Is it unethical to tell an Alzheimer’s patient that they’re vacationing in an awesome place, rather than telling them they’re in a care facility—assuming they would take your word for it, feel happy, and not discover the lie? | My friend's Grandad, who had dementia and was in a home, told my friend's parents, “well it's a lovely hotel is this, but I don't know who's paying the bills!”
They didn't tell him it wasn't a hotel, nor who was paying the bills.

What is issuing authority in a passport? What should I write in it? | For a UK passport, in nearly all cases it will be IPS, UKPS, UKPA or HMPO, whichever happened to be the name of the authority at the time your passport was issued. If it was issued outside the UK, it will say in your passport.
The trickier one is “place of issue”, as this is not stated in British passports. (Nor is country of birth, though this is on the database. It’s on my old one, and I say “on” as it’s on the sticker put on it during renewal and cancellation, it wasn’t there before. “Place” of birth is there.)

Why aren't bullets sharp? | Beyond the ball that was ramrodded into muzzleloaders, bullets took every shape and size. Single-shot rifles, even some time ago, were more accurate at longer ranges when firing a pointed bullet (bullet length, mass, and rifling is more influential to long range ballistics anyhow). But when the first repeaters were made, bullets were loaded end to end in a tube magazine. Think of a lever action 30–30. Because the bullets are end to end, you are restricted to round nose or flat nose bullets to avoid a sharp end igniting the primer in the next bullet. Additionally, having shorter rounds allowed you to load more rounds in the tube at one time (which meant stubby bullets and shorter cartridges for powder). These rifles typically only had iron sights anyway, so long range accuracy wasn’t much of a concern. Fast forward to vertical internal box magazines in bolt action rifles. You can chamber a round while lying in the prone position, the vertical magazine allows for long, pointed rounds (albeit only 3–4), and you throw a scope on top and viola, you have an accurate long range rifle.
As far as a bullet actually being sharp, you have to understand what a bullet’s purpose is. It is not to pierce a hole in a target, it is to wreck a hole in a target, which means deforming within inches of impact. Part of that involves not being so sharp. The bullet material determines this as well, whether you have a lead bullet, partial or full copper jacket, or pure copper (there are many more bullet materials, but these are the most common). But to the point of the question, having a very sharp tip does not serve the purpose that most ammunition is made for. In fact, soldiers have been known to scrape down the tips of their bullets in order to expose and flatten the lead to make them more deadly against unarmored enemy combatants.
Now the other bullet type we haven’t covered, handguns. Shorter barrels and iron sights limits range and velocity, especially for heavy bullets. The objective of a handgun round is not to hit a dime at 100 yards, and it is not to rip a hole through steel plate. It is to travel a very short distance, and upon impact with human flesh, flatten and deform as greatly and uniformly as possible, damaging as much tissue on its short path through the body. Round/flat/hollow bullets in handguns has nothing to do with the mechanics of loading/firing or trajectories like rifles, but has everything to do with its affect on a human target at close range.

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? | You forget to say alone without your wife. Big difference. I respect people with value sand realize as an internationally respected performance management specialist realize that about the only time you need to be alone with an opposite sex person is to give them their performance appraisal. I always leave my door cracked.

How does the sound processor process sound? What actions does it perform to do that? | The sound processor processes sound by converting it from analog to digital and vice versa. To do this, the sound processor performs tasks such as amplifying signals, applying equalization, adjusting compression, and removing noise.

If any Creepypasta could be real, who would you want it to be (no fan girls)? | Slenderman. He is an interdemensional being and quite possibly one of the kings of the creepypasta fandom. If he was real I think others too would rise up because of him. Think of it like an infection. Once one has started others will follow. If Slenderman is out there, you can sure as hell believe that others are/would be too.
I believe slenderman has a pocket universe. In another world like ours, he lives. I spend hours pondering what our world would be like if he was at our doorstep. Where would he reside? Would he be as mysterious as his stories make him out to be? So many questions but so little answers… for now.
Plus we all need a bit of flavour in the mix. What's a good night without a little pasta, eh? :)

Why are Democrats afraid of Christians? | The issue isn’t Christians, its theocracy. People can believe in whatever deities they wish and appeal to them as they feel the need. However, when people insist that their religious beliefs and practices become the law of the land, the result is always, yes ALWAYS, a reduction in freedom, ignoring of civil rights and, if allowed to progress, executions for non-crimes such as blasphemy.
Mind you, it does not matter what religion one is talking about. They all become basically the same once they assume political power. In the USA it is Christians who are making the greatest effort to turn their religion into law, and who are in the best position to do so. We are reminded of that every time a Christian fanatic declares “the USA is a Christian nation!”
Also consider that this applies to atheism. A state which actively promotes atheism as superior to theism is not better than a theocracy. The only way to preserve human rights and dignity is for the state to remain secular, that is for the state to officially declare religion to be a personal, not a political matter.

My blood pressure was 138/83 and my pulse was 52. Is this borderline high? | Doctors can use pulse pressure as an indicator of how well your heart is working. A high pulse pressure is sometimes called a wide pulse pressure. This is because there’s a large or wide difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure.
A low pulse pressure is a small difference between your systolic and diastolic pressure. In some cases, a low pulse pressure can also be a sign of a poorly functioning heart.
Most people have a pulse pressure between 40 and 60 mm Hg. Generally, anything above this is considered a wide pulse pressure.
Read on for more information about what your pulse pressure could tell you about your heart health.

What do you want to say to Adam D'Angelo, the CEO of Quora? | The Quora Partner Program was the most idiotic idea I’ve seen for a long time.
I’ve heard people say, “there is no such thing as a stupid question”. That is one of the most completely wrong platitudes I’ve ever heard. Most questions are stupid.
“If there is no such thing as a stupid question, then what kinds of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?” - Scott Adams.
At one time, Quora had a ratio of stupid questions that was no worse than what was found in the average human interaction.
Now, with the QPP, that percentage has skyrocketed. Before QPP, I had no reason to ever stop using Quora. Now, I am seriously considering it. If someone else were to create a question and answer site without such blatant money-grabbing, I would switch to it, and drop all activity on here.
In short, before QPP, I really liked Quora. Now, I’m not so sure.

What is something that you will never do? | I will never understand why some people feel the need to tear others down. Everyone is different and brings something valuable to the world. No one should be judged, bullied, or ridiculed for their beliefs, race, sexuality, or other personal characteristics. We all deserve the chance to express ourselves in the way that feels right for us.
I will also never understand why we, as humans, are so prone to procrastination. We tell ourselves that tomorrow we'll do our work, and when tomorrow comes, we're back to square one, repeating the cycle all over again. The world would be a much more productive place if we all just managed to break out of this habit.

What do Yankees fans think about Sandy Koufax? | I believe they think the same things Yankees players think of Koufax. Reportedly after his first at bat in the 1963 WS vs. Koufax, Mickey Mantle uttered to the Dodgers’ catcher, John Roseboro, “how the hell do you hit that?” I believe Mickey said a similar thing in his last at bat against Sandy in the first WS game, when Sandy fanned Mickey with a curve ball that appeared to drop several feet.
Koufax was born and grew up in Brooklyn, so he had a New York base. He was Jewish, and New York has a lot of Jewish people. It would not surprise me that Yankees fans greatly admired Sandy’s pitching skills and liked him as a person and fellow New Yorker.

If Deku catches Goku off guard, can he one-shot him? | Time to debunk a specific person's answer here.
[LINKED_TEXT: Russell Bryan · Jan 22If Deku catches Goku off guard, can he one-shot him?Yes. ——————————— Edit: tldr because some people don't seem to be reading the whole answer. No, Izuku is nowhere near Goku's power, even on Izuku's best day and Goku's worst. However, the very nature of Goku's power means that he could reduce it as much as he wants to at any given time. If he can reduce it so much that he can be bruised by a bullet from a pistol, he can absolutely choose to lower it to the point where Deku could one-shot him. I am in no way saying that Deku is stronger than Goku, in fact if you actually read the answer I'm saying the exact opposite. Edit 2, copied from an earlier comment: Hopefully I won't have to clarify this again on this answer but I'm not arguing that Deku would beat Goku, because he wouldn't and not by a long shot. Rather I'm saying that there is a specific circumstance entirely within the power of both characters where Deku could beat Goku, and that difference is important. Whether they know they're fighting each other, want to fight each other, or have the ability to quickly raise their defenses is irrelevant to the conversation. The question was about a possible scenario, not a probable one, and that's what I answered. It'd be dishonest for me to deny it just because I like Goku more than Deku. The real answer begins below. ——————————— Goku is naturally very strong even at rest, but his defenses weaken significantly when he's off guard. This is because he lowers his power when he believes the battle is won, in order to avoid exhausting himself unnecessarily (and probably also to avoid destroying his surroundings by accident). He has, in the past, acclimated to an elevated state (Super Saiyan during the Cell saga) to the point where the form didn't stress him at all, but he still reverts back to normal and lowers his power to this day. Now to be clear, in his base form Goku is still many times Universal level, but even after achieving this power he's shown to take damage from weak attacks if he's goofing around. Examples: bruised from a normal round from a pistol after catching a full clip from an assault rifle with no issue. And of course, being injured by Sorbet's Bad Ring Laser after having a universal level fight with Frieza. Now to be fair, Sorbet's Laser was made with some of the most advanced technology in the known universe, but that doesn't discount the fact that this only worked after Goku relaxed from fighting Frieza. Goku could be “off guard” and reduce his power to such a level that anything could hurt him. That includes Deku, especially using the powers of One For All. ——————————— Postscript; hopefully the final edit. If you've finished reading the answer, I ask that you read it one more time and really think about what is being said. A lot of the comments are either completely misinterpreting what I'm saying, or are showing a lack of understanding of a basic element of Dragon Ball's power system. Either way, I'd rather not have to keep coming back to clarify. The important parts are in bold.] [URL: https://www.quora.com/If-Deku-catches-Goku-off-guard-can-he-one-shot-him/answer/Russell-Bryan-2?ch=10&oid=406625620&share=524b3d88&srid=uy9aKt&target_type=answer]..

Here's a link t//ol one of my older answers which debunks the above specifically on the point he used to reinforce his answer.
[LINKED_TEXT: Maikeru Marmoon · Mar 4Does it make any sense that Goku was badly hurt by that mini blaster in Resurrection F?Yes. As that moment was to give a reason to why Goku doesn't let down his guard anymore. {{As before it he's never had any Really bad experiences with letting down his guard // 1st time Got hit with a small rock, 2nd time got knocked out by Vegeta, the 3rd Well let's just say the 3rd was the lucky charm which we are currently talking about}} {{Please note that not training will also weaken a persons guard}} Also a note before the fight with Frieza Whis had been repeatedly telling him that he needs to stop lowering his guard ((by guard they mean Ki shielding)) and during Ressurection F he lowered it thinking the fight was over just to get blasted in the back by a laser after wards however Whis more or less Got onto him about it and since then he hasn't done so again. //// Now something you should know the WEAKEST OLD MODEL FRIEZA FORCE LASERS from DBZ are capable of Destroying moons (which btw wer specifically designed to be far weaker than a Generals personal blaster) and this what he was hit with was a NEW MODEL GENERAL laser, so for Goku being able to survive a MOON — PLANETARY+ blast through the heart is a statement in itself. As u can see here that most of the lasers destructive power went into piercing Goku and here is the remaining destructive power of the Laser That's a GIANT hole…. So as U can See Goku's unprotected Body TANKED most of the laser’s destructive power which would be roughly CONCENTRATED MOON — PLANET tier+ power that harmed the OFF-Guard Goku. And it would have to be repeated to Kill Goku as In Ressurection F the laser that went through his heart doesn't kill him. ///// Now as for those of you that are like “” BUT WAIT HE WAS TRANSFORMED HOW DID HE NOT HAVE A SHIELD “” Please note that forms don't instantly grant a Shield it AMPLIFIES all the users abilities so if said user lowers there shield the Shields effects won't be applied due to not being active… ///// {So ye down players can kiss my Shiny Titanium Ass} {common Shtick “BUT IF HIS GUARD DOWN BUT IF HIS GUARD DOWN" hey Dumb ass if your putting your weak ass character against a Goku past Ressurection F his gaurd won't ever be down as he keeps his ki shielding up 24/7 ever since the little Laser incident} /// Here's a WAY STRONGER laser hitting Goku in the face with his guard up ((aka Ki shielding up)) Thank @John Jones for requesting my answer.] [URL: https://www.quora.com/Does-it-make-any-sense-that-Goku-was-badly-hurt-by-that-mini-blaster-in-Resurrection-F/answer/Maikeru-Marmoon?ch=10&oid=321547056&share=9d2abe56&srid=uy9aKt&target_type=answer]///
Now let's examine this a bit further shall we?
Deku comes in at around:
Small Island — Continental, AT AN ABSOLUTE MAX IN HIS SCALING of AP/DP
While Deku's Defence comes in around:
Super Human at a maximum
Thus even if Deku wer to atk an Off guard Goku Deku would most likely end up hurting himself rather than hurting Goku at all
LET ALONE if we were to use Current Goku who even when Beaten down to the point he passes out has a Body guard that won't let him be killed by an attacker as shown Below.
..
This is SUSUANOO GOKU who at all times after his creation in the Moro-Arc keeps Goku protected from Lethal atks when Goku himself is unable.
This Susuanoo Goku is capable of everything Goku himself can do but on a much higher & larger scale as he has the capability to Increase his size on a whim to how ever Small or Large he wishes the full extents of said sizes are unknown but we do know they can be quite drastic as will be shown below the current image.
..
As you can observe below Susuanoo Goku goes from being Slightly smaller than PLANET Moro (who at this point is roughly the size of mountains and is slowly increasing in size) to Dwarfing him and the surrounding mountains entirely.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
So on closing as u can see above not only would Current Off Guard or even a Nearly Dead Knockedout Goku be entirely Unaffected by a Blow from Deku, Deku would also be nothing more than a red Mist left over after a ki blast from either an Off guard but very much still Alive Goku, or Vaporized by the Goku Susuanoo who is protecting a near flatlined Goku.
Take your pick.

Were WW2 mosquito pilots really labelled as crazy? | Some were. It depended a lot on what variant and mission set you flew.
With the fighter, night fighter, and fighter bomber models, not really, unless you were assigned a low level intruder mission as a fighter bomber pilot.
Photo recon, not really crazy either.
Bomber however, tended to be mildly insane. First your completely unarmed. You have no means of engaging in air to air combat, at all. Second, most of your missions are low level intruder missions without escort. So your unarmed, deep in enemy territory, flying at tree top level with the throttles pinned, and you have absolutely no back up.
Yeah that's a little crazy, and pretty much everyone noticed it.

Why do grocery stores allow dogs in their business and don't object when small dogs ride in grocery carts? Are dogs in carts a sanitary problem? | First off, if you think that just because dogs aren’t allowed into a store, it’s ‘Sanitary’, you are living in utter delusion. You should be more concerned with the kids that ride in those shopping carts than a small dog riding it it. As long as the dogs don’t urinate or defecate in the cart or store, they aren’t any more unsanitary than the people mulling around the store.
If you are a Germiphobe, you should be more concern with folks coughing in their hands, then handling the various items on the shelves of the store, that they don’t actually buy. I’ve seen folks cough with uncovered mouths, while facing the shelves and less than 2′ away; talk about contamination!
There are a few canine borne bacteria that will infect people as well, but pretty much EVERY disease carried by other shoppers will transfer to other humans! That’s where you are MOST LIKELY to pick up sort of disease.

How do people who eat only once or twice a day manage to not feel hungry between meals? | Not everyone requires the same.
I have a very slow metabolism.
I eat when I'm hungry, eat slowly & rarely overeat. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to get the signal your stomach is full.
I have many allergies/sensitivities so I avoid grains, vegetables & most fruits.
I have sharp teeth. I'm more suited to eat meat. I consider myself a carnivore.
Society has conditioned us all to eat 3 meals a day, a couple of snacks, specific portions from specific food groups.
When I do indulge & follow these “rules” I have issues. I put on weight, suffer gastrointestinal distress for weeks, have no energy, etc.
If everyone truly listened to their body many would find they often aren't actually hungry when they eat, it's just habit.
I've been told it's not that I primarily eat meat that makes me a carnivore but that I only really eat once every day or two.
Picture a snake 🐍 & how they eat.

Why is programming so high in demand but so hard to get a programming job? | Programming is not in high demand.
What in high demand is experienced programmers who are willing to work long hours for funny money. If you one of them you will not find job because of companies recruitment policies (like “we hire the best ones”, and the best ones defines by doing some buggy programming test).
All other combinations (unexperienced programmers who can accept low salary & experienced programmers who want reasonable salary) are not in demand at all.

I'm writing this because I think my disclosure here will have little impact, but I don't think many people know that he was hired by forces other than the Chinese Communist Party. Most people don't realize the difference, but he's a resolutely stupid clown.
He's a first-class elite, and he's calculated what his statement will provoke. And so far it's been successful. Of course, it is also successful in not being noticed by the Chinese Communist Party cadres.
The Chinese Communist Party, which decided to break with communism under Deng Xiaoping, has brought prosperity through collective leadership. However, the Communist Party officials are unaware that the end is approaching. Those who are aware have already been purged. All that's left is the naked King Pooh the Bear and his happy friends. Do not dig in the ground outside Tiananmen Square. This is because we can hear the remains of many students who lost their lives in the Tiananmen Square massacre, and the voice that says, "The king's ears are the ears of a donkey."
It was Wang Yi's remarks to collapse the system of the Chinese Communist Party from the outside. Unfortunately for the Chinese government, it follows the traditional protocol of making a statement immediately, using crude metaphors, and with a firm attitude, so that his true intentions I don't think it's possible to get it right.
The Chinese forces, who want to lose the trust of the Chinese government from foreign countries and end Xi Jinping's dictatorship, are trying to turn their wishes into reality through Wang Yi's remarks.
And the answer for this question is that many people lost their words and tend to dislike China. It means more than get angry,
Thank you.

As an American, do you agree that "statistics" that show the US way down low at #37 for quality of healthcare is far-left propaganda that folks in Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand love to repeat, when in reality the US is always #1? | Please! Let’s NOT politicize a very bad problem. Yes, we have a failing health care system AND we need to work together to make it better. And, it is ridiculous to try to blame “far-left (sic) propaganda”, whatever you may imagine that is—you don’t specify. Help NOT cast unfounded accusations is what is needed.

What should I use to build the backend of my React Native application? | When it comes to building the backend of a React Native application, there are several options available that can cater to different requirements and preferences. The choice primarily depends on factors such as scalability, complexity, time-to-market, and your familiarity with the technologies involved. Let's explore some popular options to help you make an informed decision.
Node.js with Express: Node.js is a popular JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine, and Express is a minimal and flexible web application framework for Node.js. This combination allows you to build the backend using JavaScript, providing a seamless development experience for React Native developers. It offers a vast ecosystem of libraries, easy integration with databases like MongoDB or MySQL, and great scalability. If you are already comfortable with JavaScript, using Node.js with Express can be a solid choice.Firebase: Firebase is a comprehensive backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform offered by Google. It provides various services like authentication, real-time database, cloud functions, cloud storage, and more, all integrated into a single platform. Firebase simplifies backend development by handling server management, scalability, and security for you. It has excellent support for React Native, making it a convenient choice, especially for smaller projects or prototypes.Django: Django is a powerful and high-level Python web framework known for its simplicity and robustness. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and offers features like an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) layer, built-in authentication, and a powerful admin interface. Django is well-suited for building complex and data-intensive applications. If you are comfortable with Python and require advanced functionality, Django can be an excellent backend choice for your React Native app.Ruby on Rails: Ruby on Rails (Rails) is a popular MVC framework written in Ruby. It emphasizes convention over configuration, enabling developers to focus on building the application rather than managing configurations. Rails provides many useful gems (libraries) and follows best practices, making it a great choice for building robust and scalable backends. If you have experience with Ruby or prefer its elegant syntax, Rails can be a solid backend option.GraphQL: GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs. It allows clients to request specific data and avoids over-fetching or under-fetching, providing flexibility and efficiency. You can use GraphQL with various backend technologies, including Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, or even as a standalone server. GraphQL is particularly useful if you have complex data requirements or plan to consume multiple APIs in your React Native application.

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | A lot of people dismissing Arthurian Legend, but it's surprising how many there are, and how few of them the average person actually knows. Most people will be familiar with the Sword in the Stone and the Quest for the Holy Grail, but there’s way more beyond that.
My favourite is Gawain and the Green Knight.
** There are many different adaptations to this story. This is the one I tell my kids, as it was passed down to me. I know it varies from the original prose version in some details, but the basic thrust of the story is the same. **
Gawain a proud and brave knight wants to join Arthur’s Court at Camelot. When a mysterious giant knight in green comes to Camelot and challenges anyone to a contest, Gawain willingly steps forward, keen to show Arthur how brave he is. The knight says that Gawain can have a free swing at him. But once he’s done, the knight can reciprocate. Gawain accepts the challenge.
Gawain chops the knight’s head off in one powerful swing, much to the crowd’s delight. But then the knight’s headless body gets back up, finds its head, and pops it back on. Everyone is stunned… including Gawain. The knight then says that rather than take his swing there and then, Gawain should meet him, in exactly one year, at the abandoned green chapel in the old forest. Once there, the knight will have his turn. He then leaves.
For the next year, everyone tries to convince Gawain not to willingly go to what would be almost certain death. But Gawain was not a coward; plus he was proud and had given his word and wanted to show everyone that a knight’s word was his bond.
A week or two before the date, Gawain sets off to find the chapel. Upon riding through the forest, he comes across a castle. The lord and lady of the castle welcome Gawain as a guest. Gawain explains his quest and the lord tells him that the abandoned chapel is very close, and he was welcome to wait for his remaining few days with them.
After a bit of food and wine, the lord requests to play a game with Gawain. He would go out hunting, and whatever he catches he would give to Gawain. But in return, whatever Gawain collects during his day he has to give to the Lord. Gawain is puzzled at this odd game but cordially agrees.
On the first day, the lord goes out hunting, and the lady of the house comes to Gawain’s bedroom and tries to seduce him. He rebuffs her, and she gives him a kiss on the cheek. Later that day the lord returns with a deer. He gives it to Gawain and in return, Gawain kisses him on the cheek. The lord is angry, eyeing his servants suspiciously, but Gawain says nothing, having not agreed to tell the lord where he collected his gift.
The second day is the same. Once again, Gawain spurns the advances of the lady of the house, but this time, she gives him two kisses on the cheek. Once again, Gawain passes the kisses on to the lord, much to his consternation.
The third day was Gawain’s last day before his showdown with the green knight. The lady comes to his chambers and pleads with him to lie with her. Gawain is tempted… she is beautiful and it is his last night on Earth after all, but his honour prevents him from agreeing. The lady sighs in resignation, gives him three kisses, but then hands him a green garter which she explains is a precious magical relic which is imbued with a powerful protective charm and it may help Gawain survive his encounter with the knight. Gawain reluctantly accepts the gift.
When the lord returns, Gawain gives him three kisses. When the lord asks if there was anything else he had to give, Gawain hesitates… feeling the garter tucked away under his clothing, but says “no”. Gawain figures that giving such a powerful artefact away in a frivolous game was pointless when it could save his life. The lord nods and they feast on the food he had caught.
The next day, he bids farewell to the lord and lady and heads off to the chapel to face his destiny. After a while, he finds the chapel, and in a clearing out front is the green knight, sharpening his axe. He regards Gawain and then nods in acknowledgement.
Gawain offers himself to the knight, who - without ceremony - swings his axe at Gawain’s neck. Gawain recoils in fear, and the green knight laughs heartily and mocks him for it. Embarrassed at his display of fear, Gawain recovers and offers himself once more. Again, the knight swings, but stops just short of his neck. Gawain does not even flinch; the knight regards him and gives him a bow of respect. Gawain is angry at the knight’s games and demands he just gets on with it and land his blow.
The third time the knight does connect, making a painful but superficial and certainly not fatal cut. He then puts his axe down and laughs. Gawain, stunned at being hurt but otherwise alive, demands to know what is going on. The knight then removes his helmet to reveal he is, in fact, the lord of the castle he had been staying in. The knight then explains that he had been put up to the task by Merlin to test Gawain’s bravery, strength and honour and that he had passed and would make a fine knight of Camelot.
When Gawain asked why the knight had injured him anyway, he explained it was punishment for lying about the garter. The lady of the house had been in on it too. Gawain was dejected at having his deceit revealed. He returns to Camelot to face Arthur, to whom he explains that he’s not worthy to be a Knight of the Round Table on account of his deception.
Arthur laughs and explains that Gawain was probably the bravest knight he had ever seen; travelling willingly into certain death simply to uphold a vow. His one lapse in judgement was a lesson that they could all learn from. Arthur decided that all knights should, from that day forward, wear a green sash as a reminder of the need for honesty. Gawain was added to the Round Table and became one of Arthur’s most famous knights.

What exercise can lose face fat? | Reducing face fat requires an overall approach to weight loss, as spot reduction of fat is not possible. Here are some tips to help reduce face fat:
1. Create a calorie deficit: A calorie deficit is created when you burn more calories than you consume. This can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise.
2. Incorporate cardiovascular exercise: Cardiovascular exercise, such as running or cycling, can help burn calories and promote weight loss, including in the face.
3. Engage in resistance training: Resistance training, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, can help build muscle and increase metabolism, which can help promote weight loss.
4. Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water can help reduce bloating and promote weight loss.
5. Focus on a healthy and balanced diet: A healthy and balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can help promote weight loss and reduce face fat.
6. Limit alcohol and salt intake: Alcohol and salt can contribute to bloating and water retention, which can make the face appear puffy.
7. Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for overall health and can help reduce stress and promote weight loss.
Weight loss is a gradual process that requires patience and consistency. It's important to focus on progress, not perfection, and to make lifestyle changes that are sustainable in the long term.

What is the weirdest object you've ever found? | Not quite found and shipped to me, accidentally.
I had a big shipment of parts coming in and I shifted addresses on the order.
My merchandise comes in to the data center, the order is complete, and all is well. A couple days later the guy that works the front desk let's me know my shipment has arrived. Except, I did not have another shipment due.
I go get the box, it has my name on it, it has arrived from Germany, it is a bulky wooden crate like 18x30x30. It is screwed shut. I get a powered screwdriver and proceed to remove 8 x 3″ screws to get the box open.
From the paperwork inside I see it is an airplane flange. With a little Google-FU, I get a price of about $20,000. Not mine. No return address. No contact information.
I had to have gotten someone's package by mistake. With that price tag I know the shipper will hunt me down eventually. I wait about 10 days and the shipper contacts me about any odd shipments. We talk the talk and they arrange to come pick it up and take it to the correct recipient.
Remember that I shifted my shipment's location? Someone at the shipper's warehouse grabbed the flange and routed it to me instead of the correct boxes.
It was an odd moment and ended well.
Best of luck.

Is the golden ratio overrepresented in popular media? | Yes, it is exaggerated. However, as a solution to one of the simplest possible quadratic equations, the Golden Ratio appears in unexpected places. One of the most exotic is the appearance of the Golden Ratio as the probability of spontaneous uninformed choice between two alternatives, say in referenda.
In 1990, I came to the office of Vladimir Lefebvre, a Russian philosopher who emigrated to the USA and worked at University of California at Irvine. He immediately tasked me with sorting 100 almost identical and meaningless objects: small transparent plastic bags with two red beans in each of them, into two groups, the ones I liked and the ones I did not. I liked exactly 62 bags. 0.62 is a good approximation of the inverse of the Golden Ratio. Lefebvre had a theory behind bizarre appearances of 0.62 everywhere, he called the phenomenon "fast reflection". This is a very crude explanation: when making an impulsive choice between two options (with one slightly more preferable, but for unknown and not explicated reason), a person picks the "good" option with probability [math]p[/math], subconsciously reflects on his choice and changes it *with the same probability* (and this is the key assumption borrowed, I understand, from intentionalist philosophy and Uznadze's school of psychology ("set theory", where "set" = установка, ustanovka): intensity of intention in making a choice and in changing it on impulse, without reasoning, is the same). Hence "bad" choice is made with probability [math] p^2.[/math] But this is the complimentary probability to making "good" choice, hence equals [math]1-p[/math], and we get a quadratic equation [math]p^2 = 1 - p[/math], with a root equal to the inverse of the Golden Ratio. Therefore the Golden Ratio is deeply imprinted on human psychology and affects our vision of the world. This is why we find it everywhere. On of the most bizarre examples is this one:
A fight in the Ukrainian Parliament serendipitously fits into the classical “golden spiral” composition. Caravaggio would be envious.

Was Elvis Presley merely the first white musician to offer rock music to the masses, having borrowed heavily from what was already widespread within black culture? | The answer is “Yes, but…”
There WERE a lot of white artists in the Fifties who merely did inferior versions of songs already popularized by black artists. Pat Boone was one of those.
But Elvis was a lot more than MERELY a copycat. He merged many styles of music and MANY different influences into something his own.
Did he imitate many black gospel singers? Heck yes! He’d grown up going to black Pentecostal churches, and that music made a lasting mark on him. He was influenced by blues men like Arthur Crudup and rockers like Chuck Berry. But he was also influenced by bluegrass artists like Bill Monroe and mainstream crooners like Dean Martin.
It’s a damn shame that great black artists of the Fifties couldn’t get the radio airplay, exposure, and acclaim given to Elvis. But Elvis was an innovator in his own right, NOT just an imitator.
I can’t find the link, but I saw a quote from Jackie Wilson that said, essentially, black musicians copied Elvis at least as much as he copied them.

What is the difference between Angular and AngularJS? | Through my practice and expertise, I can tell you that the main difference between the two is that Angular is a complete rewrite of AngularJS with significant improvements and new features.
AngularJS is the original version of Angular and is based on JavaScript. It uses a two-way data binding system that synchronizes the model and the view efficiently. However, AngularJS is no longer actively maintained and is not as powerful as Angular.On the other hand, Angular is a complete rewrite of AngularJS and is based on TypeScript, the core of JavaScript. TypeScript adds several features to JavaScript, such as strong typing and user interfaces, making it easier to write and maintain large applications. Angular also uses a more robust change detection system, resulting in faster performance.
In conclusion, while AngularJS was a pioneering framework at the time, Angular is a more advanced and robust framework that offers significant improvements in performance, maintainability, and scalability.

What is the weirdest object you've ever found? | Once, while at the beach with my youngest daughter, she picked something up in the distance and turned toward me to show me what she’d found. It looked like a dead American lobster (Homarus Americanus), a species seldom found in North Carolina waters. But, on closer examination, however, I could readily see that it was not a small lobster at all, but a giant shrimp, about 10 inches long. I thought nothing of it at the time, but my daughter carried it all the way home and put it in a small aquarium she had in her room.
Later, she went to work investigating her find. She actually made several trips to the Kill Devil Hills Library some 27 miles away to borrow books on sea creatures. And, in a week or ten days, she handed me a typed, 5 page research paper on the specimen she had found. Her final document was entitled “The Mantis Shrimp,” and it proved to be more than interesting to me.
There were some purely informative details, such as: Latin labels, including Kingdom, Animalia; Phylum, Arthropoda; Subphylum, Crustacea; Class, Malacostraca; Subclass, Hoplocarida; and Order, Stomatopoda; and that only about 50 species of the shrimp are known from fossil records, the earliest being from the Lower Jurassic or Cretaceous periods, or about 140 million years old.
Of particular interest to my daughter were the facts that: the Mantis shrimp is monogamous and remains with its partner for up to 20 years; they share the same burrow and coordinate their activities; and that in some species both sexes take care of the eggs, while in others the female will lay two clutches of eggs, one tended by the male and the other by the female.
Of particular interest to me was the fact that the largest mantis shrimp ever caught was 18 inches long, and was found in the ocean off Fort Pierce, Florida, within sight of my Spanish cannon. More importantly, the research paper detailed some remarkable data of particular interest, in the abstract, to my inventions and dream investigations. The mantis shrimp has the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom and one of the most elaborate visual systems ever discovered. Each eye possesses trinocular vision and depth perception and is so precise it can perceive both polarized light and multi-spectral images.
Infrared radiation was discovered in 1800 by astronomer Sir William Herschel. The discovery of ultraviolet radiation was made in 1893 by the German physicist Victor Schumann. The first military night vision devices were being developed by AEG in 1935 and introduced by the German army as early as 1939. Everything that man can see as well as what he cannot see within the range of Infrared and ultraviolet is well within the range of the Mantis shrimp’s eye. Put simply, a shrimp can see things that a human cannot, yet what it sees that is beyond our capability to see is no less real.
Equally interesting is that the mantis shrimp’s raptorial claw, which can accelerate at 23 meters per second, generating 100,400 G's of load and strike with a force of 1500 Newtons, about 1106 foot pounds, a force greater than a .45 APC bullet leaving the barrel of a 1911 Colt automatic pistol. The cumulative effect of all of this is sonoluminescence arising from acoustic cavitations – the formation, growth and implosion of small gas bubbles in a liquid blasted with sound waves above 18,000 cycles per second. The collapse of these bubbles generates intense local heating, with temperatures in excess of 35,540° F (hotter than the surface of the sun), and creates light. The cumulative effect of all this is that sometimes in striking at their own reflections in aquariums the Mantis shrimp will break the glass without even making contact with it.

What will happen to a human on the Earth-like planet Tau Ceti b? | Just to give a recap, Tau Ceti has five rocky planets orbiting it, some of which fell within the Goldilocks Zone. The planets seem to be earth-like in size, as they are all estimated to have a mass between 2 and 6 Earth masses.
So we have small rocky planets (check), they are withing the habitable zone of their star (check) and are a comparable size to Earth (check)
SETI has checked it out as these planets may contain life. The idea was to get any broadcasts eminating from Tau Ceti. Needless to say, we were disappointed.
What is very important to note, is that even though these planets check a few boxes, WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM. Anybody looking at our solar system from afar would figure “ah! Look at those two big rocky planets!”, not knowing that Venus is just about the most inhospitable place in this solar system, barring the sun. Another point to make is this - you would NOT have wanted to love on this planet 3 billion years ago; Earth was not very friendly at the time.
The same thing could be the case at Tau Ceti. The planets may all be in a similar state to Venus. Maybe they are geologically dead. Maybe they have no water. Maybe they have superstorms. Maybe they lack an atmosphere. Maybe the rate of rotation is so slow that one half is a hellish desert and the other side a block of ice. Maybe they get pelted with asteroids ever year. Maybe the atmosphere is highly acidic. Maybe the barometric pressure is off the scale high.
Just because a planet ticks off three boxes that suggest it may be earth-like, don't forget that there are a million boxes that needed checking for us to evolve on here.

Are online classes and coaching worth the cost? | With the rise of online classes and coaching, more students are now considering taking part in these programs to help them prepare for their exams. But are online classes and coaching worth the cost?
The answer to this question depends on what kind of student you are. If you have a good understanding of the material and don't need additional help, then an online class or coaching may not be necessary. However, if you're struggling with certain topics or need extra guidance, then investing in an online class or coach may be worth it.

Are there any composers of the baroque/early classical style alive today? If so, could you name some? | Winfried Michel (born 1948) writes in the Baroque style under the pseudonym of ‘Simonetti’ - I’ve played some of his trio sonatas and enjoyed them. Every now and then he slips in some subtle non-baroque harmony, as if to remind you that it’s not his intention to fool you, which adds to the interest. Here’s one of his pieces:
And the excellent concerto for three violins and orchestra by Olli Mustonen ([LINKED_TEXT: here] [URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVKKHrxVMY]) has a very strong Baroque and dancelike feel, while being thoroughly modern. [LINKED_TEXT: Malcolm Arnold’s Double Violin Concerto] [URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwviPD9HxGQ] is not strictly Baroque, but the forces he uses are on a Baroque scale, and there are some Vivaldi-like gestures. The [LINKED_TEXT: Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli] [URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dts2_K_vG7A], by Tippett, is a strangely beautiful mashup of Corelli's Concerto Grosso No. 2.

What are some things that only electrical and electronics engineers know, but most people don't? | Wow Great! I like many of the answers for the above question. I would like to add one thing here that there are a no. of technical things in the electronic and electrical world which is out of this world for the common man. From all this, I would like to add few points like IPC Training and Certification which is widely used in the electronic industry.
We at BEST have variety of solder training and certification courses. BEST offer various courses that provide the understanding of today's industry standards and procedures such as IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC-7711/7721 and IPC/WHMA-A-620.

Are atoms observable? If not, can you explain atomic theory and the history of its inception? | Man cannot observe to his eye or by means of any magnifying tools the Things beyond the narrow linear domain of Light. In other words unless a Light Ray strikes upon and reflected without loosing much energy, it could not be visible.
Atom is not visible because Light is reflected back before entering in to the body of it. There arises the need to define Skin Boundary of Atom which has not yet been addressed by the so far developed Sciences in the Globe. (pl ref.

Why are Tempurpedic beds so expensive? | Buying Mattress has always been a priority of every individual as at the end they have to relax their body on the stretch for about 6–7 hours or even more depending upon every individual. Not only giving your body relaxation, but a good mattress will also help you to correct your posture.
As the pandemic period is still going on the majority of the population is still at their respective homes, therefore it is very important that give their body proper posture and relaxement.
But the main concern of every individual is that how can we identify that the mattress which we are choosing for us is appropriate or not?
Mentioned below are some of the parameters which might help you to find a good quality mattress and comfort your body and provide it a proper posture!-
Comfort Level: Comfort is considered to be one of the most important features while selecting. Comfort comes from the size, firmness, and materials used in the mattress. If the size, firmness, or appropriate materials aren’t used in the mattress then no comfort would be experienced by the customers.Sleeping Position: Sleeping Position is also considered one of the important factors to be kept in mind while selecting the mattress. For example, side sleepers may get a night of better sleep with a plush or pillow top mattress that might support your spine’s natural curve with a firmer comfort level.Temperature: Temperature plays a significant role as heavy comforters can affect the quality of your sleep. You should look for a mattress with cooling technology that helps you to sleep at a comfortable temperature.

For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child? | Let me ask you something. A man has a packet of seeds that he plants on someone else’s property. The other person doesn’t want that seed growing on their property, should the seed owner or the property owner have final say over what is grown on the property and whether the seeds should be dug up and removed?

I have scoliosis, how do I ensure that both sides of my lower back will be engaged equally during a back squat? | By visiting with a physical therapist or trainer with a high level of knowledge in back issues who can analyze what you are doing.
A trained physical therapist can make some suggestions to improve your body positions as you move through that squat and work with improving your range of motion.
But here is the thing: Most likely you will not engage your back muscles equally because your back is inherently asymmetric in structure. Right now with scoliosis your spine and also your muscles have an imbalanced dynamic happening. So this is not going to be a matter of equally engaging your muscles as much as it will be a matter of working with your body assymetry. Your lower back muscles will engage differently because they are structured differently. But different is not necessarily the same as bad or wrong. It is just different.
To me the bigger issue is whether or not squats will negatively impact your back, especially if you are really loading up on the amount of weights.
Right now I am working with a personal gym trainer who herself has scoliosis.
We are working on creating core muscle strength and correct body positioning while using weights which do not place compression on my spine. There is a ton of work with utilizing correct body positioning in weight lifting anyway and scoliosis adds just one more level to deal with. However I am not working with very heavy weights and I am also not at this point in my weight lifting program doing any squats. My body positioning is just not good enough for me to do them correctly at this point. However, I am actively working on that and within 6 to 8 weeks hope to be doing squats.
I would caution on placing your body in any weightlifting position where really heavy weights are compressing or pulling on your spine. You might still squat but perhaps with less weight, and most likely no lift and jerk stuff as that places a ton of stress on that low back area, in my opinion.
It is really worth it - YOU are really worth it - to first go to an osteopathic doctor to get some x-rays and an assessment. And then connect with a quality physical therapist or trainer who has a high level of knowledge about back structure and can work with your specific scoliosis curvature and back issues in creating a tailored weight program. I have no way of assessing your specific needs, but a doctor working in tandem with and trained therapist or really highly qualified body trainer can. If you can find someone who specializes in scoliosis that would be the best as most quality physical exercise trainers have a good working knowledge of body mechanics but scoliosis has very specific dynamics.
Because learning to do correct body positioning will go a long, long way to preventing injury and also preventing your scoliosis from worsening.

People associated with Harvard; people who got admitted, would you say I have a good chance of getting into Harvard, considering the acceptance rate, of course. I provided some details about me. Someone please help a conflicted junior out? | You are an African-American male (“URM”). This is statistically the most significant factor.
Your chances of admission are roughly 25%, and probably much higher, statistically. If you had been admitted to a TASP, your chance of admission would be ~85% (probably close to 100%).
You fail to give an idea of SATs, which would be the next most important (statistical) piece of information, but you are likely in the top 1-3% based on receiving a TASPlication, likely much higher. (Not having reviewed the cutoffs for your year). Everyone in elite admissions knows what this is.
I haven’t read any answers except Colao’s; it’s essentially BS in your situation unless you are applying to MIT.
Questbridge, as someone has noted, is a great idea if you qualify.

Can you make cornbread with cornmeal and all the other ingredients but only use cornmeal, other ingredients, and omit the flour? | As an experienced baker, I'd say you could - but , expect it to have less moisture + a gritty texture. It would be something like the early American settlers and American Indians made. I think even in the Southern U.S. it's made + called hoecakes. Check an old fashioned recipe book for it.

What is the manliest thing you've ever witnessed? | I’ve lived with my Angel for twenty-five years before he succumbed to lung cancer.
And, all the while living with that disease, I stood by doing everything I could for our family, with our dear Bogart.
Although the sickness got hold of him only in the last decade of those years, I never heard any complaint—he’d often need to fend for us because I rely on projects as a freelancer, or denial of God, or desperation, or even sign that he’s giving up or in dire pain—although he’d have great difficulty breathing when he moves or walks (his lungs have lost the ability to expand) and would call for “Mama” in his sleep, he never became mad at the world or hopeless with us.
And despite our disagreements, he’d always see his friends’ back through thick and thin, never a bad word about anyone.
I must admit those years weren’t easy or comfortable lives, but the Lord has made ways for us to remain steadfast despite the lack. Many were envious because we had been blessed in our own little ways, even gifted a puppy that we considered our child.
He never blamed anyone or anything.
And despite the dangers we’re literally surrounded with, he made me safe wherever we go and live—even in the streets for some time, under the bridge beside the wet market downtown, wherever, in Manila or Pasay or in the outskirts in Cavite here in the Philippines.
More than that, wherever we go, give him a day and he’d be acquainted with everyone, our home—whether a shoebox cart or a rented room, would be everybody’s shelter and safe space.
There’s so much power and strength there, here, with our Angel, and I’m learning to do as well since Bogart followed a year or two after our Angel’s passing.
And even his last breath proclaimed God and His role in our lives. He’s a blessing in disguise. He’s a blessing sent by Heavens for me to keep to and learn from.
My father had been overseas most of our lives to see us through university, and Angel became the other father as I had been the other father to him and Bogart.
I believe such exemplary manliness may not be a trait solely for men but for all humanity; and, I pray I don’t disappoint them out there watching over me.
Below is a photo of Bogart. Please, hug our Angel for me, will you?

Why does Modi celebrate Deepavali every year with the Indian Army, even though India is a secular country, and he does not celebrate other religious festivals? | First, PM Modi does celebrate Ramadan with Muslims. Second, secularism doesn't mean that he shouldn't celebrate any religious festival. It means that every individual is free to follow any religious views or ideals they want to. So If PM Modi wants to celebrate Diwali, according to his constitutional rights, he is free to do so.

Hello! My Aiwa compact disc stereo cassette receiver’s cd drawer will not fully close. It is jammed somehow but I can’t figure out how. What should I do? | Your CD tray track has something in the way or is out of sequence. Turn it off and unplug the power. Get a butter knife and slide it under the front of the tray sideways so you see the knife tip on one side and the knife hilt on the other side. SLOWLY pull on the tray holding both knife tip and handle at the same time. The tray should pull out exposing your CD. Remove it and power up the deck. The tray should close completely. If it doesn’t then you will need to either take to someone who knows how to fix it or you can see if there’s something jammed in the tray’s track preventing full travel. Good luck

Is the Indian economy going to hit a recession in the coming months? | Not in the next 18 months anyway. But eventually, yes, always.

People say that I shouldn't give Parle G to stray dogs. So, what should I give them to eat? I feed like 4-5 of them once/twice a week, need some recommendations? | Consuming foods rich in sugar can cause problems like excessive itching and scratching, dental issues, obesity and diabetes in dogs.
Parle-g is rich in glucose, which is a form of sugar, so you should avoid giving it to dogs on a regular basis. It's better to feed Marie biscuits rather than parle-g biscuits to them as they contain considerably less sugar.
Another option is to feed them dog biscuits.
You can feed them chapatis, rice, paneer, curd, bread, cooked boneless chicken or meat, biscuits that don't have too much sugar like Marie, soya nuggets, daliya, cooked eggs and vegetables.
Things you shouldn't feed them - any food containing sugar or salt or caffeine, prepared with onions or garlic, chocolate, raisins, cooked meat that contains bones, too much milk.

What percentage of East Asians have epicanthal eyelids? | Basically all Chinese have them, except for some Tibetans and some far southern Chinese. Basically all Koreans have them, except for a few areas in the far southern tips of Korea (however at least 98% of Koreans have them). Nearly all Mongols and Siberians have them.
Japan a bit different, not as common there to have a full epicanthal fold, this is because Japan has Jomon race mixed with Korean race, the Jomon didn’t have epicanthal folds.
Remember it doesn’t matter if you can see the crease on the eyelid, all an epicanthal fold, is a fold of skin towards the inner eye (like near the tear duct). Essentially the eyelid on the eye folds behind this.
Here is a good example of the epicanthal fold.
However a lot of other Asians (who aren’t Chinese/Korean) often don’t have epicanthal eyes.
For example the below Indonesian man, his eyes are not epicanthal.
In places like Japan, often a full epicanthal fold is not that common, to the degree in a Korean or Chinese. This is because Japan are a mixture of Korean and Jomon, the Jomon had an eye structure deep like Persians for example. Therefore not many Japanese have the full Korean eye, because the Jomon genes affect the eye a lot, being an opposite type eye.
Japanese who are more Korean will be more epicanthal, Japanese who are more Jomon will be less epicanthal, but most Japanese are somewhere in the middle.
Here is an example.
When a lot of Japanese open their eye like that, it simply opens, this is because the outside area of the skin that is the epicanthal fold in Koreans, is often just a much shorter and closer piece of skin in most Japanese, and thus it never forms it’s own full blown layer in front of the eye, instead it’s just carried with the main lid as they are closely joined, simply not enough skin for a proper epicanthal fold. Therefore the Japanese lid on the eye drives the entire opening in most Japanese, thus it’s not much different than the structure of Samoan, Indonesian, Native American etc.
There are some Japanese who nearly have epicanthal folds however, but they are never quite to the degree of the Korean eye. Such as the below Japanese person.
That above eye is certainly somewhat epicanthal, however it’s not properly epicanthal like a Korean or Chinese however. Because it’s still forming a sharpness on the inside and you can see the tear duct easily and the eyelid is lifting the general structure, however the above could be said to be a partial epicanthal eye.
I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but most Sherpa and southern Chinese actually don’t have a proper epicanthal fold. It’s really only seen in Korean, Mongolians and northern Chinese.Here is a northern Chinese woman below, another classic example of a true epicanthal fold. Her actual eyelid is hidden behind the front piece of skin, what it means is that she can open the inside eyelid as far as she wants, but it won’t move the outer separate layer of skin that is the epicanthal fold.
People with epicanthal folds thus are perceived often as not showing as much facial expression, because functionally their eye cannot vary as much during their expressions. Sometimes they may even be interpreted as less friendly, because they appear more serious and emotionless to other populations, this is commonly said about Chinese and especially Koreans.

Why am I not making any money on my affiliate marketing? | I had an economics professor who once said “get rich” schemes don’t work because as more and more people participate in the scheme the original opportunity no longer exists.
The same could be said for affiliate marketing. As more companies direct potential customers or visitors to third-party sites who pay per sale, cost per action, cost per click or cost per mille, the less opportunity exists to make money.
Yes, you have a fabulous site, but you’re no doubt competing against dozens of other companies to glean affiliate revenues.

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”? | Come on.

Why don't they allow any bare feet inside Burger King? | Any fast-food place is a giant place full of germs on the floors, much less the tables and restrooms. The amount of foot traffic would make anyone’s bare feet dirty and grimy.

What are your silly little parenting tricks that you're so glad you discovered? | Well, my short but sweet tricks are ones that no one has covered and I used to do!
I always got on my knees to talk to my son and listen and to be on his level and it seemed to help open him up and a hug was easier too. Now he is 17 and my same size so that is not needed until he has grandkids one day!
The other trick was on my rare day off, I spent it with him! All day, from the toys and playing in the park to the grocery store with Mom and the other things, of course watching his favorite cartoons and kids shows and some sing-songs too.
I did this at least once a week and it served us both . One day as he was getting older and had many other kid friends I competed with, he let me know that he would be OK if I skipped a Father-Son day together.
But when I offered to bring him and his play pals to get ice Cream or a beach boogie boarding session or a water-park afternoon, He always jumped on that and that sort of thing was the new routine for the POP and SON days!
He brought Brody with him everywhere for a week. Brody was a little stuffed bear from his classroom and all the children had Brody for a week and when they brought Brody back they supplied pictures and told of their Brody adventures. I was so blessed with such caring and inventive teachers for Wales.
I used to bring these teachers gifts of silk and handmade crafts when I returned from my Thailand business trips! The Teacher is the most undervalued professional that the world has neglected!
When Wales learned to dive he started wearing his swim trunks as the briefs were washed up to his ankles when he dove and he was embarrassed once in front of his girl friends!
I heard that Jerry Garcia played the lap steel on this! I miss Jerry!!!!

Why was Michael Jordan not drafted #1 overall when he was clearly the best college player at the time? Who's to blame? | He was not clearly the best college player at the time. The person considered the most dominant college player at the time was Patrick Ewing. When Jordan’s team won the NCAA Championship, it also contained Sam Perkins, James Worthy and nine others who ended up being drafted into the NBA. Which one of these players made the team champions? Was it the combination of all of them? With Jordan but not Worthy, North Carolina did not make it to the final four.
One could still make the argument that the Houston Rockets made a better choice by picking Hakeem Olajuwon. Teams do not choose in the draft based solely on who is the best player. They pick based on what player will help them win based on the team’s needs. Sam Bowie was also a big. strong player, even though he did not star in the NBA. The mistake was not picking Bowie instead of Jordan. The mistake was picking Bowie instead of Perkins or Barkley.
Remember, nobody knows the future. Michael Jordan was in the league for 6 years before he won his first championship. Although people love to use hindsight, Jordan was not an obvious choice at the time. He was actually considered a little small for forward and not skilled enough to play point guard. By 1984, NBA teams hadn’t won many championships with “two forward” ball. The team that won usually had a dominant center. That made Olajuwon and Bowie the safer choices.
-—"When I drafted him, I said, 'OK, we're gonna get a good player here,'" said Rod Thorn, the Nets president who was Chicago's GM when the Bulls had the No. 3 pick in 1984.
"I thought, he'll come in and play and help us. But to think that he would be what he turned out to be? No way. No way."——

Could the models that promoted Fyre Festival face any legal consequences for their actions? | Models such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber, all promoted Fyre Festival through things like posting on social media. However, Fyre Festival turned out to be a scam, giving out 2 slices of bread and a piece of cheese for dinner instead of the promised gourmet dinners. These models are all facing legal consequences for their actions of promoting FF. They may all receive subpoenas to appear in court through their modeling agencies.
On Monday, a judge allowed the companies representing the high profile models to be subpoenaed - which means they might have to reveal the payment documents made by Fyre’s organizer, Billy McFarland (who is currently in prison serving a 6-year sentence for his part in the fraud).
The ruling is part of a wider investigation into how McFarland received $26 million in investor funding before the festival, $5.2 million of which was paid out to the models to participate in promotional activity, because the funds have gone “missing”.
Example: Kendall Jenner made $275k in January 2017 to promote Fyre Fest on Instagram and draw attention to the artists from Kanye West's record label who were billed to appear.
