A Large Regular

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- The stress reducing power of humming. Think about it - do you know any stressed out people who hum?

- The beginning of a reckoning: the Middle East after Oct 7th. The tale of the tape says Iran is 12 times larger than Israel but I'd put my money on he Israelis.

- Bill Belichick's NFL Week 6 look ahead.

- Glenn Reynolds: Debt doom is coming. Steps I'd immediately take: eliminate all federal DEI programs, and funding for DEI. Any university that doesn't comply loses all federal funding. Cut all foreign aid to Ukraine and countries that don't have a reciprocal free trade agreement with us. Use those funds to help pay for any interest payments.

Some quotes that I hope may resonate with you.

"Adam and Eve saw that they were naked, and they became afraid. Unconscious denial of their animal nature set in very quickly... They began to disassociate from their body. They now saw themselves as having a body, rather than just being it." - Eckhart Tolle

"You can reduce your stress by not having a strong opinion about everything." - Vala Afshar

"If tobacco companies get in trouble for selling products that give people cancer, then universities should get in trouble for selling student debt to students with worthless degrees." - Naval Ravikant

"Another flaw in human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance." - Kurt Vonnegut
