- achenatxSlate is coming in at around 175 inches..
- If your payroll ends up being about the same, after 5 years it all evens out in the sense that you will be expensing 100% of your payroll each year (but the expensing will be 20% from each of the prior 5 years).
If your payroll is quickly growing You experience the problem on all payroll growth.
If your payroll is decreasing, you get a tax benefit. Your outgoing cash is less, but you are getting deductions from prior year expenses.
- I have this anxiety for sure. I cant even picture her face.
Touching objects for me doesnt help, though looking at pictures does. Ive tried to get her to make scrapbooks for every year we have been together with explanations and stories, but no luck so far.
She remembers what we both were wearing the day we met.
- I have aphantasia, SDAM, and face blindness.
Like the author i rely on mental models (I wrote a book called visual models for software requirements), Im good at getting to the heart of things and am constantly organizing information so I can remember the principle.
I do get anxiety about not remembering people once they pass away. I might only remember a few things about them. But when I look at pictures I can often times remember all kinds of details. I think some of the information is there, it just isnt retrievable.
Im bad at networking, when I go to events lots of people know me, but I have no idea who they are. Im waiting for glasses with cameras that will identify people for me and go over their background.
Aphantasia is supposed to be rare, but I think many engineers have it. At least at my company it seems more prevalent than it is supposed to be in the general population.
In some ways it is a gift. I barely remember traumatic events, but unfortunately I dont really remember amazing events either.
- I have aphantasia and probably SDAM. I can barely remember my own life.
Ive been waiting for years for glasses that can scan someones face, tell me who they are, and give me interesting points about them (kids' ages, wifes name, what they do etc).
It is very common for me to be around town and have people come up to me and say my name, and I dont recall ever having met them before.
On the plus side I live in today and dont dwell on the past. It is like a superpower for happiness.
- when you punish drug use with prison, it is better for it to be legal.
- I have mostly kindle books now, around 600. I sort them by recent and reread the oldest. It takes me about 10-12 years to go through all my books.
I still have about 50 or so physical books and Im starting to convert the ones I can to kindle.
- Im red green colorblind. When wearing my enchroma, some things I thought were brown are actually very red.
On the other hand green lights lose their green.
On a day to day basis I can functionally see red and green, but sometimes when a red or a green is next to a brown I cant distinguish them.
And versions of red that regular people might have a hard time distinguishing would be impossible for me to distinguish.
- I upgrade when I need to. Im still running a 2015 macbook pro (I have two that I rotate if I have an issue with one). I have this version because of all the ports, then the M chips didnt have the virtualbox support I needed. I regularly use the SD card port (gopro) and hdmi ports.
Now that the M chips have virtualization and the laptops actually have ports Ill probably upgrade at some point, but I actually dont need to. One of my laptops could break completely and I would just migrate to the working one.
I keep my phones until I drop them or until they get too slow. I use samsung phones as I dont like the usability of apple phones (no T9 dialing) or the way icloud, photo storage, etc work. How do you get pictures off your phone into folders? It is annoying that the iphone cant mount as a drive.
I have a dell t3500 desktop (2012?). I have maxed out the ram, upgraded the cpu, and have large SSD drives. It is fast enough for what I do on windows which is just running blue iris these days.
I have plastic casio gshock watch with atomic time updates and solar. I think it is 10-12 years old.
I drive a 13 year old truck and my wife an 8 year old minivan. I do want an electric car but hate all the computerization of the dash. A friend imported an electric car from china and the controls are basically like a golf cart.
another friend converts classic cars into electric cars and I might be willing to convert an old truck to electric.
I definitely dont downsize, but I only upgrade when a usability issue makes me upgrade.
- NFL was a non profit up until 2015ish
- none of your links give any cases where a woman was prosecuted or jailed for a failed pregnancy.
The links did cite cases where medical practitioners did not do their job because they were worried about the government.
Texas law specifically states that abortions in the case of risk to the mother are ok and the medical practitioners felt the language wasnt clear enough.
- everything you have used as an example is not a free market, it is government interference.
1) slavery was enforced by the government who had use of force to compel. There was no voluntary two party agreements.
2) countries are governmental constructs with barriers enforced by use of force. A polish programmer cant work in the US due to governmental interference.
Now that the borders are wide open expect to see programmers exploiting the work loopholes to get work visas that allow them to work at market wages.
there is no perfect information and there will always be mismatches. But in a free market those mismatches are temporary. Also the market may be valuing things other than technical prowess (e.g. english proficiency, understanding of cultural norms etc)
- common core is not methods at all. Common core is only standards. Like be able to solve 3 digit addition. Or be able to estimate the the product of 3 digit numbers
The methods themselves can be any methods. I agree that the methods Ive seen associated with common core are designed to help people understand how the math works. Like why when you add fractions do you not just also add the denominator. However it is a tough balance between just memorizing how to do the problem and understanding why you do it a certain way.
The big push I see is word problems in lieu of worksheets. The huge issue is word problems take a long time and kids havent done enough worksheets to become fluent in the techniques. Teachers call worksheets drill and kill and want to "teach to the whole child".
The big problem is that people in education are simply not very smart. The education researchers are also not very smart. Ive seen data that shows that stem teachers are ok, but I dont think those are the majority of education academics.
- pretty much this. My 15 year old is in precalc and everything is memorization of steps. So I explain everything to her so she doesnt have to memorize how to solve the problems.
For example in trig they define quadrant I, II, III, IV and whether sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot are positive or negative. Im sure they briefly taught why, but for the problems it is just memorization. Most in the class dont understand the relationship between sin/cos and X and Y coords in the unit circle.
I told her it can be faster to memorize, but understand it so you can double check to make sure things are right.
There is no way a poor student can get through precalc unless they are way above the average because their parents likely cant help them at all.
- oreos have titanium dioxide as coloring.
high fructose corn syrup, palm oil, vanillin
<< Vanillin – natural or synthetic? – secrets of science 99 % of vanillin flavor is produced synthetically (petrochemical origin) or biotechnologically (e.g. from ferulic acid, eugenol).>>
- soak them in a very light bleach solution - around 20ppm. (1tsp in a few gallons of water).
- i wear rashguards for BJJ. The key is to oxidize the molecules that stink.
very light amounts of bleach work great. For example if you let them soak in a swimming pool (typically around 5ppm) for 10 minutes they will be stink free.
You can do the equivalent with 1tsp of bleach in a few gallons of water (really about 20ppm or a little more).
Obviously products like oxyclean can also oxidize the molecules.
- carbohydrates are not required to be consumed in any quantity since your body can make them.
- peas are mainly starch which are long chains of sugar.
I dont know if you particular peas have added sugar.
- eating sugar is not a requirement for survival. You can eat zero carbs and survive just fine. Not so for fats/proteins.
