I feel it's common in most cultures. As a former Rhodesian and South African, it's seen as fair game due to viewing things as a 'rigged system'. I always used to think we were far more corrupt and nepotistic than the res

They should honestly close it down for those days. It sounds like a torture method straight out of Guantanamo.

This piece resonated with me a lot, as I've also gone through burnout twice - once towards the end of my PhD, and once at a previous job. As a result, I completely agree with your conclusion on getting overwhelmed after once being rath

Is this not the desktop function? Use three fingers to swipe up on the touchpad, and click the plus sign in the top right hand corner. Keep the one 'hat' in the one desktop and the other 'hat' in the other one.

If you look at the torrent, it's almost 100% certain it's real. For me, his iCloud pictures seal the deal in terms of legitimacy. It would be a very elaborate scheme to fake all of those. Of course, deepfaking is still a hypothesi

Hunter Biden took his personal laptop in for repairs one day and just left it at the shop, never to return to collect it. The leaker is more or less an IT guy who found it hilarious to leak the contents of his laptop online. The most import

This has been floating around now for about two days, and this is the first time I've seen any formal outlet cover the story other than Telegram channels and Twitter aggregators. It's rather telling about the state of mainstream A

No published paper, yet they decided to publicise it in a social media post? Bizarre.

This comment is from the perspective of a Calibre power-user, and someone who has been involved with the software for years now. I must admit, I'm slightly shocked at some of the comments here. Kovid puts in an extraordinary amount of

He's a consultant (the most senior and advanced type of doctor you get here in the UK) cardiologist, meaning that he likely works crazy hours (read 60-80 hours per week and above). He's not a professional content creator.
