Maybe the world would be a better place if going drinking with your friends on Sunday mornings were the sociological norm instead of attending religious services.

Re:Beyond god and atheism: Why I am a 'possibilian' on Monday September 27, 2010 @03:12PM (#1732944)

I like his take on this. I normally describe myself as an atheist but only because I don't believe that any of the religions I've studied are true. But I am open to other possibilities and I think this guy describes that well.

Re:Ask HN: Good alternative to Gmail? on Tuesday August 10, 2010 @09:41PM (#1593522)

I asked myself the same question, and the best fit I found was zimbra. It's ajax-powered and open source. I use it for SMB clients and host it for them on a VPS. If you're looking for something simple for your personal mail there are several places that host it for $4-$5 /month. http://zimbra.com

Re:Ask HN: Food hacks for eating well? on Sunday July 25, 2010 @10:52AM (#1545626)

Fat, sugar, and salt. The former head of the fda has been writing about how we are biologically predisposed to get even hungrier and crave more when we eat something with fat sugar and salt together. That's why applebees can serve a 1500 calorie appetizer that they know will make you even hungrier. So you can make vegetables and fruits a crazy craving by following the same logic.
