But it goes the other way too. I've had a miscommunication before because I told someone who grew up in China that something was "alright". Which as an American I meant "it's really fucking good, but I'm not ba

Like the other comment said, it is a difference in cultural perspective. I personally think it comes from the massive population. As an individual, you MUST present yourself as being the absolute best. If you're "just okay" y

Now would be a great time to engender some global good will by putting some of that $250b in cash to work. Tim Apple is starting to look a bit like Smaug atop his literal pile of money.

I find it very interesting how either more people are anxious and scared this go disaster, or we're just talking about it more. I don't remember there being this much discussion about reducing anxiety in past crises. I'm also

It has to fit their manufacturing process. Which was likely the bulk of the man hours. Taking a spec sheet, and figuring out how to make it work with existing tooling and processes so they don't have to wait to retool the factory.

People ask me why I like driving with the windows down when I can, and I tell them it's so I can hear my blindspot. I don't think it occurs to most people that auditory queues are just as useful when driving as visual ones.

All of those shipping container to modular homes should be working on making mobile hospital wards. Doesn't need to be fancy, just functional and better than being in a tent. Need someone to coordinate it though.

Before I'd actually done any real driving, I thought Gran Turismo 4 with a Logitech wheel and pedals was the real deal. Then I started driving and realized it's not quite there. It certainly taught me about proper corner entry, bu

Brave isn't actively scamming anyone. You have to sign up and put your own money in the pot with etoro for anything to get a cut. If you're willynilly giving people money for complex financial instrument's, you probably shoul

The top answer is missing one part: The heart is actually "resting" 60-70% of the time, the time between contractions, and it fires in a staggered fashion. The high level of mitochondria means it can produce the ATP it needs durin

Not necessarily. If it's already in a sizable portion of the population but mostly undetected, it will kill some seemingly healthy young people. They may have some unknown underlying condition, may have the genetics to trigger a lung
