In french is the term restricted to an individual? All of the definitions I found see me to relate to "know how react/behave according to prevailing social rules", eg: "the ability to behave in a correct and confident wa

Why would it be cheaper to design, make and sell two different jackets versus one?

by dfc 10y ago
You ordered a cheap jacket and the quality of the jacket you received was commensurate with the price and met your expectations. What is the irony?

OP asked for a city and you responded by naming a country? To make matters worse to support your claim you reference a trade group website that "was started because we saw a lack of community and support for entrepreneurs in Norway.&qu

People make a lot of complaints about esr. The one thing I always thought esr excelled at was english composition. After reading that post it seems his writing skills have deteriorated.

FYI: The delay is simply a function of your network connection. When discussing your satisfaction with an ntp daemon the delay to upstream servers is as relevant as your $/kwh on your electric bill. Has your computer ever selected one

I am probably in disagreement with ~100 billion humans when it comes to gender equality, slavery, appropriate treatment of venereal diseases, geocentrism, etc. What am I to conclude from this disagreement? For me the "doomed last stand

I apologize if I am being dense but this is such a strange position to me that I do not understand how you could arrive at this conclusion. I am genuinely interested in understanding what is that I am missing. "War" seems to be a

You mention your combat experience as if it establishes your credibility to adjudicate the nobility of war. Mr. Marlantes is also a combat veteran. He was not awarded the Navy Cross for his time in the rear with the gear. More importantly,

I doubt wide adoption of a tool used internally is at the top of the Netflix devs priority list. It solves an internal need and it does not hurt to throw some code over the wall, so why not toss it on github and see if you can get some free

That is your description of a cultural environment where someone with depression thrives? It kind of seems like you dodged the question. I am interested to hear how someone can thrive when they cant manage to get out of bed.

It is strange to me that you never mentioned how depression fits into your pet theory of mental illness. Can you enlighten us and explain in what type of cultural environment someone with depression thrives?
