Supreme Court likes to take contradictory cases as well. So if 9th circuit says no and 1st says yes. Then it's good chance for Supreme Court to jump in.

It's amazing the lies about Trump people believe. You can post almost any blatant false thing and people will eat it up. In fact a typical routine is to post a story on on some horrible thing he said. Get the masses riled up. Then quietly retract the story later. Rinse and Repeat.

There is already talk about making the next candidate the worst person imaginable, whomever he his.

There was once a study that "proved" Democrats were smarter because could recognize the letter W faster than Republicans. This was back during the George "W" Bush period. Basically one group was enraged at the sight of a W, so they were quick to spot it.

Google is getting very blatant in their biases. I'm learning about topics more quickly from what has been "fact checked" and proven "false".

Highly Orwellian

I used to love paired programming. I've done it successfully a number of times, but I had a few years where I did't know if I could function or not at any given moment.

One minute I'm solving the hardest problems a company has. Next I can't remember where I'm working, Resolves itself in a few minutes, but leaves me exhausted for a couple hours. Scares the crap out of people.

Agraphia is an impairment or loss of a previous ability to write.

I can read fine. I can type fine. Drawing is mostly fine. Physical writing is total gibberish. Think severe alzheimer level.

It's not fun. I had a small stroke while in a music lesson. Instructor was very confused as to why I suddenly couldn't play or follow any instructions.

Programming has been this weird mix where I would see a simple problem. Say a fibonacci sequence. Something I could do in my sleep.

I would look at it. Understand that I can solve this in seconds. Then it would take me a week to muddle through it, badly.

So I know how to program just fine, but I somehow I can't actually do it. So it's been relearning things I think I know how to do.

The saving grace is people would often ask how to approach a difficult problem and I could still quickly figure out what the issue is, and what approach to take to resolve it. So I was very helpful to others, but I couldn't do the work I suggested.

Weird stuff.

Funny. That's not how life works for most people.

Most people earn what they can, and live off it as best they can. If that means single bedroom apartment with 10 family members eating beans and rice, then that is what it is.

People on HN tend to be out of touch with how lower income people actually live.

Perhaps you could open a restaurant and pay people as much as they want to live a comfortable life. If you could do that and stay in business I would be most impressed.

Upper Limit. Hiring you at $3,000 a month will increase my income by $3,000.

No reason to hire you. Below $3,000 and I can make money.

But ~1/3 employees are lazy and I can't fire them. So I have build in some safety margin for the bad employee's.

So I can pay you $2,000 a month and on average I'll break even. No thanks.

So I can pay you $1,500 a month, I'll make $500.

Had a hunter with a blue crab named Seafood in World of Warcraft for years.

He was somewhat famous on the server at the time. Eventually got rid of him because he had no benefits compared to other pets. No logical reason to keep him.

Huge regret. I grieved for that damn crab for months. Finally stopped playing that class all together.

Enough trauma and lose and eventually you stop feeling much of anything. It's weird when something happens that Intellectually you understand that should or once did make you sad, happy, etc; but you feel nothing at all.

Milk addition and standard American crap diet.

Fixing diet, adding supplements (Vit E, D, K B12, magnesium) avoiding the sun were massive in getting body under control.

Sjogrens autoimmune support forums are full of anecdotes from people who discover that nightshades are problematic for them. They will often give a list of good / bad things that work for them.

I find it highly amusing that people who have never heard of AIP diet end up recreating it over and over again.
