There is an eye exercise for short-sighted people that involves painting a dot on a window glass and then repeatedly changing focus between the dot and the scenery behind the window.

Basically, focus on the dot for 10 seconds, then on the back. Rinse and repeat several times, 2-3 times a day.

I was given this exercise over 30 years ago and its goal was to stop the worsening of the eyesight. Fwiw, in my case, it seemed to have worked.

Political volatility and the dirty nasty hustle on the Trump/republicans' part that will precede the mid-terms. Combined with the general state of bizarre market bonanza of the past few months. It's a powder keg just waiting for a match.

The market will correct before mid-terms next year. This is almost a certainty. By how much and when exactly - now, that's where the shorting profits are.

PS. Burry infamously made several more bets after the "big short", bets that misfired. That is, his record is far from being 100% right.

The rule of thumb is that if there's a mention of or a link to the Yanko Design website, you know it's a pipe-dream design concept detached from reality.

Here it features the review by YD, so, yeah, that's not just not built, it's not buildable in principle :)

.300 would seem more appropriate

The problem is not the lack of patches. The problem is with websites refusing service based on client's version from the user-agent or breaking by using cutting edge features without a polyfill.

"Firefox version 115 is the last supported Firefox version for users of Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1."

That's a version from over 2 years ago.

Browsers are the problem.

Firefox outright refuses to install on older Windows versions for a couple of years now. Very lazy and negligent move on Mozilla's part.

"Function" link in the Examples section of the poof repo is 404.

Do I understand correctly that in order to pay someone through your service I need to first create an account and then link it to a conventional card?

If so, it's ultimately a PayPal remake?

I read it as a problem with solar panel voltage going over declared threshold of 37v in certain meteo conditions.

That is the issue is with the wrong labeling of things that are being plugged into this vendor's device, not the vendor's own labeling.

Starbucks exploded also because there was a void created by anti-smoking campaigns. People needed a healthier vice and something to do on their smoke breaks - et voilà, Starbucks offered just that.

Starbucks Reserves are quite impressive though.

I've been to one in Milan, in the old postoffice building right smack in the middle of the city and it has an astounding selection of coffee styles and very cool ambiance [1].

But, yeah, I agree that regular shops are underwhelming and overpriced by local European norms.

It appears you are attempting to access this website from a country outside of the United States, therefore access cannot be granted at this time.

Must be something recent then. From an Internet meme or something like креведко?

This is incorrect.

Ортодоксальный doesn't carry these connotations at all.

If anything, it describes something that is stuck in old ways and/or pointlessly rigid.

I would never go with my kids on a bike on any road that's shared with cars. The risk, as small as it is, is still unacceptable to me.

Don't know about Germany, but in Netherlands it's solved with having proper cycling infrastructure. It's the right approach, but it is still more of an exception. Where I am at they just painted cycle paths on existing roads and then tried to make it safer by cutting speed limit in half and eliminating lots of street parking. And now it's a mess that doesn't work well for anyone. Next elections are in a year, will be interesting to see how that will go.

> Like, have you every flown somewhere to attend a conference and a meeting? Same thing.

I flew to an expo where our company had a booth and the US border patrol took me aside and started asking if I'd be selling things there or working at the booth in some other form. I told them that I am a tech going to see other companies' stuff. They then discussed something between themselves for 10 minutes and let me pass. This was 20 years ago, so them being picky is certainly not a new thing.

This was in the news. Thieves got caught. They were Romanian gypsies.

That's on newer iOS versions and, by extension, on newer Apple devices only though.

I would probably end up mainly focusing on how cringey this prompt is.

It’s a natural convergence point for the technique if you want to avoid disproportionately large pieces that come from the sides.

Lol, what an amateur hour :)

BMW still sells a subscription to advanced headlight functions, live traffic info in their navigation and few other things. It's just now a packaged deal and they also opt you in by default into a three month trial. The car is also all but unusable without an online account, so there's that.

Regrettably, despite of all the brouhaha with the heated seats, all this b/s never really went away.

> On top of all that, they’re awful cars.

They certainly aren't.

Point being that even though this time the takedown targets were reasonable, the next time they might not be, but the mechanism will be already in place.

It bears repeating -

While all games delisted at MC/Visa demands were from the rape and/or incest nsfw genre (and that should've not been on Steam to begin with), it still set a dangerous precedent as the game selection criteria was ultimately subjective. Relatable, but subjective. Next time it will again be subjective, but not as clear cut, yet the precedent will already be in place.

He actually says just that!

Basically, he says that he was approached by some random person and was gifted a copy of The Hobbit. This person turned out to be an illustrator of translated edition (same as at the OP's link) and he made Bilbo look like Leonov (the guy in the video).

As a footnote, Leonov famously voiced Soviet version of Winnie The Pooh in all its glorious 3 episodes:
