It happened to me, I called and talked for an hour and managed to get my money back. I finally got the person on the other side of the phone to agree to “discuss with my superior” after asking them to describe what the word theft means and

Managing your anger does not mean forgiving or not taking action, it just means you have freedom to do it so on a rational basis rather than emotional. So you write your angry letter, burn it, then do what needs to be done, free from angry.

Yeah, countries could create extra mechanism to try to minimize discrimination in immigration, taxes, decisions in hospitals, renting/buying a place to live, inheritance, and many other issues that could not come to mind. Or you could

This is quite subjective, but for me being in control of what I learn in SRS means I don't get bored. I am only adding things that I am interested in learning, and if I become bored of something, I just delete it. It might sound counte

When Anki is the right tool for the job, it is amazing. I used it to study the questions for the FCC radio amateur license. Pre-made decks were available, so I just loaded it and studied on my phone when I had free time. I had around 2 mont

I had the same experience. I invested a lot of time on Anki and it paid back, but I could never stick to it. There is always a point where I have to skip 2 or 3 days because of life and the huge backlog is too much that I give up. I recentl

I also thought they meant eyeglasses. I used glasses for a few years and never cared much for chromatic aberration, but once I started to use contacts, going back to glasses makes it very noticeable, specially on the periphery of the lens.

I read maybe two or three of these articles here on HN, and I am totally convinced that this is true, but my boss is not reading HN and has a different opinion. A shared office is also cheaper for him, so I need more than forwarding a link

I am pretty sure Amazon was giving me ads based on books on my kindle that I did not buy through Amazon, so you also would have to pay attention not to connect to any network even if you acquire books by other means.

Termux is the main thing I miss when I’m using iOS instead of Android. It’s a shame that Google tightening Android’s security made Termux stuck with an older API (this is why also it is not available on the Play store anymore). Because of t
