This was worth the 3 minutes. First, for the phrase "cephalic peripheral". And second, the whole weirdness of the idea.

Two thoughts: 1. Interviewing is like any other skill, so practice more interviews. Just apply to more places and go through the phone screen. It's painful, but it helps. 2. Maybe drink more coffee the day of the interview? Might help

Well, that was illegal. They have to give you at least a month notice, and it has to be via registered letter. And I'm not positive, but selling the house might not even be a legit reason to kick you out before the lease contract (that

Coming to France I discovered something similar: France has very strong tenant laws. Afaiu they cannot evict a tenant that doesn't want to leave. As a result, renting a place here is a nightmare. Landlords require a ton of stuff to rea

I don't think weakened viruses go through our protein-making machinery (aka code execution), but directly cause immune system reactions. Edit: I stand corrected.

Article mentions checking the UV index. FYI, on iphone it is shown in the weather app, just need to scroll down a bit.

The assumption that people are irresponsible is too strong. Often all it takes is this: "Mom, if I have a kid will you help me raise it?" - "Of course".

Why assume manipulated? Could be just lots of supply. The supply of new gold at least is pretty high: https://twitter.com/LynAldenContact/status/17066072297915888...

The problem is that most of the time the new valuation is real. In the case of art at least, there is an extra step between 2 and 3: create hype to make the artist popular.

They removed that answer from the original query [can you melt eggs] but it still works with [can you melt down eggs].

> This means taking wealth away from those who have amassed too much, and returning it to those who had it stolen from them. This is what inflation does, partly. Assuming of course that wages keep up.

If <Popular Artist> wants to reward true fans, why aren't they making their own fan club, with id-verified accounts, and then sell tickets to them first?

Thanks. Here in the Yvelines it's hit or miss at Monoprix. Instead I found a German store in Paris that stocks about 20 AF beers, so I'm set for a while.

You might find Brewdog beers in the UK, they are good. (In France they are hard to find and unreasonably expensive.)

I've all but stopped drinking alcohol ever since I watched an Andrew Huberman video on the same subject. I was mostly drinking beer and nowadays thankfully they are making great alcohol-free versions. Visited Germany this summer and wa

I think GP was talking about the Translate _app_ needing the Google _app_. Translation can be done without a network connection.

This is probably just them shipping the internal org. The Google app must have some functionality that all the others need.

For the longest time it didn't work in Europe and it was a pain to turn on VPN just for this. But I just checked and now it works. It even knows the town I am in. I will play with it more.

Doesn't seem to work. Search for "internal engine" and see most results talk about internal combustion engine. By contrast, Google with Verbatim option returns only results with the exact phrase "internal engine".
