LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE MAKE SURE YOU RING THAT BELL
I guess now they have to say "Like, comment very nice and safe, and subscribe. AND DING THAT BELL". Also email would not be a good substitute for what the people requesting comments truly want. The reason they want comments is to have people comment on the comments and keep coming back over and over to reply and follow videos to continue commenting on past arguments and internet battles. Well, also to pretend that they care about the comments and input of all of their subscribers.
their algorithm isn't always combining pictures taken from exactly the same angle.
I was wondering how often it made weird images. The first one I opened was really messed up. The left side of the person's face seemed at least half an inch wider.... and also the head on that side was higher up and a different shape. The left jaw looked really unnatural. Then the next 3-4 images seemed fine.... only to be followed by what looked like a 18-20 year old guy with really big white ear hair. And then what looked like a 5 year old's face on a young woman's head.
I'm pretty sure that Opera invented the TAB concept.
TAB is a diet cola soft drink that was produced by The Coca-Cola Company, in 1963!
I really do miss having all the mouse gestures and extra functions by pressing keys on the numberpad and whatnot from older Opera. I always have a ton of tabs open and it was easy to just fly around in whatever I needed to do.
(and more broadly, the coffee that many people consume it in), has all sorts of wide ranging health benefits.
One of the most interesting ones was a Japanese study from a few years ago where it showed that having around 4 cups of coffee a day (since I already saw someone else mention 4 a day earlier) gave older men a resistance to sarcopenia (muscle loss due to aging). I found this incredibly interesting. While I know it would do little for your joints... I'd rather still have strength and ability than not.
Also I started the quote after caffeine because I believe it is more likely that other components of the coffee are largely more responsible for the benefits of coffee, rather than the caffeine itself.
I'm going to assume the preventative effects of coffee are probably more likely due to the phytochemicals in coffee rather than the caffeine alone. Coffee and various tea types are more than just liquid caffeine. Perhaps something in it gives you increased health defenses.... but I doubt it's entirely the doing of the caffeine.
-making $30k. I was shocked by how many of my co-workers at the same salary range lived paycheck-to-paycheck. Their MO seemed to be to deposit their paycheck in their bank account, and pay their monthly bills. After those were covered, they'd use money for impulse buys until the ATM said their bank account was empty,
This always reminds me of when I worked a warehouse job after losing a contract. I figured I could work my way into the office and took the job right away. We were making $12/hr working 40 days a week. There was a group that hit the nearby bar every Friday and kept inviting me. I started going with them and it was pretty eye opening on why they seemed to have such worse money problems. I'd go to the bar and spend maybe $8-12. The others would buy rounds of shots and/or expensive drinks, then leave with a $75+ bill.
Then there was this lady named Jenn who worked 2 jobs. 40 hours with us and around 30 hours 3rd shift with UPS. She never had money. But she had seemingly 1,000 sets of clothing and 100 different make ups to color match to them all. Almost weekly she was having to ask people for $20-30 because she was out of money and gas and couldn't fill her tank and wouldn't be able to get to either of her jobs. Finally we got 2 weeks of overtime and she had some extra money. We told her not to go to the bar, told her not to buy people drinks, etc..... Then she went and bought everyone a round of drinks along with 2 appetizers and also got herself a dessert to take home.
A very big +1 to a financial management course for everyone.
I was thinking of commenting about how much I miss the old Opera, and then I came across this post. When they first switched to Chromium, I couldn't use it at all.

This reminds me of a guy who was sent a Thermos King thermos to do a review of. They literally brewed him some fresh coffee and sent it to him overnight for the review.
I recall a study a few years ago about the affects of too much and too little sleep on weight in various patients of various ethnicities. And while it did vary some what the ideal range was and what was bad... generally the ok/good ones ranged from 7-9 hours before it was too little/much. So shaving an hour off of 8 doesn't seem too bad except for a few people. I'm assuming we're probably not worried about the 7 hour crowd.... but the 3-5 hour guys that just slam 200 Red Bulls a day instead.
I was more of wondering what made them come up with the hypothesis to test. Was there something they found or saw in other research... or was it just: "Hey I bet this could work, let's run some models on the computer!" Just out of curiosity of the origin of their tests.
Goyal also said "it is even conceivable for humans to be able to learn to see around corners with their own eyes; it does not require anything superhuman."
I'd think this was more of ASSUMING or taking a guesstimate of what was around the corner. Actually seeing would be superhuman.
Still a cool idea if we'd have something that could do this in real time at a fast pace. I'd assume it'll be a bit more accurate than what we'd guess, especially if we were excited/worried/scared/etc.
I'll always remember at some point in the past talking to a friend over AIM, telling him gas was a bit expensive in my area lately. He asked what the price was.... and it was something around $1.25 at the time? Moments later I got the response of: "Gas is $2.50 here." I then realized how insane prices were in California.
Then again, some time later I had moved to Charlotte and a big hurricane damaged something in the oil lines from Texas and we basically ran out of gas. Prices were around $4/gallon by the time gas became mostly unfindable (except some station with a $6/gallon price some people claimed existed)

On a more serious note - I do feel surprised at the number of people in here saying they are in America and almost no place they go to uses _____ Pay, NFC, or chips. I don't shop often, but when I do I've seen most or all of those options at all the places I go. Even if I'm just going to a small stand at a farmer's market.
Kinda like how hospitals should only hire good doctors so nobody will ever die again.
This just reminds me of how hospitals try to reduce their bad "deaths while in care of" numbers by just rushing out people that are terminal. Trying to get them to hospice, etc, instead. That way someone might day a day after the hospital but hey, they didn't die there so look how safe you are in this hospital!
Potatoes are not that bad.
McDonalds style french fries are, especially if you top them with ketchup and majonaise
It all comes down to your goals and what you're doing. Also genetics somewhat as well. Some people do great with low carb and ketosis. Some people it's almost dangerous for.
If you want to do endurance sports or focus on fat burning ketosis can be a good thing for you. If you're more of a sprinter, power lifter, or strength based athlete carbs may serve you a bit better as you would do best with quick energy you have immediate access to. Not to mention carbs are one of the easier ways to putting on weight (needed for muscle). Generally ketosis is better for endurance sports and fat burn focus.... with carbs being better suited to strength and explosiveness. Right now I've finished with my recent races and wanted to focus on strength so I'm enjoying eating a bit more reckless.... but I'm also lifting super heavy in the gym.

Gas prices in the Bay area as I type this are around $3.40/gal versus around $2.10/gal in the midwest.
