That's pretty cool, nice work learning the different languages. I guess if you moved around as a kid, you probably had to imitate language and behaviour to fit in.

How is your accent with the languages you've learned? I mean, do you think you could pass for a native speaker? I think the problem for the writer is they cannot say their name in the native accent. A similar but opposite example would

I've been thinking that linux on an xbox one could be a nice way to reuse all those consoles sitting un-used as people move to Series X/S. Also made me think that there could be a market for PCs that are inbetween laptop and deskt

This is funny. I love how some people prefer internet searches to speaking with actual people for information.

I think this was a very specific case of someone editing an image and introducing a mistake. Experts knew what the real flag should look like. For example, if the name on my birth certificate is Steve but my forgetful friends keep calling m

How was your recovery from burnout? When I see someone who seems stressed or overworked... I try to remind them that recovering might be easier before they get fully overwhelmed.

That sucks. I bet it was stressful as heck having issues with $2200 worth of kit. I've started to treat all purchases as a bit of a lottery. Things vary so much between product cycles and support quality. Sadly, I resigned to buying te

I remember when I was a kid, I'd heard various things about how Einstein failed school or was bad at mathematics or was just a simple patent office clerk etc etc... Seems he was in fact super smart and educated at good schools / u

I used LaTeX for building my resume around 20 years ago. I liked having a script that pulled a bunch of LaTeX files and push out a couple different versions of my resume. I had one pdf with my personal details included, and another without

The only "other example(s)" I could find from you was "The Bible". I (respectfully) avoided questioning it. I do agree with you about getting information from even primitive drawings. I think we differ in our views about

Romeo and Juliet is fictional. I mean sure, could count as "evidence" but you'd have to be aware of the strength of it. Imagine in a 100 years time, the next civilisation finds some popular dvd and tries to draw conclusions f

Exactly... just as 50 people can not design, build and test a 747 jumbo jet.

I wasn't making any claims about what I would do. Maybe I can better phrase my example.. Would Jesus heal a super sick / dying man who Jesus knew is gonna murder like 10 people as soon as he's better? The thought problem in m

A friend of mine raised an interesting question a few years back. If Jesus was godly and perfect all the time, he'd basically be an unemotional miracle engine who could do no wrong. If he was human but with access to godly powers... wo

I get what you mean about the "compared to what". And yeah I do reckon it's better in Britain than say the 50s when an Irishman or a Blackman couldn't even rent a place to live easily. When I reread your comment, I can c

I have a friend who is brown, he told me this happened at his work... Another colleague had made a joke where the punchline was something about my brown friend being detained by cops. So my friend was saying how it was driving him insane ho

There's been a lot of studies done on racism in the UK. Basically a victim is less likely to be punched in the face as compared to the past, but racism shows up in school grading, job finding success, hospital treatment, justice system

I guess as long as it's legal to remove assets with the credentials of the loved one who passed. In some countries you have to pay any inheritance taxes before you are legally able to take control of assets. I 100% agree with listing a

Almost the same as me... I explained to my wife where the SSDs with backups are kept. I regularly remind her that "the red plastic wallet" contains a printout of our financials. With a death certificate, she can chase up with the

I'm curious how you feel when listening compared to talking. I mean, is it more comfortable to concentrate with eye contact when you're listening to the other person? In other words when not trying to concentrate on forming a resp

by stevezsa8 4y ago
This is a pretty good point too. It's interesting that millions of people will probably read stuff about "eye contact = trust/attention", when in fact this is a complex topic. Reminds me of the pseudoscience on how &quot

Same here. I tell my wife that Matchbox are the "proper cars" and Hotwheels are the whacky lumo-plastic monstrosities.

Yeah this is a common issue for people who move across cultures. I had a boss who said he only hires a certain ethnic group because they always take on more work and never say no. He had 2 of these people end up in hospital and a formal acc

The human body is giving non-verbal cues in many different ways. Maybe you've found something that works well for you.

Yeah I wonder how the anti-immigration-reason leave-voters feel about that.

Keep in mind that in some cultures eye-contact is avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_contact#Cultural_differenc...

I feel you're kinda moving the goal posts here. From "always going to be unaffordable" to "Service will continue to be trimmed until the system collapses"

I'd agree. The Series X has atleast 2 large cavities near the intake and outflow vents. These alone must take up like 5%+ of the volume.

Thanks for the link. The tips at the end were good.

This is a really good point. As much as we all want to find another person who is interested in us... I feel fewer people make the effort to show (genuine) interest in others.
