What did you think of Donald Trump before he became President? | Thought he was a trashy, nouveau riche person who probably wasn’t worth nearly what he said he was. Not on my radar, but I was unfortunate enough to meet him once…pure sleaze but much more articulate than now.

What is the best way to prepare for AWS Certified Developer (Associate) in 2017? | How much practical stuff are you doing? I think at this point it may be more about practicing using the services, understanding the differences between the services (can you explain the differences between SQS and SNS), and how to use services together.

Why did Bill Gates say “If you think you’re a really good programmer… read Art of Computer Programming… You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing”? | I don’t believe Gates was a great programmer, having done BASIC (an awful language), most likely mostly done by Paul Allan. His vision mostly came from Steve Jobs. But he’s doing good things now.
Is this a good measure of a ‘genius’ programmer? Maybe, maybe not.
For a start, the entire Art of Computer Programming is not a complete work. Several volumes are still waiting to be published. So, really no one has read the whole thing. But even getting through Volume I: Fundamental Algorithms is no mean feat.
I first attempted Fundamental Algorithms as a student. I can’t remember getting too far. I did read all of Dijkstra’s Discipling of Programming, which at the time was somewhat beyond me, but others just put it down and hated it. I reread this about five years ago, and understood a lot more. I’ve also read Structured Programming by Dahl, Dijkstra, and Hoare.
Most computing books I tend not to read cover to cover.
I have four book marks in Fundamental Algorithms. The first is at p 92–3, a Dr Who catalogue dated 2015, which I think represents my last attempt at thorough read. The next is a punch card reading “CALL LINETO(55,8,1,0)”, I think a graphics program I did as a student. This is on p 132 in the description of MIX. The next marks Table 1, summary of the operation of MIX instructions. Then a blank punch card at p467. I think I was trying some of the exercises.
I never seem to get past MIX. I have seen defences of Knuth's invention of an assembler language for expressing his algorithms. I still don’t understand why he did this, and would say MIX (or updated MMIX) kills off most readers. So his writing is mired in obscurity.
My copy of Sorting and Searching seems mostly untouched. I’ve just glanced through it occasionally, putting it aside until after I have got through Fundamentals, which seems the key to interpreting the rest.
Of course an algorithm is an implementation of a specification, so perhaps Knuth wanted to express how to compute things, rather than just give the specification.
Since I know Knuth wrote one of the first ALGOL compilers as a student intern at Burroughs in three months ([LINKED_TEXT: http://www.ianjoyner.name/Files/Waychoff.pdf] [URL: http://www.ianjoyner.name/Files/Waychoff.pdf]), I don’t know why he didn’t use such an algorithmic language. But he did use the word ‘computer’, not computing or computational. This seems a shame, because really programming should be to express problem solutions, not how they are mapped to any particular ‘computer’.
Knuth also suggested the define to Burroughs which was adopted in their version of ALGOL. This was done right with the # terminating the define (although you had to make sure you didn’t miss the #). It was a controversial extension at Burroughs, but C took it and botched it.
Knuth also defended the use of goto. This has rather been misunderstood, because what he shows is that one can write structured programs with goto. But this is a subset of all programs and goto can be used to create horrible messes of rat’s nest code.
Perhaps when Knuth planned The Art, he envisaged all computing people and programmers would be trained to an excellent standard. But really anyone can enjoy programming, no matter what their level of expertise. Not many will be at the level of being able to read The Art, maybe only top-level researchers.

What is the most misunderstood picture that has become famous (or infamous)? | How about this one? Tale as old as time. Passing judgement without having a damn clue about what really happened. Victim shaming? How disgusting the liberal party has become. Liberals used to be educated, caring, thoughtful people. Now they are as bad as the hate they claim to fight. They have become perpetrators. Very sad…. Social media in the wrong hands is the devil. Social media in the right hands can be a saving grace.
Watch the whole video. Nathan Phillips is a mentally disturbed liar. Liberal hotheads ran with it…. Center left people. Let’s have some sense. Before you call to crucify someone make damned well sure you are right then put yourself on that cross.

How do you justify the Red Wedding as a Roose Bolton fan? | “Won every battle, while losing the Freys, the Karstarks, Winterfell, and the north. A pity the wolf is so young. Boys of sixteen always believe they are immortal and invincible. An older man would bend the knee, I’d think. After a war there is always a peace, and with peace there are pardons …
“Explain to me why it is more noble to kill ten thousand men in battle than a dozen at dinner.”
First of all, I’m not a RB fan. He’s fun, but he is one of the clearly evil characters in this series. But he’s right!
Robb Stark has admitted that he would not bend the knee to the Lannisters, and after the Blackwater he couldn’t have won. Well, he could’ve but Roose couldn’t know that Tywin was about to die.
So, Roose took the way to bring peace that also furthers his house. Brutal, efficient, and practical

What is the suggested tilt angle of a photovoltaic solar panel? | As has been mentioned, the panels need to point directly at the sun, so some form of tracking is the best bet. This can be actively tracked, sensing the sun, or just mechanical systems that move at the same rate, or can even be manually moved every now and then, although this is better for the vertical, seasonal tracking than the daily horizontal.
For a fixed system the angle is decided based on the latitude (or shadow of a stick), but if the array is entirely fixed, you need to consider that in the winter you are getting much less sun anyway, so you may want to have a greater angle (i.e.) point more toward the lower winter sun than the higher summer sun. Personally I would suggest, if you aren’t going fully tracked, that you should consider an adjustable frame with at least two vertical angles to get more from the winter sun whilst not wasting the summer glut. Something to base your Equinox celebrations around :-)

If a job is still being advertised 4 months after you were rejected, and you think you are qualified for it, would you reapply? | Allow me to tell a true story. Tom Brady was the 199th player chosen in the NFL That means 198 players were chosen ahead of him. Gosh, am I good at math. Many people, over many years, have intimated that every team in the NFL were foolish through 5 rounds of selection for passing him over. But at least one person never criticized any of them. You can easily guess who that is. You are correct if you guessed Tom Brady. Another true story. I once drove over the road for a large carrier and was fired for a fairy flimsy violation. A short time later, I would have a conversation with the local teamster business agent on a matter unrelated to my firing. He would suggest that the issue I had should be easily resolved between myself and the company. I would tell him that I had been fired by the company and there is much tension with the company. He would ask me what I was fired for. I would tell him. He would say “that is a load of crap. If you want, I can have you back on the job within 24 hours”. I would say “ I appreciate the offer but I would not accept reinstatement. They have 1200 operators and central operations know little about any of them. They have little to no awareness that I was one of the top 10 producers out of their 1200 operators. I will simply take my productivity to another company and my new employer will gain what Ryder Truck Lines has lost”. Unhomogenized milk has to be shaken frequently to keep the cream from rising. 95 plus percent of all humans need a homogenized existence to find financial security. Many, many of them falsely believe the are special.

English is an almost grammar-less language. — Richard Grant White. What do you make of this statement? | Beats me! NO language is grammar-less. What goes on with animals even, is not without some ‘grammar’…things in the right order, right tone.
What was the rest of that comment? ‘Almost’ as opposed to what? Indo-European languages that retain case endings? German, Latin? Features of language will be more or less pronounced, according to the language—tones in Chinese, syntax in English, say. Without ‘grammar’ of some sort, I don’t think you can HAVE language. How would you communicate if ‘anything goes’?
Even that bogus speaking in tongues follows a kind of grammar, albeit very individual. Or so I’ve read. Reading annotate be from rankle oranges into mucilage February…needs work, don’t it? Write me back and I’ll tell you what it means.

What is forge welding? | Forge-welding is one of the most ancient joining technique.

What do you think of the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemning the U.S. Capitol riot "incited" by Trump? | I don’t know, let’s ask all the racists incited by the picture of the Canadian Prime Minister in blackface.
For real though, Trump did not “incite” the “riot” like people are trying to claim. Seriously, try and cite where Trump told people to go around and cause trouble, you know… like how Democrat politicians and a number of media sites did in 2017 that led to a riot in DC 4 years ago at Trump’s inauguration. The “riot” that just happened had 50 people arrested, in the “protest” 4 years ago there were well over 200 people arrested.
And even if you completely discount the difference between them because “Orange man bad!”, compare that “protest” to an actual inaugural protest like the one in 2005 against Bush. No one went around burning cars or the American flag, no one was calling to go after “enablers”… and even then 70 people were arrested.
So you are seriously trying to tell me there was a full blown right-wing riot in one of the leftest leaning cities in the US… and less people were arrested than 2 separate protests against right wing politicians. Yeah that doesn’t pass the smell test.

Why do some people like to stay in an abusive relationship? | People stay in unhealthy or abusive relationships for a variety of reasons. Some may be financially dependent on their partner, have low self-esteem, feel ashamed or embarrassed, or fear the consequences of leaving. They may also believe that their partner will change or that the relationship can still be salvaged. Additionally, they may be isolated from friends and family, or may have been manipulated into believing that the abuse is their fault.

Any recommendations for time management software (time tracking, estimates, invoices, purchase orders) for a creative agency? | The though process and working styles of people working in a creative agency are different when compared to other corporate jobs. Thus most of the software out there fail to meet the needs of these agencies. The best solution will be to develop a customized software as per the requirements of the agency. The best solution to build such apps would be using a no code platform as you would not require any coding knowledge. You can simply use the UI builder with drag and drop functionality to design the front end of the software and define rules for the functionalities.
There are many no code platforms out there like Bubble, Airtable, Zoho, Mendix, etc, but for the kind of software you are aiming to build I would suggest you try [LINKED_TEXT: DronaHQ No Code App Platform] [URL: https://www.dronahq.com/procurement-apps/?utm_campaign=Procurement-Solution%2FApp&utm_medium=landing-page&utm_source=quora]. It is an all-in-one solution to control and automate entire workflows, from creating POs to estimating and tracking time. You can build apps that can work most of the platforms like IOS, Android and Desktop even when you are offline.

What would you do if one of your bridesmaids didn't like the dress you have chosen for her? | Firstly, I would calm her down.

Who knows ?

How can I get my left (weaker) hand to play chords while doing a slow arpeggio on the right (dominant) hand like this piano tutorial https://youtu.be/J68H7OWKEoQ (I find playing with my left hand outside of bass notes or scales too hard)? | Try playing the left hand chords alone at first, concentrating on synchronising the notes. Next, try playing the left hand as a chord with the First note (G) of the right hand group G B C (I only played the beginning, but the first note is G) before the G moves to A.
When the left hand is arpeggiated it becomes a matter of synchronising each note with the right hand. As with all things in life, this will come initially through slow practice and concentration but when ready increasing the speed incrementally.

Is it safe to apply aloe vera gel on the face overnight? | Aloe vera gel is a natural and safe ingredient that is commonly used in skincare products for its soothing and moisturizing properties. When used properly, it can be applied on the face overnight to help hydrate and soothe the skin. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure safe and effective use:
Use pure aloe vera gel: Make sure you are using pure aloe vera gel and not a product that contains additives or other ingredients that could irritate your skin.Patch test first: Before applying aloe vera gel on your face overnight, it is recommended to do a patch test first to check for any adverse reactions. Apply a small amount of the gel on your inner arm and wait for 24 hours to see if there are any signs of irritation or allergy.Don't apply too much: A little goes a long way with aloe vera gel. Applying too much can cause the gel to not absorb properly and feel sticky on the skin.Use it in combination with a moisturizer: While aloe vera gel can provide hydration to the skin, it is not a substitute for a moisturizer. For best results, apply aloe vera gel on the face first and follow up with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration.
Overall, applying aloe vera gel on the face overnight can be safe and beneficial for the skin, but it's always best to patch test and use the product in moderation. If you experience any discomfort or irritation, discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.

What is Kendall Jenner's greatest achievement? | Getting an enormous amount of cash for fiddling around.
Kendall Jenner Net Worth History:
2011 – $500 thousand2012 – $1 million2013 – $5 million2014 – $10 million2015 – $13 million2016 – $18 million2017 – $23 million2018 – $31 million2019 – $40 million
Kendall Jenner Real Estate Portfolio: In 2014, Kendall made her first real estate acquisition when she bought a condo in Westwood, California for $1.3 million. She tried to sell that condo in June 2017 for $1.6 million but eventually had to lower the price to $1.5 million to find a buyer. In 2017, Kendall sold her Hollywood Hills home for $6.85 million. She gained around $350,000 from the sale after buying in 2016 from actors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Jimmy Kimmel lived directly across the street. Blunt and Krasinski bought the house in 2009 for $1.86 million. In October 2017, Kendall picked up a five-bedroom home in Beverly Hills for $8.55 million. A big reason she sold the Hollywood Hills home was due to the fact that it was semi-exposed and she had a number of 911 stalker incidents at the property. The new Beverly Hills home is in the much more secure gated community of Mulholland Estates. Though it should be noted that Paris Hilton's Mulholland home was burglarized FIVE TIMES. Today her next door neighbor is Christina Aguilera.

What is absolutely the best Indian restaurant in the world, and why? | When any Indian or other people think about Indian food, then they might be thinking why Indian food is like million mutinies? No other nation in the world uses such a wide range of spices in its cuisine to make it mouth-watering. And no doubt, these flavourful spices make Indian food distinctive from others in terms of flavour and taste.
But there is another point which will be the limelight; it is that making Indian food is a bit of a hurdle for many of us who don’t like cooking. So, if you have a craving for Indian food while sitting in Perth, then [LINKED_TEXT: Delhi6] [URL: https://www.realmediahub.com/delhi6sweets-authentic-indian-restaurant-in-perth/] is the place for you. It is a reputed name that offers both Chinese and Indian food in Canning Vale to satisfy your taste buds.

What kind of food do people from the UK eat that is considered an acquired taste to the rest of the world? | The people who criticise the Brits for bland food have just stepped out of a time machine. The British appetite for curry is immense: Indian, yes, but also Burmese and Thai. Most visitors think that they can handle whatever the locals order, which is often the cause of much hilarity when they start ordering giant beers to try to wash away the spices (they ought to be using milk, eyran, yoghurt etc: Capsicain binds to fats, not water)
I do wonder about Stilton. For me there is no substitute: Not even the likes of Boursin or Roquefort can compare. Whether the top-flight British cheeses are an acquired taste, or just a source of perpetual, instant wonder, I dunno. Much less ambiguous status attaches to Mushy Peas: These are an acquired taste even to some brits, never mind the visitors.

The Mahabharata | Mahabharata is a complex piece of art. In Mahabharata, the warriors are multifaceted. Their goals keep changing every day. Someday everyone is trying to capture Yudhishtira. While on the other days, they are trying to protect Jayadratha etc. Hence, there is a lot of chaos added in the epic. I will probably rank them in following order.
10. Bheema - Bheema is only on the list who isn’t Maharathi. He is physically most powerful of this list. Bheema did try to stop Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Ashwathama from time to time. Even though he has been defeated many times, he was never killed. It is said that any army which had Arjuna or Bheema will never be defeated. Bheema has been protector of Yudhisthira in the entire war. He has killed many Kaurava sons including Duryodhana and Dushasana. He has stopped Drona from capturing Yudhisthira.
9. Abhimanyu - Abhimanyu is worthy warrior. He battled Bhishma on the very first day and almost stalemated him. He has constantly defeated Duryodhana and rest of the members of Kaurava army save Bhishma, Karna and Drona. When Arjuna is taken away from the army center, Drona had created Chakravyuha which would have surely captured Yudhisthira and ended the war. Abhimanyu broke all 7 layers of the Chakravyuha killing thousands of Rathis and Atirathis. A chakravyuha is very complex battle formation to break. He was finally surrounded by Drona, Karna, Ashwathama, Kripacharya, Duryodhana, Dushasana and Shalya (Dushasana’s son). Getting surrounded by multiple warriors is a routine occurrence during Drona parva. He was killed because he was alone.
8. Bhagadatta - He was repeatedly occurring character during the war. He killed more than 1 Akshauhini Pandava army. He did fight Arjuna multiple times. During their battle, he used Vaishnavastra on Arjuna which Lord Krishna countered. Arjuna didn’t know the counter for it so he was saved by Krishna. He was killed afterwards by Arjuna.
7. Satyaki - This Yadava warrior was student of Krishna and Drona. In the Kaurava army, he is probably the second most feared warrior after Arjuna. He has constantly taken on heavyweights of Kaurava army (Bhishma, Karna, Drona, Ashwathama).
6. Ashwathama - He is son of Drona. During the 18 days of the battle, he killed more than 1 Akshauhini army of Pandavas. He was routinely battling with Arjuna, Satyaki and Bheema (Panadava heavyweights). He is immortal. When Drona is killed unfairly, he becomes very angry and defeats almost all Pandava warriors except Arjuna. He uses Narayanastra and creates havoc in Pandava army.
5. Ghatotkacha (night time) - Ghatotkacha was present since day 1 in the battle. But during the daytime, he was not as feared as the Maharathis. During the night battle, being Asura, he could use all the illusions. He created Havoc on the 14th day during the night battle. Arjuna was battling with Drona. The entire Kaurava army was getting routed by Ghatotkacha. He faced Karna who was more than his match until Ghatotkacha started using his illusions. He killed Karna’s horses and Sarathi. Karna started becoming helpless and had to use Vasavi Shakti to kill him. Vasavi Shakti is once only usable Astra so Ghatotkacha did big favor to Arjuna by attacking Karna.
4. Drona - Now we are in unreal realm. All these warriors are almost unbeatable. It used to be said that Drona is unbeatable if he had even 1 weapon with him. He was very experienced Army General who used his army strategically. He has fought with Maharathis like Arjuna, Satyaki, Virata and other warriors like Bheema every day. He routinely defeated Dhrishtadyumna who had to run away every time. Although, he is ranked below the other three for two reasons. First is under him, all the rules of battle were broken. Multiple warriors started fighting a single warrior. The battles started going into the night. Astras like Brahmastra become frequently used in the battle. All these escalations finally lead to the killing of Abhimanyu under his leadership. Second reason is he was unable to capture Yudhisthira even in the absence of Arjuna. And when Arjuna was trying to kill Jayadratha, Drona didn’t follow him saying Arjuna’s speed is too much for his old body.
3. Karna - He was most feared warrior from Kaurava army simply because he had vowed to kill Arjuna. Bhishma was unbeatable but he fought softly vs Pandavas. His results on the battlefield are mixture of good and bad results. He wasn’t allowed to enter the war until 11th day. From the day he had entered, he routinely fought vs Satyaki, Bheema, and Arjuna. He used to take on many warriors together, at one time taking on all the above mentioned Pandava warriors single handedly. He had stalemated Arjuna on some occasions while Arjuna was more focused on Drona or Jayadratha other times. He defeated Bhima, and other Pandavas but let them go. On 14th day during battle vs Ghatotkacha, he was really into his element. He was countering many illusions created by Ghatotkacha and holding his own while entire Kaurava army was routed. He killed Ghatotkacha in the end. He also entered day 17 with Vijaya bow for the first time. That day the battle became so fierce that even Arjuna fainted for a brief moment. Ultimately Karna was killed when he was trying to remove wheel of his chariot from the ground. He had participated in Duryodhana’s plans and had sinned which resulted in him getting multiple curses. Despite those curses, he held his own during Kurukshetra war vs Arjuna.
2. Bhishma - He was the grandfather of Pandavas and Kauravas. Being the eldest Kuru, he fought softly vs Pandavas. He routinely defeated great warriors like Satyaki, Abhimanyu, Bheema and all. He was invincible in the battle. Under him, the Kurukshetra war casualties reached 100 million. He was never beaten in the whole 10 days and always protected his army. He might be great warrior but his indecisiveness was the reason Kauravas could neither win nor lose the battle. His fame came when on day 3, Lord Krishna broke his vow to attack him.
1, Arjuna - what else can be said about this warrior? He is the best among the best. He is equal to Karna in fierceness. He is equal to Bhishma in invincibility. He is equal to Drona in war strategies. He is one man army. He single handedly routed Pandava army on multiple occasions. Where Arjuna’s chariot went, destruction followed. He was feared like lord Mahadeva himself. Arjuna battled vs all heavyweights of Kauravas including Bhishma, Drona, Karna, Ashwathama, Bhagadatta, and others. He killed Jayadratha in a single day of epicness, running from one end of the Kaurava army to other end battling vs all the warriors and ultimately killing Jayadratha. An entire army of Kauravas was not able to save Jayadratha when Arjuna was angry. Ashwathama and other Maharathis ran and hid from the fear of Arjuna. He was probably the most compassionate warrior from this list. He didn’t want to kill Drona because he was the teacher. He didn’t want to hurt Ashwathama because he was son of Drona. He didn’t want to wound Bhishma because he was the grandfather. Krishna had to encourage him to fight vs his family members.
The kauravas had very good number of maharathis but one by one they started dying. When Bhishma was wounded, they still had Karna entering the battle. When Drona was killed, all hopes were on Karna. But after the death of Karna, they were morally defeated.While Pandavas had lost Abhimanyu, Ghatotkacha, Panchala and Virata kings. But they always had Arjuna. Arjuna is bigger than an entire army so Pandavas were never in doubt about who will win.

What is the purpose of a university education? Is it primarily to learn or to acquire credentials for a future job? | It depends on many, many things. It also depends on the University, even the country you are talking about.
Studied in Europe (Greece, UK), Civil Engineering w/ specialisation in Transportation Egineering and did my MSc in Computer Science.
First part the 5 year Engineering course. Had a lot of fun, drank as much as I could drink, been with as many girls as I could and did discover myself. Not because of the university but because I had free time and (almost) unlimited funding from my parents (Universities are free in Greece and I managed to get accepted to my home town’s University)
I also learned to learn. Not just to memorise, not just to apply pre-defined solutions to existing problems. I learned how to look for solutions and think out of the box. How to turn the circle into a square (every engineer KNOWS that).
For my MSc I moved to Manchester to go to UMIST (now University of Manchester). I had been programming since my early teens (that’s the 80s mind you) so I just did a course on computing to get the right credentials because I always knew that I was never going to build a house but I was going to be involved with computers/technology.
Even though the course was quite hard for many of my classmates I found out that my basic high-school education was far more theoritically advanced than other countries so I had an advantage. I already knew programming, another advantage. So more fun time for me. Living abroad does tech you things about differnt people and different attitudes.
But besides character traits and credentials I got something else. Something that I didn’t grasp at the time: I learned structured thought and got an academic background/foundation in computer science.
Programming is programming right? No, it’s not. At least it wasn’t so in the old days before the advent of Internet and of information at your fingertips. When I came back I went over some previous programming work I did and didn’t believe what I was reading. “Did I write this piece of garbage? No way!”. But I had only just a year or two ago! I immediately discovered that even on a course than I found easy and completed just for the credentials, I did learn something that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise.
So is it all worth it, now in the information age? Is it worth it if you have to get into 6 digit debt?
I can’t answer that. It was worth it for me. Primarily to learn how to learn.

What do you think about the new Marvel comics characters Safespace, Snowflake, Trailblazer, B Negative and Screentime from “The New Warriors?” | I think the concept of a new superhero team is fine, DC and Marvel do it all the time. I think the naming of the characters is stupid and possibly an attempt to troll Comicsgaters, but NOBODY likes the names. That's like calling a superhero Aryan Wonder, Safespace and Snowflake are controversial for the sake of it.

How would you handle a situation in business where an employee tells you they refuse to meet individually with a female or attend a business lunch with a female, because morally a married man should not meet 1 on 1 with a woman? | Immediate termination for breach of contract, of course.
Then, I am going to confirm with HR and my own notes that he 1) was asked about his ability to perform the job, and 2) did not mention his dumb-ass Goatherder Patriarchy beliefs when he offered his reservations.
And then I am going to sue the dishonest shit-stain for everything we've spent on him, everything we are going to spend on replacing him, and all operating losses from leaving the role unfulfilled, on the basis of him knowingly contracting with intent to breach.

Can severe, prolonged stress levels affect the capacity to feel one's own emotions? | Hi
I am no expert, but only through going through it ( am still working through it) that I can say extreme stress makes things feel more disconnected and a type of “things are not real” although you know they are, it's a type of numbing to try protect yourself. Sorry if this is what you are experiencing, because it's not a nice place to be and also that feeling it gives life is very hard to try explain in words to people.
|
What is the best one liner you have written? | I have told people that we will all die if we live long enough. What surprises me is that they acknowledge this as something meaningful when it is actually nonsense. What happens if we don't live long enough? It means we died.

Does participation in theatre arts have any impact on academic performance? | At my high school, you could look at the names of the kids on the honor roll for having the best grades and the cast of the school play and the two lists would be almost exactly the same.
Since my daughter loves performing on stage, but has a less-than-wonderful report card (5th Grade), I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately.
Kids who are drawn to theatre have unusually high levels of empathy, which is why you don’t find a lot of bullies in school shows. They work extremely hard. If they apply one tenth of the energy they employ to getting their performances just right, they’ll do very well in other classes.
Doing theatre teaches a lot of things:
Teamwork. In most businesses, employees are part of a huge ant farm of operations, working together to create profits for the company. They rely on each other, communicate with each other, and there’s usually some hierarchy, or, at the very least, different team members with different duties. In a school play, which is never thought of as a practical course in how businesses operate, everyone relies on others, respects complex hierarchies, performs different proscribed functions, and takes pride in the ultimate team accomplishment.
Interpretation. A play is dramatic literature. Every actor needs to understand the lines, and what’s being said to them (if the character understands). There are subtle nuances, and, often, allusions. In life, we often have to read with a level of comprehension that goes beyond the surface. This might be a contract, instructions, rules or e-mails. There’s going to be more to these documents than you can get from a glance. You have to read deeper, and do the sort of investigation of text that every actor must do.
History and sociology. Ask me what it was like for a black family to be moving in to a previously all-white neighborhood in 1959. Would I know anything about that? That’s before I was born and I’m white. And yet I read A Raisin in the Sun, studied it in school. As a result, I know a little bit about the subject, things I wouldn’t know if I hadn’t studied theatre as a teen. And that’s just one example. You learn much about the world, how different people feel, various things that have happened in the past, by participating in as many plays as you can.
Speaking. It’s a lot of people’s worst fear when they’re called upon to make a presentation in front of a crowd of some size. But this happens a lot in business, academia and the law. For those with no experience doing theatre, it’s hard. You have to seem natural, enunciate, use your voice, and body language is an essential ingredient. Now I’m just remembering the time my wife had to address the city council to urge them to install a speed bump on the street where a child had been hit by a car. What profession she’s in didn’t matter. Convincing the council did, and she drew on her theatre training.
Improvisation. Not every theatre program utilizes improvisation. Just the good ones. Learn the simple steps to thinking on your feet and you’ll have a skill that’s very valuable in all sorts of professions. It’s essential to get out of your head and to be a good communicator. Improv, when you watch it, looks very difficult. The experience of becoming a good improvisor involves discovering it’s not hard at all. In so many life situations - like being pulled over by a traffic cop - your improv background will serve you well.
Creative thinking. Brains work differently when you’re working on plays and this outside-the-box cogitation is good exercise. Imagine a nerd, diligently coding all day. When it’s time to do something else, he’ll find is mind is less adaptable to other situations, as if stuck in coding mode. What one needs for life is a flexible brain, and the “break” one gets from stage time is likely to help in all subjects.

What should I eat before lifting weights? | Depending on some of the issues with your own health history you may not need to eat anything. In fact I have clients that won't eat several hours before they work out. And there will be those that like to eat an hour before they train and they do just fine. That being said is for the window of when to eat will move on to the what to eat. I would to get something light and easy to digest but with substance. You can easily be a couple of hard boiled eggs. Maybe toss in some dried fruit or just a banana. And are you having a pre-workout? I personally because of how I eat and I know that I need to get my calories in during the day I will nibble on possibly a Pop-Tart and I'll also sip on a protein drink throughout my training and after. There really is a lot of flexibility in what to do which is great because you have freedom and you're still going to get it right.

Why is my dog making me sick? Every few weeks I am experiencing viral/norovirus symptoms after being in contact with my dog, my partner is also having the symptoms such as stomach cramps, sickness, migraine and they last for 7-10 days at a time | Have you taken your dog to the veterinarian's office for a check-up? I doubt it's your dog that causing your symptoms. Have you reported these symptoms to your doctor? The doctor can run some lab tests and get stool samples for analysis. Think about what you did prior to getting sick. Do you and your boyfriend eat the same things, go to the same restaurants? This all needs to be throughally checked out.

What are the best street foods in India? | [LINKED_TEXT: India's street food] [URL: https://thesamosashop.ca/indian-food-favourites-crispy-vegetable-pakoras/] is arguably the best in the world. You can fall in love with the mouthwatering cuisine. I am a huge fan of street food and have sampled cuisine from all around India.
Gol Gappe- is one of my favourite street meals. It's also known as Gol gappa or pani puri in other parts of the world, but in Kolkata, it's known as Puchka. It is the best variant of the meal available in the country, stuffed with seasoned potatoes and a highly sour and spicy pani (water).
** 2. Jhal Muri- **another delicacy from Kolkata's alleys. It's basically puffed rice with a variety of spices, chutneys (a side dish - that's the best English equivalent I can come up with), and a few vegetables.
**3.Masala Puri** is a street meal that is popular in the south but not so much in the north. It's just crumpled pani puri puris with a few finely chopped vegetables, sev, and corn flakes served in a hot gravy. It may not seem appetising, but believe me when I say it is.
(4) Dabeli- Gujarat and Maharashtra are well-known for it. It may resemble Vada Paw in appearance, but it tastes nothing like it. It's the ideal balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavours.
**5. Kanji Vada** - "Kanji Vada" means "Kanji Vada" It's also a less well-known type of street cuisine. It's a vada cooked with moong dal that's drenched in a spicy watery sauce. It hails from Rajasthan and is utterly delectable.
**6. Chilla**-It resembles a Dosa cousin but is composed of besan rather than rice. It's lightly fried and served with two chutneys (pudina chutney and tomato chilli chutney ). It's delicious when served with the chutneys.
**7. Kathi Roll or Just Roll -
It's essentially a maida-based paratha.
It is then filled with a variety of contents such as paneer, egg, kabab, chicken, and so on. It's delicious and a real delight for the taste buds.

Which is the best car brand in the world? | Oldsmobile F-88 Throughout the ’50s, General Motors hosted auto shows that displayed fancy prototypes and concept cars. But once out of the spotlight, the vehicles were supposed to be destroyed. The Oldsmobile F-88, designed in 1952 and 1953, was one of those dream cars that wasn’t destroyed and is today considered one of the greatest expressions of automotive design to ever come from North America. Only two were manufactured, with one of those now on display at the Gateway Auto Museum. Purchased for $3.24 million, the two-seat roadster with a fiberglass body is the collection’s crown jewel and possibly the world’s rarest automobile. BMC Mini Proof that necessity is the mother of invention, the Mini was created by the British Motor Company in a period of drastic gas rationing in Great Britain in the late ’50s and early ’60s. Despite being just 10 feet long to achieve better gas mileage, the earliest Mini comfortably sat four people thanks to an engine that was mounted transversely, instead of front to back, allowing for more interior room. Since then, the Mini has been the inspiration behind later generations of small and smart cars. Ford Mustang In the first six months of production in 1964, the Mustang was the fastest-selling car in history. It has since become an icon of style and performance among American automobiles, escorting in the “pony car” class of affordable sporty coupes with long hoods and short rear decks. Competitors raced to release their own versions, such as the Chevy Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird, and the Dodge Challenger. In 1964 alone, the Mustang was the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 and won both first and second in class at the Tour de France international rally. The museum is home to a 1967 Mustang Shelby GT 500 Fastback, designed by the legendary car constructor and race car driver Carroll Shelby.

How can you stop a car if someone cuts the brakes? | The easy answer to this question is first DO NOT panic. That is easy to say but harder to do. However you have to to remain in control.
Everything depends on you distance to another obstacle car, bridge, wall. If you find yourself in this position the first thing to do is apply the parking brake (emergency brake). If it is foot activated slowly and steadily apply pressure until the car stops or the pedal is on the floor. If it is hand operated again slowly pull up on the handle. This is a separate mechanical system and does not require fluid pressure to work. DO NOT stomp or yank on the “E” brake at high speed it will cause the rear wheels tp lock up and that can cause all types of reactions. If after doing this and the car is still moving (hopefully much slower) turn the ignition off and steer clear.
The second attempt you can make is to down shift the transmission. It doesn’t matter if it is automatic or stick shift. Reach over and select each gear range at a time. Once you have selected the final gear range then slowly apply the emergency brake until you have stopped.
Lastly one that everyone forgets about is simply turning off the ignition. Again automatic or stick shift if you shut the engine off the car will slow dramatically on its own. The major disadvantage is you will loose power assist to the steering but you will still be able to steer with muscle power.
Pumping the brake pedal once you have lost fluid will do nothing. It will not allow air pressure to stop you it will not cause any further loose of braking.
I sincerely hope you never find yourself in this situation, but maybe something I have explained will help.

What is issuing authority in a passport? What should I write in it? | When you apply for the visa this question is common regarding providing details about your passport issuing authority and place.
To find the issuing authority open your passport and very first page or inner side of the passport cover you will find the Seal of Government of your country and beside that seal you can see a stamp of signature and a stamp of the officer name, who is issuing you the passport with his designation as Passport Officer and the city/taluka of Passport office. So, in simple words the passport issuing authority is that Passport Officer.
In my passport, the name of passport officer is T.D. Sharma from Regional Passport Office, Thane, and the passport issued in Thane, Maharashtra, India, which is written in the stamp.
2. Now when you fill online/offline Visa application form, you need to enter details as shown below
3. While applying for Schengen Visa I filled the form as shown in above screenshot and contents of my VISA application form are shown below
This is enough as per my experience, since I have written the same when I applied for Schengen Visa in German Embassy. My VISA was approved and I have successfully completed my Eurotrip.

What's the best thing I can do as a 15 year old? | Well, you could give the standard ‘safe’ study hard, work hard, save, be responsible stuff but at 60 and a bit or two and having given up trying to fit in and be ‘normal’ a while back, I won’t.
I would be ‘that uncle’ who nobody talks about and doesn’t get invited around any more (and that’s apart from the Crossdresser thing).
Education..
Unless the 14 yo has a definite career goal then a lot of conventional education is ticking boxes.
You must be literate and numerate, develop a good handwriting style, a skill I sadly do not possess. Improve your vocabulary, your speech, have elocution lessons if necessary, conversation is enjoyable when you can do so at any level. You will be invited more often to parties if you are a good conversationalist, a witty raconteur, have a wide breadth of knowledge. Having the ability and the confidence to speak intelligently with anyone will open more doors than an A in pottery, unless of course you want to pursue pottery as a passion. Don’t look for a job, look for a passion.
Embrace the arts… you can draw, paint, appreciate a painting or sculpture every day. Learn to play a musical instrument, if you can’t cope with the theory then plonk or strum away, recognisable sounds eventually materialise. Being able to hammer out a song will get you laid, reciting Pi to two hundred places … unlikely. In 45 years, apart from one year doing statistics at university, I have never used a quadratic equation. Having said that an understanding of algebra is good for developing the mind just like Latin or Ancient Greek.
Literature should play a huge part of your life especially the classics; Greek and a Roman mythology, chuck in a bit of Egyptian and bits from other cultures, a bit of philosophy… all makes for endless entertaining, fascinating conversations.
Explore the world but do not forget your homeland.
Sex.
I always wanted two daughters (never happened) part of me would want that they didn’t have a boyfriend until they got married but for their sakes I would hope that they had a very full, active and adventurous sex life. I would counsel them to do their ‘wild’ stuff outside their circle of friends, having a threesome with two boys, two girls, a boy and a girl is best done with strangers not with friends and should be kept private and revealed to nobody. Keep it safe!!!
Marriage.
I loved being married but I would advise my daughters don’t, for many women having a husband is just like having a grown up child. For many men it’s ‘what the hell have I done wrong now?’ I honestly believe that if you get married or have a committed partnership then don’t live in the same house, most people will drive each other mad! Have your own places, stay overnight and at weekends on a whim at each other’s but the sheer bliss of closing that door and being in your own space…
Don’t have children unless you can afford the time and the money to give them a good, safe, healthy and character developing environment. Too many have children and are then dependent on benefits to raise their children and lack the skills to do so in a nurturing and developing way. I know I’m a horrible person, what is the point of having children when they are going to be raised in an environment where they are at heightened risk from, crime, drugs, poverty and limited prospects only for themselves to have children in the same circumstances.
Health and fitness.
Do not squander this! Be active, keep active, seek challenges. It is wrong that at my age I am fitter than most people who are half my age. Running, cycling, swimming, group classes like Zumba etc is great for fitness, floods you with endorphins and a fantastic aid to mental health.
Money/possessions.
Don’t be obsessed by it. When you sit back and think about it we waste so much; money and possessions cause so much unhappiness. You get something.. yayy… it becomes outdated or breaks … sigh… so you buy the new model … yayy… etc. Don’t become a consumer become an individual. Let the others be consumers, just like the Matrix they will be content.
By developing as an individual you don’t need all the crap that we are told we need to be happy and measure our success by. You don’t need 200 TV channels when you can play an instrument, have a collection of books you can read and reread, have a good circle of friends you can have good conversations with.
Our life cycle is truly bonkers; we obsess about studying to get a job that saps our energy and life away over time to leave an empty husk of a person so that when we retire we don’t know what to do with our remaining time. When you get that final handshake and walk out of the office for the last time on the Friday your replacement is getting excited at the prospect of starting their new job on Monday. We were not meant to live just so we can work to pay bills then die. We start off in a bed sit, get a two bed apartment or house, get a three or four bed house then work all the hours god sends to pay for it and the 2.4 children, put them through school and university, they go off start their cycle so move down from a four bed house to a two then to a two bed apartment then a bed sit, sorry luxury retirement suite, then die. Somewhere in there many people forget to live. Don’t let that happen to you.

If a job is still being advertised 4 months after you were rejected, and you think you are qualified for it, would you reapply? | i did that. i emailed the company that i had seen them post the same ad 3 times in the past year, had applied each time, received no response, and was curious WHY they were obviously picking candidates that didn’t fit. i also addressed the owner by name, having figured out what company it was, looking up some public records, etc [part of my regular work involves that kind of sleuthing. anonymous ads are anything but if you are skilled.]
He called me in, we spent 2 hours discussing his business, made me a generous offer. i turned him down, it did not fit with my long-term plans. i gave him some advice as to what he should look for, how to approach the person, and what else he needed to do to get the company on track.
So, yes, reapply. Change up your resume a bit, your cover letter, or do what i did: find out what’s really going down.

How can I get a bill with an IMEI number? | I am guessing you have someone’s IMEI number other than yours. You are hoping you can fetch their bill using this magic number.
It isn’t so magic. You can get a phone bill if you are authorized to see it. If not, you can’t. I don’t care what sort of number you have, the only one that counts is the phone number. If you are on the account, fine. Otherwise, no.
Knowing an IMEI number is pointless and stupid. It does not convey any magical powers.

How can I improve my Quora writing skills? | How to learn English easily – 9 effective ways
Learning a new language can be a challenge, and English, in particular, is full of complexities.
If you’re wondering how to learn english faster and more completely, look no further!
Here are 9 expert tips that will help you find the best way to learn English
1. Look for patterns.
This is the most important tip for English learners.
Language can’t be defined neatly into rules, and rules are often bent or broken.
So the best thing to do is to look for patterns and spot things that are generally true for English.
Looking for patterns will help you pick up details like “verbs in the past usually have -ed at the end”.
Also, you’ll notice sets of words that we often use together. For example:
“We’d love to hear from you.”“We’d love to have you over.”“We’d love to see you.”“We’d love to come visit.”
These patterns will save you time and effort when speaking English and will help you use language in a more natural way later.

Which is a better band: Iron Maiden or Judas Priest? | Which band is better is opinion; it’s a matter of taste. In my opinion, the innovator is always the best.
Judas Priest were the innovators in that style and Iron Maiden ripped off the look with the leather and studs that Judas Priest created as the heavy metal look. Judas Priest were the first heavy metal band to have two guitarists who played harmonized leads. Iron Maiden copied that.
Judas Priest was the first heavy metal band to have a singer who had a vocal range capable of hitting the high notes Rob Halford is famous for. Judas Priest had such a distinctive sound partly because there was nobody in heavy metal or any other style of rock that used those types of high screams in their vocals.
Iron Maiden only had moderate success with Paul Dianno who had a limited range, so they hired Bruce Dickinson who was very influenced by Rob Halford and also did high screams. After hiring Dickinson, Iron Maiden opened for Judas Priest on the Screaming For Vengeance tour and finally got large scale exposure performing in front of sold out arenas every night. Then Iron Maiden started to have major success too.
Without Judas Priest there would be no Iron Maiden as you know it.

What is the biggest problem with the modern education system? | It had to do with more than learning or testing. A lot of the subject matter didnt really benefit anyone and government corruption cant exist, school was a complete waste of time we all lived in commercial properties and a digital technology world in the 1980s and 1990s besides everyone liking to go outside and do things in parks or outdoor stuff.
They just forced us to go to school so they could force us to be around other people or have them around us and could try and steal our money (I guess). They even made the day really long where we had to eat lunch there and still gave us homework (it was an outrage). Sonetimes they made us stupider by teaching false information or forcing us to repeat subjects we passed with average or high academic levels. They just liked pissing us all off and stressing us out so that we all used drugs or something and flooded everything with capitalism of cheap drugs and junk food and then they will all sell them for more money and not get in trouble or they will force or spread communism on us all.
It was weird that anything microsoft was in a school because apple always did this school or office work thing but microsoft was more professional and there was many different independent business people or computer owners.
And the USA did not exist or was known of by anyone during that time. Nerds loved it and they all focused on getting the elections and stuff going but junk food and urban areas still had to exist in it and of course communism or them getting free stuff and learning or knowing nothing but government stuff and corruption.
It was pointless to read books or information and memorize it without having a photographic memory. Even over twenty years ago we were saving information on cobalt or silicon nitrate and swallowing it and the information would be stored in our brains like in a computer. The school system just became about experiments, sharing new or unknown information, writing, the arts, and music. Socializing with people or doing other activities wasnt that bad. Countries of people have to interact with each other or know each other at least a little bit.
Some people were very independent and did not talk to others and school would help them come out of their shells and sometimes going to school prevented accidents or crime from going on. Or they like spreading communism there and bringing immigrants in to spread it.
It was an outrage to be mad at students for talking or having fun or using cell phones or listening to music if bored. Atleast they attended the school. It became where it was a set up to hook everyone on drugs, get kidnapped, or have sex with the children. Some people also lived far away from towns and cities or lived in areas that were less densely populated so they didnt talk to many people in their daily lives and would possibly become shy or antisocial.
The school system was also to educate people in laws and how the united states federal government operates or functions. It was also to somewhat train people to be in prison or in the military (army, navy, marines, Air Force, CIA etc.). It almost just became about the court and prison system and laws since no one wanted to learn or it was unnecessary because of technological advancements. It is important to have a good thinking brain.
So we dont get why factory workers and other employees dropped out of school or refused to go or why they thought everything was just working or bills in the united states of America. Urban areas and suburban areas were practically illegal in the united states and we dont know why the city governments started doing this federal law thing.

When Brazil released the R$10 polymer banknotes in 2000, they were a huge failure because they tore apart very easily. How did later release of polymer banknotes in Canada and Australia manage to make it more durable that paper? | It wasn’t a “later release” in Australia. We trialed polymer banknotes in 1985, and they were put into general circulation in 1988, more than a decade before their use in Brazil.
These were extremely durable from day 1. Polymer banknotes were an Australian invention/technology, and we were the first country in the world to use them. Brazil did not licence the technology from Australia; they obviously didn’t do it right.
I don’t know why some (many) countries still haven’t switched to polymer banknotes. They are superior in every respect. Much harder to counterfeit, more durable, lighter and more compact in your wallet, available in much brighter colours, and much cheaper on a lifetime cost basis.

Will Akhilesh Yadav be able to form his government this time in the Uttar Pradesh 2022 elections? | No. No chance.
The way electoral campaign is observed it looks SP is depending on only Yadav's&Muslims. From 2nd Phase polling onwards the SP campaign trailed back. Mulayam is brought for gaining some Sympathy. Mamatha is brought to canvass for SP fearing a dent in Muslim Women Vote Bank. BSP,AAP&Cong have almost given up the fight as they are sure of a Yogi comeback. Even if a slightest chance of SP coming to power was felt by these 3Parties,they would have fought bitterly to win some seats, so that they would have some role to play under the Mask of Secular Govt. On the other side Yogiji's speed increased Phase after phase. He is spearheading the Campaign on his own which clearly shows his higher level of Confidence.Ram Mandir,Varanasi, Development, Corruption free Govt,Women Safety,Mafia Eradication all play a Positive role in his Success.People of UP see future Prime Minister in Yogiji. He is Sincere,Fair,Non Corrupt &Hard Working. So Yogiji certaily is Unstoppable.

Is it safe to apply aloe vera gel on the face overnight? | Aloe vera is generally considered safe for topical use and is commonly used in skincare products due to its moisturizing and soothing properties. Applying aloe vera gel on the face overnight may be safe for most people, but it is always best to do a patch test first to make sure you are not allergic to aloe vera.
It is important to note that some people may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to aloe vera. If you notice any redness, swelling, itching, or other signs of an allergic reaction, stop using aloe vera and consult a healthcare professional.
Also, be sure to use pure aloe vera gel, free from added fragrances, preservatives, or other additives, as these can irritate the skin. If you have sensitive skin, it is always best to consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional before using any new skincare products, including aloe vera gel.
Overall, while applying aloe vera gel on the face overnight may be safe for many people, it is always best to use caution and consult a professional if you have any concerns or experience any adverse reactions.

Why is intelligent design opposed by so many scientists? | It breaks a basic assumption of science: There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us.
[LINKED_TEXT: Basic assumptions of science - Understanding ScienceHome → Basic assumptions of science Science operates on the assumptions that natural causes explain natural phenomena, that evidence from the natural world can inform us about those causes, and that these causes are consistent. Basic assumptions of science The process of science builds reliable knowledge about the natural world . To see evidence of this reliability, one can look around at the everyday products of scientific knowledge: from airplanes to antibiotics, from batteries to bridges. These technologies only work because science does. The process of building scientific knowledge relies on a few basic assumptions that are worth acknowledging. Science operates on the assumptions that: There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us. For example, if a ball falls to the ground, science assumes that there must be a natural explanation for why the ball moves downward once released. Right now, scientists can describe gravity in great detail, but exactly what gravity is remains elusive. Still, science assumes that there is an explanation for gravity that relies on natural causes, just as there is for everything in nature. Evidence from the natural world can be used to learn about those causes. Science assumes that we can learn about gravity and why a ball falls by studying evidence from the natural world. Scientists can perform experiments with other falling objects, observe how gravity affects the orbits of the planets, etc. Evidence from a wide range of experiments and observations helps scientists understand more about the natural causes of gravity. There is consistency in the causes that operate in the natural world. In other words, the same causes come into play in related situations and these causes are predictable . For example, science assumes that the gravitational forces at work on a falling ball are related to those at work on other falling objects. It is further assumed that the workings of gravity don’t change from moment to moment and object to object in unpredictable ways. Hence, what we learn about gravity today by studying falling balls can also be used to understand, for example, modern satellite orbits, the formation of the moon in the distant past, and the movements of the planets and stars in the future, because the same natural cause is at work regardless of when and where things happen. These assumptions are important and are not controversial in science today. In fact, they form much of the basis for how we interact with the world and each other everyday. This page introduces the foundational assumptions of science.

What kind of food do people from the UK eat that is considered an acquired taste to the rest of the world? | To many in Britain Marmite, or yeast extract, is an acquired taste - I like it but know lots of people who don’t. I don’t know if it’s widely eaten outside Britain, though other countries have something similar (Australia = Vegemite).

Why is #ISRO trending on Twitter? | We get everything even before we ask!!
Your father must be well settled. Upper-middle-class family. Your parents will build a house. So you need not worry about it.You will get a good education just because you born in a wealthy family.Your parents are ready to give donation.
You will get superbikes from your parents once you turn 18 as a birthday gift. Just to go for tuitions and college.You will demand iPhone for sure, no doubt in it.You will get pocket money from your parents just to chill out with your friends.Looking at your superbike and your standard of living some random chick will fall in love with you.There are plenty of Oyo hotels in every corner of India. 470 approximately in Bangalore. What else do you need for privacy?You will definitely have sex with your so-called partner. Now the curiosity turns into an addiction of sex.You need VIP or Jockey inner wear and all branded out fits from your parents hard earned money.With your average percentage, somehow your father will influence to get you a job.Your parents will find some girl to get you married.
Well, you have everything without struggling for anything.
When you don't have a purpose in life. You will feel unhappy about everything.
You will enjoy everything before the age of 25 and you will lose interest in everything.
An aimless boy/girl is a shameless boy/girl.
The only way to be happy is by standing on your own. Rising from the bottom on your own.
Life will be interesting when you are struggling. When everything is at your foot life will lose its charm soon.
There should be a purpose in life.
If you wake up tomorrow with trillions of money in your bank account. You will be excited for a couple of months. Later, you will start to feel no purpose in life at all.
The happiness of life lies in the struggling to earn name, fame and money.

Why does Starbucks seem to attract so many hostile, entitled customers? | Using the slogan “The customer is always right” abusive customers can demand just about anything – they’re right by definition, aren’t they? This makes the employees’ job that much harder, when trying to rein them in.
Also, it means that abusive people get better treatment and conditions than nice people. That always seemed wrong to me, and it makes much more sense to be nice to the nice customers to keep them coming back.

What is the difference between lucid dreaming and astral projection? | Lucid dreaming is the ability to consciously observe and/or control your dreams. It transforms your inner dream world into a living alternate reality - where everything you see, hear, feel, taste and even smell is as authentic as real life. Lucidity occurs during altered states of consciousness when you realize you are dreaming - and your brain switches into waking mode inside the dream. In normal dreams, your self awareness is shut down. That's why they often feel fuzzy and distant. But when lucid, the conscious brain wakes up during sleep.
While astral Projection is the phenomenon where one’s out of body experience is interpreted. It is believed that our soul is capable of leaving our physical body and entering the astral body to travel in a plane called Astral Plane. Astral projection guide provides you the proper guidance about how to do the astral projection and how can you shift your consciousness from your physical body to your astral body. You can travel in the astral plane only when your soul is occupying your astral body.

How do Apple commercials not activate hey Siri on my devices such as my HomePod? | When you were first setting up your devices for “Hey Siri”, you set it up to only answer to your voice or a voice very similar to it.

Why am I always rejected by the men I am interested in? | Maybe your standards are too high (extremely good looking, six packs, lots of money, high status etc.). In a documentary about the science of attraction it showed that people end up eventually with people that are similarly attractive. So just ask yourself can I give back what I am asking for in a guy? If you are looking for a muscles guy but you are overweight, if you are looking for a successful guy but you are broke or doing minimum pay job etc. Another thing to ask yourself is are you approachable or are you testing guys all the time and they get tired of you? Are you caring kind empathetic? All these are things to think about.

How do homosexuals decide who is the alpha; coin toss? | 15% of us don’t even do anal sex, pretty much ever, and for most other gay men it isn’t even the thing that happens on most occasions. So please give up on the alpha beta gamma delta top bottom versatile bullshit. We just talk and work out how each other is feeling in terms of what happens… or not. The few gay men about who stubbornly say “I’m a top, I don’t suck dick” really show what little imagination and what narrow self concept they have and how little they are prepared to transgress gender norms. They are effectively straight! And does it occur to you that loving equality might be an important feature of most gay men’s relationships with each other, sexual or otherwise?

What is the most dangerous place on Earth? | You see this?
This is a nuclear bomb. It has the capacity of killing millions. It very well may be minituarized and furnished on an ICBM. It's the main thing on Earth with such a limit with respect to obliteration.
It's certainly the most hazardous thing on The planet. But, it has saved great many lives, keeping countries from battling out of dread of M.A.D.
Such a mystery. The most remarkable weapon on Earth is likewise our most prominent shield from war.
Alter: changed to hydrogen.
Alter 2: Thank you for the 5,000+ upvotes! They are enormously valuable.
I have likewise added ICBMs. This is the last change I'm making, so if it's not too much trouble, abstain from posting additional ideas about substitutions. Much appreciated!

What is the practical value of the bottom number in a time signature? I get the top number intuitively but the bottom number remains a mystery to me as a decent guitarist of 25 years only now trying to learn theory. | You come seeking wisdom, young Padawan. You must never reveal what I am about to tell you except to a fellow homo sapiens.
Think of it as a fraction. The top number in a time signature shows you how many counts in a measure; the bottom number shows you what note value gets counted. In 4/4 time the quarter-note gets one beat. Same for 2/4, 3/4, 5/4, 6/4, etc. A 2/2 time signature, also known as “cut time”, counts half-notes; also in 3/2 time.
There is no practical way of showing a three-way division of one count, but groupings of eighth notes are used, giving us 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, all of them indicating how many eighth notes are counted in groups of three. This is also the way odd rhythms are notated, such as 5/8, 7/8, 11/8, 13/8, etc. These meters have beats of unequal length, some of two eighth notes, some of three.
If you run into music with a 1, a 16, or a 32 in the bottom of the time signature, run away! Some composer is just trying to show off at the musician’s expense.
Ok, so you can tell this to drummers, too. They are usually sentient beings. Usually.

How does the Canadian healthcare system prevent people from going to the doctor excessively when they aren't sick, with no copays and deductibles? | We have similar system in Iceland.
So, how do we deal with people just using sick days and filling up waiting rooms?
We don’t, really. You see, when you don’t have to worry about hospital bills, you might go more often and get help early, like getting antibiotics before you get seriously ill. Get allergy medicine before the season starts. Get your flue shots before the flue season.
You just go to school or work or where ever you are needed instead of waiting in hospitals near sick people. It is really the last place a healthy person wants to be in.
Simple, we don’t.
People who are hypochondriacs get marked as such and they do get the help they actually need, mental help. Of course there are some people who try to live off the system, they are a few, not many. It isn’t a glorious life, they really work much harder to stay on benefits than I do getting much higher salary. This of course hits people who can’t work hard, they also need to work harder to get their benefits, but they do get more help.
This is under control and not an issue. Until I read this question, I have never even thought about this. People have more important things to do

Why did sailors keep pets aboard their ships (such as cats, dogs, birds)? | Sailors kept pets aboard their ships for companionship and to help control pests such as mice and rats. Mice and rats were a problem on ships because they would eat the sailors' food stores and damage the ship's rigging and other equipment. Cats were especially valued as they were natural hunters and kept the populations of these pests under control. Additionally, pets provided emotional support and a sense of home for sailors who were often away from their families for extended periods of time.

How do countries who encounter earthquakes predict when an earthquake will occur and what process are taken to prevent it to make a very less damage when it occurs? | They don’t predict them because they can’t. No one has developed an accurate way to do so. EQ’s basically give no warning before they occur.
Most countries have taken preparation steps in an attempt to mitigate the potental damage.
