It certainly only appears like I am "self-promoting" but I was not aware of that until you pointed it out....Which, even so, I don't care whether someone cares or not about it. There are a number of "well-regarded"

Can you learn how to play the piano with Spaced Repetition? No. The same applies to any number of things that we should practice doing until it becomes automatic. SR has its uses but it is not a panacea, nor it is as interesting as rolling

My litmus test of someone being intelligent or not--among other such tests--is what they say about Shakespeare. This might anger the Brits, but Shakespeare is garbage--and the guy says: "I read .... most of Shakespeare." One famou

thank you. I believe most people will sooner or later develop "bad experiences" with other people. To clarify though, I did not mean that I have cancelled out all human beings. There is a certain group that I trust--the primary co

i developed an obsession with Rocky Mountains mountain-bike; although mine is cheap one, the bike is well-designed and can attain speeds of 35 km/h within 10-seconds...I can bike at that speed for up to 40 km before I can describe it a

this makes me ask: "all that for what???"

well, welcome to 2022. It's hard to find really smart people: don't be fooled by credentials and a superficial love of learning...Even those who seem to have a certain amount of erudition are not really smart--there's a clue

if they had written this in the landing page, i would not have written my rantish comment.

why would i need to do that instead of Jupyter Notebooks?

not sure what the livebook is--the landing page is not sufficiently clear or coherent.

i dont know what kind of disfunctions niydists have but as a normal and healthy man, i can't NOT feel anything even in the presence of a naked flabby sea-lion of a woman.

on a nudist beach or a nude sauna, i would have a permanent 3erktion--until it were to be resolved. as it is, the models on the ads along streets are already troublesome enough. isn't it my right to live in a world where semi-nude wome

My comment did not deny Ukrainians ANYTHING. Also, your claim of oppression needs to be cited or else it's hot air. Again, I didn't say Ukrainians didn't exist: they were called Russians the same way Bavarians are called Ger
