That manager simply should reconsider if having 'an open relationship' is the right thing for him. And using company chat, that isprobably recorded, to hook up is a bit embarassing anyway. I definitely would not like it if a coworker is sitting with me at my place and sees 'dirty chat' in my messanger 'by accident'. On the other hand again: We europeans don't get why america is so prude that approaching one you like at work is considered harmful. In Germany abiut 30% of the married couples meet at work... if we had laws/rulings like in the US, they never had married,
No, they hide at places that are warm, they also have special anti freezing in the body/blood. And finally: human inhabitated areas hardly freeze in summer at night. In Lhasa it is 23:00 right now and about 16 C / 60 F.
Automatic route finding *and* following it, especially with several propelled wheels in an difficult environment (sand / slippery ground etc.) was always considered weak AI, or part of the 'field of AI'. I worked ariund 1989/1991 in robotics with self driving robots. They had several 68040 CPUs and ultra sonic sensors to measure their position. Four wheels that had diagonal rolls in their tires, so by rolling the front wheels backward and the rear wheels forward the robot would shift because of the rolls to one side (without turning itself and without turning the wheels). letting the wheels rotate into the other direction the robot would shift to the other side. All that was supposed to happen in a controlled working area for the robot. So actually they could have given him a previse X/Y coordinate about its position from the outside. But they wanted all at once: perception, building a model of the environment, planning routes through it, following the route and checking its position continiously on that route. Anyway: the bot was suoer maneuverable (I think the wheels are called Mecano or Mercano or something), and super slow. It basically stopped every 30cm and took over a second to measure its position again. Not sure how much he had to (re-)plan afterwards again. Point is: it basically never was at the position its internal modle and its driving actions predicted. This all might not sound like AI to the AI bashers here on/. However endless PhD's and some Professors were produced during that research project (Professor Rembold, meanwhile deceased, at KIT Karlsruhe was one of the heads of that research). It was hard work. A joint venture between several industries, and institutes from several univeristies working in the are of 'C ognitive Systems', 'Planning', 'Automation' etc. and at that time people considered it most certainly AI.
Today we stand on the shoulders of those giants and others.... now we consider it simple, OTOH that robot had only 1 or 2 MB of RAM. I believe 2 68040 CPUs in the 32MHz range.
My iPhone 4 probably has 10,000 times the computing power of that robot (to lazy to calculate it exactly).
Would have been more interesting if you had tested it and told me you felt nothing:) Because you would be the first then and I had a counterexample to the other people.
Don't forget the "airport". Being minimum 1h early to board a plane. Having the airport minimum 1h by car or public transport away. E.g. you fly from Paris to London, I would guess the flight time is less than an hour. But to get to one of the three airports of Paris takes you minimum an hour, with boarding time that is 2h. Now you land outside of London, again more than an hour away from the city center. So bottom line Pars to London is at least a 4h trip by plane. Even the existing Eurostar is already faster in bringing you from center to center.
1atm of pressure differential can be surmounted by the strength of modern building materials. This is the equivalent of a water depth of 10 meters (roughly 11 yards). So yes, it is trivial.
Second sentence in your link: Membership is compulsory for all employees working in Austria, and it is thus not to be confused with Austrian labour unions (*facepalm*)
Of course it is relevant. But I don't "defend" it. There is no need for it.
As I said: ask one to show you an exercise and you will "feel it" too. But perhaps your religion does not allow you to train your body to perceive things you "believe" that they don't exist;D
Alexander the Great was the first (known) to make that suggestion (cutting away the beard), but he did not enforce it. Hair is not really relevant as it is below a helmet. Razor sharp baldes we have since the stone ages, flint can be shaped into razors. Bronze blades are as sharp as steel blades, just not as durable.
I guess no one really knows where the sensation comes from. For doing martial arts or health exercises it is not really important anyway. Bottom line Ki/Chi is an umbrella term. E.g. when in martial arts someone says "concentrate your Ki here" you simply can translate it to "put your focus there". On the other hand it overlaps with "body exercises" that involve breathing and fluid movements. Here you easy get a "feeling for Ki" or life energy. But for what purpose? Well, a reasonable purpose is if you are freezing, have cold feet or have an injury e.g. You do the exercise to "wake the Ki" and then "you focus" on the cold part or injured part. Pain and cold is going away very quickly. Because the focus and the exercise changes your blood flow, so that more blood goes to the point in question. That is actually scientifically proven as you can see it easy on IR cameras. So: Ki is just blood focused to be at a/the special point;D (or not?)
'Life force energy', Chi in China, Ki in Japan, is an important concept in eastern medicine, philosophy and martial arts. For those who practice it, there is no need for 'believe'. We simply feel it.
When I would do three techniques with you, I would do them first by putting my Ki at the wrong point, telling you the point. Then no Ki, then I put my Ki at the right point, telling you the point. The next three techniques I say nothing and you tell me what you feel. I guarantee you: you will feel exactly where I have put my Ki.
Or ask one to show you a Chi Gong breathing excercise... it wont take more than 30 seconds for you to feel your own Ki. And you don't need to believe anything for that:)
Anyway, what you call a believe is a truth for me, as: The perception is always the truth in the eye of the perceptee.
In Germany many (most?) Yoga teachers are actually Physio Therapists. That way their students can get the course costs partly or fully refunded by the health insurance.
Typical idiot. What would be the point? Sweden is in the far north, half of it has a polar might in winter. The golf stream is blocked by Norway. The cold weather comes from siberia via Finland. As soon as it significatly below zero, the temperature actully does not matter much. Houses are insulated. If you go out skiing at -20 degrees or -30 is hard to distinguish. Most people prefer -20 over rainy wet damp +5 degrees.
YOU SCHOULD Compare the human-generated amount of CO2 being produced to a single volcano eruption. Fixed that for you. If you ever had checked the numbers you would not look that dumb. Btw. the main concern of vulcano eruptions are sulfur emmissions. Which have a cooling effect! The planet would likely look really bad already if mankind had not a huge shipping fleet which burnes sulfur rich heavy oils.

Did not know that unions provide such services in Austria.
No idea what services they have in Germany, I know no one who is in a union.
No, they are not.
My company is forced to be in a "Handelskammer", too.
You e.g. can not strike on behalf of the "Arbeitskammer", and if you strike while not being in a union no one will pay your "ersatz wages".

Europe especially Germany has a lot of freight traffic on rails.
However the TGV high speed tracks are passenger only AFAIK.

Bronze blades are as sharp as steel blades, thy only get dull quicker and need resharpening more often.
Obsidian could be, but it's difficult to deal with.
Yeah, you can not really resharpen it.
Alexander the Great was the first (known) to make that suggestion (cutting away the beard), but he did not enforce it.
Hair is not really relevant as it is below a helmet.
Razor sharp baldes we have since the stone ages, flint can be shaped into razors. Bronze blades are as sharp as steel blades, just not as durable.

Same for you :D
Feeling my Ki does not make me happy, though. It is completely irrelevant.
