After the recent heatwave, I’m considering planting a fruitless mulberry tree to provide shade over my patio.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has one: How quickly does it grow, and does it require much maintenance or pruning? And have you had any issues with invasive roots causing damage near paving and buildings?
Would you recommend it, or would you choose a different shade tree if you were planting again?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hi everyone,
We’re considering a family trip to Cornwall during the week of 6 July 2026, just before the UK school summer holidays start. We’ll be travelling with older teenagers, and we’re planning to visit some of the big-name spots like St Michael’s Mount and the Eden Project.
Do you think that it will be fairly manageable in terms of crowds or is it already very busy by then? And do you have any specific recommendations of must-sees that work well with teens?
And I guess that it will be better to rent a car, or do you think that it is mangeable with bus and train?
Thanks a lot for any advice that you might have!
Bonjour,
Depuis le passage à W11 de mon PC de 6 ans, il plante très souvent et est extrêmement lent. J'ai eu deux sons de cloche : il fut racheter un ordi récent, et il "suffit" de faire une mise à jour du Bios.
Est-ce que vous sauriez me dire si il vous semble possible qu'une mise à jour du Bios résolve le problème?
Merci d'avance pour votre aide!
My 79-year-old aunt is scheduled for bunion surgery soon for a moderate but quite painful bunion. She’s also the primary carer for her disabled husband, and we’re trying to plan ahead. If you’ve had this surgery, how long did it take before you could walk comfortably again? Did you need help at home in the first days or weeks? Any advice or things you wish you'd known would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Certains d'entre vous ont peut-être vu passer la semaine dernière un long article, en anglais, sur le fait que les partis de gauche des pays développés avaient vu leurs plateforme shifter. (pour ceux que ça intéresse, googler "the gentrification of the left").

Bonjour à tous,
Demain nous pensons aller faire un tour sur Paris en fin d'après-midi avec les enfants pour regarder les déguisements ou les décors d’Halloween. Est-ce que vous auriez un conseil sur quel quartier choisir? Merci!
Hello to all,
Last year, I read with great interest on ACX a very well-written review of the book "Consciousness and the Brain: Deciphering How the Brain Codes Our Thoughts" by Stanislas Dehaene. Based on the book, Dehaene defines consciousness as the subjective awareness of oneself and the external world. He considers the main function of consciousness to be the brain's "global workspace," acting as a central hub that integrates and transmits information from different specialized brain modules.
After reading the review, I started to contemplate whether consciousness, as a global workspace that integrate information ‘spatially’, from different parts of the brain, could also play a sim
Hello everyone,
I just made a survey to try to test a hypothesis about types of memory and self-talk. I already have many interesting answers but... mostly from introverts. I would love for you to answer it, regardless of your MBTI type but even more so if you are an extrovert!
The survey is quite short, it takes about 5-7 minutes to complete. Here is the link, thank you very much if you choose to participate :-)) I'll post the results of the survey as soon as I analyze them.
Best, Emma
Hello everyone,
A while back I was extremely interested in the book Consciousness and the brain, by S. Dehaene, and it made me want to to test a hypothesis about the relationships between memory types and self-talk. I made a short survey to try to answer the question and posted it on another subreddit. Several of the participants to the questionnaire suggested me to spread it on here as well, because they thought it could be interesting for this community..
The survey is pretty short, it takes about 5 minutes to complete, and I'd love for you to fill it out. Here is the link, thank you very much if you choose to participate! I will post the results of the survey as soon as I am d
Hello everyone,
A while back I was extremely interested in an ACX book review, and it made me wonder if a specific hypothesis was true. I made a very short survey to try to answer the question (The hypothesis I would like to test is probably pretty obvious if you read the survey, but I'd rather not spell it out!)
The survey is pretty short, it takes about 5 minutes to complete, and I'd love for you to fill it out, and/or give me feedback: for example are there any questions that need to be changed or clarified, or clearly missing questions?
I used a Google form and the layout is definitely not nice, I hope that it is not a problem.
Here is the link, thank you very much if you choose to
Hello to all,
To introduce a discussion on the cities of the future, for a small scientific conference on urban planning, I am looking for science fiction books or movies that would take place in a relatively near future and that would describe in some detail the cities where people live. Do you have any titles to suggest? Thanking you in advance :-)
