At least for me a lot of automation and workflow stuff I have just doesn't exist on iPhones. I make heavy use of buzzkill, taskr and iftt, and the first two have no equivalent on iOS and probably never will. Pretty sure home screen wid

When you say BPD are you referring to borderline or bipolar? Because borderline is usually treated with therapy as the first-line treatment, while meds are definitely the norm and most effective for bipolar. OPs description of his friend ru

I think both if you are reading too much into his comment and seeing things that aren't there. I don't think it was a jab at younger generations inability to appreciate things due to short attention spans, but more expressing sadn

Two things: First, did you bother reading the article? He is the opposite of an activist these days. He goes out of his way not to preach to anybody to the point where there are longtime conservative volunteers there that have no idea about

You don't need to feel guilty. Microplastics are pervasive to the point where everybody already has them in their blood, so people receiving blood with them in it are getting any noticeably net harm done to them. If you're in need

I've asked a close friend of mine something along those lines. His native language is Spanish but he's been speaking English was well since he was around 3, so I think he safely grew up bilingual. Anyhow, he said his default voice

Maybe they should do the same study on people that lack an internal monologue to see if they have the same results.

I love the red dots. My partner and I drive out to Big Bend every couple years to spend a week or so there, and on the drive back there's a stretch of road where at night there's a huge number of the dots juuuust barely visible ov

Not OP but I'm very fond of Bang!, the card based version not the dice version though. And now that I'm reading the Wikipedia page I'm seeing there's actually multiple options for playing online, which is great because a

Lol no. Assuming at-will employment, which is the vast majority of the US workforce, "using all your vacation days yearly" is not a protected class so they are absolutely able to fire you for it.

More like a one week vacation, if you're lucky. You're forgetting that most of us don't have separate sick leave so PTO has to get used for sick days, dr appointments, etc. My first company I worked for wouldn't let you

He isn't skipping any flights. He presumably bought a one-way ticket to XYZ years ago, and since then each year he books an XYS->SFO->XYZ roundtrip for a year long "visit" to SFO before returning "home" to XYZ

We just don't care enough. The amount of apathy the average person in a developed country has for the rest of their fellow man is astounding if you stop and think about it for a bit. People love to go on and on about how capitalism is

With plain old war there are usually end goals like "gain control of this piece of land/and or resource". Which is what's happening in Ukraine. They want Ukraine's land and resources. However, it's completely p

I mean honestly there's not too much expertise involved, it's mostly common sense. It's just that it takes so much longer to do it right at the beginning to ensure its maintainable and ordered rather than just doing it the ea

The phone is maybe possibly part of it but most of actuarial calculations for car rentals are more based around age/zip code/sex and whatever driving history they can find on you than anything else.

From what I'm seeing they're seeking monetary fines against Google for this, and at their scale that's hardly a deterrent. It always works out to be a fraction of what they'd actually have to pay if they hadn't pul

So from that point of view, one could see conservatives constant and endless attempts on restricting abortion and birth control as trying to prevent would-be liberal voters from being politically active?

One of the most common forms of contraception is hormonal medications that have a side effect of lightening and/or fully stopping periods. Most of the abortion legislation has limiting access to those medications or other contraceptive

I don't think bleeding money is accurate for Nintendo. They are in the habitat of iterating on their previous consoles instead of just throwing everything out the window each time like some other companies, so even with their consoles

Poker is a well studied, and more importantly, closed system where all of the variables are either known or known unknowns. We literally have bots now that can play poker better than any human. The amount of decisions you make in a game o

You're absolutely right, my point was that Amazon makes it even easier by removing what is by far the largest hurdle with stolen goods, which is the actual distribution and selling of them.

I think never is a strong word. You genuine believe that we'll never create an equivalent or even comparable intelligence to our own artificially?
