Much appreciate your input. I noticed the exact same thing, but it also happens when I put my keyboard in the lap. My theory is that it's due to the impact of my fingers on the keys that "tease" the flow to slow down.

I noticed that in long walks in the city my fingers swell up, so it's definitely the blood circulation. Maybe my thin fingers make it worse.

I tried googling for this but got mixed results. Shouldn't the wrists be touching/resting on the desk (the piece of desk between the keyboard and me) or are they suppose to float?

A jack of all trades isn't inherently better at all trades. There's great value to be found in a specialist.

And if you're hiring a front-end pay him as such. If you want him to know more than front-end beforehand, pay him extra.

This brings up another point in favor of "why not".

If existing players who are willing to buy new expansions whenever they are available migrate to vanilla servers, they might as well opt out of buying the expansions, since adding new content in the vanilla servers will make them non-vanilla.

Huh.

Hopefully? Sorry for bursting your bubble but Windows 10 is the ONE way to go, from their perspective.

Money talks. Canonical attempted to make bank from their partnership with Amazon, yet people over the web went insane and fought tooth and nail to shift the weight to derivatives, like Xubuntu and Mint.

Naturally, this is one of their alternative methods.

You're probably thinking of ego depletion.

>These findings strongly suggest that self-control and memory encoding share common brain structures and mechanisms, and compete with each other for them

So basically, the very moment you're trying to keep yourself from acting on an urge, you're using neurons that would otherwise be used to retrieve a memory? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I did the same a week ago - First tried Mint Rafaela with Cinnamon and this week I got free time to tryout Arch. Turns out their wiki is amazing and with a little google-fu I managed to install GNOME and any other application I might need.

I honestly don't miss anything from Windows. I used to game a lot but that changed and the few games I still play can either be accessed with Play on Linux or have their own port.

And what's even funnier is that most of apps nowadays have a web version (Skype, Spotify) so I really avoid meddling with emulating Windows for a good while.

Same here. I decided to stop playing video games cold turkey and what I did was grab an Arch Linux iso and follow the beginner's guide.

Much more decent.
