I counter your three with Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Now for the next round you hit me with three countries that have better standards of living than mine and that don't help the poor. 5 bucks a round?

And depending on the society you live in, you feel more confortable moving further to one side or the other.

Like the other poster said, a lot of it is survivorship bias. There are tons of stuff that people did 1000 years ago that have just been discarded through time by being clearly ridiculous/wrong. We mostly never even hear about them a

It will probably happen in the future (assuming mma money is still there), but locally at first. To get to something close to the UFC they'll need to get much more competitive, meaning learning more disciplines and training harder.

Ha, I was going to reply to you as if you were seriously criticizing this being on HN, then it kicked in :-)

Born and raised, and currently still living in a third world country. What you say is true, except for education. At least, I don't see how you lower corruption as a cultural value without increasing the quality and pervasiveness of e

In many countries around the world it is definitely a luxury brand.

Sort of. What if a woman said that her ideal husband would be a handsome man who wasnt a workaholic? I agree with you, but im just pointing out how, deep inside, everyone objectifies to some extent.

I wonder how broad the term 'model' is in this case.
41.
by sanoli 11y ago
Go for model instead of super model. The aesthetic difference is negligible, and i'd guess the egos, on average are smaller.

Don't forget, it was 10k in 1990.

Did you find anything acceptable, regarding the testing?

by sanoli 11y ago
Well, they should test actual grip, instead of percentage of skin contact. So what if it is 33% less? What if it somehow grips better having the prints (as might be the case on wet surfaces)? Also, don't go testing in some material t

Fingerprints form while in the uterus. The location of a tree's first leaf will be influenced by the factors up until that time. It's still the same thing. Leaves won't move around from branch to branch.

I always hear about how american college students, upon graduating, take a year off to travel around. How common is this? 10k should be around 20k by now, how common is it in the US for parents to give 20 thousand in free travel money to a

K&R's "The C Programming Language" would be my vote, if you are smart and eager to learn. Might be some better, newer content, but you could do a lot worse.

Except that for pretty much everyone , especially everyone involved with swimming, they are synonymous.

At my local pool there's a 60+ year old who swims daily with a snorkel. He's a pretty good swimmer, does about 4,000 meters every day.

I don't even want anymore for my kids to win Nobel prizes or the equivalent in other fields. If it becomes their passion, sure, I'll support them. But I won't push them to be the absolute best, or wathever it is that tiger pa

Not to take anything away from what Gates did (and I admire his post-Microsoft goals), it's probably mush easier to do this with your assets when they are as large as his.

Not the same thing but similar, a programmer wrote once how he made his software delay the answer to some user action to make it look like the program was hard at work. The process was actually very fast, almost instantaneous, so he added s

There's probably a lot of this going. Comes to mind right now the way the Navy had about two seal teams in the beginning, and then decided to name the next one 'Team 6', to make it look like they had more. I've read abou

I remember those. They either came with a loupe, or mentioned explicitly to the buyer that you needed one to see individual numbers. Always wanted to get one. It looked like an all grey poster if you didn't know what it was.

The wedding band I wear was used by my grandfather (I wear it around my neck now, pain in the ass to remove it from my finger). I also have a 1961 mechanical watch that was a gift to my father from his brother-in-law, and now it's mine
