Garlic and coconut oil are both known to have antibiotic properties. I'm not familiar with blackseed.

For context, aspirin and quinine both come from plants (trees in both cases, iirc). Capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers, gets used as the active ingredient in over-the-counter topical arthritis medication.

Due to the hot, humid climate, jungle cultures deal excessively much with fungal infections. IIRC, quinine was a traditional treatment for malaria well before Western medicine discovered it. My recollection is this id how Western medicine learned of it -- from locals who knew it as an effective remedy.

Last I checked, malaria was becoming resistant to synthetic derivatives of quinine. Such strains were still treatable with actual quinine.

I've always been confused by that, as I couldn't get Coca-Cola to be anywhere phonetically close to 蛙 ("wa"), which would be the character for frog. Had to look it up — https://service.goodcharacters.com/blog/blog.php?id=225 has it as being 蝌蝌啃蠟, which is mostly nonsense, but if I had to translate it, it would be closer to "tadpole nibbles wax". Or possibly, "ke ke brand nibbling wax", assuming "nibbling wax" is a thing. It certainly doesn't sound like a drink.

I think OP was getting at "valued" degrees, eg: A degree from a name brand institution, where a good chunk of employers will recognize the name of said university.

Degrees from non-name brand institutions (eg: all the community colleges/2nd tier colleges like Western Washington University) are for checking off the requirement of having a degree. Its a serious put down, but the name brands thrive on being "selective" yet bribe-able.

There is quite a bit more value to be had at the latter group of institutions, tuition is ~$500 a class or ~$1500 a quarter at community colleges and of a similar caliber in quality, much more reasonable than the $1500+ charged per 5 credits at name brand colleges.
Unfortunately students aren't involved in hiring decisions. Everything I've ever heard suggests that faculty at prestigious universities are universally there thanks to their research credentials, not their teaching credentials. This was certainly true of the school I went to.

>What’s special about Texas?

Debt collection follows a combination of state and federal law, and Texas state law is unusually favorable to debtors. Specific important pieces:

1. Your primary residence is protected from forced sale to satisfy general creditors, up to 10 acres (urban) or 100 acres (rural).

2. Garnishment of wages is limited to certain special circumstances, such as nonpayment of taxes or child support.

3. IRAs have unlimited protection from creditors (other states have a cap).

>And how can you put everything in retirement account?? 401k is 19k/year and IRA is 5k? What do you do with the rest of your money?

Home equity is a very significant part of this. If you borrow $300k to buy a $400k home, the $100k you have tied up in your house is protected from creditors. If you have an extra $50k you want to save, you pay down your mortgage more aggressively and creditors can no longer come after it.

Oh, also, from reading into things, it looks like if you buy a 2 to 4 unit house, then even the non-owner-occupied units remain protected. So you can extend things somewhat that way by having a more expensive home that cashflows.

>Do you setup and LLC or trust?

LLCs are more for business-related liabilities, and trusts are weird and expensive enough that I haven't looked into them. Besides which, there's a perfectly reasonable alternative to a trust - annuity and insurance products. Both their value and payments to you are exempt from attachment and seizure in Texas, again with the exception of child support payments and "fraudulent transfers" made after incurring the debt. So essentially, if an insurance company is holding your money and giving it back to you in a structured way, creditors have a really hard time getting at it.

Why does it matter that a house survive for 500 years, though? Seriously, I'm not going to live that long. None of my immediate descendants will either. Odds are good it'd be owned by someone else before I even die, let alone by anyone even tangentially related to me 500 years in the future. And odds are also good it'd be torn up well before then or fall into decay even if it was built to last. How many cities have been on an upward trajectory for the past 500 years? And how many old buildings have been torn down to be replaced with something bigger and taller, regardless of the state of the old building?

Give people a choice between two houses, one that will last their full lifetime and then some, and another that costs double and that will last 500 years, almost everyone is rationally going to pick the former option. There simply isn't much present-day utility in over-building to such an extent.

And keep in mind, there are plenty of all-stone buildings that have collapsed from earthquakes and other natural disasters, killing many people, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_2016_Central_Italy_eart... . A lot of construction methodologies that last 500 years only do so in some environments. Against a lot of common risks, a modern building constructed of dimensional lumber is better.

And anyway, I still think the better comparison is between the average building in different time periods, not the best buildings (which are basically just outliers).

As an Air Force vet, I think he accurately identifies the problem but I don't think the solution is what he thinks it is. The Army has been flying with Warrant Office pilots for years. They make less money, but they don't require a college degree so they have a _much_ larger pool of applicants.

The solution is to disentangle leadership and piloting. Currently, because they're all officers, pilots view themselves as leaders of men. However, as the author of this post says, the most leading a pilot will ever do is lead a flight of jets. Piloting has always been a tactical skill, and its place as an officer-exclusive job makes it incorrectly perceived as a gateway to a strategic career.

You only needed a high school degree to fly in WW2, and I honestly believe the Air Force should be hiring pilots based solely on ability to fly vs credentialism.

As a funny aside, the Air Force originally gave up Warrant Officers so that they could have have higher ranked enlisted personnnel (E-9). Afterwards, all of the other services complained that their enlisted personnel were outranked by the Air Force so they got E-9s and didn't have to give up their warrants.

The difference is between GAAP profits, which are what the companies report to shareholders, and the taxable profits calculated in their IRS filings, which is full of subsidies and incentive programs.

Roughly speaking, GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) is the internationally accepted way of doing accounting. GAAP is a perfectly reasonable way to calculate taxes due, but congress long ago decided that they want to incentivize certain behavior through the tax code. It's probably worth noting that cutting the 'red tape' on the tax code has proven to be politically unpopular. There are a lot of incentives that are being used for things like clean energy, business investment, hiring welfare recipients, parental leave, etc. that won't be easy to ax. The recent tax code changes did strengthen a few deductions and remove a few others, but this sort of behavior is far from new.

> If everyone paid exactly the same amount as they currently do (in tax + insurance premiums) there should be plenty to fund a first-world-standard national health system.

Right. Regardless of whether health care is paid for privately or via taxes, it's obvious that the problem isn't that we're not spending enough money.

> It's difficult to know what you can afford when you can't find out even an approximate price until it's over and the bill arrives.

I agree that prices and billing should be more transparent. It's crazy that they expect you to agree to pay whatever they might choose to bill, months or years after the fact, without even the courtesy of a binding estimate. I think a good argument could be made that these are not valid contracts and you should be able to walk away from them without penalty; they only get away with this sort of borderline-fraudulent behavior because the law grants health care providers special status. This situation is not improved by changing things so that health care providers don't even need your formal consent, or any interaction at all for that matter, to bill you via the IRS, with no contractual obligation on their part to provide any services whatsoever in return.

I perhaps should have elaborated a bit about the number of items. It is broken up into sections like:
* Do well before we leave: e.g. arrange insurance, book seats on flights.
* Do just before we leave: e.g. engage window locks, turn off heating, empty dishwasher

Then sections for hand carry, electronics bag, wash bag, suitcase and various subdivisions within each.

I found the best way to manage it is to make one giant list so it might have a kite and a bucket and spade in the "misc items" for example. When we're planning a trip, I copy that list to a new place, edit the title accordingly and remove all the items I'm sure we won't need. Like the aforementioned kite and bucket if it's not a beach trip. Or the car pack with chargers, suction cup for phone navigation etc. if we're not renting a car.

I agree that it'd probably be mostly okay if I went rogue and I can always buy stuff in the airport or at our destination. Notable exceptions being medications, passports, credit cards. I still garner some measure of comfort from knowing we have everything even if getting there can be a little stressful.
