Interesting. The infected human body stops absorbing some metals because the infecting bacteria will miss it more.

If your workplace has yearly performance reviews, that's the primary occasion to list your main accomplishments to your boss' undivided attention. Most people hate these reviews, so it's tempting to make them as short as poss

There absolutely were popular-ish toys in which a spinning line of LEDs wrote messages, at least a few years ago in Brazil. I can't find a reference.

I'm not who you asked, but I'll share my experience escaping sedentarism in advice form: Start with push-ups. They're fast and require nothing but a flat surface. You can always transition to lifting weights later. Start toda

Would you rather stay blind then take the chance? I wouldn't, unless the company was half-bankrupt already.

"computing resources make such advances less needed" That's arguable. Someone has to improve the graphics engines at Unity and Unreal, with enormous reach. There's a big potential market in porting what only runs in de

AFAIK he did successfully improve performance in VR as part of his work in this space. He's still working currently, mostly on AGI research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carmack Of course being famous does

I can't see the difference with the last (third) Tutorial image, even with the "Compare" button after choice. Explanation reads "Speech bubble padding", but they look identical to me.

Young middle class people without kids could , in principle, adopt the poor people solution and pocket the savings. But that's not how people work. Only the rich can differentiate themselves enough to escape the stigma.

So true, but the government is a fact. Walk-in hiring got unintentionally killed off when we intentionally killed GTFO firing.

2. good counterpoint 1, 3, and 4: you're making very good points in favor of legalization, but your tone seems to indicate it's reluctant, as if those don't count somehow. If I got it right, could you expand on why they don&#

When GDPR was new, several people sent "nightmare letters", deliberately and publicly designed to cause as much cost and hassle as possible. To my knowledge, no one was punished or even inconvenienced for blatantly abusing the law

Evolution's indifference is sometimes indistinguishable from cruelty. Presumably we're all descendants of the human and pre-human babies that freaked out at the flimsiest sign of abandonment. Presuming further, the ones who didn&#
