I guess you are answering to the "you also get friends" part of my comment. What you suffered was horrifying, I hope you have recovered. There's degrees in bullying. Mine was not that bad in comparison to yours. The kid who w

I'm sorry you had a bad time at school. > give an appreciable reason You might not have succeeded at that. You did a very good job at denigrating school though :) Let me try to tell you my view: both homeschooling and schools have r

"Ultra-processed" is a term denominating a particular kind of food. Not every food that "involves a lot of treatment of the raw ingredients" qualifies as ultra processed. In particular, the end result needs to be high in

As a Starcraft 2 aficionado, I read the title with a different tone than probably intended. (Context: SC2 is a competitive game where players are distributed in "leagues" according to their skill in the game. "Gold" is o

I can imagine a parallel chanel where FAA is informed but NOTAMS are not issued, or issued selectively.

Does it have a "remove the random life crap from online recipes"? That is the worst offender for me.

> they would plant them upside down That makes no sense. It takes more effort to plant a tree upside down and not irrigating it than it takes to plant it the regular way and not irrigating it.

I can see some differences, but none of them seem "big". In code you don't have all the extra communication avenues that we have when speaking, like body language, intonation, sarcasm and so on. On the other hand, when writin

Not “polite”. But, you know, professional. You are supposed to be the ultimate stealth ship. Act like it. A fish boat shouldn’t be able to detect you, especially if all it takes is a slight twist on the joystick. It’s like a ninja being see
