But taxi drivers are often weirdos, who hardly speak a word of a language I understand as well. And they often do not really know the way all that well... I have no experience with Uber drivers, but it can hardly get any worse.
More over, legal taxi drivers beating up Uber drivers is really going a bit too far. We have a legal system to settle disagreements.
She will have to write articles, and presentations. In physics, this is exclusively done in LaTeX, because of the equations.
The faculty is likely to have computation machines in case she needs to do heavy simulations. Heavy computation power is not necessary on the laptop.
I would suggest selecting from the laptops with a very good screen one with relatively low other specs. Because reading many articles becomes tiresome on a low resolution.
For example: Asus Zenbook UX305FA-FB001H-BE
And avoid macs. You just pay more for the same. They are not worth it.
As I have fairly big hands, I went for the CyMotion initially because the flat area of the keys is a bit bigger, which turns out to work very well for me. I have never noticed any sideways motion, or squishyness. The keys always react very sharply to my touch.
Essentially, any Cherry keyboard has served well. Many manufacturers of keyboards do it beside their main thing. However, Cherry has keyboard manufacturing as their main thing. And by now, the resulting keyboards are very good and still affordable.
My best one so far is the Cherry CyMotion Master Linux keyboard. And the only 'linux'-thing is that is has a picture of Tux on the button that on traditional keyboards displays the Windows logo.
As more and more extremophiles are found (bacteria living on radiation, on pure oil, on sulphur, you name it...) the number of habitable zones will grow. However, whether those zones will be able to support life that will eventually develop into a space faring civilisation... I am not so sure.
On the other hand, heat built up by tidal forcing of Jupiter will also not be able to escape easily, through such a thick crust. Remember that we have many deep-ocean creatures on earth, where there is no light, and the water is so cold that it is barely liquid. (zero to three degrees Celsius).
Actually, it has been estimated there are so many deep-ocean species, that bioluminescence might be the most common method of communication on earth.
How did life start on earth? Water, with trace elements, under pressure, with a magnetic field to protect against the worst of the solar radiation.
And what have we here? Water, with trace elements, under pressure, with a magnetic field to protect against the worst of the solar radiation.
There is so much music, that it is almost impossible to be truly different than everything else. And should an artist be required/expected to test new work with all other previous music ever made? That would be impossible.
And where do you draw the line? Four similar bars? Two similar notes in a sequence? A same text line in a refrain? Having the same theme (as there are millions of songs about love)? Having the same combination of instruments?
Not slow and inconvenient. It would require intelligence. If you attack satellites with an axe in a matter not unlike Don Quichote attacking wind mills, you sadly lack this virtue. Planning and building up to seriously influencing politics is way out of their league.
My girlfgriend has taken care of her dying father from age 12 to age 25, when he finally died. This broke her youth, and is still, ate age 46. a heavy burden that influences her life daily.
In that light, I think the most important thing you can teach her, is not to be a caretaker for you. And even more important, not letting your wife talk her into becoming one.
Second, Teach her to do as much as she can with her mind . I lived with parents who believed that school is bad for children, and that children should play in mud in stead of going to school. Expecially my mother fought my development every step she got the chance. Because of that, it took me a ludicrous time to graduate. Teach her that school can be a positive influence in her life. That education is a good thing. That if she has the mental ability to enjoy the education she wants, she should definitely not refrain from doing so.
If a customer of a fast food restaurant throws a cup of hot coffee over his or her lap, who is responsible?
If a woman puts her wet dog in the microwave oven to dry, who is responsible?
Now compare that to how a US judge what answer those questions.
I work as a programmer, so I know how buggy software usually is, so I do not have a smartphone. And I leave my mobile phone at home when I go out, just because I do not want to be reachable everywhere and at anytime. And navigating in unknown territory is a fun adventure without an electronic map.:-)
But I agree with you as well. Many people have a smartphone, so for them the expense for a fitness tracker would be less than a few hundred bucks. (unless they get a very high end running watch, but that is a different category altogether)
If you have to charge your phone daily, it might be high time for a new battery. I have to charge mine only every three weeks or so. With a few longer calls maybe every two weeks.
If you already have a smartphone, the story is a bit different, I agree.
If you want a device that does a lot more, that may also be OK. But it makes sense only when you would also use all those features. If I would just like something that monitors my fitness, I would not be tempted to buy a device that can do a lot of other things as well. If I am looking for a chair, I will not buy a car, just because it is four chairs with a whole lot of extra stuff.
And I would not like to take the time to get acquainted with a smart phone, while I could master a fitness tracker in a few minutes. But then again, that is just personal.
But smartphones are a lot more expensive than fitness trackers. Moreover, they tend to be far more complicated devices. Moreover, they are quite big and inconvenient to carry along when practicing fitness. So, actually, they are not so good at all for this purpose.
It is now safe to say that the smartphone is more than just a hype, now.
As they become bigger, the legal duet between Samsung and Apple will become a threesome. I wonder how they will keep up there.
It is the same as people who keep shouting 'oh my gawdd', while that is just a very old-fashioned book from about two thousand years ago. Some things just make it into classics.

Do you have any sources to motivate these rather firm accusations?

I know, and neither are the other objects.
Do we not have to worry the most when the faint objects do *not* move at all, between pictures? Then they are heading straight for us.

So now all there is left to do for science is to create small dragons...
I was attempting a reference to anti-hero Don Quixote, from literature. Thank you for educating me.

And we invite those people to speak on a public event for charity... On international women's day, 8 March, no less. The shame... :(

Could you theoretically make a living from just walking, if you would make, say 20 or 30 miles per day?
