Works well for me, but I’m not super into strength training at this time. If I was would prefer a gym membership.
Honestly you just need to do it. Even without equipment you can run, do push ups, crunches, air squats. No excuses for doing nothing in my opinion.
Edit: To add to this, I think working in tech industry now is very fast moving. I also put in a lot of effort to refresh & stay current. If you end up with the attitude of "it's too late to study", then you'll get left behind very quickly. Young people have a lot of free time and they catch up very very quickly.
However I feel they are slightly too conservative especially if you are young. If you are following their bond advise right now you are getting crushed for no good reason, and Warren Buffet would be the first to point this out.
But still, having the majority of money in a total market fund is sort of a “no brainer”, and reading this will explain why.
After reading Traffic, I always merge at the last minute (and I have never had to "slam the brakes" from this behavior)
IMO, That sentence is too verbose, especially with the title above it. Since 'Risk' is in the title, I would change it to: "(It's free!)"
With Janus, you can easily remove things you dont want and add plugins you need.
Some characters would be harder for me to remember than this, because this particular character is made up of common used components.
I didn't grow up with a lot of money, and was raised on the 'If it's available Wal-Mart, buy it at Wal-Mart' mentality.
Looking back on this, I wasted so much money on crap that just got replaced.
Now, I spare no expense (within reason....) to buy the nicest of what I want. End result? I'm more picky about what I buy, so I have fewer, but nicer things. and I am rarely left thinking "Well I wish my X could do Y".
Regardless, save as much as you can as early as you can...
I'm learning Chinese and the only way to translate English to Chinese is complete phrases / sentences. You can probably cheat much easier if your languages are more similar, but don't get lazy, think in phrases or you will never reach fluency.
2 -- The 3-star system. You can beat the level trivially, but depending on the level it is somewhere between moderately challenging to kick me in the pants hard to get 3 stars on a level.
3 -- It's funny. the birds, the pigs, the sounds they make, the way stuff crashes. I still snicker after countless hours played.
tl;dr - it's a near perfect combination of casual-play, challenge, and hilarity
There's not much of a 'lower middle' class, but there's a sizable 'upper middle' class. If you can get there, you can live very very well.
There's less foreign population than in Beijing (can't comment on Shanghai, some people like it more, some people less). I still get a lot of looks if I'm not in the 'heavily foreigner populated' sections, but you get used to it eventually.
Compared to Beijing, the air is much cleaner, the food much better and diverse, and the english ability is much much better.
Biggest problems: Learning chinese is hard, hot humid summer
Having said all of that... I have no interest in living in Mainland full time. The air is too dirty, the people are too rude, and the great firewall is too annoying.
shopt -s histverify
then if you type !$<enter> will replace !$ with /somedir but not hit return, so you could then modify it. Then you could do...
mv somefile -t /somedir
vim !$<enter>/somefile
To each his own, I suppose :)
