I seldom post here nowadays and have been visiting the site for quite a while. A major change I observe is that, unfortunately, a lot of political stuff finds place on the front pa…

> But these days, single parenting is the norm rather than the exception. This is a rather unusual observation I have to say. How did you come to this conclusion, might I ask?

On ice, when you fall, you slide and it's not so bad as a lot of momentum is transferred to the sliding movement. On inline skates, you don't have that benefit. Definitely wear wri…

It also serves to offer some protection against future attempts to outlaw it. Given how much of general purpose computation we lose every year to walled-gardens/prisons, I think it…

There will _always_ be more to do than for which you can make time. It is a matter of priorities. Figure out what is important. Then figure out how much time you are going to spend…

Melbourne has one too: http://thenomadicexplorers.com/sites/default/files/users/65/... (Not as big as the one in Sweden though)

That depends on how you measure the payoff.

Why would they do that when not spending any resources, time and money on having such scenes is more profitable as it doesn't appear to be hurting their viewership numbers?

I'd suggest spending the time needed to read through the documentation they have. It's not a lot of reading and it helps you understand how it works, what choices it makes and subs…

I've come across that as well. However, I'll add that it's a bit like saying that, in a 400m race (running), all the athletes are back where they started and they'd have been there…

Indeed. I think that is to allow them to stretch. If you take something like a shirt, for example, it'll be all merino wool. EDIT: Also I see that the proportions differ based on t…

I'm afraid, to me, that doesn't seem like sufficient explanation. Now, given a choice, even with outdated graphics, I'd rather play Diablo 2 than play Torchlight 2.

It's not a problem if you find appropriate quality and thickness. One example is Icebreaker Ultralight socks. I use them in summer and they are rather thin.

Cotton remains damp after you sweat and eventually also stinks of sweat. It's not a good base layer in cold weather. A lot of merino wool products are easy to clean and maintain. I…

While Torchlight and Torchlight 2 have a lot of "quality of life" improvements and are decent games in general, I've found that they lack the replay value which Diablo 2 (with LOD)…

A thicker device would be more comfortable to hold as well. It feels heavy and it is slim. So, it "digs" into the palms a bit depending on how you hold it and that is not comfortab…

If you are willing to strip the DRM and convert the files to epub or PDF, you can read them on the Remarkable 2. I do this as I prefer to read on the Remarkable 2 (compared to read…

I'm afraid we are talking past each other. I can not answer endless questions on this medium as it doesn't seem to take us forward. I'll leave you with a question though: Why does …

I'm afraid I have to disagree. There are innumerable issues which cause suffering and everyone chooses which ones they will concern themselves with (if at all) and to what degree. …

Rather than an individual thought, consider the "line of reasoning" or "train of thought" and then consider again where it leads. From two comments, it is hard to see whether your …

If you want to go down that line of thought, you would still have to concede that without adequate sleep, you will be ineffective. In either case, lying in bed, unable to sleep, th…

I assume you have already considered and observed the effect of alcohol and/or caffeine intake. One thing that definitely helps me is to have a routine for bedtime. A hot shower, b…

While a surprise birthday party etc. is definitely not a problem for me, if any of my friends considered my address, phone number etc. as his/her data, there'd be a rather serious …

The author of this particular book made his choice based on his experience teaching the course. While, of course no one can stop you from criticising his choice, on any day, I'd re…

The remarkable 2 tablet is a good (though expensive) device for writing. It feels quite a bit like paper and the different writing instruments you can select make for a lot of choi…
