At the very highest level of soccer (or any game for that matter), it is not down to physical skills anymore. It becomes a matter of mental games- reading your opponents, making anticipations and react in the moment under immense pressure.

When I first started seeing those ads on my wife's TV, I thought I'd block the telemetry servers with my router. She happens to be using a free AT&T router, turns out it does not have an option to block hosts like a regular ro

When I moved to the US 5 years ago, I flew on an A380. It was my first flight in almost 20 years. I had remembered that as a kid I used to have awful flight sickness, but the A380 flight was a pleasure.

What is more unfair? One 25,000-ranked dalit student getting favored over a 5,000 -ranked brahmin, or the fact that 25% of IIT students do not represent dalits even though they represent 25% of the whole population?

The OP review is very patronizing of MBP but I could not take it after this. Colleagues at our lab meetings have been harassed by external display issue week after week at lab meetings. Some of them reported external display failing immedia

I am from SE Asia and postal system is non-existent to most people in my native country. Last time I sent anyone a letter was to my grandfather 30 years ago. I came to the US 5 years back, and I still marvel at how crucial USPS is to the gr

US didn't have a federal strategy to deal with the pandemic. They shot at their own foot and didn't give themselves a chance to be successful. The rest of the (developed, and many underdeveloped) world dealt with it and are moving

Lately I have become fully dependent on the remote development extension for my research, and this makes me very uneasy. I do not want to be restricted to using proprietary tools in case they change something down the line that is not to my

It is just depressing to read these comments. Most of these are arguing that it is not a good investment for the banks to invest in a high crime rate area. Well if it is not the banks, who else? If it is nobody, are these areas condemned to

Is it a true story? The only time I took advantage of price matching, it ended up saving me money. The phone I was looking for was $250 on Best Buy website, but $220 from Amazon 3rd party sellers. I went to a Best Buy store hoping to get it

You may not know this, but graduate research assistants make less than what many Americans get in unemployment benefits. You are basically getting cutting-edge research work done by non-immigrants for that money. Do you think it is more ben

Looking at the details, this allows for transitions from F1 and OPT status to H1B. However it suspends H1B stamping, meaning you probably cannot leave USA. Having said that, there's been rumors of some form of restriction or suspension
