My gf looked at a dress on my computer. She LOOKED at it. Now I get adverts almost everywhere, and they're trying to sell me... you guessed it... a dress.
Julia solves lots of problems in a specialized domain, but most programming is laughably mundane.
This. Programming is a tool. There needs to be a problem to solve... I find too many coders fail to see that and get lost in how clever they're trying to be.
I also bet you some amount of trash talk went on. Competitive games just seem to bring out the worst in some people. It's not a wonder someone eventually took out their gun after being called a worthless scrub.
The only other option which seems equally valuable is literally advancing substitutes for alcohol consumption with fewer negative health impacts, like vaporized or edible cannabis concentrates. That's the first (and maybe only) one I can think of, but we haven't ever tasked our pharmaceutical industry to research the ability to produce substitute drugs that min-max harmful effects and desirable effects, either, so there aren't many other viable choices with more benign effects.
Whoa there honeybuns. These things don't *substitute* for eachother. The effects I get from both are noticeably different. Sometimes I'll want one, sometimes the other. Sometimes a combination of both. It's all about the desired effect. But you can't simply replace them with something else. It won't be the same.
If it were as easy as eating less and doing more exercise then people wouldn't find it so hard to lose weight. Clearly it's more than just balancing the calorie chequebook.
Easy isn't the proper term. I'd say *simple* makes more sense. Thing is, balancing your calorie "chequebook" and getting off your ass regularly to do something that's generally uncomfortable to do, like actual exercise, is pretty hard to do consistently for most people. It's not complicated though.
Your body will adapt to what you eat. If you over eat a lot and suddenly start eating less, you'll always feel starved. Staying within a solid routine is hard, and easy to break out of once you get going.
Nobody needs to be shamed for failing at these things, but they also shouldn't try to pass it off as if it wouldn't work anyways if they didn't fail.
How about everyone else though? You could put them through an army style boot camp to get them to lose weight, but after that is over, how many will keep it off for an extended period?
The ones that keep exercising? You can't really complain otherwise.
There are ways to identify during the hand if you have the nuts. Of course whoever wins the pot has the best hand because all other hands aren't in play... That's what happens if you bluff someone out who had a better hand than you. Otherwise you weren't bluffing, you were value betting.
When you gamble even with the best hand you may just end up splitting the pot
This is what I'm correcting directly. If you have the best hands (the nuts) you're no longer gambling, but trying maximizing your return on that hand. It's simple, really. My poker is a little dusty, but I'm convinced you're the one who fails to understand how the way you worded it makes no sense.
Oh I realize it is. Hence why I asked what part of Quebec. We've all seen the videos where it's so cold you can throw water up in the air and instantly freezes.
Pretty sure that -40c (-40f) is a big fat typo, I'll bite that it goes down to -40c though during the worst of conditions/wind chill... but even the averages in the table of that same article is showing nothing close to what you've stated.

Then they ran a series of software simulations to see how many of those devices an attacker would need to simultaneously hijack to disrupt the stability of the power grid.
Wouldn't it just be simpler to run the calculation on paper? I can't personally help much here, all I've bothered to learn is how to calculate an appliance's electricity usage over X amount of days, but anyone with decent knowledge of supply and demand for powerplants should be able to do this fairly trivially I'd think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not to mention the power usage likely* varies from one brand of product to the next, let alone one type of item to the next.
*Would need a couple minutes of research at most...
When you gamble even with the best hand you may just end up splitting the pot...
No. If you have the best hand, you have the best hand. There is no splitting. At that point the gambling is mostly gone, too. You'd best focus on maximizing investment.
I was very specific when I told the rep that I don't need a super computer in my pocket. Texting and calling more than sufficiently does it for me, and even then, I ignore most my calls since they're either unknown #s or clear robocalls. They can leave a message if it's important.
Anyways, the phone was GOD AWFUL. It calls, and texts, sure. The moment I had 20 texts saved into my phone for a single contact, it would take SECONDS to load the actual conversation, sometimes up to 30 seconds if there was enough conversation going on to begin with. I would need to actively delete my texts for it to run decently, which isn't ideal. Did I mention the camera was worst than even my very first phone from like... 13-14~ years ago.
The phone cost $100, and I'd say it's not worth that. $25 would make sense, as it's literally a fucking throwaway phone with how poorly it runs. Maybe it's on me for purchasing a cheap Chinese phone with cheap Chinese software (the EULA on the phone itself is ridiculously poorly translated). I just got myself a Samsung A5 instead after about half a year. Does the job, nice camera on it. It's a smartphone I guess, I'm not paying any more on my monthly bill so whatever.
My 2 cents. Might've gone off-topic a bit though... Sorry about that.

As long as the world won't let me plow my yard for cropland and go hunting in the neighborhood, it does, in fact, owe me an alternative.
The neighbor's kids probably aren't very good anyways.

No.
A calorie deficit means you're lacking the food you need to function properly. You need to balance, not deprive.
Right?! What an insensitive clod!
How about everyone else though? You could put them through an army style boot camp to get them to lose weight, but after that is over, how many will keep it off for an extended period?

Hey if you're so smart, you'd realize muscle weighs more than fat.
He also didn't mention anything about magic.
Why do you feel the need to be a complete asshole on the internet? I'm sorry life sucks that badly for you.
Haven't heard? It's the bird.
Lucky? If I was lucky, I'd be a rockstar, live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars, and the girls would come easy and the drugs would come cheap.
Did you...... just....... reference..... Nickleback?
Shame on you and your descendants.
What are you on about?

Well fuck me........... so it is.
What parts of Quebec are you talking about exactly?
In periods of intense heat and cold, temperatures can reach 35 C (95 F) in the summer[47] and 40 C (40 F) during the Quebec winter,
