Because it's tasty and because it's a great source of proteins.

Shouldn't there be some fallback in place when the game can't fetch the add from the server? I mean, it's one basic test scenario they should have thought of.

Sounds like Ageism to me.

>This money system was built into what it is now by the Medici:

It's funny because the Warburgs could trace their lineage back to Venice.

How is the title accurate, when in the middle of the article there's this:

"Most experts agree with Tipton that protein is best consumed in food instead of supplements. But there are some exceptions, such as athletes who find it difficult to hit their daily protein targets, points out Graeme Close, professor of human physiology at Liverpool John Moores University. “I believe most need more than the recommended daily allowance, and there’s good evidence to support this,” he says. In this case, he says, a shake can be useful.

Another demographic who can benefit from extra protein? The elderly. That’s because as we age, we need more protein to retain muscle mass. But we also tend to eat less protein as we get older because our taste-buds begin to prefer sweet over savoury."

In my opinion there is no such thing as too much protein. You should have an estimate of how much calories you burn each day and eat accordingly. Supplements, like shakes, are just easier to consume since they're liquids, and some people have low appetite.

Most people should eat more protein and vegetables, but ditch any refined sugars, oils, processed food, and cook their meals instead of eating garbage snacks.

A window manager (I3) and IIS (web server) are completely unrelated. Or am I missing something?

Thank you, I'll check it out.

I3 is the only software I miss when working on Windows.

This is such an awful take. First of all 95% of consumers have no idea about how software and hardware works, they'd have to install the OS, drivers and basic programs. Most consumers value commodity above all, and they are more than willing to pay for it.

The plant's lifespan would outweigh that, as we should plan for the long term.

I am sure all minorities, specially the ones more affected by long term unemployment are happy to know that their means of subsistence are being shipped to East Asia, but at least Citigroup has a cool new PR op.

Or Australia could just build a few smaller nuclear plants away from urban centers and be much more effective and environment friendly.

Westerners fail to understand tribalism, or any clannish attitudes.

Even the so called "experts" in charge are pretty much clueless about it.

> I read people waxing poetic about the prospect of erasing international borders and becoming a brotherhood of man and then at the same time rejecting homogenization of culture.

Everyone who is against borders is openly in favour of homogenization. Specially when we talk about western countries. In the West, for some reason we need diversity. In the rest of the world diversity isn't needed and preserving the homogenity of the natives is paramount.

I'm sure there aren't any hidden intentions behind it tho.

Investing in a country so that manufactures raise the standard of living of the population, and of course the lack of dependence on foreign countries.

If all you do is exporting raw materials and import manufactured good you're a colony. There's a reason for countries like China wanted to be the manufacturing center of the world.

I think you can come up with a more intelligent reply, unless you think this is all about tennis balls.

The army flees or joins the Taliban. The rest of the population doesn't have any will to fight in one of the places where it couldn't be easier to acquire an AK-47 and with luck a few vehicles that cost hundreds of millions of dollars like the several M1117 left behind.

Leaving Afghanistan is still the best thing the USA could do, and should teach a lesson (it won't) for the West to not meddle in those countries.

Whichever mental illness he had didn't get better by drowning in absinthe.

Just ask a random journalist who thinks he's some Democracy Defender when was the last time any of his research uncovered some corruption scandal in any branch of the government or powerful financial or banking institution. Given that most news agencies depend on either publicity, or their billionaire owners to survive, it's not like they're intrinsically trustworthy.

Most of them are as brainless as the average news reader, quite more of a zealot for the system they're supposed to scrutinise than an impartial informer of daily events.

Just check most journalists' twitter accounts.

you don't need a new school course to know that you should always double check anything you read and try to go to the primary sources directly.

It sure was a good idea to allow every factory to move to East Asia.

My only opposition to this is that labor should be done by fully paid employees, and not having companies getting this legal avenue to cheap labor, and that most convicts should have been executed a long time ago instead of actually giving them an occupation to entertain their time.

I can't recommend enough the book "Napoleon the great" by Andrew Roberts.

He was one of the greatest men in History, and everyone should look up to him as an example.

yeah tax the little guy playing games or trying to be confortable in a hot day, that's a great plan man.

I'm pretty sure we can all afford yet one more tax.

What would be a great opportunity to bring back Western talent who move abroad to Asian plants, and also bring back part of that production to Europe and the USA just won't be taken.

Producing the much needed chips would be great for any economy.

If you ignore all the harm and violence caused by drug traffickers to get the drugs, from production to distribution in their final destination, I guess you can pretend it's just an harmless transaction between consenting adults.

It's obvious that you can't direct 100% of the police's resources to one specific area, but the reason why some people might feel they are not affected by serious crime, or organized crime, is because the consequences of these types of crime are quite serious and therefore should be prevented.

It's like saying you don't need a vaccine because you never get sick. Yeah there's a reason for that.

So yes, the police should focus more on human and drug traffic than bike theft.

There is also a BBC documentary on architecture[1], and his multiple interventions on the subject [2]

> are busy kicking out refugees, imposing tough sentences on gang related crime or demanding action against the crime of the week So in your opinion they should invest more in petty crimes rather than serious crimes?

If you enjoy reading any of Machiavelli's books or letters, I highly recommend Frederick the Great book called "Anti-Machiavel" (as well as his other books), for a different POV

I am eager to return to the office.

I intend to work one week in the office, and the rest of the month remotely. Trying to balance the best of both worlds.
