>Days later, she learned she'd had a stroke

Don't you have to get to the ER within hours when you have a stroke?

Personally I just have way too high standards while no person that can fulfil these would ever like me. I can't lower them. I can't settle for someone I don't really find attractive like I can settle for a cheaper car. Because a car has a practical purpose. Even if I wish I could have a cooler car the cheap car still gets me to places. But with a partner is different. I don't have to have one. I can be alone. Sometimes I think nothing is better than something. Solitude is better than an unsatisfying relationship.

What's the best exercise just to stay healthy? And what frequency? I would hate to exercise for years just to find out it actually harmed my health.

It would just have to not look ridiculous.

I think being able to draw would really make me happy but I just can't make it through those countless hours of deliberate practice I would need to put in before I can produce any worthwhile art.

To me it seems like depression is a mindset issue.

After all if depression was caused by external factors only wouldn't all poor people, ugly people, disabled people be depressed? Didn't the majority of the world always live in poverty? How would we have come so far if most people were depressed?

So the question is how can you truly adopt a positive mindset once you got a negative one? Doesn't that feel like self-deception?

I wonder: how is it being an artist in Japan? How does working part-time work? How is the culture for people working in academia?

Since they don't mention the sensor size I assume it will be barely bigger than that of an average smartphone. So I expect the image quality to be underwhelming. There was the Lumix CM1 and it wasn't a huge hit so I don't know why this would sell well since it doesn't look like it's doing anything better.

Did you try the Red Bull Cola? Did it taste like it?

Can you just get the nutrition supplements from the drug store or are those all no good? I want to supplement magnesium since I am sure I am not getting enough.

So food with sugar but also a decent amount of fiber is fine? Like vegetables, certain fruit and whole grain bread?

What should the fiber:sugar ratio be? Broccoli has 1.7g sugar and 2.6 fiber per 100g. Bananas have 12g sugar and 2.6g of fiber. I guess you should avoid food that goes below 1:1?

Isn't data and processing power the most important thing with neural networks? Even if I knew how they worked I would have no idea what to do with them that hasn't been done already as a hobbyst without access to huge amounts of data like companies do.

How exactly is a neural network called that classifies unlabeled data by itself? Also could they turn it around somehow to produce cat faces?
