No, the fact that damages can change (and increase) over the course of a trial is not extremely exceptional at all, in fact it's the norm. The vast majority of civil suits are for unspecified claims. I only mentioned McDonald's an

None of those have anything to do with being smart. Less smart people also get bored or have poor people skills or job hop or have unusual expectations. Very strange post with a lot of poor assumptions.

Stripe operates a single office in Toronto, Canada. No one would be qualified for severance since severance is only eligible after 5 years of employment and Stripe's office has only been open for 2 years.

There are also tons of articles that state the opposite; that virtual particles are in fact actual particles. I don't see how either interpretation is particularly relevant. Physics uses math to model reality. Every part of that model

I'm no expert but it seems from the comments and the Wikipedia article you link to that OPs position isn't that far from the truth, certainly not so blatantly false that it warrants editing or deleting. The article you linked to s

That is a dismissal and the fact that you have failed to clarify any point whatsoever and are keeping your statements vague and ambiguous suggests you're either trolling or are genuinely ignorant. My original comment was to add precisi

The top selling game of all time is an indie game (Minecraft), the top selling game of 2022 is an indie game (Elden Ring), and the top selling game of 2017 was also an indie game (PUBG). It's likely a stretch to say that The Witcher 3

As someone at a quant firm, it's true of both. Years of experience really counts for next to nothing. Two people with X years of experience could have vastly different skillsets and it genuinely signals next to nothing about how qualif
