Could you dig a tank turret or a battleship turret in the ground and the turret sticking out of the top? Wouldn't that be more effective than having an open bunker on top of a hill? | Yes, but more expensive. OTOH in several cases the expensive solution is better than having a tank or a battleship staying in the same for a long time.

What do teenagers wish adults understood? | A belt is for your pants, a talk is for your child.
School is hard. I'm not ranting like other teenagers. Please try to understand.
This year, after having full year of online classes,we're expected to give offline board exams in amidst of this pandemic.
I study in a renowned school of Kolkata (not taking name or else they might take measures against me). I am a person who's scared of socializing with new people. I didn't make much friends, or I should use the word any. Academics deteriorating. It's been too hard. Teachers scolding, breaking parent’s expectations - it just feels that I'm wasting money.
In class 12, teachers in our school took advantage of everything and called my parents too many times.
I couldn't give offline preboards because of fever. Many students didn't give, the ones that did got really poor marks. They completed syllabus too early and from October, every week, we had exams. We needed time to study well. Today, when practical exams already on schedule, they decided to take online classes, and also demotivated us.
It is true that I'm a disappointment but at least I had made myself stronger and made my mind that I will do good in boards. They broke me. More to come because they'll call my parents too and my parents will not only verbally abuse (yes, I used the word ‘abuse’) me but maybe beat me up.
This year maybe due to rising covid case, exams may not happen. If like last year, exams are cancelled and preboards marks go to official results, I'm done.
Students are the most ignored citizens of India. A global pandemic is going on and still we're expected to give exams. This shows studies are more important than health.
Health is not about physical health only, it consists of mental health too. It's hard writing with hands shaking and heart pounding on your chest and having difficulty in breathing.
I'm sorry mom and dad for behaving so badly these days. It's just school is being too hard on me.
If a parent or teacher is reading this, I really request that try to understand your child instead of scolding. I know your life is hard but that doesn't mean ours is easy.
Sometimes I just don't feel like living but I have to. I know one day I'll overcome this or succumb to it.

As a stay-at-home parent, how much help do you get from your partner when running the home and looking after the kids? | Not very much. I ran the home, did the grocery shopping, cooked most of the meals, took care of all the things related with the kid’s school, doctors appts etc. My husband works in IT and was gone most of the week until 2 years ago when he started working from home.

Before legalization, what did people think zig zags were used for? | For folding origami, of course.
LOL! Zig-Zags are plain old cigarette rolling papers. Back in the dark ages, before we attained full status as a civilization, people rolled their own cigarettes, using tobacco.
Eventually, when the Celestial Light dawned upon us, we figured out we could use them to roll joints, too. ;-)

What watt should a bulb be for a kitchen? | 60- 75W seems to be average. But consider higher if you choose a warm tone because the light is softer. Cool & daylight bulbs are more intense (harsh…. not soothing). Either way…the only thing that matters is what light suits you best.

What puzzles you most about humans? | World War 1 & World War 2 was created Artificially ! - A Bigger Perspective & The Historical Context !
Once the humans of this earth have spread enough hatred, enough greed, enough selfishness, enough egotism and self centredness, everywhere, then there will come a time that there will be no stopping to World War 3. Then all humans can do is see their loved ones die right before eyes and cry blood stained tears !
I hope it's taken as a wake up call to meditate, ignore mass media lies and divisive and hate propaganda, let go of identities, understand that we are not the ego, we are not our various identities, we are not the masks that we wear for our self-propagation and selfishness and remember that we are not the physical body but divine beings having a human existence.
Embroiled in divisiveness and constant battles and identities and various roles and propaganda and agendas forced upon us, we are made to do negative things, behave in a negative way that we would otherwise would not behave or do !Our lives are a lie, our very lives, our personalities have become a lie as fake as the stories we are told by the main stream media and our universities, institutes and researchers. We have come to rely too much on the 'outside' information and hence have progressively become easy to manipulate and 'influence' through the decades, since advertising and public announcements and public speaking and marketing campaigns began.
We were taught to fear the 'unknown', fear this, fear that and it worked ! We would buy things due to irrational fears planted within us through these marketing agents with the help of their advertising campaigns. Many whole nations during WW1 and WW2 were even 'advertised' why wars are the 'inevitable need of the moment' and their soldiers must fight (read : die) these sham wars. What's the use if anyone would care to ask ? Despite all the world soldiers fighting in miserable conditions, many civilians still lost their lives by tens of millions in all the various parts of the world.
It tells a lot about human butchery ! And the mass scale manipulated-ness that was going on during the years and decades of the WW1 and WW2. We, the citizens of the world, had sourced our own miseries by blindly believing all the lies that were fostered in that era and not being able to think for ourselves, being able to do our own 'thinking'. The prime reason for that is we didn't see that we were being divided because the process of division ran and worked through a very cunning devise and mechanism and that of, isolating each nation simultaneously, by cutting them from the rest. developing them into distinct significant groups and militaries each with their own needs and motivations to 'fight', and dreams, goals, military objectives and visions given to each of these by their leaders to 'conquer' the other.
This is the simplest possible explanation of how 'War by deception' worked (and works), otherwise how is this rampant worldwide insanity and madness to kill the 'other', to go on a destructive spree, bombing spree, looting and pillaging spree and killing spree is possible ? Isolate each country from the other, now you have your distinct groups each with their own 'identities' with their various nationalities, now double it with each with their own military, and arm them with supplies and 'their own' war time production, triple the effect of worldwide evil and misery (caused by divisive hatred) by lies, propaganda, agendas, fake news by telling its people that the 'other' is the enemy, that the 'other' is the tyrant and we are 'right', we are 'morally correct' and we are 'justified' and there you have it !
Both WW1 and WW2 were were wars by design and they couldn't have taken place in the natural scheme of events ! The ground was made, tilled, readied, fields were ploughed, seeds were sown and wars and mass deaths were its harvest !
And the same forces can very well do it again !
When enough masses of the world harbor enough hatred, enough ill thoughts, enough ill feelings, towards the other, it will become very much possible to fire the first shot, fire the first missile, that would act as a ‘pretext’ for all those ‘hidden’ warmongers, war-profiteers and hate-breeders, who work behind the scenes through cloaks of secrecy, that would trigger the World War 3. And once that happens, mind you, there won't be any stepping back this time because the hatred of the masses around won't allow the people in charge to ! In effect, we, the citizens of the world, will kill ourselves by our own hatred, ill feelings and ill thoughts !
P.S - Observing through controlled madness and insanities and struggle & strive that have been politically going on each country, humanity has been faring well till now and am pleased that around 40% of the masses have already awakened to the fake realities of the world, who would always go on to help the others and debunk the fake MSM news ! I hope this continues and the 'awareness' of wars by deception, wars that have been artificially created and taking place by deception over the decades, over the last couple centuries spreads to all the people of the world, among all the nations of the world. I hope we reach a point where every person, every citizen refuses to take up arms, and every nation refuses to attack the other, exposing the real warmongers and war profiteers who make us, the citizens of the world, fight, kill and die on account of our national fervor, race, religion, ethnicity and even, sociopolitical ideologies, political affiliations these days, mainly on account of our ever lacking awareness !
If the human stupidity and human ignorance has ever been tapped to bring out the very worse, to bring out the very evil, to bring out the devil, to bring out the Satan, in humans, it has been through wars, war crimes, violence, atrocities and global terrorism, and lastly, racial and ethnic cleansings & religious 'holy' wars and clashes, like 'Jihad' and 'Crusades' ! Before that, entire Empires and Civilizations were pitted against the other exploiting the human 'folly' giving rise to bloodied corpses, battlefield massacres and an endless stream of blood flow ! I Hope the entire humanity wakes up from its collective slumber and doesn't repeat such 'ancient glory' ! LOL !
Thank you !

Some people argue that developers should not be involved in testing their own codes but that all testing should be the responsibility of a separate team. Give arguments for and against testing by the developers themselves? | Of course you also need to test your own code.
Not testing your own code is a waste of time for the test team. It is not possible to write flawless code for anything but the most trivial of things — so no matter what, the original developer needs to test their own code. It’s the “glass box” vs “closed box” test philosophy — you can fix more obvious flaws while looking inside the box.
Once the developer is convinced the code works and all obvious flaws are fixed, then — and only then! — the quality of the code can be further improved by having someone-who-is-not-the-developer test the code. Even code deemed “perfect” or “It works for me” almost inevitably contains at least one more bug, and if you didn’t find one, you possibly didn’t test well enough.
Why?
the original developer tests to see if the code works; a tester tries to purposely break the code.the pattern of tests done by the original developer will always be different from a tester.a developer might be malicious, and think “yeah i’m done with it”if the developer does not test their own code, the tester will instantly bounce the code back on finding a first issue. This back-and-forth is very inefficient.although the code does not need to perfect, it needs to be good enough before being handed over to the test team. It really should Mostly Work.in an automated test scenario, you can start developing the tests for code before the code is written.a failing test provides more useful feedback than a passing test.passing tests does not mean the code is complete, or maintainable, or even correct. All a passing test means is that the code passes that particular test. It is impossible to write a fully comprehensive set of tests for all cases for anything but the most trivial code.once a test has passed, as the code grows, that test will become stale. It will only suffice to prove that the code in a particular area hasn’t changed to the point of being broken, but it will no longer provide new information.

What is your review of 'Dil Bechara' (2020 movie)? | Honest review? It was an okay movie. It might have bombed at the box office.
But honestly, when Sushant Singh Rajput entered the screen, it was extremely hard to not get nostalgic, as if I knew him personally. He truly lights up the screen. He plays a cancer patient who is very cheerful, which almost seems fake. Almost as fake cheerful as he seemed in his real life. There is a line in the movie where he declares that ‘we don’t decide when we live or when we die, we can only decide how we live’. That line hit me hard in particular. Did you decide how to live and when to die, Sushant? Is your story continuing in this world?
The actress, Sanjana Sanghvi is okay. Not extraordinary. She performs decently and conveys her emotions. Unfortunately her chemistry with Sushant wasn’t anything to write home about. Sahil Vaid was surprisingly fun to watch. Saif Ali Khan has a quick cameo, where he makes a small impression, especially since we can see the change come about in Sushant’s demeanor.
The movie tends to drag in the middle. The moment I check my phone without even meaning to, I know I am losing interest fast. The story picked up when he got sick. I thought the scene where he is crying in his grandma’s lap was very well done, well acted.
The last scene with a hand made movie, serving as a memoir to Sushant in the film served as an unexpected memoir to him in real life as well. It felt brutal. That is when my tears flowed.
Good bye Sushant. Rest In Peace.

Is the Big Whisper theory using the same scientific facts as the Big Bang theory a good alternative? | Just Big.
In space sound is not what we would look for. Background radiation is what we measure today. Seems to me that a whisper is more likely than the bang. This way of accounting for the Circumstances that existed just before time began to the moment after time started are not directly verifiable. It just doesn’t seem to be too noisy of a neighborhood just Big. (See my post on what happened before the Big Bang.)

Should Confederate statues and monuments remain in order to remind us of the dark past and to remind young generations how dangerous division is? | Yes, if we add an explanatory plaque explaining that the statues were NOT put up in the aftermath of the war, but instead to mark the end of Reconstruction, when Black men had their hard-won votes taken away from them.

I want to use C++ to learn Machine Learning instead of Python or R, is it fine? | C++ is the fastest language at run time compared to Python or R, so yes. But for testing and prototyping use Python or R since it will take less time to build and test compared to c++. Based on that I would recommend you to implement your algorithm in R or Python, and if everything is right, reimplement it in C++.

How do I tell if I'm an Enneagram 4 or 5? | The basic motivation for each type is different.
Type 5’s have a fear of being totally depleted and they compensate by filling up with knowledge. They also have a sensitive nervous system and have difficulty processing in the moment. They retreat to solitude to recharge and process further thinking and emotions (which is difficult for them). Because they live in their head, they are often not aware of bodily sensations or their feelings.
Type 4’s believe they believe that something is missing and sense that they are flawed. They over identify with their emotions. Their attention goes to what is missing. They will reframe their flaws as being special or unique. Some 4’s may cry easily.
Pay attention to whether you are more focused on your thinking or emotions and if managing your energy or having intense emotions is more important.

Can AI computing break RSA encryption? | There is no reason why it should. AI as it is now is not real “intelligence”.

Have you ever been judged for your appearance? | Ever since I was a child, I have always had a slim figure. Many people have told me how jealous they are that I can eat so much food and maintain my figure, but others have made fun of my slender build.
Many people think that I cannot lift something heavy by myself, and are quick to help me, rather than someone who has more of a heavier build than me. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the help, but people assume that since I’m skinny that I am not capable of lifting heavy objects. Jokes on them, because I work out everyday.
Another appearance wise remark I’ve heard is about wearing glasses. Someone actually went up to me and said, “I knew you were smart, but I didn’t actually think you did anything else.” How the hell does wearing glasses define your passions and interests? It’s literally an item that enhances a person’s vision.

How important is Roxanne Shante to the history of hip-hop? | I would say pretty important as one of the early female rappers of any note in terms of impact on the early rap scene inasmuch as it was now a truly burgeoning genre, along with the Real Roxanne. Before Salt n Pepa, there was Roxanne…well two of them at the least.
|
Is FLAC as good as WAV? | In the sense that it represents the original audio data without any “lossiness” of audible information, then yes. The result of a decoded FLAC should be numerically identical to the original WAV data, unlike the more common lossy codecs of MP3, AAC, and so forth.. However, FLAC is not as universally supported as the original WAV format, so you do have to ensure that you have an appropriate codec for FLAC for whatever playback or manipulation applications you may want to use.

As an American, do you agree that "statistics" that show the US way down low at #37 for quality of healthcare is far-left propaganda that folks in Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand love to repeat, when in reality the US is always #1? | No.
|
How do I tell if I'm an Enneagram 4 or 5? | Are you aware when you’re feeling emotional and do you also experience these emotions in your body (4), or do you rarely feel emotional in real time, but may process what you’re feeling later? (5)
Are you tuned into how others are reacting to you (4), or do you not pay much attention to the responses of others, and if you perceive someone is upset with you, are you able to let it go fairly easily? (5)
What do you trust more, your feelings (4) or your mind (5)?
Paraphrased differentiation questions from the book, The Art of Typing.

Are antidepressants such as Zoloft and fluvoxamine dangerous? Do they damage the brain or make you crazy? Or is that just false information? | What is interesting is that they may actually repair the brain via neurogenesis.

What is the difference between "perfume", "eau de toilette" and "cologne"? | Eau de parfum
This is the perfume category with the next highest concentration of oils with around 15 to 20% essential oils or “perfume extract” in the fragrance blend. It is less expensive than perfume.It has slightly more alcohol and water in the ingredients, however, it still has a high level of perfume oils.It can last 6 to 8 hours.Even though it has a slightly higher alcohol content, it is still recommended for people with sensitive skin.
[LINKED_TEXT: Eau de parfums] [URL: https://alphaify.in/] are richer compositions. This is due to their higher concentration of raw materials. But also because perfumers work on notes more intensely. Of course, you’ll also find flowers and citrus fruits, but in deeper, more powerful accords. The base notes are also more present, and they will really permeate the skin and last throughout the day.
So eau de parfums have more character than eau de toilettes; they have more contrasts and are more assertive.
Eau de toilette
This [LINKED_TEXT: perfume category is for fragrances with essential oil or “perfume extract”] [URL: https://alphaify.in/shop] concentrations of between 5 to 15%.It is a light formula and usually in spray bottles.Surprisingly, it is the most popular type of fragrance, and you often buy “perfume” thinking it is eau de parfum and it is actually eau de toilette.It is much more affordable than Eau de Parfum, and can last 2 - 4 hours.Due to the low combination of essential oils and high percentage of alcohol, it tends to dissipate quickly.
Eau de toilettes are fairly fresh and light compositions, and are generally more airy than eau de parfum. This is due to a lower concentration, as well as the choice of the ingredients themselves.
The most commonly used ingredients are usually fresh citrus notes, delicate flowers, and crunchy fruits. Consequently, an eau de toilette made from a successful eau de parfum will smell a little different because it is a reinterpretation with different, lighter ingredients. These are generally presented as good alternatives for the Spring or Summer season, when your signature fragrance is too intense for the sunny days. The eau de toilettes have a refreshingly spring-like or summery tonality.
Eau de cologne
The category known as [LINKED_TEXT: Eau de Cologne] [URL: https://alphaify.in/] is one of the lightest fragrance concentrations with essential oils or “perfume extract” of between 2 to 4%.It is often thought of as a masculine formula, however, there are feminine eau de colognes as well.They often come in large bottles as you tend to need more of it and will require regular applications.It can last up to 2 hours and is fairly inexpensive.
Eau de colognes are ultra-fresh compositions. They are generally composed mainly of citrus fruits and aromatic plants.
The first eau de cologne was invented in the 18th century in Cologne by Jean-Marie Farina. He was the first person to come up with the idea of mixing essential oils with alcohol, to create a freshly scented solution. And it was a real revolution because in the 17th century it was customary to use heady perfumes such as cinnamon or sandalwood oil. People used very strong and heady perfumes to conceal body odours caused by a general lack of hygiene. But as the quality of hygiene improved, people could now opt for lighter compositions.

What are your late growth spurt stories? | This is me just after I turned 13 (about 4 years and 8 months ago):
7th grade was a rough time. Clearly, the camera angle and braces don’t help, but puberty has done some wonders since this picture.
This is me about a year and a half later, just before freshman year started:
My skin cleared up and I started looking like a normal human being. I also felt like one since I wasn’t right in the middle of puberty anymore, which was a major improvement.
This is me about 8 months later, towards the end of that year:
Skin? Eh. Hair? Better. Self esteem? At its best in my life (at that point; it still wasn’t great.).
This is me the summer between sophomore and junior year:
I learned how to curl my hair and how to take care of my natural curls a few months before, which was definitely good. I had also gained a lot more self-confidence in my abilities and my looks since freshman year.
This is me this past summer:
I learned how to be a decent human being, how to take care of my skin, how to fix my eyebrows (sort of) and how to do some pretty kickass eyeliner. I’d say those are all good things.
And here’s me just a couple weeks ago, doing my senior pictures:
Not trying to be some kind of narcissistic POS, but I think I look pretty good here, at least compared to a few years back. Thank goodness for puberty and increased self-esteem.
However, my face and body aren’t the only things that have changed. I’ve become wiser. I’ve come to realize and accept that boys aren’t the most important thing in my life right now and that I should not make them such (because let’s be honest, high school sweethearts who don’t get divorced by the time they’re 30 are extremely rare). I’ve accepted that popularity is usually a bunch of b.s. or a result of high socialization, and this has actually led to me being able to be friends with people who are “popular” and who aren’t, as opposed to just the people who blame others or the world for their non-popularity (something I used to do often, as much as I hate to admit it.).
I barely have any of the same best friends from the last few years; one moved (although she’s still one of my closest friends), another decided to make her boyfriend the most important thing in her life, and some others were lost due to stupid fights. I’m on good terms again with most of these people; we just aren’t as close. That’s okay, though; people change and grow and we can’t be expected to stay with the same people our whole lives and still grow as human beings. As long as the growth is positive and leaving people for it to happen is necessary, it is okay.
I always thought that I would have one best friend forever five years ago. We had been best friends for years, but we decided to make a boy (the one who is now her boyfriend) more important than our friendship. It ruined it. We were going to go to the same college, or at least stay somewhat near to each other; now, I’m considering Michigan State and eventually med school and she’s considering a gap year so that she and her boyfriend can go to the same college at the same time. I don’t love her recent choices, and she doesn’t love mine. But that’s okay. We’ll both make our own mistakes and learn the hard way in different ways. Just because our lives are now becoming drastically different doesn’t mean that we can’t accept that and simply agree to disagree (now that we get along again).
I never thought I would love myself five years ago. Now, not only am I comfortable with my appearance, I am also happy with sometimes being able to one-up guys in intelligence instead of being nervous that that would make me “unattractive”. If a guy is so insecure that he can’t stand having me be more knowledgeable than him at one thing, then screw him. I’ll find a guy who appreciates me and who I appreciate, even when one of us is better at something than the other.
I’m wiser than I was five years ago. I’m smarter. I’m stronger (physically, mentally, and emotionally). I said I would never like coffee; now I don’t know what I would do without it. I said I would definitely be going to a Christian college; now I’m deciding between Central Michigan and Michigan State. I used to love math; then I got to Algebra 2 and that died real quick. I used to say that I wanted a boyfriend; now I want a Doctorate or Ph.D. (although a boyfriend might be nice too, but I’ve got more important goals than that). I said I never wanted kids; I still say that after babysitting eleven year olds, but other than that, I can’t wait to be a mom someday.
I’ve changed a lot more than in just appearance in the last five years. And I’m completely okay with that. In fact, I couldn’t imagine being the same at 17 as I was at 12 and 13. I can’t wait to see how I change from now to being 22.

Was the coronavirus predicted by Nostradamus? | NO!
As a clever person once said:
It's hard to predict anything, especially about the future.
Regarding predictions:
The fact is that despite numerous scientific studies of various kinds of predictions, science has never been able to establish that there was any kind of reality behind any of the otherwise alleged 100% guaranteed predictions that have been examined over time.
A prediction can only be considered as a prediction if:
Interpretation is unnecessary!
If the prediction is clearly stated in a text acting about the same subject as the prediction.
The most common problems related to predictions is:
A) - That it is necessary to interpret the text in order to understand the so-called prediction.
B) - That the chronology of the prediction is not in accordance with historical reality.
C) - That the prediction is only a few words or a line in a text that has nothing in common with the so-called prophecy.
- - -
But note:
The somewhat strange result of a prediction said by a clairvoyant, or an astrologer, is incredible often, that a client, now more or less subconsciously, focuses all her/his energy on the prediction to come true
- - -
And that's why people believe in predictions!

What's your review of Amazon Prime's Farzi? | I absolutely loved this series and I wish they didn’t let me wait for the second season.
It’s about a guy who has been an artist since birth. He has a damaged childhood hence his adulthood reflects the damage that it has caused him. He has been raised by his maternal grandfather and he loves him immensely.
No, he is not alone. He has his best friend from the platform where he used to paint and later on started earning money through his artwork. He is brilliant at his craft. But he doesn’t like the life he is living so he wants to aim for something bigger even if it means entering into the world of crime and the mafia.
It eventually happens. He starts creating Rs 500 to Rs 2000 notes. The RBI, Government, and Police are his enemies, and he fears no one. He wants to become bigger and bigger because greed has no saturation point.
But ultimately plans fail, tragedy strikes him, and he had to change his life or rather it was changed by the person he was working with, who considers him as his God.
There are many moments of cat and mouse chase, but it keeps you glued because every season has something new to offer. It is not even like that you cannot predict the climax. It was highly predictable, and I know what’s going to happen in the second season, but I will still wait.
Watch it out for some old faces who stopped coming to the movies and cherish their presence as it lasts.

Are atoms observable? If not, can you explain atomic theory and the history of its inception? | Atoms themselves are not directly observable to the naked eye because they are too small to be seen. However, the effects of atoms are observable through scientific instruments and experiments.
Atomic theory is the scientific explanation of the nature and behavior of matter. The theory proposes that all matter is made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms, which cannot be created or destroyed. Atoms combine to form molecules, which make up all of the substances we encounter in our daily lives.
The concept of atoms has a long history, dating back to ancient Greece. The philosopher Democritus first proposed the idea that matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms around 400 BCE. However, his ideas were not widely accepted at the time.
It was not until the 19th century that scientists began to accumulate evidence in support of the atomic theory. John Dalton, a British chemist, proposed a modern version of the atomic theory in the early 1800s. He suggested that elements are made up of atoms, each of which has a unique atomic weight.
In the early 20th century, experiments conducted by physicists, including Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr, provided more evidence for the atomic theory. Rutherford's experiments with alpha particles showed that atoms have a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. Bohr expanded on this model, proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific energy levels.
Today, atomic theory is a fundamental part of modern physics and chemistry, and it continues to be refined and updated as new evidence is discovered. While atoms themselves may not be directly observable, the effects of their behavior are observed and measured in a wide range of scientific fields.

Do you believe in karma? Why or why not? | Karma is a concept in many Eastern religions and philosophies that suggests that a person's actions in one life can influence their circumstances in the next life. In popular usage, karma is often thought of as a kind of cosmic justice or a force that rewards good deeds and punishes bad ones.
Whether or not one believes in karma is a matter of personal belief and perspective. Some people believe that karma is a real force that operates in the world, while others may see it as a metaphorical or philosophical concept.
It's also important to note that the concept of karma is often more complex than a simple reward-punishment system, and there are different interpretations of how karma operates. In some interpretations, karma can affect a person's current life, not just their next life, and can be influenced by factors such as intention, motivation, and context.
Ultimately, whether or not karma happens to everyone is a matter of personal belief and interpretation of the concept.

Your family may say they want the cat to be euthanized because they probably consider to put the cat out of his/her misery. However, you all as a family need to decide whether to give up the animal for adoption or help her/he.

What are some plastic surgery masterpieces? | Plastic surgery is a medical field that focuses on enhancing and altering various aspects of the human body. While the term "masterpiece" can be subjective and dependent on personal opinions and preferences, there are some well-known examples of[LINKED_TEXT: plastic surgery] [URL: https://www.lifecureclinics.com/plastic-surgery/] procedures that have achieved notable results. It's important to remember that plastic surgery outcomes vary based on individual goals, anatomical considerations, and the skill of the surgeon. Here are a few examples often regarded for their aesthetic achievements:
Rhinoplasty: Nose reshaping surgeries, commonly known as rhinoplasty, can address functional concerns, correct structural abnormalities, or improve the appearance of the nose. Well-executed rhinoplasties have been celebrated for achieving harmonious facial proportions and enhancing facial symmetry.
Breast Augmentation: Breast augmentation procedures involve the placement of implants to enhance breast size, shape, and overall contour. When performed skillfully, breast augmentation can achieve natural-looking and proportionate results, enhancing a person's body shape and self-confidence.
Facelift: Facelift procedures aim to reduce the signs of aging in the face and neck by tightening sagging skin, removing excess fat, and addressing deep creases or wrinkles. Successful facelift surgeries can provide a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Liposuction: Liposuction is a procedure used to remove stubborn fat deposits from various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or arms. When performed effectively, liposuction can sculpt the body's contours, resulting in a more toned and proportionate appearance.
Blepharoplasty: Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, focuses on rejuvenating the appearance of the eyelids. This procedure can remove excess skin, reduce puffiness, and address sagging or drooping eyelids, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | Jack O'Kent
One of my favorites is the Legend of Jack O’Kent.
“Jack O'Kent is a folk hero who appears in numerous stories. One of them witnesses that Jack apparently managed to trick the devil. He asked the devil for help to build a needed bridge over a river. The devil agreed, but as you might suspect, he did not agree without asking for a high price. Jack O'Kent would have his bridge as long as he agreed on one thing: The devil would be allowed to take the soul of the first person to cross the bridge. Jack O'Kent agreed quickly. But he did trick the devil: Instead of walking over the bridge himself, or having an unsuspecting peasant walk over it, the trickster threw a bone when a dog was close. The dog took the bait, ran over the bridge, and so the devil received the soul of a dog. After all, he had not been too specific about whether it had to be a human! Could it be one of the dogs appearing around the mysterious crossings in the woods? Who knows!”
[LINKED_TEXT: Magical English Legends You Should Know AboutAddBlock Detected Please whitelist or disable addblocker for our site When it comes to the British Isles, England offers a rich yet not that well-known range of myths and legends. Sure, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are perceived as territories with a more popular folklore. Everybody are familiar with Nessie or leprechauns. For going into depths of mythology around the British Isles, immerse into the magical stories of England’s fairies, scary creatures, and legendary heroes. Here are a few examples, some famous ones and some that you might not have heard about. Fairy Dogs and magical pathways When you walk in a forest, you often come to crossings, and might remember something about taking the path less taken. For certain crossings, there might even be a path that is indeed less taken, as some have an invisible path that would enable you to not just enter a different part of the forest but also a different world altogether. At some of those crossings, you might meet a rather strange looking dog. Beware - if he managed to bark at you three times, you might be in trouble! Walking these possibly enchanted forests, you might want to avoid strange looking, mythical dogs snooping around the crossings – unless you would indeed be interested in being lost in some magical other-world. Puzzlewood, an ancient forest site of pathways and caves in the Forest of Dean. Moss covered rocks and sunken pathway, with a dense tree canopy. Ghost of a hunter With so many mysterious forests, England cannot be a boring ghost-less place. However, not all of them are there to haunt you or lure you into the darkness. If you ever fancy a visit to Windsor Forest, you might encounter the ghost of Herne the Hunter, who lived during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Unfortunately, after some offense he committed, he decided to hang himself. Since that moment, he is said to patrol the forest. Locals say he is there in times of need, and would always be a guardian of Windsor Forest to make up for the mistakes of his past.

Texas' Republican senators fought against Hurricane Sandy aid to New York. Should New York senators be nicer to you Texans? | We are talking about people here, not a political entity. Of course NY should vote to help Texas, whatever the need is. But it might behoove some people here to not make a big stink about Sandy relief for NY. Sometimes, it’s just better to hold your tongue.
I just did a little fact checking on the claim about the Sandy bill.
Cruz and 35 other Republican Senators voted against the bill.
They voted it down, and Cruz specifically made a statement that two thirds of the money went to local pet projects, not to disaster relief. They gave this claim several Pinocchio’s.
They found that 36 of the 50 billion was direct aid for the storm
Another 10 billion was ‘storm related’, which they classified as taking preventative measures to avoid that damage in the future. .
So, 46 of the 50 million was storm related.
Now, like it or not, it is a time honored tradition to try to add things into an emergency appropriations bill, simply because the main thrust of it is an emergency and needs to get passed quickly. Compared to some other emergency bills, at first blush at least, the NY Sandy bill does not rise anywhere near the top of the ‘pork barrel.
Things like future prevention could have been presented as a separate bill later on, so while it is Sandy related, it was not an emergency.
However, again, if you are hanging your hat on what Cruz said, that is totally wrong.

What are some tips for me if I am new to competitive programming? | These days, competitive programming is pretty much the buzzword everyone uses.
We're going to learn about people getting into FAANG companies, passing challenging coding interviews, and more.
So, don't worry; we'll lay out a detailed roadmap for competitive programming, including how it will benefit you, whether it's required for interviews or not, and other factors.
Students who are still unsure of whether this article will be helpful or not will have their needs met by this article.
Let's start by defining what Competitive Programming actually is.
What is Competitive Programming?
Competitive programming is a mental sport, much like other mind sports like chess or any other sports or games.
It's more of a game where you have to find faster, more effective, and more conventional ways to solve an issue. You get better at something the more you do it.
It is acknowledged as a mind sport throughout the world, and every year a sizable number of contests and competitions are held internationally to promote it. These tournaments offer a variety of prizes, as well as possibilities for interviews with major companies and other benefits.
Just to let you know that there are developers who take part in these competitions solely as their work even if it isn't financially rewarding enough.
Starting Competitive Programming: Is It Worth It?
Due to its distinctiveness, competitive programming has recently become quite popular, and this progressive growth in popularity has attracted a significant number of organizations and individuals to this sport.
After shortlisting candidates from these fiercely competitive coding competitions, several startups and businesses have also started holding interview rounds.
The ability of the programmer to solve problems is enabled and improved via competitive programming.
Organizations look for applicants with strong problem-solving skills because while languages, frameworks, and technologies may all be learned at any moment, the notion or logic underlying complicated solutions rests on a person's ability to think analytically.
Therefore, even if competitive programming is not required, it does aid in the development of problem-solving abilities.
Personally, do give it a try without losing patience for some time, I feel most of you would fall in love with it.
Roadmap To Start Competitive Programming
Learn a language thoroughly, getting to know the bits and bytes of it. (PS: Avoid pursuing a PhD in that language as well.) You can start with any language that appeals to you, such as Java, Python, or C++, but before continuing, consider the code lengths and memory requirements of each, as they have a significant impact on your performance time in competitions.
Begin to feel at ease using a coding website with a user-friendly design, such as Hackerrank, and go through many of the tasks there. Why do you want Hackerrank? Your confidence will grow as a result of its recommendation system's steady and deliberate progression through increasingly tough situations.
Learn the language's data structures and libraries. For instance, using Cpp's arrays, strings, LinkedList, stack, queue, recursion, etc. and STL (Standard Template Library) will significantly increase your speed and help you write shorter, more comprehensible code.
Work through at least 40–50 Hackerrank questions, and become familiar with the IDE.
You should feel much more confident by this point, and we are prepared to start competing in challenges on websites like Codechef and Codeforces, among others. Start with lengthy challenges on Codechef, where you get 10 days to answer 8–10 questions. This is especially beneficial for novices as it provides them plenty of time to research a problem and find a solution.
Maintain Consistency, exercise patience, and attempt to step beyond your comfort zone by going back to the questions you couldn't answer after each competition. Do them again on your own. If you can't understand it, look at editorials and other people's solutions after the competitions. Although as a beginner do not engage more than 30 mins for a question if you are not able to find an answer.
For pair programming, try to locate someone who shares your desire for competitive programming. By learning from others' failures, one might develop their ability to think creatively.
Start learning algorithms while participating in competitions; algorithms can help you understand your confusions; yet, some algorithms are challenging for beginners to picture. Algorithms can help you optimize your programme, and they are one of the most important criteria in contest rankings because they have a significant impact on your execution time.
You should be comfortable and competent with the majority of the contests by this point, therefore it's time to advance to higher levels. Start by taking part in global contests like Google CodeJam, TopCoder challenges, ACM ICPC, etc. You can undoubtedly rank among the top competitors in these challenges if enough effort and patience are put in.
Most importantly, if your ratings decline, maintain your confidence and keep trying. Maintaining consistency will be difficult at first, but everyone goes through this phase, so it's perfectly OK.
Let me dispel some common misconceptions regarding competitive programming.
Question 1: How long will it take for me to reach the 5- or 6-star level in CodeChef or turn purple in CodeForces?
The answer to this query is very debatable. It entirely relies on how many hours you spend practicing competitive programming after you get going and begin understanding things.
2. Also very important is consistency.
Question 2: Is entering a FAANG firm like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, or another similar product-based corporation only possible through competitive programming?
In a word, the answer to this question will be a resounding NO.
1. There are a few people I know that were hired by these companies, but they never participated in any programming competitions.
2. Some of these companies took notice of them as a result of the project work they completed. However, they also demonstrated a solid understanding of fundamental data structures and algorithms, which helped them pass the interviews.
Therefore, being a competitive coder and passing these kinds of interviews always helps.
Final Thoughts
Before competitive programming begins, all of these considerations must be kept in mind; otherwise, you may encounter numerous obstacles along the way of this amazing trip.
Thanks for reading and I hope this was worth your time.

If a job is still being advertised 4 months after you were rejected, and you think you are qualified for it, would you reapply? | If you went through the interview process and were rejected, I’d probably say don’t bother. If you submitted a resume online and got a canned rejection email, it wouldn’t hurt to try again. In either case, the worst that can happen is another rejection.

How does Wrike compare to Basecamp? Has anyone tried both softwares? | I'm totally biased, but:
If you're comparing project management software, you should also consider how apps are going to work with the rest of operations - something most project management apps can make more complicated.
If you manage contacts, sales, invoicing, expenses, scheduling, and other needs, you would save a lot of time and money by going with an integrated system that puts all of this into one system for you. WORKetc puts CRM, project management, billing, and other tools together, and brings collaboration to every aspect of the system. You would be managing a client from the lead phase, through to projects, through to billing the client - all in the same app.

Is investing in cryptocurrency still profitable? | Whether it is worthwhile to invest in cryptocurrencies depends on each individual's financial objectives, risk tolerance, and investment plan.
On the one hand, cryptocurrencies have the potential to provide substantial returns and have historically shown tremendous price growth. For instance, early Bitcoin investors have experienced significant returns on their investments. Additionally, some investors may find the decentralisation and anonymity that cryptocurrencies offer to be attractive.
Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are extremely speculative and carry a high level of risk. You risk lose all of your money because of the extreme volatility and quick fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies. Additionally, there is a higher danger of fraud and other criminal behaviours because the bitcoin industry is still mostly uncontrolled.
It's crucial to conduct extensive research and carefully analyse your financial objectives and risk tolerance before making any investing decisions. To reduce risk, it's also a good idea to diversify your investing portfolio and speak with a financial counsellor.
[LINKED_TEXT: Making an investment in cryptocurrency can be hazardous but lucrative] [URL: https://sites.google.com/view/onlinemakemoneyfast/home]. Whether or whether it's worthwhile will depend on your unique situation and financial objectives.

From a purely statistical perspective, are the LA Lakers or the Chicago Bulls the best NBA franchise in history? | The Bulls aren't even in the race. Chicago’s NBA dominance lasted from 1991–1998, and that's about it. Before and after the MJ era, the Bulls haven't/didn't do much at all. Sure those years with Derrick Rose at his peak were good, but they didn't bring back much in terms of major success.
The Lakers however have had multiple era's of success, from Jerry West’s 1, to Showtime, to their early 2000’s 3peat, and their back to back in 2009 and 2010. Multiple titles, many retired jerseys, statues outside their arena, and loads of Hall of Famers too. Plus with LeBron being there, it's possible a new string of success will be in LA.

In the UK, can a resident get him/herself checked (e.g. blood tests, scans) for cancer free of charge on NHS? Can a GP refuse to arrange these checks because the client has no symptoms? | Yes you can, but you will have to somehow convince your GP that it's necessary. Preventive medicine is not really a big thing in the UK, with some notable exceptions. I did manage to get such scans when I was living in the UK, but it took several months before I managed to get past the “gatekeepers".
Furthermore, I know several people with chronic conditions (including cancer) who have had huge trouble seeing their doctor in the last few years, due to a covid backlog and a shortage of staff due to Brexit. So getting a routine check just to put your mind at ease may well be very challenging right now.
I admire the NHS, but it isn't in good shape.

What do gun fanatics have to say about the fact that there are over 130 studies proving that gun control works? Do they just deny the facts? | Those studies are wrong. According to CDC, Obama, etc. Guns are used orders of magnitude more often to stop crimes than cause them. So, whoops. Your commie ass loses.

For those who deny the Aryan migration theory, how can one explain the similarities between Sanskrit and European languages? | The Aryan Invasion Theory:The Final Nail in its Coffin (From a Chapter in "Advancements of Ancient India's VedicCulture') by Stephen Knapp
Here Stephen Knapp notes
“Let us remember that the idea that the Vedic Aryans came from outside of ancient India and entered the region to start what became the Vedic civilization is a foreign idea There was never any record, either historical, textual or archeological, that supports this premise for an Aryan invasion. There also is no record of who would have been the invaders. The fact is that it is a theory that came from mere linguistic speculation which happened during the nineteenth century when very little archeological excavation had yet been done around India. There have been many researchers who have tried to study the linguistics of the people to gather an indication of where the original homeland of the Vedic Aryans was actually located. This was done to either try to uphold or refute the idea of the Aryan Invasion Theory. In my book “Proof of Vedic Culture’s Global Existence”, I dealt with linguistics and word similarities to a degree, but this topic, in spite of all the research, study, and books written on whatever findings were made, has done little to absolutely establish with clarity the original home of the Vedic Aryans. Some scholars have always felt that the linguistic evidence is not sufficient to draw definite conclusions where the homeland of the Vedic Aryans was located. Linguistics amongst some scholars have always been a speculative process, at best arriving at various conjectures about the origins of particular cultures and languages. Others have been even more dismissive of the idea of reconstructing a hypothetical language based on words that remain present in spoken languages thousands of years later. Thus, in trying to understand the Vedic Aryans and where their homeland may have been by analysing some hypothetical Prot-Indo-European language that still has not been identified seems rather doubtful. At best, it may provide some basic hypothesis, which in reality may be most misleading. This alsoseems to say that there is little reason to hold the field of linguistics in such a high degree of respect, considering all the books that have been written that seem to use this process to determine so many conclusions, or conjectures, on the homeland of the Vedic Aryans.”
I agree with him entirely. Humans spoke before they began to write. Many of the word similarities such as words for Father (Pitra), mother, and several first encounters of a infat to child may have been solidified for exanple in a group of people say 60000 years back and they could have carried that forwards into different regions where Indo-European language was spoken. The people themselves may have been transformed by admixing with other populations. Why put a starting point for these very essential common words at a few thousands of years from now - that has no basis. It could be 50000 years from now and then people themselves could have changed homo sapiens mixing with small percent of Neanderthals and Denisovans. In conclusion linguistics does not give any answers to any Aryan tribe existing or migrating. One has to look for Archaeloghical evidence and there is none.

What is the most misunderstood picture that has become famous (or infamous)? | ◆The vulture and the little girl◆
The vulture and the little girl, also known as "The Struggling Girl", is a photograph by Kevin Carter which first appeared in The New York Times on 26 March 1993. It is a photograph of a frail famine-stricken boy, initially believed to be a girl, who had collapsed in the foreground with a vulture eyeing him from nearby. The child was reported to be attempting to reach a United Nations feeding center about a half mile away in Ayod, Sudan,(now South Sudan), in March 1993.
The picture won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography award in 1994.
【Criticism from world 】
As with many dramatic photographs, Carter came under criticism for this shot. The St. Petersburg Times in Florida wrote: “The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering, might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene”. The attitude that public opinion condemned was not only that of taking the picture instead of chasing the vulture immediately away, but also the fact that he did not help the girl afterwards –as Carter explained later.
【 The real story from kevin】
Carter took a special assignment in Sudan, where he shot the famous vulture photo. He spent a few days touring villages full of starving people. All the while, he was surrounded by armed Sudanese soldiers who were there to keep him from interfering. The photos below are evidence that even if he decided to help the little girl, the soldiers wouldn’t have allowed it. The first was shot by Carter himself.
After receiving a number of phone calls and letters from readers who wanted to know what happened to the little girl, the New York Times took a rare step and published an editor’s note describing what they knew of the situation. “The photographer reports that she recovered enough to resume her trek after the vulture was chased away. It is not known whether she reached the [feeding] center.”
One of the Carter’s friend said he would “talk about the guilt of the people he couldn’t save because he photographed them as they were being killed.” It was beginning to trigger a spiral into depression.
Four months after being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography, Carter died of suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning on July 27, 1994, at age 33.
While the world was congratulating Carter for this new feat and hoping it was the beginning of many more breakthroughs for him, the journalist was unfortunately very close to the end of his promising career. In his short life, Carter witnessed barbaric practices, injustice, and gruesome killings which took a fatal toll on him and further drove him into depression. In order to cope with these horrors, the award-winning photojournalist had to indulge in drugs which became part of his daily struggles. And this young man’s life ended just like that.

How can one become an expert in CFD? | For being expert in CFD, the first stage is being expert in Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer. Remember, you are using CFD to solve / capture the such physics. I generally say "CFD just validates one’s thinking". So you should have some visualization before you start using CFD.
As this is most discussed topic in the CFD community, I have written beginner's guide on "How to learn CFD?". This is for those who are just at the starting phase of learning CFD. This is not for those who know's CFD, but wants to sharpen the skill sets (or sometimes called as be experts).
Following is the link to beginner's guide:[LINKED_TEXT: LearnCAx | How to Learn CFD ? – The Beginner’s Guide] [URL: https://www.learncax.com/knowledge-base/blog/by-category/cfd/how-to-learn-cfd-the-beginners-guide]

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | Ergonomics. After extended use, your arms will become tired and uncomfortable.Mac software is designed to work with pixel perfect pointing devices whereas touch screens can only resolve a touch to within 10 or more pixels depending on the screen resolution. Software designed to work with a mouse doesn’t work well with touch input in most cases. Apple chose to optimize the software of each platform (Mac vs phone/tablet) for the input style available. The alternative would be to create applications with a more complex hybrid user interface to acomodate both pixel perfect and touch input.Apple places a higher value on simplicity and accessibility to the widest possible audience. If you prefer a hybrid user interface that affords both touch and mouse input, Macs aren’t designed for you. They are designed for the 90% of the market that values a simpler UI. I would be surprised if Apple started puting touch screens on Macs anytime soon. Since Apple only designs and builds a relatively small number of products, adding touch screens would be an awkward and wasteful compromise for most of their customer base.Being focussed on what Apple can do best is mostly about saying NO to things some people think are good ideas.Enjoy!

Can a 3000mAh battery be charged with a TP4056? | Yes, a 3000mAh battery can be charged with a TP4056 module. The TP4056 is a popular charging module commonly used for charging lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries. It is designed to handle various battery capacities, including 3000mAh.
The TP4056 module provides a regulated charging current to the connected battery. It typically allows for adjustable charging currents, usually ranging from around 100mA to 1000mA, depending on the specific module version. The charging current setting determines the time it takes to fully charge the battery.
When using the TP4056 module, it is important to ensure that the charging current is set within the acceptable limits of the battery being charged. The charging current should not exceed the maximum charging current specified by the battery manufacturer to prevent potential damage or overheating.
It's also worth noting that the TP4056 module is typically designed for single-cell lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries. If you are using a battery with multiple cells connected in series, additional circuitry, such as a battery protection circuit, may be required to ensure proper charging and cell balancing.
Always refer to the manufacturer's datasheet or guidelines for the TP4056 module and the specifications of the battery being charged to ensure compatibility and safe charging practices.
