Thank you, it's just what I happened to be looking for! For those of us in Europe can you recommend your choice of flour (and perhaps some other replacement ingredients)

Would you mind sharing some (or all) of your findings? I've never been to that part of the world (based in Europe) but been planning to prepare home made tortillas since last week. I'm struggling to find such in-depth insights on

I wonder if they measured some other music too. I'm pretty sure listening to something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Y_ztEW1NE will do equally good or better job in reducing anxiety. Why not listen to so

Interesting fact about Goethe: as The Sorrows of Young Werther became widely popular it inspired surge in suicides among young men. Suicide became a fashion in those days. This is called The Werther Effect: https://en.wikipedia.o

Yes it's misleading, I suspect purposefully. The cost of green unroasted coffee cannot be compared with "global coffee revenue" ... roasting makes coffee lose 30%, then you add packaging, shipping, labor to distribute ... fin

Pathetic headline. Most of these projects are only concepts, some not even built and several years old now dug up for the purpose of this apparently fake article. Finally, you don't need to be a billionaire to afford those in Poland or

Iceland has a population of a provincial town. I noticed it's often featured in news headlines as some sort of an example in relation to other countries this fact being omitted.

No it's not an established fact at all as far as I know - but it's in interesting suggestion for a study (I happen to be data-scientist). My point here was that the coffee became a huge business sometime at the end of the 90 and b

I'm happy to share everything, but short on time to write everything down ... if you like drop me an email on hello () quantitup.com with your Telegram or whatsapp profile or similar where I can send a voice message

I own a coffee roaster with eshop and over 100 corporate customers. I love coffee. At the same time, I believe none of the "studies" claiming health benefits of it. One only has to study what it does to your brain to make a sound

Indeed. Balzac was famous for drinking many cups of coffee and working overnight. He died aged 50 of heart attack.

If you shower every day and use a soap, you will be clean no matter the water temperature. Hygiene is a matter of good habits and ethic.

Nope, where I live it gets -25 celsius in winter :) I wish I was in Florida though. Yes the bathroom is cold and it sucks to get out of warm bed but what motivates me is once you're out of the cold shower it's all over. I prefer s

Not really, it just more pleasant to take a shower with less of an impact after. Summer is easy, it's the cold winter that counts :)

I get under water gradually then stay there until I stop feeling discomfort. The part of the habit is not just the hygiene but the cold shower itself.

Yes, good to know as it's quite a usual counter-point I get. The differences are trivial in my opinion. I take about two showers a day, mainly because I do sports, so I think I make up with the volume ... even training in sometimes dod

As cold as it gets. I am from Eastern Europe but now staying in south of France for couple months. When I am home it can be as cold as couple degrees above 0, especially in winter on the countryside. Now in the south it's not so cold w

I've been taking cold showers exclusively for 11 years now. It doesn't get much easier but you'll get addicted to the great feeling after. It's similar to running or exercise, it sucks to do but you do it anyway because

That was exactly my point. And Duolingo is the perfect tool for such people ... for those who want to master the language and have the will Duolingo will slow you down. Also a lot of people speak here from English native point of view ... y

Memrise is better as its more structured. But it's only as a supplement. Duolingo is also a good supplement, not the primary tool. Best to take some class and drill textbooks with fill-in exercises. Then books with short texts on diffe

Serious effort is when you drill the grammar and memorise tense and forms of words. You'll have a base to build on. Take English for example, difference between past simple vs. past continuous is easier explained once than randomly com

I learned couple of languages with the help of Duolingo. They claim t be the fastest way to learn a language. I recently realized is only valid if you don't want to put the work in. People who are not willing to put serious effort into

Yes, but they are free ... I personally can't see the usability being painful enough to create a space for paid service. I'm heavy user of both Drive, Gmail for business and APIs ... few glitches here and there but still loving it

Sure, most guys are coders, but every hedge fund, every investment bank 100% relies on people who raise money. To have a hedge fund is all about your ability to attract funds, 95% don't outperform index. Nobody will do this without hug
