Burns, sunburns, repeated impact, scrapes, abrasion from overuse...
I generally only put a dressing on damaged skin if it’s actually bleeding. And even then if the dressing falls off after it clots, I don’t worry about it.

I’m worried about damaged skin. If I have a patch of surface where the keratin layer is abnormally thin, does that skin mutate, metastasize, and threaten my entire body? I suspect such patches are present in over 1% of individuals under normal circumstances.
What were the 38 trends you studied? How did you select them? How confident are you that the other 28 don’t have discontinuities that you missed?
https://yucata.de/en is another website with a variety of games
http://brass.orderofthehammer.com/ has Brass
http://boardgaming-online.com/ has Through the Ages, both original and updated deck. (Despite the generic name, it’s just that one game.)
Words With Friends is imitation Scrabble available as a Facebook app.
So *that’s* where that UI lives! I did look for it.
Might go back and convert this into a proper sequence when I get back from Mystery Hunt.
In addition to modifying the perceived beauty or distastefulness of a given concept, there are knobs you can turn related to the concepts themselves: nudging, splitting, merging, or even destroying (and assigning all remaining aesthetic value to other, related concepts.
This is a public key I wanted to document exists in a rationalist-associated place:

Conflict of interest disclaimer: I live in NYC and think bringing MIRI here would be good for our local community
I would point out that being an hour by train from the city is significantly closer than an hour by car. An hour by train is an hour of relaxation or productive work (your choice), whereas an hour by car is an hour lost. An hour by train is also reliably an hour, whereas an hour by car puts your schedule at the mercy of traffic. Finally, an hour by train is accessible to everyone, whereas an hour by car requires possessing a car, being proficient in its use, and being confident of your ability to focus for the entire ride.
Apart from transit, I’d urge you to take weather seriously. I lived near Seattle for two years, and going without sunlight for months at a time drained me. (Going without proper storms messed with me too, but that’s probably just me.) I’m told working at MIRI, staring into how doomed we are on a daily basis, can be depressing. Best not to combine those.
I’ll also say that I have more confidence in New York’s cultural future. It’s hard to estimate the risk that Seattle will develop anti-epistemic happy death spirals like San Fransisco did. If I had to handwave it, I’d say 30% within the next 10 years. NYC’s sheer size and internal diversity give it cultural inertia. Odds of something like that happening here I’d put below 1%.
