I was working full time and did my PhD at the same time. My employer let me do the work at work (there was a lot of overlap) and only had to travel to university to take a few classes (made up the time by working longer hours and sometimes

Sure. A lot of the playground are kinda dull today especially as the kids get older. My kids learned to climb trees in my yard and in the parks around. They also sometimes climb on top of the playground elements to get their thrills.

A few jobs back when I was working for a fairly large telecom company there was a similar kind of thing for the software department. I was in hardware but sometimes I would interview software people if they were hired to participate on my p

Brazilian JiuJitsu. After trying and failing for many years to exercise, this sport keeps me coming back. I feel the difference from before: better posture, strength, and flexibility. I also feel happier.

Not sure about that. If Matlab is their main competition, then they are much cheaper and you get tons more (that you may never use but its there...) for the price of just Matlab's base software. The downside is that the engineering com

This reminds me of the documentary Race to Nowhere. They talk about the high suicide rate amongst teens due to burn out from school and how some were brought back from the brink. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_to_

It doesn’t seem to be the default anymore on iPhone. Mine was set to private and doesn’t show on the feed. I got Venmo about a year ago.

Only 150 people with 35 intubated. There are several factors that could explain (at least part of) their results and one is age. They do mention that age denotes a statistically significant difference between intubation and no intubation un

None at all. When the democrats are in office you kick out far right. When the republicans are in you kick out far left. This way you avoid getting regulated. It’s a free country and your company it’s all good. It opens up opportunities for

This is a free country you can listen to whatever channel you want and let them listen to whatever they want.

Yeah you are right. Instead they burn down businesses and riot in the streets and go attack far right rallies. It seems both far left and far right are embolden these days. No science on either side. No one wants to listen to the other side

Similar issue with Aeroflot. They cancelled my flight and issued a refund but said it would take weeks. After 4 weeks called my credit card company and they issued a credit to my account immediately. The credit card company said that I coul

Yes. Sorry. Ultralight can have one seat. Sport can have up to two. Agreed about the student pilot not getting an endorsement on an on-going basis. It's too much of a risk to them.

You can fly a category of airplanes called ultra-light and you don't need a pilot's license. You can take a single passenger. It is based on airplane weight and horse power. Different countries have different standards. https:&#x

Given current, insufficient levels of protection, periodic measles epidemics are more or less to be expected. That’s because immunization rates appear to have plateaued, in recent years, at around 85 percent. Communities of vaccine skeptics

OK. So let's say it is the placebo effect. You can pay $50 for a massage that will manage your pain or better yet get rid of it or you can pay 100's of dollars and your insurance 1000's to be relieved of the pain with pain ki

It sounds suspiciously odd that people want to boycott information. I understand if you don't care about whether a product is a GMO but to prevent other people from finding out and dictate to them what they can and cannot eat sounds el
