Why don’t we just have a Books Thread? Everybody here reads, and more than just the occasional textbook. And why don’t we have an Articles Thread, where we could discuss single articles or review several at once?

Fables grow around missed natural experiments
That’s because it should have been the door, dammit.
...But really, this pictureis pretty “straightforward” as they go. No other interpretation, really. Why did it tease you and me but not Elo?..
well, the first time I saw an ameboid star, and then very shortly I saw an invasive (where I live) oak’s sapling. I’d say it’s not an OI, it just makes you search for the focus of the image. The classic example Lumifer links to is something where you might not even think of looking for the other image; and of course, there should be ambiguity things nearer to crystal clear end of spectrum.
Just a photo
Adjust for the middleman.
I think she will be open to it. Here’s hope. People usually don’t get it, how having a twin makes you feel you live an experiment—same clothes or different clothes (but people say different things to you when they see you in them—“why?”), same favourite poems and different ones (so weird, really). Always thought it a shame, to have so much material go to waste.
Warning: please don’t read if you are triggered by a discussion of post-mortem analysis (might come up in the comments).
I want to have my body donated to science, well, afterwards, and to convince my twin sister to organize the same thing; there’s probably a dearth of comparative post-mortem studies of adult (aged) human twins. However, my husband said he wouldn’t do it. I don’t want to argue with him about something we both hope won’t be an issue for many years to come, so, in pure scientific interest:
what would you think it would be interesting to study in such a setting?
Sorry if I offended you, it wasn’t my intention. Just can’t ask this on facebook, my Mom would eat me alive.
Makes sense. Although I would still think my environment is mostly direct and mostly easygoing:)
What if my job requires a direct easygoing attitude to people coming in to our shop?
But why is it worth knowing?
Thank you for compiling another survey!
And on a completely unrelated note, what is it that we actually want to know about ourselves as LW? Surely it can’t be the gender ratio. It’s not like we don’t already know not to post “traditionally feminine” stuff or something. It seems to me that surveys aren’t done to achieve some further goal, although the results, of course, are of some curiosity. Sorry if this is counterproductive, I am genuinely interested in the above question.
And the “Recent on rationality blogs” button will work again?
...and when we age and the lenses in our eyes get yellower, the sky loses some of its blueness.
I think being very tired is a separate feeling, from being simply tired and being exhausted. One can be a bit very tired on Monday and a lot very tired on Friday—and still not exhausted.
That I were blessed with a wonderful favourite teacher and a crazy, but wonderful supervisor in college.
Because when someone of mine dies—be it a relative or a dog—or gets diagnosed with incurable disease, I go to either of them and we drink tea or just have a walk together, and talk of irrelevant things.
Only got it after the fourth time, though...
Just noting here that I was wrong. I’m working 12 hr a day now (it’s The Season), hate my current boss for doing less than he could and generally creating work out of thin air, and am still very much content not to be a housewife.
What, to you, is the difference between a hardcore popular science book and one of the serious science publicistics? It seems to me that it must be great, and I miss the former kind, and I can’t be alone in this, but it’s the latter kind that gets published, weakly supported by the distributors and occasionally, sold.
By ‘gets published’ I mean here in Ukraine, although it might be true for other countries.
