Am I the only one? I read news very casually, when I hit a paywall I just walk away. I checked so many times, and no one ever offers it within my parameters Would gladly pay $1 or do a 5 pack for $5-6 with a 1year use expiration. They usual

This is pretty strongly worded. I would only say you were "blessed" if your were predisposed to alcoholism. My life has had a huge variety of phases, some 6 months or one year periods with alcohol and others often longer 2-3 years

I'm at a loss for how to explain the polar opposite results of two situations I've been in. I worked 3 year in an office in two different countries where the prevailing mode was absolutely silence, no socialization, no connection,

I chose not to partake in any of those things knowing I really need my 9-10 hours. Genetic lottery blessed and cursed me in different ways, and my sleep requirements are one that will dictate my choices in life can't be the same as sho

I'm actually with a chain who tends to get extraordinary reviews, has 3 layers of security and A/c for all the units. . . really really depressed about their process with late payment. If not for this one shit tier aspect they&#x2

It's the most wonderful thing ever, I left the US and did a change of address to a Travelingmailbox.com address. They only scan the envelopes and on demand open and scan the contents. Sometimes I get credit cards and pay the nominal fe

Very interesting, so perhaps a poor example. I'm used to aggressive policies in the US to take you balance or similarly clean themselves of any financial obligation to you, but off the top of my head I don't have examples handy. G

When I had a unit in Paris I was really impressed with their efforts to contact me for small things, I feel they'd have tried every last resort if I was at risk of losing my things but I can't be sure. (Like for freaks sake at lea

Honestly after the FBI cleaned out all those safety deposit boxes in California and didn't even have to explain themselves in any meaningful way, I wouldn't even consider one for the normal purposes. Maybe I can get one in Singapo

This is unbelievably generous, I'm happy. I feel like people forget Hotmail et al. circa 2001 when 60 days passed and you lost everything. Sometimes you could keep your account and just the data was wiped out. This was ABSOLUTELY THE N

Fair enough. To be specific, as opposed to immediately before passports were invented I imagine it was similar to what it was like: 1. Before police patrolled in America 2. Before driver's licenses (you can still experience this in Cam

The problem is fraction reserves, as soon as that fraud is legalized, the entire marketplace is by definition fraudulent. If they did have reserves and fraction reserve was suddenly legalized, you get retroactively robbed in a sense. Holdin

Aside from WorkAudioBook I consider this the greatest language learning tool to exist. I watch Breaking Bad dubbed in Spanish, subs don't match, and paused to try to guess what they were saying every sentence and did tons of look ups.

I found this and I don't think there's any good proof he is bilingual...I will not set the bar so high for a coworker or friend but as a linguist I don't buy "used to be but I forgot it" "He was once fluent in

The most famous linguist in the world is a monolingual. Second language acquisition research is a joke, you cannot transform your learning by deep diving on it. And way too many linguists are barely capable of learning languages to fluency,

To make sure we're on the same page, at the level you describe, were you able to confidently watch YouTube videos on non-fiction topics like documentaries and generally always understand? Or for example dramas? Just checking because be

Pimsleur has an app. It's an incredible loss imo, gone are the days we could easily and safely permanently archive the mp3s to cloud drives "just in case". Now you'll have access to the expensive program for as long as y

Commonly repeated misconception. There is no way in h anyone learns Spanish in 480 hours. The number you are looking for is 575-600 class room hours which conveniently ignores this is 24 weeks with 7 hours of homework per week. Under nearly

That's a circular argument though, the label is also a moral judgement The public was becoming too liberal, didn't have a strong enough reaction to "prostitution" anymore. Hence they started relabeling most voluntary pro

My understanding is that the Colombian citizenship test is quite hard too. I don't think one can meaningfully use the difficulty of a citizenship test as a data point in an argument with zero contextualization. How hard exactly is it c

Yep there should be a two dimensional metric of how many tax payers' needs were met and how well were they met. Serving more tax payers without an improved performance (time to destination) metric is still a win.

I wish USB would just go away. Even the most basic possible use cases just fundamentally don't work, and are becoming worse each year. At least 10-15 years ago I was trying to copy data from one USB harddrive to another. I was already

Seems pretty arbitrary to me, iPhone charges directly from any standard USB power outlet. So why not shut down hotels and seize homes that have only old fashioned 120v blade plugs or whatever? Most hotels I stay in worldwide have USB plugs

Is the term "improve relationships" even appropriate as a "goal" when children are involved? As a 12-17 year old, there was nothing more awesome than having the house to myself, no parents. Relationships were better, as

Is the horrid UX of the Android operating system not the worst part about QR menus? You absent-mindedly hit the physical back button once instead of using the restaurant's ultra slow back button for navigation and you end up back at yo
