Just to calm your nerves. I had mine done today and, despite the intermittent choking and gag reflex, it was actually completely fine. Turns out I have Barrett’s esophagus, maybe caused from acid reflux and stress I've had since a kid.

I really did not need to read this the week before I have a camera put in my stomach. Crap.

I have persistent anxiety and every few months my body will either revert to one of the symptoms you described there or invent something entirely new and fun for me out of the blue. It took a while for me to realise what was happening and a

The more I work in this industry the more I resent upper management and boards. Not just the guy he's writing about, but even just venture and this guy himself. Is this guy really contributing so much to society that it's just he

Even if I think it misses the mark, I understand the impetus behind making this kind of description to be honest. Learning Japanese is a big adventure of looking back and realising you were told white lies by about 50 different sources, and

The thing is, most people saying this only pretend to give a damn because it reinforces the belief they already want to have that Asians are barbaric or undeveloped. It's just back-propogation of conclusions. So people are going to be

It's a uniquely western thing to pontificate about how enlightened we are about animal welfare while simultaneously funding the majority of the global meat industry - maybe. While it's true some Asian countries eat animals &quo

Consciousness does exist in some form though. The "experience" of sensations that we're both having right now is what many would label being conscious surely? I too don't think it's anything necessarily magical or s

While I'll partly concede that to you - it also is literally the case that Spotify couldn't drop to match Apple Music's prices exactly because or this 30% cut.

If someone came up to an American abroad and demanded they attest for the detention centers on the border people would call that ridiculous. The idea this person is entertaining the idea of doing the same for Chinese people who work with th

Would it be petty of me to say I just hate DuckDuckGo's name? I know that's a stupid thing to pick your search on over privacy but when I use it I can feel myself internally screaming at how lame the branding is - I can't be

My job gives me no bonus or raise after a year and a half, despite obvious vast increases in my responsibilities and the assumption of another engineer who lefts' tasks too.. I just don't know how to approach asking because I hate

Despite all that, Japanese IT data security is a joke though. They all talk the talk here but most systems I've seen are held together by sticks and glue on the backend. If I didn't live here I wouldn't dream of giving my dat

This argument makes about as much sense as saying seatbelts may give a false sense of security and cause people to drive recklessly. The WHOs mask advice is all outdated and from the perspective of stopping people from trying to catch the v

Things like the spelling of cheque are prime examples of this. We mock the Americans for their simplistic spelling, but in actuality we took "cheque" after America had split off already in an attempt to sound more French and eloqu

Lots of people in the west unfortunately don't know or care about the situation and just grab whatever map of "China" they can find on google images, unaware its got another country in it. What's odd though is the author

Really interesting article. Ironically, though, an article about mapping responsibly is using a map of China with Taiwan on it.. That's a pretty huge oversight. Edit: Downvote all you like guys - but Taiwan is an independent nation. :)

The Japanese release all the energy saved up not committing other petty crimes by being notorious umbrella thieves. Tokyo is the umbrella crime theft capital of the world. The lockers prevent the "Oh I thought it was mine", excuse

Umbrella lockers in Japan are always free. They're just a more secure version of the convenience store trypophobia buckets.

This might come off as somewhat pessimistic but I actually think Japan is one of the worst implementers of Kaizen anywhere. Japanese are famously conservative in how they work, with employees largely avoiding taking on any responsibility an

Hearing voices in your head without having sight to confirm if anyone's actually there or not sounds actually terrifying.

Hook Microstrategy up to your lake then. If they just want inbound analytics and conversions then IT were probably recommending a data lake out of their own want to make it, rather than the actual need.

On the other hand though there also are people who are in a rut and get stuck in a negative cycle that affects them - I was there for the middle 4 years of my 20s and slowly have started to pull myself out with help from family and friends.

These western romanticized talks of China like its some cute little network of farm villages while simultaneously calling people out for their "first-world takes" is really only showing your own ignorance. Wuhan isn't some ba

What is this patronizing take. Wuhan is not some backward 1700s farmers market with maidens carrying pales of milk around on their shoulders. It's a fully developed bustling city.

Even if you're a local this is the procedure. If the building doesn't have a lost and found (besides the train systems not all places do) then the police box will make you give over your contact information and a bunch of other st
