Update: the cards have all been claimed now (at least for this round)

Thanks for the post!
The Zach Weinersmith quote you mentioned goes further, in a direction that might also be relevant:
″...bravery is not cross contextual… Conversely, recklessness *is* cross contextual. Unsafe sex correlates to drug abuse.”
I’m pretty reckless in some ways, but need to build courage in other areas.Fostering courage where I need it, turning my recklessness into courage where it’s helping me, and minimising it where it isn’t, all seem like worthwhile things to try.
Is there any data on how people feel like rationality has changed their lives? Somewhat separate to what we’re doing as a community / what some of the most successful rationalists are up to, it seems worth trying to work out how engaging more with rationality changes things for people. I’m pretty sure my engagement with rationality has helped me become stronger; if it turned out not to help most people that would definitely change how I presented things.
Nice post! I have one thing to add about timing. Because Vitamin D is fat-soluble, there’s slightly better uptake if you take it with a relatively fatty meal or with milk. I’m not sure how much of a difference this makes though; taking it in the morning (with a not-fatty meal) is still enough to fix my deficiency.
Weird question, but if your marker action is doing something with your hands, what do you do if you’re holding something at the time?
Best guess: because they’ve found the Haskell expertise they were after. That tweet is nearly two years old now, and I’m pretty sure Ed Kmett joined more recently than that.
