Yet other times the lack of that word denotes a different perspective on that subject.
Short term or long term happiness isn’t differentiated in the untied states. I don’t think of happiness in terms of long or short term. Just as a temporary state that hopefully last a long time.
Think of all the words we use to express love in English. In Chinese a word technically exists for love but it’s not used between people more for things but even then it’s not the same word. This is a perfect example of the characteristics of a language representing a change of perception on something as powerful as expressing love.
In one of the linked articles it shows one campsite who charged 5 dollars for a reservation but BAH was charging the campsite 6-8 dollars for the reservation. So they raised their prices to cover the more than 100% fee that the campsite had to pay for a service they used to offer for no extra charge to an organization they were forced to enter into by the state. Then BAH won’t disclose anything about the fees and contract so we have a black box of a contract making god knows how much money in a monopoly.
You could say well I don’t know how Ticketmaster absorbing all competitors and becoming a defacto monopoly and charging 30% fees to the buyer and 30% fees to the booker and is rampant corruption since they’re just passing on credit card processing fees.
Pinnacles park is like 60 dollars a night. I bet I could get a hotel nearby for cheaper. It doesn’t scale either for the season. I went to camp at a lake and recreation charged around 50 and the campsite was 20% full.
Well a hobbyist that took 4 years to develop his design so not just some dude who built something over a weekend. And by that logic a lot of countries could make ICBM nukes on their own - why don't we open source that technology since there's no reason not to share it since they already could probably figure it out.
The point isn't that it's different or the same, the point is that the very definition of the site is that all content and moderation pretty much is created by users, and that the users hate being forced to install yet another app when it works fine for years as a mobile webpage. There was/is a spirit to reddit and it's being destroyed and if you love something and someone takes steps to change the thing you love into something you don't then you're going to resent and hate it. There's also the idea of not feeling powerless and at the mercy of every corporation by banding together to try to effect change. But you act like it's just a bunch of immature kids who are pouting about something silly. It's deeper than that.
I agree. He could have just cut out the first paragraph and it would have been decent advice. Some people have health anxiety and suggesting something like this can trigger them to obsessively worry about whether this have this or not.
Oh he hit you with the, "do your own research." I also like that he posts that on this article about an 81 year old running 130kms. How many of his peers who did 30 minutes can barely walk but he's out there killing it.
I've been recovering from a hip injury and can't run more than 2-3 miles but I can walk. My real goal is to climb Denali among other peaks and I'm wondering how I can get into shape during this period with just walking. Do you just max incline 4mph and go for a couple of hours?
I was looking for properties to rent in Italy and VRBO was insanely better than the airbnb prices, data, and options. I was really shocked because I always thought of VRBO as some sort of mostly-luxury option with limited properties available.
What a cool parent you are. I’m trying to do things like this with my toddlers and it’s exciting to see what others are doing. Things like what you described are my absolute favorite reason to write code.
It's all subjective. I learned Spanish at the defense language institute and then used it extensively in South America and Mexico for work and travel and it opens so many doors. One thing is that I'm not hispanic so people see me speaking it there and it blows their minds. For hispanic people if they don't speak it they are judged and if they do, they're judged somewhat if it's not up to snuff so maybe your experience in those situations is different.
I had friends who went through the same language school for Chinese and German among other languages and they never used it. All the German linguists got reclassed into other languages like Spanish in the 90s. Last year I went on vacation to Puerto Vallarta and it was so useful even in a tourist heavy place like that. But I am sorry you do find it useless and I don't doubt it based on whatever your daily life is like and hobbies.
On a separate note it's not too late to learn Chinese or German!
I mean those guys are drone nerds too. Maybe it won't be a ton of footage coming out of there but there will be some of those guys using these. Besides that, I used to fly aerial mapping missions over afghanistan and the same reason we needed high res images super fast (as opposed to tasking satellites) for a low level op coming in a few days to see ingress points, chokepoints, hlz sites fresh, etc. They definitely have a role there but not the every day sort of recce the grunts are using them for.
I worked on a program for a foreign military sale to a Middle East country and learned a lot like every foreign company had to pay someone to get ahead at all. It’s crazy to me this is news. It’s literally impossible to do business there without bribes. The USAF didn’t knoww and we had to work hard to hide the money used for that purpose. We lost part of a lucrative contract because of a rival defense company bribing a different prince.
100% Agree. It's an entire article written about a celebrity or politician's tweet reacting to another celebrity or politician. It's an entire article that talks about some filler setting up the background, the actual embedded tweet, a paragraph or two quoting that tweet with filler in it, then perhaps a second reaction tweet or a bunch of tweets that random people responded with either positive/negative or both depending on what the author is trying to achieve or influence.
If the point of this is to correct the disadvantages faced by ancestors which cascade through the generations then it should be determined by number of ancestors not a single qualifying ancestor. If I am 2% African American 98% white, and my 2% ancestor was a slave, do I get the same as someone who the majority of their ancestors from that period were slaves? Did our ancestors face the same amount of disadvantages?
I believe that’s how people perceive it. The imbalance of power and the sense of injustice. But a lot of times those people conquered by the more powerful group just committed an atrocity to get that land. But it was more evenly matched? It’s bizarre.
Maybe he means rote memorization and studying the answers to the test rather than someone who is actually building and tinkering and wanting to understand how things work and apply that knowledge.
The Portuguese owned it for what, 500 years? At what point does something become someone else's? Modern China was created through invasion and bloodshed by various political groups just like every single country in the world.
Not wasting lives on worthless activities? Is a bench player in the nba or someone who bounces between minor and major leagues wasting their life because they’re not Lebron James? Or are they getting paid to do something that they’re pretty good at but certainly not great at? Sorry you can’t score 30 points a night, maybe just go find fulfillment with your family…
They also want a steady stream of cookies and iPad games and to be able to climb on high dangerous objects but maybe we shouldn’t indulge every want of a child.
When I wanted to leave Saudi Arabia and bring my dog I had brought there, it took about 15 signatures from Arabs in various offices around the ministry of agriculture. Everyone wants to be not management but upper management.
I wanted to know too. It seems he was inspired by fish being naturally preserved in the arctic by wind and cold and how it was still tasted good later.
"After years of work on his own process, Birdseye invented a system that packed dressed fish, meat, or vegetables into waxed-cardboard cartons, which were flash-frozen under high pressure"
