Kill 'Em All is a great first album, but yeah, Metallica is a band that had a really good short run that somehow just kept going. Had they disbanded at any time before the black album, they'd probably be considered the greatest metal band of all time. Now they're on par with the Simpsons

Metallica died with Cliff.

I remember being a poli sci undergrad but taking a lot of math and science courses and political science is the least scientific or abstract form of thought that exists.

all these loving philosophers wasted their time, dunno if it matters anyway cause students don't have philosophical principles, they have just have justifications for their policy preferences

You could say at least economics pretends math is real, but WOW is that a bankrupt field, shockingly disgusting

At least when physics eschews proper rigorous math it gets the right answer and has predictive power, lmao... yah yah derivatives are not fractions and differential equations have to actually be differentiable but your phone knows its position on earth and orientation down to millimeters so I think it's OK for now that we do it our way

physicists are the biggest chuddiest assholes in academia which is a tremendous accomplishment

Care must be taken to ensure you watch the original and not the director's cut, which adds a bunch of bad pointless scenes but probably aligns closer with Alex Proyas's vision of making poo poo movies

iirc for our son's birth in 2012 the charge for the epidural was more than the charge for the delivery itself, something like $15k. luckily insurance covered 90% of that completely not at all arbitrary made up number.

Being a SFH residential landlord is babytown frolics for belonging to the capital class. If you truly want to be a do-nothing landlord you need to either get into the retail space (buy the land under a Starbucks or Jiffy Lube, etc.) or join a REIT for like an urban apartment building or something where all the maintenance & overhead is outsourced. Of course that often requires much more capital outlay and you'll also need to have the self-awareness that your place in line for the guillotine just got a lot shorter (which you immediately mentally discard)

The interesting angle is that it's farmland specifically that the Gates Foundation is snarfing up. They barely crack the top 50 of private landholders overall, but most of the rest are in grazing/pasture (which is indicative of a whole other set of problems) or timberland.
