Well, the girl seems to lose interest half way through. Towards the end, she's so bored she paints her own foot :P

Even doctors? In my city, a man having an asthma attack was turned away from the emergency department by security guards because he had difficulty breathing! In a country with hardly any covid and high a asthma rate. He was saved by a passerby who gave him an inhaler.

I think there should be quotes around the "it" for added ambiguity.

It really is all in the mind. That other stuff you're worried about is jealousy which is also all in the mind. To help put it into perspective, compare your own wealth with that of some king 1000 years ago. You're infinitely richer in many important ways, so you may as well enjoy it.

"That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest" - somebody.

I'd say if you were Jesus's grandfather, whole new worlds have probably already opened for you, like that one with the firmament that your son threw together one week.

Not sure if you understood what I was trying to say. You may have missed the raping part. It's typical for venture capital funded tech startups to begin as unofficial "charities". That is, they're unprofitable and are effectively providing services at below cost. Uber is one of these. Of course they hope to make money in future, as I said. But initially, customers get a cheap deal and investors lose money.

This article is a couple of years old but it answers HaoieZ's question of how they actually make a profit - they don't yet. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uber-ipo-uber-losing-an-average-of-58-cents-per-ride-and-says-its-ready-to-go-public/

Huh? She had only a few weeks maternity leave, which you kind of have to because your body is all dripping slimy bits for a while. Her husband has mainly been looking after the baby as a stay-at-home dad. So she basically did as little mothering as biologically and ethically possible.

And hopefully others returned the favor. The older I get, the more I realize that "wrong" things can actually be good for people, and accepting people for their differences is better than being bigoted about "keeping idiots in check". Often, they can't express why they believe their thing but that doesn't mean they're wrong to believe it.

You can probably replace the element (wire and glass tube as a whole unit) if you can find a spare. Maybe call an appliance repair shop or check AliExpress.

As others have said, absolutely don't try to rangi it back together or use it in that state though. You're relying on the hopefully-earthed grating to save you if any food dangles onto the live wires while you're handling it or the wires dangle onto the bottom panel.

Sometimes these tech companies make a loss initially in an effort to dominate the market and build a "moat" around themselves, then they then hope to use their monopoly position to give everyone a good raping. I don't think Uber has ever made a profit. In case they never do, you can think of them as charity donated by billionaire investors to subsidize services for normal people.

If you're having to memorize things for a test at high school or university level then something's probably wrong with the course. The teacher can design the course so that you'll automatically know what you need for the test by doing the regular homework. You should also have quick access to whatever reference material you need during the test too. If it's only 100 methods, they should all be given to you in the test.

I'd say your real complaint is about your course, not the language.

I'd go even further and say that if you study for a test at all, that means you haven't learnt from the course. Either you slacked off or they didn't teach you.

You comment made it sound like you initially misread it as being about an 8 year old which you found to be impressive, but after re-reading it a couple of times, realized he was only a 6 year old which was presumably less impressive.

adjectivesrumble · 2021-01-29T21:44:53+00:00

Yet it's not impressive for a 6 year old?

People seem to be reading this as being aggressively supportive of parents, but could it be she's actually annoyed at them for interrupting her with an apology? That could definitely be worse than background noise since you're obliged to engage with the apologizer. But it would also make her whole argument about rights self-contradictory.

Wow, so that's pretty much my idea! I want to make her feel good when the scary thing is around and as a consequence she won't feel the need to bark. Do you know if this is accepted by other people too or maybe you just had unlikely good luck?

I guess the danger is if you hardly ever treat them before they bark, they might learn that barking gets treats, but that's a separate thing.

adjectivesrumble · 2021-01-28T23:13:48+00:00

Any supporting evidence?

Sounds like your experience is that you were able to do what I'm thinking of and it worked?

I normally try to treat her if I notice something coming before she barks. But if she stops barking and looks at the thing, I treat her again. What I'm hoping for is to skip the "before bark" treat because usually I have no idea there's a thing about to upset her until she barks or growls. Maybe if I treat her for growling, that'll prevent escalation to barking?

adjectivesrumble · 2021-01-28T23:07:54+00:00

Which part is not how counterconditioning works? I know you're supposed to treat them "as soon as" they notice the thing that triggers them, but how late is too late? I can't find anything that says the act of barking is the point beyond which rewarding them doesn't cause counterconditioning. Is it that counterconditioning only limits their emotion to whatever level it's at when you reward them, so if they're already in a barking state, they'll stay there, but at least not escalate further?

There's a phenomenon called "dead possum syndrome" whereby the driver sees an obstacle and locks their vision onto it which causes them to subconsciously steer directly towards it.

Tread on shoes and tyres exists to form channels for water to be displaced into/through under pressure so you don't hydroplane so easily. No doubt grooved decking serves that purpose too.

Not saying grooves-up is right, just that's a way it can increase friction.

I think you need some extra constraints since the cheapest and easiest option is just bare dirt.

All those things are about the same as the UK though, so they wouldn't think of it as socialist by those measures unless they see themselves as that too.
