That's a brilliantly simple approach. You could even have an estimated difficulty score that updates based on number of moves, switches, etc. and ramp up target difficulty as the r…

As a Lebanese person, this is absolutely unremarkable. Almost any Arab, after hearing "my name is George Piro" in Arabic, would be able to tell recognize a Lebanese accent and the …

Thanks, it does help to get different opinions, as I'm new to EU citizenship and still forming my opinion. Do you have sources for some of the claims you make? Asking out of curios…

I'm curious what your objections to the EU are if you'd care to share?

Ha, I agree that the pin prompt is confusing. If you're curious, it's used as a passcode for the on-device key. You need it e.g. if you're transferring messages to a new device.

Don't ignore it. Laugh about it! It wasn't lost on me writing the comment either. Isn't it great that the very thing that brings us pain can also be the vehicle for our healing?

You can't willpower through it if it's a defense mechanism employed by your brain to hide underlying pain. Maybe it's time to try something new. Check out Gabor Maté: https://m.you…

When I went to the German site and tried to generate a data request, the generated email was in English. Is that intended? I think I'm Germany you're much more likely to get a resp…

That's so great. I wish there was something like this for Germany.

One of the most valuable things about a conversation with a mentor is getting insight into their thinking processes: how do they decompose a problem into smaller parts, what mental…

Why? Honest question.

GP didn't imply it wasn't!

One IMO realistic use-case is providing a wealth preservation mechanism for people living in a country with a corrupt government that's experiencing hyperinflation, for example Leb…

Have you heard of solarpunk? It's a movement that arose out of a desire to balance techno-optimism with recognition of the dire need for technology that is more Earth- and human-fr…

Has your wife considered that her symptoms are PPD ( https://ppdassociation.org/diagnosis ), i.e. have a psychological cause which can be unconscious? I had been suffering from uns…

Your assertion is equally as silly though. Pain is not necessary for life, but it definitely has a lot of merit as a survival mechanism and danger signal.

If you really want to learn from the mistake, it sounds like you need to ask for a personal leave for a few months and really take a bet on one of your ideas. There's not much to l…

Same here. Brings back good memories of sprinting down the UD to get to a certain mountain town...
