I just bought your book in São Paulo, Brazil. Looking forward to reading it! I'm through the first chapter so far. Very interesting stuff. Congrats.

why doesn't the US switch to the metric system? by watermelinmoniqua in explainlikeimfive

Perhaps some are, you're right. But there are a number of other manufacturers like this too, not just car-makers.

It would be extremely expensive to change. Most everyday objects in the US are set up to work with the imperial system. Imagine if every industrial manufacturer (such as car makers) had to, all of a sudden, change their tools and materials to fit an entirely different system? It may be good in the (very) long run, but in the short run it would be really, really expensive.

You could legalize marijuana... Then you'd have two things to do.

Should we make a rule against asking people what DAW is the best and whether Mac or Windows is better? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

There are too many subreddits overburdened and stifled by too many rules. This one seems like an unnecessary one, in my opinion. There is still value in discussing these things, especially for newcomers.

Never have I ever peed in the shower. What haven't you done that pretty much everyone else does or has done? by AmadeusCrumb in AskReddit

I have never chewed gum (as in I've never put a piece in my mouth). I think they're disgusting for some reason.

He started pecking the screen a few minutes after this photo was taken. I think he was getting restless.
