yeah well the article was about nerds that like to rape, which is a bit different

I use google maps at least 15 minutes a day. At least. Mostly looking at places I know, drove through and intrigued me, etc. I can tell when the satellite picture changes. I once saw a plane that was captured in the views (it got edited out soon after).

I just love Google Maps.

Thats funny. When I try to only give the conclusion, I'm often asked for the details.

I own 3 horses. 3 mares actually.

The first one, who’s 11 and been with me for 8 years now, has incredible communication. She’s always been pretty close to humans but for the past year and a half we have had them at home (they were boarded before). Even my boyfriend who isn’t that much into horses can understand her. In winter they have blankets and up until we had them at home they were in stables. So the horse can’t really escape the blanket. Now they live outside. Well she figured out how to tell us that tonight she doesn’t want the blanket : when we approach, she moves, just one or two steps. And will repeat the move if we insist. And on days where she wants it, she stands still. I discovered that she endured a blanket for most of her life when she didn’t feel the need for one. Second time she blew my mind : one night coming home late in the evening, she came to block the car on the road. She had daily garnements still on. I removed then and she walked away peacefully.

The second one is 8, and grew up with very limited human contact for her first 5 years : breeder who barely manipulated them. She’s the least interested in humans, and the most friendly to other horses. I’ve had her for only 3 years but I don’t think we’ll ever reach the communication level of the first one.

The third one is 4, which is young for a horse, so she still has lots of playfulness and curiosity towards humans, and I haven’t owned enough horses to know how she’ll turn out, if it will fade or not!

Well if anyone had doubts, it’s better to be a different looking person now than during medieval times. That is even scarier than the torture itself to me.

Yep. Not the same in most of EU where proof of efficiency is most often required. Which also explains why some people need to go to the US for treatment

FeLV has a vaccine. Also I guess it’s regional, here not that many cases. Also have personally seen multiple cats live well past 10 with FIV, with no treatment as they are none. 2-3 years seems super short from what I’ve seen so I wouldn’t blame FIV only. (I am an European vet)

US I imagine ? It’s a few hundreds here.

You were talking about a junior position in your post, not mid-career move.

Yeah it’s still pretty nice to have navigation

I don’t know what you graduated in. But I was given a chance at my first good company because I followed a pretty elitist (natural sciences I must add) curriculum. But in the meantime, I had found consulting jobs pretty easily. And even if they’re crap it launches you in the career.

The murder rate in other countries that do not have this gun legislation?

I don’t really envy her because her personal life doesn’t seem as amazing as her cs skills. She wrote about it at some point, I’m pretty sure.
