This is part of a two-week experiment on having more open threads.
Obvious answers aren't always obvious. If you feel silly for not understanding something, you're not alone. Ask a question here.

A good read, good site, something that made you think. If you really want to share it but don't think it's worthy of a post, here's the place. Please include a summary.

[Meta] Open thread even more often?
This week's open thread is less than a day old, and has already accumulated more comments than the 15 latest non-open-thread posts combined. I fear the thread will wither and die before Friday.
Going from monthly to weekly open threads was a big hit. Should we ratchet up open thread frequency even more? Should we add more outlets for comments, or will comments inevitably expand to fill the available room?
Proposal for discussion: We follow a regimen of weekly blather threads for the next two weeks, then reassess.
- Stupid questions (Monday) - Admit your ignorance
- Advice (Tuesday) - Seek the wisdom of the crowd
- Open Thread (Wednesday) - Catch-all prattle
- Links (Friday) - Quality readings. Meme postings punishable by death
Addendum
I posted a Links on Friday and a Stupid Questions on Monday. In the 5 post-days that they've been up, they've accumulated 32 comments. Based on these numbers, it seems unlikely that these topical open threads will relieve pressure on the main Open Thread and so I've stopped the experiment.
