Can you please say more?

I've been using Arc on my personal laptop and phone exclusively for a couple years now, and want a more informed reason to or not to invest in moving over to Dia.

I think it's 500 karma - you've got 54...

I actually didn't blame you for your situation.

I pointed out that I find it gross to prioritize federal spending for your vacation home over victims of war.

Also, ordinary Americans certainly don't have vacation homes.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time digesting your attitude that federal taxes should be allocated to your vacation home in a fire-prone region, than supporting the victims of an unjust war.

That's judgemental. Collaboration couldn't have hurt.

The most important thing I learned from my graduate advisor: anyone can have a worthwhile idea.

I watched him for years coming into weekly colloquia and seeming to tune out reading papers. But, occasionally there would be a speaker that was less than credible, and you could feel the entire hall close off. But, my advisor would hear a tidbit of a good idea (even amongst loads of bunk), and look up from his journals and ask a genuinely curious clarifying question. This would often lead to new lines of research in our labs.

In the end, many of these speakers were on the wrong overall track, but they definitely had insights that were incredibly valuable. Those who dismissed them entirely missed out, while my advisor had a knack for finding the signal in the noise and moving forward with that without missing it due to judgement.

You're ignoring that most "new" language problems have significant overlap with things already experienced, and there's only a minor translation issue, rather than a learning new things from scratch issue.

Why didn't you help your teammate?

A PhD doesn't mean that a person knows everything. It means they made progress in understanding in a narrow area. Might not have included Python.

What is that they have mounted on the front of the scope?

I'm the same - it's very easy for me to ramp up miles and pace in endurance sports, but I've never been able to do a pull up.

I do notice I weigh 25-30 pounds less than my friends that are same height and waist size. I'm 6'3" and when fit hover a little under 170 lbs, while everyone else is 190-200. I think it's a distinct lack of muscle.

Your point would not be weakened if you left ethnicity out of it, but risks coming across as un-credible and conspiracy driven with the addition. I'd recommend an edit.

NLH and PLO?

I'm in the process of updating my home including whole house sealing. Part of it is an air exchange system that brings in outside air and matches that air to the interior temp and humidity before circulating.

The joke is that anything medical you search for online you'll end up having your greatest fears validated, rather than get helpful and balanced insight.

Or rather, all online diagnoses are cancer.

I want to thank you for posting this. I was not aware of the Merck Manuals, and have often struggled to identify useful information on WebMD or Mayo Clinic sites.

Today my wife had a specific medical concern that we wanted supplementary information about, and because of your link we had incredibly helpful and credible insight that helped us and provided a deeper understanding of what her physician was saying.
