating a little inurement, but maybe this has gone too far. 2.0: you call that inurement? I’ll raise you an inurement.

I am pretty sure there was a jump in car widths in the early 2000’s due to the introduction of side-impact air bags and crumple zones.

Any of Shakespeare’s comedies. But adding Tom Clancy’s to the histories could be awesome.

Ask who you can contact if law enforcement asks you to disclose information that you worry might violate FERPA. In a public forum if possible.

This is history of real estate prices on Manhattan’s west side since 1960s: 1) gay men move in, make neighborhood safe. 2) prices go up. 3) families move to newly safe neighborhood. 4) prices go up. 5) neighborhood now unaffordable for young gay men. Find new neighborhood. repeat.

I guess there are two parties in NYC: the rent is too damn high party and the rent is too damn low party.

Personalizing care has been an aim for medical research for a long time, but using it as a tool for price discrimination is a brilliant move for pharma marketing.

Policy uncertainty is a raise without a raise. It’s the magic that made the soft landing work.

I have been saying that “global warming” sounds too pleasant; something like “Torrential thunderstorms 12 months a year” would be more effective.

“It worked because… at the heart of it, [m]illions of humans living in fragile habitats prone to mechanical and environmental breakdowns and degradation, and with limited natural resources, we’re better off relying on each other than trying to go it alone.”

Risk management is about identifying potential points of failure and then introducing systems to monitor and control those points. These systems intentionally entail INefficiency.

Under a progressive tax system, making a transfer payment of the same amount to everyone is, quite obviously, regressive.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill. But I read the whole thing. And there are some hidden rats in there you need to know about. 1/ A quick🧵

Ask us biomedical scientists if you have questions. Not conspiracy theorists. Not wellness grifters. And read the article I wrote below on HOW & WHY we know everything involved in research, development, & manufacture of vaccines: Can’t say the same for unregulated supplements! 🧵

We know EXACTLY what’s in vaccines – because we put it there
Vaccine scientists and regulatory agencies know exactly what is in vaccines and why, no matter what anti-vaccine activists try to claim.
