I'm wondering... people who don't have kids/commitments outside of work could - theoretically - give more effort for their work (e.g. time to commute wouldn't be seen as quite as bad). But they also probably expect more

the asteroid doesn't necessarily destroy the whole population of the earth.. just like climate change probably won't kill everyone.

this function must be weakened where I work. At delve.office.com I only see a couple dozen office documents and how often they were opened. I'm not surprised that I don't see it all (as I work in Germany) but I'm surprised th

the problem with soccer is that good ideas to improve the game (e.g. make the time stop like in Basketball: Always when the ball is in play the clock ticks, when the ball is outside stop the clock. This would mean less players on the ground

the most bizzare transition IMO was between the most beautiful Monkey Island 3 (comic look!) and Monkey Island 4 (3D - although they did their best to make it charming), granted this was a few years after the SNES/N64 transition but al

this data arguably shows that the choice really is between vaccination (+possibly weak infection) and infection. We can't hide from the virus. This doesn't mean that the only choice is opening up everything, but eventually... ye

Thanks. Such a great story, I should post it to my boss whenever the day comes where I will apply for working only part-time. This is the link to the original in German: https://web.archive.org/web/20170101205635/h

For the competition that Biles competes in (all kinds of gymnastics) it is downright dangerous physically to compete without confidence because every small misstep can result in devastating injuries. That's not the case in many other s

I've went through the whole page (well, it's not long) and actually... none of the methods can compare with writing with the right hand. So maybe we have to be honest: Our alphabet/longform (and reading from left to right) is

I find it great that apparently sales in the tenths of thousands can be seen as a success. Apparently not everything has to sell millions upon millions. I really like the concept of this thing and as a life long gamer with a soft spot for c

yes, you have to write a text for the review to count. I just looked into the reviews for this game and there are actually 30 reviews, but apparently not every review counts towards the statline on the main page (not exactly sure which).

As far as I know we users cannot see how many sales a game has from steam, so I very much appreciate the creator telling us. I often try to judge from the number of reviews if a game has made at least a few thousand bucks. This game here ha

my mental model puts the years 2000 to 2019 basically as a single decade. With Corona and maybe accelerating climate desasters I don't think this will happen for the decade 2020 to 2039. But that's just me.

It's the same with typical sales persons: Even though they constantly exaggerate, you want to believe (unless there's animosity). So you take it into account that they exaggerate, but not by as much as they do exaggerate. Which me
