yep. me too. i think it's a demographic thing, but i remember when i stopped taking it seriously is when i had the utmost success. i guess that's just the moral of living in general
Dating styles are very informed by upbringing and culture. For example with my German upbringing but living in the US I am very long term oriented and do not shy away from addressing serious topics early. While this is considered "very intense" in the US, it is very common in many other countries.
If your goal is dating to establish a healthy romantic relationship then number of matches isn't what you want to optimize:
Accept who you are, how you think and feel. No need to hide the real you. No need to please the masses. You can find people who will appreciate you the way you are. And I can't emphasize this enough: *Respect the other person* - everyone is equally looking for (and entitled to find) what is right for them.
With experience it gets easier to quickly identify people who think and feel like you, who share similar values and lifestyle.
Vastly more matches, but what was the quality of the matches? Dating is weird in that lots of matches is an anti-feature (at least for some users, I wouldn’t know, I’ve been married for a decade and never really online dated)—-one _good_ match is much more valuable than any arbitrary number of less good matches.
The net effect is the same though; the company behind Tether is printing money from nothing and selling it for USD or BTC (which can be sold for USD more reliably).
>FireEye is a reputable security organization that is publicly traded. If they were lying and it was discovered as a company their business would go away rapidly and some of their executives might even go to prison.
I think a more likely outcome would be their stock price would drop for a few weeks, maybe executives would resign, and then it would be forgotten.
How much does a porn subscription cost? Something tells me the kind of person who pays for porn won't mind too much if they have to buy a little extra bitcoin sometimes.
This does not feel radical. This feels like pandering. My unborn child will be driving by the time this goes into effect. Radical would be new vehicles must be zero emissions in 2025, which still gives even the Dodges of the world enough time to get their shit together.
Cars with new drive trains being ready for sale in 5 years for legacy manufacturers, in addition to the supply chain to produce the batteries? I think that is too ambitious.
If you had a MP3 capable CD-disc change with say 6 CDs in your car, you had 60 CDs at your disposal. Usually that's way more than the number of tapes had in their cars. And the quality was a lot better than tapes.
Plus if you're into audiobooks you could get away with 64kbit mono MP3 which doubles the capacity.
I work in a university affiliated cancer center lab, inside of the largest hospital in my area. Due to a weird contract signed many moons ago, we are very restricted in the lab tests we are allowed to run for the cancer center physicians (employed by the university). the dumbest example is this: the total/direct bilirubin ratio. Total bilirubin is one test that we run on almost every patient as part of the comprehensive metabolic panel. Direct bilirubin is less common, but we do run a fair few of them. The calculation for the ratio is simple division. But when the ratio is ordered as a standalone test, it must be sent to another lab in the hospital megacampus. But not the gigantic lab in the main building, the lab in the children's hospital. Nobody has a good explanation for why I must send this test off into the wild blue yonder instead of simply doing some arithmetic, and I'm beginning to doubt that there is one at all.
Are there significant costs with sending the test to a far away land? I know some people that work in the medical field, and they've told me about tests being thrown into the request pile most likely for the sake of revenue.
