There's more variables than just "don't drink so much". Just the other week I woke up with a hangover after having two (4.5% ABV) beers. And this is coming from somehow who often measures their intake in liters, not bott

Ibuprofin can be hard on the stomach lining and result in stomach bleeding and intestinal damage, especially when mixed with alcohol. Plus it can be hard on an empty stomach and plenty of people have trouble eating during a hangover due to

They do have an official save converter[1]. Not sure if it works with the latest versions of CKII and EU4 but it's definitely worked in the past. Hell, you used to be able to do the "Grand Campaign" where you play CKII->EU

Right it was Forth! I remember reading that got me interested in stack-based programming languages. Maybe it was in a later book he wrote something based off APL.

I did see that while browsing newer shows the other day but I guess I didn't see the programming part and thought it was too generic to watch. I'll have to give it another look. Thanks for the recommendation!

Considering how many programming abstractions most programmers work above now, I'd say it's more like magic now then ever before. Draw the circle (add the boiler plate code), recite the words (dig up the proper API method), perfor

IIRC :wq always writes to and exits the file, thus updating the timestamp on it. :x (and ZZ) will only write to the file if there are new changes. So there is a difference between the two. Personally, I just use :wq because muscle memory an

Hair metal is another term for glam metal; think Guns & Roses, Warrant, those kinds of 80s hard rock/ kind of metal bands. Power Metal is like closer to speed metal; think of something like "Ramble On" played by Judas Pri

Anecdotally speaking, I'd have to disagree with the authors conclusion here. Most of my college-aged friends (many of which are from the University of Delaware, the same school the author goes to) rely solely on their credit cards; the

It's not even just an internet thing, you see this situation in pretty much every community, offline or online. Surfing beaches getting flooded by tourists, gyms get taken over every January, the quiet, local bar suddenly becoming a co

I too recommend "A Guide to the Good Life" but saying its a "more complete look into Stoicism" seems a little exagerating. Irvine covers a lot of of the major topics and offers a many excellent ways of integrating them i

How do you define happy? Are we talking about hedonistic pleasure? Stoic tranquility? Human flourishing (and if we are, Aristotle has some strong words for you regarding external goods)? Oneness with God? Can a clinically depressed person

I haven't read the book, but it seems to me as if you're making this judgement based solely on the line "an idea as compelling to the Greek and Roman stoics" and ignoring the fact that it's immediately followed up b

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm aware that it's not trivial to implement since they rely so much on the aforementioned OpenPGPjs library and that they're also working on implementing IMAP support. I just meant that

I have an account but don't really use it. The lack of support for desktop clients, while understandable, kills it for me. Also, for the record, they're now the maintainers of OpenPGPjs not OpenPGP [0]. [0]: https://prot

Actually, this may be a valid concern. It does look like Microsoft is trying harder and harder to lock down PC gaming. See Gabe's [0] and Tim Sweeney's [1] complaints. [0]: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012&#x

Unless the game's popularity dies down considerably (which it most likely will but we'll have to see, Pokemon is a strong IP after all), that probably wouldn't be sustainable. Every shop that could afford it would have one wh
