I want to cry, again.

So consider the amount of standard daily doses of opioids consumed in Japan. And then double it. And then double it again. And then double it again. And then double it again. And then double it a fifth time. That would make Japan No. 2 in the world, behind the United States.
That is from German Lopez at Vox.
The post Japan (America) fact of the day appeared first on Marginal REVOLUTION.

From TED Ed: Can you solve the frog riddle?
You’re stranded in a rainforest, and you’ve eaten a poisonous mushroom. To save your life, you need an antidote excreted by a certain species of frog. Unfortunately, only the female frog produces the antidote. The male and female look identical, but the male frog has a distinctive croak. Derek Abbott shows how to use conditional probability to make sure you lick the right frog and get out alive.

Why not just lick every frog of that species that you see?

There's absolutely no way you'd want to defend gamers’ rules lawyering to real lawyers in tax court

I feel this way about the 19xx board game series. At some point it's just too complex and becomes work.
Yes, it took a lot of work to make the cards and pieces, but it's worth it--the players are way more thorough than the tax prep people ever were.
Perfect!
