I can’t explain the psychology behind it, but this really simple design technique apparently still works.
Apparently some men need a reason to aim, and will continue doing so even after they realize they’ve been bamboozled.
Love that word/anecdote! It’s a good example of a German compound word but it’s also one of the silliest examples of male identity gatekeeping I’ve heard of.
Slammed! Also cool metaphor.
Too much effort. This administration is populated first and foremost by unobservant and intellectually stunted pragmatists and yes-men.
That sort of psychological warfare is effectively outsourced and you interact with it every day.
Sorry, I meant the point of the graph is to highlight the market’s impetus: selfishness.
Specifically, it casts investor sentiment in a negative light, where “feeling bullish” translates to “feeling greedy” and anything else is loss aversion/fear.
While I agree in principle (to share with those invested in your wellbeing), might do the same, and am otherwise unqualified as a fairly young person without living parents to refer to, I think I can understand why someone would prefer to postpone the revelation of that kind of news to someone they loved, especially their kid, until they knew for sure.
so pointless …. at best, volatility for obvious reasons.
I believe you just described “the point.”
The difficulty was drainage. Isolated steam systems in steam era construction were designed to use gravity for condensate collection. It’s one of the reasons boilers are always in the basement of old buildings.
Steam system engineering was a well-compensated profession. A well-designed system would accurately predict the rate of condensate flow for every part of the building, prior to construction, and reflect these predictions in the slope/grade and diameter of the steam pipes. Inaccurate predictions resulted in problems like pipe knock (aka steam hammer) which you can often hear when you or a nearby neighbor partially close the shut-off valve of a radiator.
Since construction in the city had many elevations and could not be predicted in advance, there was no equivalent solution to facilitate condensate collection. The system had to be one way. And yes, it’s inefficient compared to modern systems, but was innovative in its day.
Yeet the heat or beat the meat
Wtf? Bad form, Peter Pan.
