My best guess is that in a very dialog-heavy film, it helps to have the characters holding something.

AFAIK, people are paid to charge them in their homes.

Thanks for explaining this in simple terms. I have been curious about this for a while.

This is also my same setup. It is refreshingly easy to maintain.

When the incentive to finish a goal shifts from the innate satisfaction of completion to a fear of financial penalty, is it possible that the goal itself will unintentionally change in subtle ways?

ThinkPad T450s running XUbuntu 16.04 LTS. Everything just worked with a default Xubuntu install.

This seems to assume that a developer necessarily hits an MVP in PHP faster than in other languages. This might be true when comparing with the tooling/dependency nightmares of JS/NPM, but a half decent Python dev can get a Flask app up and running in about 15 minutes.

I have been working at a standup desk for about the last 10 years. To combat fatigue, I add a walk around the room every 20 minutes. This system has mostly eliminated all aches and pains for me.

One good example I can think of is if there is a no-right-turn-on-red combined with an unusually long red light. These are common in intersections with 4 green-left-turn arrows.

A knowledgeable driver might know to make a right turn at an earlier intersection, whereas the navigation apps do not always account for this.

In contrast to that, in Los Angeles, Uber drivers quite often are not familiar with the area they serve, so they are glued to their navigation apps. This can not only create unsafe driving conditions, but sometimes can cause an Uber ride to take twice as long as a taxi ride.

If convenience, comfort, and customer service are not a priority, and I just need to get somewhere fast, the taxi is still the way to go.

The smaller apples seem to be more flavorful as well.
