  1. can't make $$$ if your study fails on Most Scientists 'Can't Replicate Studies By Their Peers' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    getting the results you need means you can push a drug through trials and make a lot of money

    if you hurt or kill someone it won't happen for 20-30 years and by that time you will be retired and the person in charge at the time will be legally responsible while you chill in your nice house

    one of my kids is always asking me to buy him gems and crap for PvZ or some other IAP game and that's about how much I spend a year on that crap

    for apps i'll buy $10 or so worth of games once a year i'll never play

  4. some frequencies of blue light are right about what you see in the mornings and they mess with your melatonin levels if you're exposed to them at night. that much is known. what is not understood is how much computer screens mess with your sleep

  5. can't speak for them all but from what I read about Crizal Prevencia it doesn't block the UV light that messes with your sleep hormones. it's blocks the UV ranges just before that

    i'm in NYC and unless you're in a now non-existent rent controlled apartment, the rent will go up big over time.

    some of the burbs around here do have school taxes that go up big but that is in the best school districts where it's worth it to invest in your kids instead of buying an overpriced car for yourself

    keep dreaming. there is no bubble this time cause i don't hear about short term loans being used to buy homes with no money down like 10 years ago

  13. moving all the time is dumb on Nobody Is Moving, Especially Millennials (nymag.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    sure you might make more money cash wise, but you're going to be a perpetual renter aka sharecropper with nothing to your name

    putting down roots means you can buy property at a younger age which means you will pay it off faster and have kids at a younger age. the perpetual movers will be the people having their first kid at 45 and no spare cash from having their rent increase all the time
