How do I counter the statement "whatever that requires other people's labour is not a basic human right"? | How do I counter the statement "whatever that requires other people's labour is not a basic human right"?
You back up and look at the context of the statement. Almost always, this argument is about changing the subject.
Lately, I’m seeing this statement used to counter the claim that “health care is a right”. In this context, the question is whether or not we should do the things needed to make it universal- and as a response to this, the argument “if it requires someone else’s labor it’s not a right” is accurate in a narrow sense, and a deflection; a way to avoid arguing the question on its merits.
The narrow sense in which it is accurate is the one that most (but not all) of the bill of rights’ rights are articulated- that is, negatively. The First Amendment, for example, protects your right to free speech not by giving you anything tangible, but by constraining the government from regulating your speech. So, most of the rights in the bill of rights are basically things you could do before, but now the government can’t tell you not to do those things.
But that’s not to say that the 6th amendment (from whence your Miranda rights derive) is so defined; the part that entitles you to counsel for your defense actually does mean the justice system is obliged to furnish you justice- and that means by requiring lawyers to be available even if you can’t pay for one (and it also means the courts can compel your neighbors to serve on juries in said trial). There, the 6th entitles a criminal defendant some measure of justice, and furnishing it involves other peoples’ work.
Some rights are defined negatively, but not all of them are.
So, when the guy who says “but if it requires someone else’s labor it’s not a right”, he’s changing the subject from the original one, into an argument about what rights are and aren’t. It’s a way to derail the question without arguing on its merits.
Looking back to the original context, the one in which someone argued that “health care is a right”… here’s what I’d like to see happen: Just stop arguing that it’s a right, what you really mean is that we should enact policy to make health care universally available. The more you argue that it’s a right, the more you’re going to be derailed by trolls bearing semantic arguments about what rights are and what they aren’t.
If you really believe that <the thing you want to see> should be treated like it’s just as vital or fundamental as any constitutional right, don’t get sidetracked by semantic arguments that don’t have anything to do with the merits of <the thing>.
Keep your eye on the ball, remember what you’re arguing for.

Who represents the GOP in 2021? | The obvious answer here is probably Trump, but I’m seeing more and more Americans becoming tired, irritated, and weary of his narcissistic, overblown ego. It seems (to me personally) he is addicted to power, and he has made more than a few Presidential decisions to which I (again, personally) was adamantly opposed.
Time will tell in 2024 if Americans are ready to return to the Trump train.

How would you analyze condensing (gas to liquid) and boiling (liquid to gas) from the point of view of the first law of thermodynamics? | As per the first law of thermodynamics, the heat imparted goes to increase in temperature and increase in the volume. The increase in temperature is considered as the increase in the internal kinetic energy and the change in volume is considered as change in potential energy as the volume change involves increased distance between the molecules. In some cases the increased distance between the molecules leads in change in structure of the body, converting it from a solid into a fluid (melting) or from a fluid into a vapour (vapourising). The increased volume of the body, involves more work in overcoming the pressure.
So, in the case of condensing and boiling, the heat involved is used only in changing its volume, which also changes its heat content (as the temperature is constant during the process).

I actually had someone call these two staunch Conservatives, Communist or Far-Left Radical Socialist this last week.
FYI: Eisenhohwer was the Supreme Commander of Allied Force for “D-Day” that brought about the end of the war in Europe in WWII.
Eisenhower is also the most popular Republican president in American history during the most popular decade in modern times, the 1950s.

What would happen if we could use 100% of our brain? | The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. Many believe that a person only ever uses 10 percent of their brain. Is there any truth to this?
A person’s brain determines how they experience the world around them. The brain weighs about 3 pounds and contains around 100 billion neurons — cells that carry information.
According to a survey from 2013, around 65 percent of Americans believe that we only use 10 percent of our brain.
But this is just a myth, the majority of the brain is almost always active.
The 10 percent myth was also debunked in a study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
One common brain imaging technique, called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), can measure activity in the brain while a person is performing different tasks. (I loved the explanations in the video below)
Using this and similar methods, researchers show that most of our brain is in use most of the time, even when a person is performing a very simple action.
A lot of the brain is even active when a person is resting or sleeping.

Should I purchase Marrow notes or prepare notes by myself as a second-year MBBS student? | As a 2nd year med student, your first priority should be standard text books. Thay give a different perspective of the subject per se. Read them. Revise them. Yes you can watch videos to have a better understanding but don't replace them with your marrow notes or notes froma ny institute. Its like use the notes for the better understanding of the textbooks.
Another thing is medicine is ever changing ever growing, so many things might change so keep an eye on them as you reach final year.
Study concentrically. Don't jump into things because everyone else is doing. Its important to find out thing that works for you best. Know that first and keep rocking.

My family wants to put my cat down. She started being sick a couple of weeks ago by throwing up and peeing everywhere. I don’t want to put her down. Will the veterinarian let me put my cat down even if she is not sick? | Jessica -
I hate that you are feeling this way. I have a few questions first and these are questions that a vet might also ask:
Has she had a bloodwork and urinalysis done to see if it is a UTI/kidney issues/pancreatitis? Have you tried giving her hairball treatments? Have you tried changing her food? How many litterboxes do you have and where are they placed in the house? Do they have lids? Do you have cat trees or places where she can get up high in your house?
All of these questions and more will most likely be asked of you when you take your cat to the vet if they are not your regular vet because she does not sound healthy to me she sounds sick. They might also offer you ultrasound and endoscopy depending on where you live and the resources you have available. At the first sign of peeing outside the box a cat should be taken in for a urinalysis to rule out medical issues. I don’t know if you have had urinary issues but I have and they HURT. Cystitis, UTI, crystals all HURT so this may be a way of showing you that something is wrong: look mom, see me I need help.
In one of my clinics a lady stormed in, plunked her cat in a carrier on the counter and said 'he's peeing everywhere and I can't take it anymore put him to sleep' we had not seen this client or cat before and I had not worked with this vet for very long so I went into the back room to talk to the vet about it. After going back up and talking to the client more she had not done anything medical for the problem, no urinalysis to rule out medical problems, she didn't add any litterboxes, she didn't do anything. So the vet refused to put the cat to sleep. I talked the client into an exam and urinalysis and bingo the cat has crystals and the problem is easily solved with a diet change.
There has also been times when we have offered to have the person sign the animal over to us and we find the animal a home. Vets have morals and they took an oath to *help* the animals in any way they can. I work /have worked with many many vets in many different capacities via volunteer work, fostering, school, work etc. and there is only one that *might* put a healthy animal to sleep (again see above, I don’t think your cat is healthy). I am sure vets exist that do that but I don't think it is that many.
All of this is to say that it depends on you. You took responsibility for this cat when you adopted it and if you have not done any of the things mentioned above then you need to. If you have then good for you and please call your vet and talk to them about what the next steps might be. Keep me updated, k?

Why is #ISRO trending on Twitter? | In our generation not everyone is unhappy,some are happy also..Like in my last answer i mentioned i m such a boring person everyone started consoling me in comments,but in actuality I am very happy..only in chats or stories or quora answers I seem like a unhappy person but in reality I m a crazy person…
For those who are unhappy these could be following reasons-:
1.They might be having their exams,like some people are attempting JEE,NEET or other competitive exams..It is completely ok if it doesn't get clear in first attempt…just learn from your mistakes and work hard for the same..
2. Some people are not able to focus on studies because there are lots of distractions, such as social media so ultimately one can see the affect on their results…
3.Others might be unhappy because they cannot focus on their passion as some of them are forced by parents to choose particular subjects…
4.For few their love life might be screwed up,i guess….👍🙂
Rest u people just let me know in comments section below..
This flower was looking just so pretty,so i added and it has nothing to take with the above answer😂

What is the weirdest object you've ever found? | Well I'm into Steampunk so I've come across a lot of weird objects for sale so these are things I've found for free:
WEIRDEST OBJECT FOUND BURIED
My dad was digging out at the back of the house to put in a new patio and he found a very weird key. This key has a head like a utilities key (hollow triangular) but is made of greenish yellow metal (not brass) and is obviously old. We thought it was either a big clock key or a gas key, but after a bit of research found that those are square and hollow, so I still have this, any ideas let me know in the comments.
WEIRDEST OBJECT FOUND WHEN WE CLEARED MY GREAT UNCLE'S HOUSE
My great uncle's house was a typical old persons house, 1950's detached in the the Nottingham suburbs. My great uncle had been stationed in north Africa during WW2 as an engineer/signals operative. After the war he worked for Ericsons/Plessey in Beeston. He was also a bit of a hoarder so there was a lot of strange stuff in his house mostly electrical stuff, he'd also modified the electrics in his house to the point they were dangerous, but that's a different story, so of the stuff we found:
4 TV aerials in the attic pointed at 4 different transmitters so he could pick up different regional programmes (in the days of analogue TV).
A drawer full of paper remembrance day poppies (he had never been a poppy seller he'd just kept about 30 years worth of them).
Calendars dating back to 1989.
Over 300 self recorded VHS tapes of just about every TV show that had ever been broadcast by the BBC or ITV
But none of these count as the weird object, the weird object was a late 60s/early 70s high-end miniature reel-to-reel tape recorder (by miniature the spools were 3" diameter instead of 6" so not a spy one) there were no spare tape reels for this and it looked brand new in its leatherette case with the instructions and a spare jack plug with old wire and solder on it, no damage or age at all on the recorder. The tape was somewhere in the middle, so we plugged it in rewound the tape and listened, there was a recording on the tape of the strangest noises you have ever heard it was across between dub-step, dial up internet and the tardis noise from Doctor Who.
Now we enter the realm of speculation, with the spare jack plug that was in the case my best guess is that he wasn't recording sound with it, we think he was possibly trying to record by hooking it up to the TV (I remember him talking about having modified his TV) but I'm not even sure if that is possible, if it was that then it looks like my great uncle was experimenting with his own video recording format just before the VHS/BetaMax format war. My question is this (please answer in the comments if you have any ideas) for someone who had good electronics knowledge would it have been possible to build some type of interface to record from a black and white analogue TV to a reel-to-reel recorder? If not does anyone have any ideas what he might have been doing with it?

Do you believe in karma? Why or why not? | Yes because I’ve experienced it myself. I used to doubt about the existence of karma because I thought it didn’t make sense to get rewards/punishments based on deeds that we forget. I also thought the idea of destiny was absurd as everything could be explained scientifically and are related with probability. For instance, people who live on mountain tend to have far higher chance of getting killed by landslide compared to whose who don’t. People who drive without seatbelt tend to have far higher chance of dying from accident compared to those who wear the seatbelt. They’re logical. And yet, I now believe in destiny 100% without any doubt. I still believe that efforts and decisions can affect our fate but destiny rules above all. For instance, person A has to work hard to achieve success while person B doesn’t have to work hard to achieve success and person C won’t be successful no matter how hard he work. Imagine if our destiny is like one of them but we don’t know which one. The safest way is to work hard and don’t give up.
Anyway, here’s my personal experience that made me believe in karma and destiny :
In 2014, I received a new neighbor at the front of my house. The neighbor’s car made a very loud beeping noise everytime they key was being unlocked/locked. The problem that I had was that somehow the neighbor loved to get in/out the car constantly in the middle of the night and it often woke me up with a shock. Even worse, they loved to go out in the middle of the night and come back at around 3–4 am. My bedroom was facing the front side so the noise could be heard really loud. For the sake of keeping my heart and mental healthy, I had to wear anti-noise earplugs when I slept. Not only that, but I also had to wear anti-noise headset at the same time because without one of them, the noise could still penetrate really loud into my ears. It was very uncomfortable. I couldn’t move when I slept because of the headset. The headset also made me sweat because it was really hot. Not only that, the earbuds made my ear holes feel irritating and hot. I had no choice but to do it to survive. There were times when I tried to intimidate my neighbors like intentionally opening the curtain and let them know that I was starring at them, but they still liked to get in/out of the car in the middle of the night.
After 3 years of torment, they finally moved away. I was very happy and thought that was the end of my nightmare, but 2 days later new neighbors came. Remember, the noisy neighbor that moved away was my front neighbor; these new neighbors are at the back of my house. I moved my bedroom to the back of my house 2 months before the noisy neighbor at the front moved away, though I could still hear the loud beeping noise so I still slept with headset and earbud. 2 days after my front neighbor moved away, I started hearing very loud noise from a woman and her kid in the morning. I was sleeping without earbud and headset because I assumed there would be no more noisy neighbor. These new neighbors were extremely noisy. Everyday, day and night, they would always scream and shout. Their super loud voices made my heart beat really fast and I often got tired because of their voices. Because of this, I had to go back sleeping with earbuds and headset.
A few weeks later, I started hearing super loud music in the middle of the night. At first, I assumed it was these new neighbors who played it, but then I learned that it’s not. In my country, it’s culturally acceptable for people to play loud music in the middle of the night. There are people who make a living by playing loud music at night where people would pay to dance together. The music was so loud that it made my furniture vibrate and my earplugs and headset could not prevent the noise from torturing my soul. They used to play it 3 days a week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday.) in the middle of the night but thankfully, they now only play it once/twice every 2 weeks and they stop the music at around 10 pm (It used to be in the middle of the night.). It’s still torturing to hear, but at least it’s not as bad as it was. The music is also not as loud as it used to be. It still makes my furniture vibrate, but not as extreme as it was. They stopped playing the music during COVID-19 lockdown, but now they’re back and ever since the lockdown, the music volume is not as loud as it was.
Just as I thought it was double bad luck, there was another one. In my working place, the neighbor also liked to play super loud music that made the furniture vibrate almost everyday. It was so loud that it often gave me headache and panic attack. So imagine that I had 3 bad lucks at the same time, all related to noise, that came from different sources. I don’t think that’s a coincidence, especially when considering that the new neighbor at the back of my house moved in 2 days after the neighbor at the front of my house moved away. They are too coincidental that it cannot be considered as coincidence anymore. It’s not scientific but it’s real. I have witnessed it myself so I believe it.
At this point I started to think to myself why is this happening to me. Why have I been tortured by loud noises from different sources ? What is the point ? After having much considerations and researches, I came with a conclusion that karma is the most logical explanation to this. The loud noises are meant to make my higher self (Myself regardless of the incarnations and memories.) learn from the past deeds. Even though I don’t remember my past life, the decisions that I made in my past lives were affected by my higher self and therefore, my higher self should experience the result of what my higher self did to others.
Also, I have had some accurate fortune tellings from some tarot card readers and they all believe in karma. Sometimes the cards suggest that I have to face the consequence from my actions in the past (karma). There are many tarrot card readers out there on YouTube and perhaps you might want to try one in order to believe it. I have also read about Vedic numerology (Which I believe in because I’ve witnessed the proofs.) and it also talks about karma.
I believe that some people are destined to witness the proof of karma itself while others don’t have the opportunity to witness karma directly. This explains why destiny is often concealed with scientific processes. For instance, large number of people don’t “magically” die at the same time. They die because of scientific process like natural disaster or a weapon attack. Large number of people don’t “magically” become poor. They become poor at the same time because of processes that can be explained logically like stock market crash or like the COVID-19 pandemic. These processes are governed by destiny but are made to look scientific so that people who are destined to not see the proof of karma would not find out that things happen because of destiny/karma.

Why is Dany's reaction to Viserys's death considered to be a sign of her madness? Sansa, for example, also smiled when she took out someone who used to brutalize her. | Danys’ cold response to Viserys’ hot demise has something like a parallel in Sansa’s cold response to the death of Ser Hugh of the Vale in the Tourney of the Hand. Hugh dies a horrific death (a splinter from Gregor’s lance in his throat) right in front of Sansa’s feet. Jeyne Poole, sitting next to Sansa, reacts as you might expect them both to. She weeps hysterically (apologies if that word gives offence, but it seems appropriate in this case. Jeyne’s tears really do come from a deep, visceral part of her). And Sansa? She just sits there, hands in her lap, and thinks ‘That’s sad’. I think GRRM (in the books) wants us to notice the contrast with Jeyne and the parallel with Dany. Not a complete parallel. Sansa is not Ser Hugh’s sister. She doesn’t even know him. But still. . . My point is not that Sansa is mad (or that Dany isn’t), but that the line between sanity and insanity is not always firm and clear. People who criticize HBO for making Dany cross this line too quickly make two dubious assumptions: 1) the line between sanity and insanity is always clear, and 2) people never cross this line abruptly or unexpectedly in real life. There are such things as psychotic episodes and events.

Is it true that something big is going to happen between India and China at Ladakh? | I don’t think so. China is more averse to risk a war now. Its reputation as a responsible nation is in shambles. China’s leaders need something to distract the dissatisfied Chinese from what is really happening to them. It may be job loss, dubious recovery from economic slowdown, disease-death etc. China needs some diversion for its citizens.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | Suppose, you may have declared an emergency landing and you did. Safely, you landed a plane. But did you did this or the passenger did this?
Same example like this, the hijackers did to collapse the World Trade Centre By crashing 2 planes. That is American Airlines Flight 11 and United Flight 175.
Edit: Wrong Answer.
1) That is because of the speed of the aircraft. The hijackers increased the power of the aircrafts to crash the World Trade Centre.
2) Aircrafts are too big and if they crash in the WTC, the WTC collapse. If you look at their size, It is too big. That results the reason why WTC got collapsed. Because of Speed and How much cm does the fuselage weight.

What do you think about the new Marvel comics characters Safespace, Snowflake, Trailblazer, B Negative and Screentime from “The New Warriors?” | So, you remember when comic books first started noticing that non-white people existed, and they began making black and native american characters that were just a mish-mash of stereotypes with no character beyond that? “Oh, he’s called thunderbird and he wears a headress and his power is Super Tracking?”
This is the LGBT Equivalent of that.
“He’s call Safespace, he’s a man wearing pink, and his power is to create little bubbles that let him hide from the world” is an insulting parody of queer people, and “Snowflake the enby that shoots actual snowflakes” isn’t far off. It’s insulting, and that’s speaking as a trans person. If you’re going to make an NB character, do it like any character, in the sense that you don’t just log onto tumblr, pick three words at random and call it a day.
Also “a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying.” I bet they just punch villains. Who bets they just punch villains?
As for the others? I mean, they’re not offensive, but they’re just really dumb. They’re the Gen-Z equivalent of that character with sunglasses who rides a skateboard and won’t stop saying “radical”. They’re so obviously trying to be down with the kids it hurts. “A Meme-Obsessed super teen” made my eyes roll so hard I could sue for medical costs.
Just, wow. This is offensive and insulting and also Poochie level “hello fellow teens”.
So no. Not a fan.

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? | I think your next question would be ‘why PM Modi is vegetarian? does he not like muslims?’
When a person become prime minister he should have a quality to respect all the religion and he does but it doesn’t mean he should celebrate festival of all religion. And like every Indian, he is also a free man so you should not be the one to tell him about with whom he should celebrate diwali or Ramadan. It’s his choice or decision with whom he want to celebrate, this thing has no relationship with his position as PM

If the Avengers Hulk fought King Kong, who would win? | Hulk, easily. Here’s why…
King Kong is simply a gigantic gorilla, so his strength is that of a 100 foot gorilla, or however tall he is. If he’s 100 feet tall, then he’s about 20 times the size of a real gorilla. Real gorilla’s are roughly ten times stronger than humans, putting 100 foot Kong at about 2,000 times stronger than a human.
If we’re generous, and use the world-record bench press of 1,075 pounds as our human strength starting point, that would mean King Kong could bench 1,075 x 10 x 20, which equals 215,000 pounds, or 107 tons.
Hulk’s STARTING strength, when he first “Hulks up,” is about 100 tons or more. So when the fight starts, King Kong will be about equal in strength with the Hulk. Then, as Kong hits him, and pisses him off more, Hulk gets bigger and stronger, and pretty soon, he's throwing Kong around like a rag doll, and that’s with a really generous strength estimate for Kong.
That estimate, that gorillas are 10 times stronger than humans, is probably not based on the strongest human who has ever lived. It is more likely based on normal humans. The average bench press for a normal man is about 135 pounds. That sounds low, but that’s likely due to a lot of guys grossly exaggerating how much they can bench. I have benched 210 a few times, and that was when I was at my strongest. Currently, I could probably put up like 170, and I am a fairly big guy, 5′11″ 225 lbs. If you know someone that can really bench like 300 or more, they are very strong. The 1,075 pound bench press world record is freakin insane lol. So, if gorillas are 10 times stronger than humans, and the human average has a 135 pound bench press, and Kong is 20 times stronger than gorillas, then Kong’s max bench is 135 x 10 x 20, which is 27,000 pounds, or 13.5 tons. Yikes, by that reckoning, Hulk would win in a nasty curb-stomp.

Which rock band has had the most messed up/dysfunctional history? | I’ve scanned the previous answers and I mostly see bands nominated for their internal conflicts, and I think that misses the point. The point is that dysfunction means they couldn’t produce quality music anymore.
Not Really Dysfunction
I’ll use Fleetwood Mac as one example because they’ve been cited in this thread. And, yes, they had internal conflicts.
But, their dysfunction never interfered with their music. In fact, they mined their internal conflicts to create iconic songs.
They were at the height of dysfunction when they produced one of the best albums of all time: Rumours. They isolated in Sausalito, the girls stayed at The Inn Above Tides and the boys sleeping on cots at The Record Plant Studio. They never recorded together. So, to my mind, that’s just internal strife. Countless bands match that profile.
To my mind band dysfunction needs to mean they could no longer produce quality music and with that in mind, I nominate:
The Beach Boys
They were so good in their prime, 1966, that they produced an album (Pet Sounds) that was so iconic that it changed The Beatles. John and Paul listened to it over and over, knowing that the pop world had changed. Production value levels had to be raised. Musicality had to be stepped up.
John and Paul even got the subtle “betcha can’t do this” jab at The Beatles with the inclusion of the old folk song “Sloop John B.” It was a silly song, insane to put on a pop album of the day, but Brian Wilson arranged it so well and The Beach Boys sang it in such great harmony that it was like a middle finger to The Beatles.
Brian Wilson had issued an “I dare you” to The Beatles.
Of course, The Beatles “got it” and stepped up their game with St. Pepper’s, and after that The Beach Boys faded away. And The Beatles grew and morphed. They never went on tour to play nothing but “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” day after day.
The dysfunction of The Beach Boys destroyed their creativity and productivity. So, I’ll close by writing it again: that is the definition of “most dysfunctional.”
True Dysfunctional Destroys the Band
Dysfunctional means “no longer able to function to capacity.” Most of the other bands mentioned in this thread continued to pump out top-selling albums for decades after what others cite as their dysfunction.
Back to the first example, Fleetwood Mac, they got back together decades later for a very successful tour.
Meanwhile, The Beach Boys remained a parody of themselves.
Tom Petty Cited The Beach Boys
I saw Tom Petty in an interview a long time ago and he was asked why they never played their old standards when on tour. They would tour on their newest album, throwing in only a handful of the old favorites.
Tom Petty said he wanted to make sure his band never became The Beach Boys. He said they were one of the most talented of all time, but then became a parody of themselves and toured to do nothing more than play the same only Sixties song over and over to aging Baby Boomers. Tom Petty always grew musically.
The dysfunction of The Beach Boys stopped them from growing. I’m not going to list all of their dysfunctions because it’s a long and nasty list and it killed the creativity of a great music creator.
That is truly the most messed up/dysfunctional.

As a stay-at-home parent, how much help do you get from your partner when running the home and looking after the kids? | It’s not a babysitting job. You’re the stay home home parent. So you aren’t making any financial contribution to the home? Tell that to the tax collector and bank when they are threatening to foreclose because spouse isn’t bringing home enough. Payment? You get free room and board. In return you take care of the housekeeping. Male or female. And you get to take care of the kids as a bonus. This is the most non- sexist job there is. My father worked. He may have been the provider, but my mother was there to comfort me when I had it with the bullies, took care of me when I was sick. She was rewarded with my undying love. My father. He was an extra place setting at the dinner table. I certainly wasn’t gonna do anything he wanted me to do. He had to go through the woman who raised me. What more can you possibly want than your kids love. You want to make it a financial issue? Let’s see how much more a financial burden are you. You’re another mouth to feed, only your old enough to nag nag nag the poor spouse whose breaking his/her back putting food on the table.

Sometimes when I'm on a WhatsApp call, the app suddenly says call on hold. Do you know why? | It has happened to me several times and the reason is clear; when you are on a WhatsApp call and the app suddenly says “call on hold,” it is because the other person is getting a phone call.
While their phone is ringing, the WhatsApp call remains on hold, then as soon as the other person ends the phone call, the WhatsApp call will get back to normal and the quality will be improved.

“Yes I love some else, I love the real Sameer, not the alcoholic one” Sweta replied with wet eyes.
This is the 4th day in a row when Sameer came back home with fully dunked. He saw the tears in Sweta’s eyes and it hurts him a lot. Next day in the morning…
Sameer opened his eyes slowly. He was on his bed without office shoes. He understood that Sweta helped her last night too. The smell of his favorite food from the kitchen makes him fall in love with Sweta again. He went to the kitchen and in a low pitch on Sweta’s ear he said
“O allu ke parathe! wow love you darling, Is something special today?” Sameer added.
“No nothing” Sweta replied with a fake smile.
This is the day of their first wedding anniversary and Sweta pack Sameer office lunchbox with a broken heart.
In evening, the phone rings***
“Hello” Sweta asked. “This is me, Sameer. Today our boss loved your handmade food and he invited us for a dinner. I will be late so our boss will send a car to receive you in just one hour. Please wear a nice dress” Sameer tell her in a very exciting manner.

“Ha Ha, you thought I forgot our first anniversary? No, not at all darling” I love you more than anything in this world” Sameer replied.
“Really, I don’t think so. You are a liar, you love someone else now” Sweta replied in a low sound. “Leave it, tell me where is my gift?” Sweta asked.
Sameer put an envelope on the table and said: “This is your gift”.
After having that romantic dinner Sweta was expecting an expensive gift like gold ring or diamond jewellery. But it’s a paper envelope, she opened it, there is a paper with a note, she read it and started crying.
The note was
“Sorry for the last night, nothing is more precious yet painful than your tears. The only gift I can give you today is the promise, Promise not to drink alcohol. I love you so so much. Please never leave me alone” :)

What exercise can lose face fat? | **How To Lose Face Fat?**
Spot reduction or targeted fat loss is not possible, whether it’s face fat or belly fat, meaning you can’t target fat from any specific area. Atleast for now.
And if you have fat on your face, it means there are high chances of fat on the rest of your body as well. Which means, the most effective way to reduce face fat is by reducing overall body fat, and gradually, the face fat will also decrease.
Follow the following steps to reduce face fat
Step 1 – create a calorie deficit by consuming 300-400 calories less than your maintenance calories, protein in this range (1.5-2g/kg of body weight).
Find maintenance from any online calculator by filling in your basic details such as height, age, weight & activity level. Let’s say your maintenance comes out to be 2000, make a nutrition plan for 1700 kcal and test it for a week and adjust accordingly.
Step 2 – Engage in resistance training, it will preserve muscle, increase strength, and improve body composition.
Step 3 – Increase your daily energy expenditure by walking 5-10k steps.
Step 4 – Finally, drink enough water to minimize water retention.
If you follow these steps for a few months, you will definitely see improvements in your face fat in addition to reduction in other body fat from other areas as well.
And even if your face still appears fuller, it might be due to your facial structure, possibly because of genetics. So, instead of worrying about your face and living in an illusionary world of what a perfect face looks like, accept what you got, and focus on the things that matter in life.
At the end of the day, you won’t be recognized in this world for your face, but for your work.
Hope it helps.

Why were U.S. citizen children of undocumented immigrants again left out of the stimulus package? | “Why were U.S. citizen children of undocumented immigrants again left out of the stimulus package?”
This question is based on a false premise.
According to the United States Department of Homeland Security, United States Customs and Border Protection ([LINKED_TEXT: Requirements for Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Visas] [URL: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/visa-waiver-program/requirements-immigrant-and-nonimmigrant-visas]), there is only one way to become an immigrant in the USA. A person that intends to immigrate must apply for and be granted an “Immigrant Visa”. Being granted an “Immigrant Visa” gives a person “Permanent Residence” status. Once they complete that process, they are, by definition, both “legal” and “documented”; unless and until they complete that process, they are not an “immigrant” (at best, they are an “intending immigrant”).
Another phrase for “immigrant” is “Lawful Permanent Resident”. There is no way to be an “illegal Lawful Permanent Resident” or an “undocumented Lawful Permanent Resident”.
The phrase “undocumented immigrant” is a self-nullifying oxymoron which attempts to describe a person that does not, and cannot, exist. It’s as wrong as calling someone an “uncivilized gentleman”.
If an “undocumented immigrant” cannot exist, there is no way they can have children, citizens or not, and there’s no way that the non-existent children could be included in the stimulus package.

Are school clubs, MUN, and volunteering enough extra curricular to get into Harvard? | Current Princeton student here, and my advice would be to think about quality rather than quantity of extracurriculars.
Let me explain…
Top universities like Harvard are not so much interested in students who have a long list of activities on their resume as much as students who truly excel in their chosen areas in interest.
This means that deep involvement (positions of leadership and commitment of time) and measurable successes in just a few activities will likely give you a better shot at admission than simply joining activities just to list them on your application.

Whats the craziest thing that's happened to you at work? | Short version: A coworker & I caught our customer’s employees using social media to prey on children.
About 15 years ago, I worked for a computer-security startup that made a traffic-analysis network appliance. Our device would record all of a company’s network traffic, in 15-minute chunks, and then do careful pattern analysis on each chunk, to detect hacker activity. The box was capable of finding pretty fancy attacks, like HTTP reverse tunnels, buffer overruns, and daisy-chained SSH sessions. It was a very cool gadget.
Late in my time at the company, we had a trial deployment at a Fortune 100 company, it was a good opportunity for us. We’d setup our box in the HQ’s datacenter, our sales engineer would check on it over a couple of days, then he’d write a report for the customer, detailing our security findings. Usually, the box would find sorta minor things, like sensitive data being sent out to an employee’s home account, contrary to the company’s security policy.
After we delivered our report to Fortune 100, though, their IT people rejected it, saying we were just wrong. Our appliance had found a lot of AOL Instant Messenger traffic, which was blocked per policy on that company’s network. Supposedly, we, our device, and our report were all just wrong. So our young sales engineer came back to Boston, with his tail between his legs. That evening, just as the office was clearing out for home, the CTO asked me to help my crestfallen coworker to fix up his report, so that the customer might accept it.
So, Josh & I sat down with his laptop, and I asked him, “OK, what the hell happened?”
Josh said, “Y’know, I actually know where they put the proxy that lets the AIM traffic in. There’s this little closet with a network drop in it, I saw a PC on a shelf in there, and we’re seeing the AIM sessions come in through that address…”
“Whoah, wait, wait… Aren’t they blocking AIM at the gateway? Why would they have a proxy that bypasses the gateway? I don’t understand, what’s going on?”
Josh sighed. “Look, their main security guy wants us in there, he asked us to put the box in because he thinks the IT people are up to no good. He and the IT head don’t get along.”
“So the IT director is protecting his people, even though they’re getting away with using AOL at the office?”
“Yeah, looks like it.”
“Huh, weird. OK, whaddya got? Show me.”
Josh pulls up a packet capture on his screen. It was incomplete, but I could see bits and pieces of HTML, with scraps of front-page text: “AOL Instant Mes… Welcome,… “, etc. There was a list of what looked like people’s nicknames.
I asked, “What’re these nicknames? I’ve never used AOL.”
“Those are the user’s friends who’re logged on right then. They’re like user account names.”
“Ohhh, so OK, we could look them up on Google, see if any of them work at the company, right? That would prove your report is right.” I peered at his screen, and copied one of the friend-names into my laptop’s search-screen.
The top hit was a Myspace account page. I clicked on the link, and reading a bit I realized the AOL friend was a seven-year-old boy in the Philippines. Crap, clearly not our customer’s employee. OK, next friend’s name…
Next is another MySpace account. The picture shows a plump teenager in her pink bedroom, teddy bear on the bed. She looked to be about 14, sweet and shy kid. We looked at a few more.
“Ugh, Josh, this sucks. We’re not getting any employees. All these people have in common, is they all use AIM, and they all have MySpace pages. What else can we do? I want to show this is company-internal traffic. Do the packet captures show anything else?”
Josh had been looking up friend names right next to me. He looked at me with a bleak expression on his face. “Don, you’re missing it.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don… They’re all kids.”
Oopsie. Shirt, fork, Goddamn. Yup, all kids. No wait, one exception: A 22-year-old with the friend name, “Badbunnysex.” Now, that was a sinking feeling.
I sighed, and said, “OK, let’s look up the employee who loaded the AIM page.”
We found his weblog, second hit on Google. His front page said he was a senior IT admin. Check. He prattled on a bit about his hobbies and interests, just as people do on Facebook nowadays. Then, a chilling line: “Y’know, I wish I could be like Gepetto in the Pinocchio movie. I wish I could make a little boy out of wood, and be his friend.” Check.
This line might have been innocent, except for his friends badbunnysex and the little boy in the Philippines. We said, “Ewwww,” and “Oh, no.” We worked a few more hours that night, piling up the evidence.
The next day, I took what we’d found to our Sales director, laid it out. We wanted to go to the police. But, our Sales guy said no. He said, “Look, if they buy the product after the trial, we can ask the CEO about taking this to law enforcement. But we can’t embarrass a customer prospect.”
“But, come on, it’s little kids! We can’t just drop it!”
But in fact, yes we had to drop it. We didn’t have anything conclusive showing harm. All we had was adults chatting up little kids, seemingly with creepy intent. Not enough. And that was that. It’s been sixteen years now, and I still feel terrible about it.
The startup failed about nine months later, as startups do. That customer is still chugging along. I don’t know about the creepy IT department. But our cool gadget wasn’t enough.

Do Vyvanse and cannabis conflict at all? Will I die or severely hurt myself if I smoke cannabis while on 30mg of Vyvanse? | That weed loud?
Vyvanse is a stimulant. It would almost definitely been completely fine to smoke or use marijuana 50 years ago with Vyvanse. However, with the up-and-coming [LINKED_TEXT: ridiculously potent strains] [URL: https://weedrepublic.com/blogs/reviews/the-ultimate-guide-to-thc-vape-juice-liquid-thc-thc-drops-in-2019?_pos=5&_sid=89376ff8a&_ss=r], concentrates, edibles, etc (which sometimes contain 96% THC) it’s probably no longer safe. This is because if you take a huge dosage of THC alongside a stimulant like Vyvanse, you are increasing your chances of something like a cardiac arrest occurring. I wouldn’t say it was massively likely, but it’s not impossible, and therefore you should exercise extreme caution when mixing very high potency cannabis or cannabis products, with Vyvanse.
I’m not a doctor, but I would say you’d probably be fine with a nice [LINKED_TEXT: mild indica] [URL: https://weedrepublic.com/blogs/strains/top-indica-strains-for-beginners?_pos=1&_sid=ab4e09d06&_ss=r], that you’re smoking. If you’re absolutely set on doing this, get a very weak strain and smoke it in a bong. This means you’re not smoking any tobacco either, which obviously also affects the heart. My advice is to have INCREDIBLY SMALL DOSAGES with incredibly weak weed. If you smoke something that’s too strong with Vyvanse, not only is there a chance you will become anxious, you may affect your heart. The anxiety may even make the problem worse, and eventually, as I said before, you could have a cardiac arrest.
Just be careful, and remember that the amount of THC in the average product has gone up by 10 times, and weed nowadays is not the same thing it was even 20 years ago, let alone 50 years ago. If you’re asking this for medical purposes and not recreational purposes, you could also try a cream, which wouldn’t really get you high, but would give you the medical benefits of THC/CBD, while also not affecting your heart.

Do vocal exercises really help your singing become better? | Oh, absolutely, if you are doing technically correct exercises, or aiming for them with a teacher's guidance, they will. They will improve the quality and resonance and health of your speaking voice as well.
Singing should be done first for your own pleasure, joy and satisfaction. Don't worry about what others will think. If you end up having the best voice possible, it won't matter if you can stand on a big stage. You will gain confidence enough to sing in front of family, friends, and even gatherings or open mic nights, karaoke competitions for fun. Those will probably satisfy your passion just fine. You never know how good you can be at something until you really, really try for years. Do it for yourself and see how it goes. You never know, life is funny, and if you do it and be happy about it, maybe someday it can make you even happier. But one step at a time :)

Is organ similar enough to piano where a piano player that doesn’t know organ can just switch over to organ and it would be easy? | No, no, no.
If you can play the piano, you can play one manual on the organ as the arrangement of the keys is the same. As long as you remember to pull out the stops for the sound you want on that manual - no stops means no sound at all. The basic organ sound is diapason so you can get the basic sound just by pulling Diapason 8′ on that manual - that will get air flowing through the 8 foot diapason pipes, but you can pull more and get more different sounds. Different organs vary on what stops they have so an organist playing a different organ for the first time will need to find out what there is and where they all are.
But that’s about as far as it goes. An organ will have at least two manuals, maybe three or four, so you can get different combinations of sounds by changing between manuals. You can also change stops while you’re playing to vary the sound produced, and it is normally possible to set combinations of stops so you can do this without having to pull or push each one manually - combinations are set on pistons. So learn how the pistons work.
And we haven’t even started on the pedalboard. The lowest notes on the organ are produced by playing the pedalboard, which looks like a giant-size keyboard which you play with your feet. And you can’t see what you’re doing.
No wonder organists refer to “mere pianists”. Learning the organ is a far more complicated affair than the piano.

Is there a reason, other than cost, to not use GFCI outlets in all outlets, rather than just kitchen and bath? | I have (almost) all my outlets protected by RCD breakers on their ring mains. In the UK, of course, hardly any bathrooms meet the requirement to have mains outlets installed.
The exception being the large freezer in the barn. As it is possible to get spurious tripping of an RCD, it’s a bit silly to waste all that food, if that happened when away for a few days.
That’s the only reason that I can think of NOT using RCD protection on sockets - spurious trips could be disproportionately damaging. Might remove the power from the home security system, for example. Might stop the heating system keeping the property above 5C in Winter. So there are some systems that warrant a different approach to electrical safety.
Some houses (especially smaller ones) only have one single breaker powering the ring main that feeds all the mains sockets (outlets) in the property. So a single RCD (GFCI) will protect the lot.

What facts about Mumbai would people not believe unless they come to Mumbai? | Many years ago when I was in Hyderabad my friend returned from Mumbai and told me that he saw Rs. 5 coin on the floor of the local train and wanted to pick it up but could not because the local train was so packed and there was no place for him to bend and pick it up. I did not believe him and rubbished him.
After couple of years I landed in Mumbai and I had to go from Vashi to Govandi to meet my cousin. I took a local train which was starting from Vashi and happily sat on a window seat. I did not know when Govandi station comes and on which side. Local train arrived at Mankhurd and flood of people entered the compartment and it was jam packed. As it started from Mankhurd station I asked a fellow passenger when and on which side Govandi station comes and he instructed me to immediately get up from my seat and go to the right side exit which I did. But before I can pass through the jam packed local and get to the exit Govandi station came, train stopped and it also started. In the commotion my spectacles came off but it did not fall down. It was on someone’s shoulder and he gave it to me. Train picked up good speed when I came to the exit and I somehow got down running train.
I sat down for 5 minutes thinking what happened and then I remembered my friends words that if local trains will be so crowded that even my spectacles did not fall on the floor then he definitely had no chance to pickup that Rs. 5 coin.

Why is abortion such a big deal in America? | In my opinion, because the United States was founded with values based upon Christianity and because of the emotional repercussions of that.
This is one of those topics that people will fight tooth and nail about because it is such an emotional topic. Pro Life people are emotionally invested in the idea of their stance as pro life not only because they see a fetus as a baby, but also because they most likely believe that having an abortion is killing that baby.
Pro Choice people are emotionally invested in their stance on abortion because they adamantly believe that it is their choice to do with their body as they wish, and that they should not be forced to have an unwanted pregnancy/baby.
With such emotional ties to an issue, it is sure to be a volatile issue.

Is IQ test academy really certified or it is a scam? | It looks like a scam and sounds like one too from what other people are saying. The fact that they made you go through all the effort of taking the test before telling you that you have to pay $20 to see your score is kinda shallow and deceptive. And also that they’re giving you a time limit to make your decision to buy it or not. They’re trying to pressure you into buying it and make you think “well I already did all the work. I don’t want it all to go to waste.” The real IQ test is seeing if you’ll waste your money on an unofficial, possibly inaccurate, ego boosting number or not.

What does the pet products market look like? | The pet products market has experienced significant growth and is a thriving industry. Here are some key aspects of the pet products market:
Growing Market Size: The [LINKED_TEXT: pet products] [URL: https://happiestpet.shop/] market has been expanding steadily over the years. According to market research reports, the global pet care market was valued at over $232 billion in 2020 and is projected to continue growing in the coming years. This growth is driven by factors such as increasing pet ownership, changing consumer preferences, and a rising focus on pet health and well-being.Increasing Pet Ownership: Pet ownership has been on the rise globally, with more people welcoming pets into their homes. Pets are considered part of the family, and pet owners are willing to invest in products that enhance their pets' lives. The growing pet population directly contributes to the demand for pet products and services.Focus on Premium and Health-Conscious Products: Pet owners are increasingly seeking high-quality, premium, and health-focused products for their pets. This includes natural and organic pet food, treats, grooming products, and supplements. Pet owners are willing to pay a premium for products that align with their pet's well-being and specific dietary needs.Online Retail and E-commerce: The rise of e-commerce has significantly impacted the pet products market. Pet owners now have access to a wide variety of pet products through online platforms and can conveniently make purchases from the comfort of their homes. Online retail offers a broader range of products, competitive pricing, and the convenience of doorstep delivery.Innovative and Tech-Driven Products: The pet products market is witnessing a surge in innovative and technology-driven products. This includes smart pet devices such as automated feeders, activity monitors, GPS trackers, and interactive toys that enhance the pet ownership experience. Technological advancements are providing new opportunities for pet owners to monitor, engage, and care for their pets more effectively.Increased Focus on Sustainability: Pet owners are increasingly conscious of environmental sustainability and seek eco-friendly pet products. This includes biodegradable waste bags, toys made from recycled materials, and sustainable pet bedding. Companies are responding to this demand by offering more sustainable options in their product lines.Rising Pet Services Segment: Alongside pet products, pet services have become a significant part of the market. Services such as pet grooming, boarding, daycare, training, and veterinary care contribute to the overall pet care industry. Pet owners are willing to invest in professional services to ensure their pets' well-being and happiness.
These trends highlight the evolving nature of the pet products market, driven by changing consumer preferences, increased pet ownership, and advancements in technology. The market offers a wide range of products and services to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of pet owners globally.

What do you think of this tweet from Donald Trump: “The Democrats should stop talking about what I should do with North Korea and ask themselves instead why they didn’t do “it” during eight years of the Obama Administration.”? | I'm going to hold my judgement on this one.
My belief is that DJT has been played by the North Koreans and that, over time, the world will find out that they were just buying a couple more years to finish their WMD and to try to unlock some of the sanctions.
However, I really hope to be proved wrong.
DJT has given legitimacy to North Korea’s dictatorship by recognising them as equals, holding face to face talks.
This was against the advice of several of his security advisors.
The Democrats heeded the same advice that he has ignored because he believes he is the consumate deal maker.
Let's hope he is right…because if he's wrong he has helped make the world a much more dangerous place.
As I said - time will tell….
Edit:
As I feared… it was all bluster and BS. Thankfully DJT walked away with no deal and gave away nothing more but he must feel pretty foolish right now

Why was the Nelson class battleship's C turret lower than the B turret in front? Wouldn't a higher C turret allow all guns to fire forwards? | If they had done that then the centre of gravity would be so high that the ships would have “rolled on wet grass”.
Note that some of the Japanese heavy cruisers also had three turrets forward (four turrets in the case of the Tone-class) and the Japanese naval architects also came to the same conclusion regarding turret arrangement.
The only exception were the four Mogami-class, but they were heavy cruiser conversions from a light cruiser design.
It was simply impossible on a limited displacement to have three superfiring turrets forward and still keep the metacentric height within acceptable limits.
Or, perhaps more accurately, when displacement is limited and compromises have to be made the super-firing of C turret is not regarded as being as important as stability and armor protection.

Is it appropriate to wear high heels with a knee length skirt? | I believe that pairing high heels with knee length skirts is a classic and timeless look that can be both stylish and appropriate. High heels have the ability to elongate the legs and give a confident boost to any outfit. Knee length skirts provide coverage while still allowing for a flirty and feminine silhouette.
When worn together, high heels and knee length skirts create a harmonious balance between the elegant and the revealing. The heels draw the eye upward, while the skirt provides a flattering line to the lower body. Additionally, the combination can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
Wearing high heels with knee length skirts can also make a bold fashion statement, conveying confidence and a sense of glamour. In my opinion, every woman should feel free to wear what makes her feel confident and beautiful, regardless of what others may think.

Why did Will Smith slap his co-star at the Oscars? | Here is my thing, he was caught on camera laughing at the joke before he slapped Chris.
Maybe it was a laugh like “I can’t believe I am about to slap this bitch on national TV” OR maybe, just maybe…………it was staged.
People forget, this is the OSCARS, its a room full of trained actors / actresses. If it was truly real, then Will would have never laughed at the joke, would have went straight up on stage and slapped him so hard that Chris fell over OR straight punched him in the mouth. Will’s slap was that of what would call a “pimp slap”. Chris also had the reaction of “wow! he just slapped me, I can’t believe it……THATS LIVE TV Folks” not of anger, rage and complete shock like any normal human would”
Not only that, he wins “Best Actor” ……like come on! this incident writes itself.
Its no secret that these award shows are hardly watched by anyone anymore and Hollywood desperately wants the viewers back and wants people talking about these award shows again. What better way to do it then stage a little drama to get the whole entire world talking again. Guess what ? They got the whole world talking again…..mission accomplished.
You have Will come out and throw on some fake tears, “apologize” to make it seem real.

Whats the #1 thing you always pray for? | Warren Buffett's choice to make 2 different simultaneous decisions is one of the smartest business maneuvers I've seen.
Decision Number1
I want to emphasize two points: (a) Buffett began earning money at a young age, and (b) he had an uncanny ability to compound his net worth. In other words, he was out of the ordinary, and he was well aware of his talent as well as supremely confident in his abilities.
Buffett, at age 39, was coming off one of his best years as an investor. He'd become a local celebrity, his net worth was in the $25 million range, and most of his investment partners couldn't be happier. It didn't hurt that the stock market was in the midst of its longest bull market since the 1920s.
In the midst of this, Buffett was uneasy because - in staying true to his discipline in following yet evolving his investment methodology - he was having a difficult time finding opportunities to put his and his investor's money to work in intelligent ways; stocks seemed mostly overvalued to him. What happened, according to Peter Lynch, a successful former mutual fund manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund.
In an October 1967 letter to his investment partners, Buffett stated, "My interests dictate a less compulsive approach to superior investment results than when I was younger and leaner... I am out of step with the current situation. But there is one point where I am certain. I will not abandon a previous approach whose logic I understand (though find difficult to apply), even if it means foregoing large, seemingly easy profits to embrace an approach I don't fully understand, have not successfully practiced, and which may result in significant permanent capital loss."
Decision Number2
On December 12, 1962, Warren Buffett began purchasing Berkshire Hathaway stock at $7.50 per share. His initial intention was to sell his shares for a quick profit, but he changed his mind after having some disagreements with Berkshire's president, Seabury Stanton, and eventually purchased enough Berkshire stock to control the company. Buffett's investment in Berkshire Hathaway is widely regarded as the worst of his career.
Why?
- Berkshire Hathaway was undervalued for the wrong reasons: it had been losing money for nine years and had closed more than a dozen textile plants in the previous decade.
- The textile industry in the United States was in decline at the time, owing in large part to foreign competition, which was squeezing profit margins to the point of no return.
- Berkshire Hathaway's financial situation was unlikely to improve.
What happened next?
Here's a rundown of some of Buffett's strategies for transforming Berkshire Hathaway:
Swap: He issued a swap of 7.5% debt securities in exchange for stock. This allowed him to rid Berkshire of shareholders who would want income-producing security while keeping people who were more concerned with growth.
Rationality: He refrained from modernizing Berkshire Hathaway's equipment to better compete in its perilous industry because throwing good money after bad would have been capital allocation suicide.
Allocation of capital: This is where Buffett stumbled upon a somewhat unique business model. He reasoned that it made more sense to take any profits from Berkshire, a failing company whose last textile operations were closed in 1985, and use them to finance the purchase of other stocks or entire businesses with a brighter future.
Taxes and insurance. Berkshire Hathaway made insurance a core component of its operations after recognizing an opportunity that aligned with its strengths. One of the most significant advantages was that it allowed Berkshire to use the float (insurance premiums that have yet to be paid out as claims) to fund some of its investments. This essentially became a form of leverage, a legal way of using other people's money for free to invest for their benefit.
Methodology: Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's investment thesis for Berkshire Hathaway can be summarized as these: they seek businesses that are simple and understandable, have long-term competitive advantages, are managed by capable and trustworthy people, and sell at a reasonable price.
To put things in perspective, a $1,000 investment in 1962 with a 15% annual return would have compounded to approximately $1.3 million today. A similar investment in Berkshire Hathaway would be worth approximately $23 million.

What video game console has not been hacked, so that games can be copied, emulated, or pirated? | I modified the question a little bit to answer it.
In most cases, all video games can be copied, with the modern exception of DRM on downloaded games with encryption and online checks to validate before playing. These provide a willful prevention to copying a game from an original source and playing the game on another machine.
Another disambiguation is that some consoles now let you copy the data to the machine, allowing play without the original disc media. However, you could not easily transfer the data from one console with another console in this format.
At the moment, the Microsoft Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Wii U, don't allow copied games to be played in the device.
There are rumours of a chip or emulating device coming up for the Nintendo Wii U, as the hardware is not as complicated as the other 2 consoles, but it has not surfaced,and the console remains piracy-free still.
I don't know of any devices or "modchips" allowing data transfer for the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4, but I am sure that there are people attempting to try, as there's a few million dollars in the production and sales of the technology in some markets.
The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 introduced the concept of hardware encryption and protecting the OS, which was a great deterrent to reading the disc or DVD / bluray, and emulating the game content.
Eventually, the chain of security devices in these consoles were hacked (different times/methods/revisions), and later, drive emulating made the playing of copied games possible for the xbox360, PS3, and the Nintendo Wii in an efficient fashion.
Most of the CDROM and DVD consoles profited greatly from the reach and accessibility of sales and marketing of being sold in Asia where the costs of the hardware were prohibitive, and piracy helped promote games and the console. This in turn affected the development of further games as the consoles were deemed to be made available and made popular, at the expense of games development in general.
Most of the Sony and Nintendo consoles have been emulated or had their game media copied or subverted since their inception.
As for cartridge based games, Nintendo 64 cartridges can be read and copied, and there was a late thriving industry in Asia in the late 90s in selling cartridge emulation devices that read the data from a floppy disk drive, that pretended to be the game in running memory, based on technology for the Super Nintendo /Famicon system.
The problem is that blank cartridges were just as expensive as the original game. This emulating was popular in Asian countries until they started to integrate processing chips with the game cartridges.
There are several sites documenting the lurid history of piracy and device/game/drive emulation.
Even going back to arcade game consoles.
