As a proud Texan, I believe that for profit healthcare is the best system, it allows maximum profit for shareholders and companies. Why do folks in Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand think that they are entitled to free healthcare? | Another misconception from a clueless american...
Europe is NOT a country! It consists of dozens of independent countries. You confuse it with the EU, and not all of Europes countries are part of that. And by the way, the UK is a part of Europe but no longer, sadly, a part of EU.
Cheers!

Who is a better Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi or Manmohan Singh? | A woman who is working in the Indian Embassy in Germany wrote about Modiji in a post like this !
She wrote .........
When former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh came to Germany, he brought around 40 people with him who were his relatives.
A total of five hotels (all Five-Star) were booked for their stay.
All the relatives shopped in expensive Malls every day and bought things for lakhs and lakhs of Rupees.
The bills were charged in the name of the entire State Department.
This was the daily story throughout the currency of Manmohan Singh's tour.
The entire Indian-staff servant of the State Department used to dance in front of them all.
Manmohanji did not come to the Embassy even once or meet us.
Now when Modiji came to Germany twice as Prime Minister, the entire staff was expecting the same show again.
But I'm surprised he came all alone!
There is no army of relatives.
So only one floor of the hotel was fully booked for reasons of Security & Safety.
There is no shopping in the Malls
They are busy with work fulltime.
The Embassy staff was not allowed to do chamchagiri;
Rather, the staff continued to carry out the day-to-day tasks of their office.
In fact, we were so busy collecting all the data and putting it in the file folder that we could not go home for three days.
Despite his busy schedule, Modiji took some time out and came to the Embassy and gave credit to everyone for making the visit a success and they all had a cup of tea with him.
This is an introduction to a great person!
Friends, After years, you have got an honest Prime Minister, Respect him;
Teach them a lesson by defeating the opposition that degrades them every time and save the country.

If an atheist doesn't believe in God, do they also not believe in Satan? | Atheist dont believe in a God, Satan or the Sugar plum fairy 🧚♂️. Theist on the other hand believe in fairytale like stories, talking snakes, magical apple tree, walking on water, talking donkeys, two of every animal and insect on the entire earth walking and flying to one ark and living in it for 40 days and nights. People turning into salt blocks, giants living on the earth so big that mankind looks like grasshopper in comparison to them. I'll be here all day if I carry on. The best one is the guy living inside a big fish for 3 days, as if a fish has a living room and room service inside. I dont think these stories are meant ro be real accounts. Maybe allegory or just stories.

Do owners of racing cars (Lamborghini, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche etc) drive them around every day like when going for shopping or when going at work? Do they always have to watch their cars when parked in public to not get scratched/damaged by someone? | Most people that buy exotic cars don’t use them for basic things like shopping for groceries or going though a fast food drive through. These people use them as weekend cars or show cars to flaunt their wealth in people’s faces. I have seen some people daily some super cars and exotics like a Dodge Viper ACR, a Ferrari 550 Marenello, and a Porsche 911. So I guess you can use it for everyday things, but you’d have to worry about other people bumping it or crashing into you. They’re very careful with such delicate cars, so they tend to stay away from heavy traffic and packed parking lots.

Does your dog ever act as if you offended him/her? | Oh yeah. Many times. She loves to join us during every meal. She will sit, usually patiently, sometimes, not so much. She watches with great hope with every bite I take. She doesn't bother with my husband as much because he doesn't give into her pleading eyes and starving look that she has perfected. I usually give in and share a tiny bite here and there. I use it as a training tool. I make her sit, stay and then she gets a bite. She is very food oriented. She usually wags while she's eating.
When I get to what she knows is my last bite, she will scoot as close as possible, hoping and doggy praying that I will share. When I pop it into my mouth and say “all gone” she acts like I just crushed her very being. She won't even look at me as she puts her head down and moves to my husband to see if he has anything. If he doesn't, she hesitates as if thinking “you guys suck!” and then saunters over to her food, wag eating.
Here she is hoping for a bite. Those desparate eyes.
Her hearing “all gone”. Her eyes are different aren't they? Like I just offended her.

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? | If you have concerns then you should talk to your GP and they will be able to guide you.
That said, they are there for your medical needs not medical wants besides which you have no idea what you want anyway: What type of cancer, when might asymptomatic cancers be present, what pre-existing conditions, what family history, could any particular cancer run in families, what tests would be appropriate…?
Talk to your GP, but remember they are medical professionals not lackeys.

Is Sophie Turner on track to have the best Hollywood career amongst the Game of Throne cast? | She’s not very expressive, id say Maisie Williams probably has much more talent, but doesn’t have a Hollywood look, so will probably end up doing characterful stuff instead of blockbusters.

How do you get back into your Gmail if your account has been hacked and they changed the recovery password, your phone number, and everything about your account? | If they “changed everything”, just make another account.
If they are impersonating you, it’s a different matter.
Mostly I run into “changed everything”; in which case, unless the account is a Schelling Point, because I am very well known, I don’t care.
If they impersonate me in forums, then I take it personally.
It costs about $6,000 to make them stop.
This includes them being dead.
Are you soliciting the services of making the person in question dead?
Because, really, that’s a very big violation of the TOS (Terms Of Service) agreement, and is perhaps something you should discuss first with an attorney in your area, and then with someone other than me.
I do not “make people dead”, that’s my uncle.
I do not talk to my uncle because of it.
Try talking to the “make people dead” brigade directly.

What happens when you get pulled over doing 100 mph? | It didn’t happen to me, but I heard it from the road deputy who pulled the driver over. His VASCAR beeped, showing 153 mph, in a 55 zone. He didn’t believe it and ran it through the on-board calibration. Then the car went past him. VASCAR said 157. He believed it that time. Problem was he was the only deputy on the south end of the county, and his car topped out at 135. But he called it in, hit the lights and siren, and turned around, anyway. He actually caught up to the car pretty quickly because there was traffic on the road. That particular stretch is rather hilly, and there are multiple “no passing” zones. The driver pulled over right away. Deputy ran the plates, everything came back clean. Approached the car, and the kid (17 y.o.) already had his license, insurance, and registration in his hands. The officer asked him if he had any idea how fast he was going, and he said he didn’t. The officer told him it was 157 mph, and the kid said, “That’s about right, based on the tachometer.” The deputy told him, “No, that’s NOT RIGHT. What were you doing driving 157 miles per hour down my road?” The kid said that his girlfriend lived around one of the lakes further south in the county, and wanted to go shopping at the mall in the north of the county, and he needed to get her there before the stores closed. Turns out the kid has been working on this car for three years. Built it almost from the ground up, totally legit, receipts for everything. No “midnight auto parts.” The deputy called the kids parents to come get him, and impounded the car. As they parted, the deputy told the kid, “I’ll be in court when your case comes up, and I expect you to tell the judge the same thing you just told me.”
Traffic court. 82 in a 70, 66 in a 50, 44 in a 30, the usual stuff. Bailiff hands the judge another folder. Judge opens the folder, and practically shouts, “157 MILES AN HOUR!!” Deputy said the courtroom got so quiet you could hear hair grow. Bailiff called the kid forward, and the judge asked him, “What were you doing driving down my roads at 157 miles an hour?” Kid looked around, and there was the deputy, watching him. Kid told the judge the same things about the girlfriend and the mall. Judge said, “Well young man, in our state driving is a privilege, not a right, and your actions demonstrate that you are not yet capable of discharging the necessary responsibility that goes with the privilege. Your license is revoked until you are 21, and your car will remain off my roads until that time.” The young man asked, “How will I get around?” The judge said, “There are bicycles. Next case!” Deputy said everyone else that session was exceedingly polite to the judge.

Will Node.js replace many backend technologies? | Agree with [LINKED_TEXT: Alan Mellor] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Alan-Mellor], I think we are at peak Node now, I don’t know very many people who use it, and fewer who would use it again.
I know people working on Node projects, but they are generally projects they were saddled with, not projects they’d choose to be working on. If given the choice to rewrite, they would not use Node, I’d guarantee that.
You can run good languages on Node.js like TypeScript, but it’s not like other good languages don’t exit elsewhere, and run on better runtimes than Node.js. Kotlin, C#, Go, I’d pick those over Node.js, easily.
I’d use Node.js over Python or PHP, yes, but not over the JVM, .NET options or Go.
I think Node.js had it’s Ruby on Rails moment, where it seemed everybody wanted to use it, and then nobody did.

Why are the Kannadigas the least known among South Indians? | Kannadigas don't have very many negative things to talk about. There is hardly any drama there. While Tamil Nadu has had major anti-Hindi protests, Kerala stands out as a Communist bastion and Andhra Pradesh went through a very messy divorce with Telangana, Karnataka hardly has that kind of masala news. Temples and mosques are not destroyed, trains are not burned, cities are not bombed and there is no major caste or religious violence. Nature also blesses them with fewest of natural disasters [touchwood]. All makes for very little Karnataka related story in the front page.
On a related note, there was hardly any migration out of Karnataka - especially in the past couple of centuries. This is possibly due to fewer agricultural disasters and better governance. In contrast, Tamil Nadu and Kerala have had major outbound migrations and so did Punjab, Bihar and Gujarat.
Due to the migrations, Tamils are everywhere. Besides being a major language of Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka, it has very active communities across the world. These migrant communities help educate the locals about Tamil culture, build Tamil temples, run Tamil schools etc.
Besides having had good governance relative to other Indian states, Karnataka didn't have many ports either. Its access to the coast is quite rocky. Both these limited outbound migrations and thus outsiders would not have had interactions with Kannadigas.

What will happen to the twin flame runner if he does not do the inner healing work? | You are your twin, so that question to me, is moot. It’s all about you healing you and that healing being reflected back to you by your twin (and/or the trigger) The concept of running and chasing is not external to you, it is within you. You are separated from God source energy (separation) and then you rejoin/reconnect with God source and you are back to your heart space.
What will happen is nothing, for you are a team, you are a single unit working together, the DF energy (heart/intuition) will keep seeking the deeper spiritual realm which will naturally pull up the DM (logical/thinking/action) energy and together they will become whole independently and then, together.
Do not worry about what is going with them or their journey for each has a unique journey planned from birth you cannot change or influence, you can only work on yourself and trust that this is all your twin needs to do for your part of the connection. I KNOW what I say and I do is reflected in my twin’s behaviour, it’s uncanny how much this is my reality.
I remember telling him a few weeks ago, “wouldn’t it be great if, when you felt like leaving the connection (ie being unfaithful) to your partner, )you could talk it through instead of doing that” and just Friday he told me that he talked through a departure scenario with his current karmic. He was getting better at speaking about his feelings than anything and I’ve noticed, that he is talking more and more about his other relationships (I don’t ask, and to be honest, I certainly don’t want to hear but I do). I listen to his challenges and try to help if I can but what’s important is I see he hears me.
It was like last fall when I said “when you are with many you hurt them all” and he committed to her a few weeks later. He did say “who’s hurting who”, “they all know about how I feel and they CHOOSE to stay”. I said that’s like punching someone in the face (to me) and saying “this is going to hurt” and him saying “but I told you I was going to do it”.
Having said that I sort of got it. We CHOOSE to stay in the connection when we are not happy, we choose to accept less and this is us abusing ourselves. This is why standing in your own power and accepting nothing less than you deserve is key to loving yourself is key to this journey.
You cannot do the work for your twin, you can only do YOU and hope that they pick up on their own growth through you. You can only model the behaviour you want over and over until it sticks.
I was in the grocery store yesterday and a couple was at the check out, all I heard him say to her was “You don’t have to fucking yell” as he stormed off without her. It was loud enough for me and the cashier to hear and the lady did nothing. Later as I stepped up to the cash I said “well, wasn’t that a piece of abuse we witnessed” and then I said, “but she is accepting, thus she feels she deserves no better treatment. The cashier actually asked me if I was in psychology (she was quite young) and I said no and she said “You seem to know a lot about human behaviour”.
WE choose what we accept as treatment, this is something we must all learn, to show others how best to treat us. Your twin is affected by everything you do so keep doing you and working on you and know that together the healing happens.

What are some short stories about wives? | A short and Sweet story about a wife.
My wife got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and problems with children. She has lost 30 pounds and weighted about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She 1was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs. She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day. Our relationship was on the verge of break up. Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role. I lost hope and thought that we’ll get divorced soon ... But then I decided to act on it. After all I’ve got the most beautiful woman on the earth. She is the ideal of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her shoulders. I began to pepper her with flowers, kisses and complements. I surprised her and pleased every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends. You won’t believe, but she has blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much.
And then I realized one thing: "The woman is the reflection of her man"

What do I need to know about the University of Toronto? | No lie, University of Toronto makes first-year as tough as it can, I’ve met people from Rotman School of Commerce that have little to no social life because they spend all their time trying to maintain a 3.5 GPA plus because that’s along the lines of what Rotman requires. I once heard someone complain about ‘just getting 85% on a test’…yikes!
First of all understand that the University of Toronto one of the most prestigious, most historically renowned University in Canada. So congrats to you getting into begin with, I’ll offer a few of my tips as below.
Go to Class!!!! Now this may seem obvious but now in my 3rd year, it’s more obvious than ever, with attendance records on the line and knowing exactly who’s in your class this can be a potential game-changer. I used to sleep in and throw off going to class until I realized that the content taught in class, is what’s going to come on the test. Pretty much common sense right? Also, if you attend your classes you will befriend others in your same program of study. This way you can pick out who seems to understand the subject the best to either pepper them with questions, work on past papers or form study groups. Helpful right?You don’t need to buy your textbooks. Now the professor may stand in the front of the humongous lecture hall on the first day and tell everyone which textbook is required and dadada, but honestly the only ones I spent my money on were the ones that required either an online sign-in online homework that’s connected to TopHat (a subscription based service) and textbooks that I wanted to read. Honestly, they’re not worth the hassle. Professors usually upload lecture slides, and the material and content they provide in class is usually content. A lot of my fellow classmates usually rent out the exact same textbook in the Library anyway. It’s a good way to save several hundred dollars that you can better spend on food and outings with your friends.Go to Office Hours. Yeah that’s right, go on a one on one meeting with your professor, get to know them, let them know you. Look them in the eye and show them you want to succeed, let them know, let them know you stand out from the 500 students that in the same lecture hall as you. Sure there may be others that line up to go to office hours, but trust me it’s worth it. Knowing UofT as much as professors deny it, there IS a bell-curve and professors decide which students they take marks off of during tests / assignments and so forth. If they don’t know you / don’t recognize your name. You might find yourself asking…hey I got 75 all year long why is my final grade as 68? Hmm maybe if you had known the professor a bit better you could ask.Don’t be anti-social. Some people that I knew used to know actually got depression and dropped out as a result of this. Why? UofT is a HUGE school, yeah it’s huge. And that’s what could make you feel lonelier than you’ve ever felt before. Don’t be afraid to reach out and make friends, but choose wisely. University is full of different people, I have friends on a very wide spectrum on one hand I’m friends with a Canada top 20 under 20 student who goes on motivational speaking tours, Ted Talks and Microsoft talks and the other end of the spectrum I also know drug dealers. So yeah, welcome to UofT I guess.Don’t take things so personally. I was so excited the summer that I was going to UofT that I joined a ton of Facebook Groups to get associated with the Future Class of 2020 and proceeded to be friends with exactly 1 one of the close to 100 people I met on the platform. Why is that? People online are different to people you meet in real life. I once greeted a person that I had met on the platform and he disregarded me with a disinterested nod before walking around me and laughing it off with his 2 female compadres.Remember Grades Aren’t Everything. If this happens to you, and I hope it doesn’t because it really sucks and you find yourself facing a failed test / or course or assignment…just know it’s not the end of the world. They do not define you, it might make getting into graduate school harder if you’re trying to do a Masters or an MBA Medicine or Law but it’s not the end. If you feel like you can’t pass a course, drop it so it doesn’t affect your GPA. I knew people who graduated UofT with a minimal CGPA—in fact close to the point of academic probation and they still managed to nab themselves a good job at a good firm. Now at barely 27/28 they’re planning their home purchase already.Your T-Card is important! On the first day of school / frosh-week you’ll probably go to get your unique T-Card on it will be your UofTID as well — the same one to login to Wifi and whatnot. Don’t lose it! If you lose it, I believe it costs $50 to replace. Anyway, that’s not the whole point. The T-Card is used universally across three campuses. Which means you can take the bus from UT St.George to UTM and use the gym facilities you can check books out and so forth. The same goes for if you want to visit anybody you know at UT Scarborough, you can use the gorgeous and fully-equipped Toronto Pan Am Center and all of it’s facilities for free (well technically you pay for it for your school fees but still).Allocate your time and spend it wisely. Don't get burnt out, don’t go out too much, don’t spend all your time in the gym. Space it out and divide your time up, if you have class—go to class and then you can hit the gym. If you don’t have class, don’t neglect catching up on all your notes that you took in class in the Library. Time is your most valuable asset in University, use it wisely.DO Past Exams. Usually the professors like to mention that the exam format has changed it’s different and whatnot but no, trust me it’s worth it. I once had a professor tell me again and again how the department has changed the test is not the same, it’s not the same. I opened the exam and there it was the exact same Multiple Choice Questions. MCQ’s and Short Answer make up the majority of tests in UofT which is a relief. No more essay-styled answers—unless if you take some kind of Sociology course. Practice the questions on the past exams over and over again, I suggest going back 3–4 years and practicing all of the exams. You can do this by accessing the past exams portal which you can find on the main website and on Blackboard as well.Have the best years of your life. It’s hard, it’s tough, and you think it’ll never be over but once you’re graduated you’re done. You're no longer a kid, a teen, an adolescent, young adult, no no you’re a full-blown adult now. Enjoy your years at University as hard as they may be, network when you can, join events, groups, take your classes seriously, keep in shape and good luck!

I’m doing some restoration work on an old barn. The barn used to be red colored. Is there a specific barn red color that was used in the early 1900s? Why did they use red anyway? | Question: “[LINKED_TEXT: I’m doing some restoration work on an old barn. The barn used to be red colored. Is there a specific barn red color that was used in the early 1900s? Why did they use red anyway?] [URL: https://www.quora.com/unanswered/I-m-doing-some-restoration-work-on-an-old-barn-The-barn-used-to-be-red-colored-Is-there-a-specific-barn-red-color-that-was-used-in-the-early-1900s-Why-did-they-use-red-anyway]”
The color you want is called…wait for it…Exterior Flat Red Barn and Fence Paint.
Every paint company sells a red paint called Barn & Fence Red. The Pantone Color is 18–1531 TCX.
Historically in the United States the reason barns were painted red was that barns are big (hard to find small cows) and require a lot of paint, and red paint was at the time the cheapest paint one could buy. There was also supposedly a known old European tradition of painting barns with linseed oil to which iron oxide had been added as a pigment and, perhaps, as a fungicide.
In the United States from the early 19th century until 1980 the pigment used for the red color was red lead.

How do I get someone's name by their mobile number? | A linguistic interpretation of the mechanics of the punch line response is posited by Victor Raskin in his Script-based Semantic Theory of Humor. Humor is evoked when a trigger, contained in the punch line, causes the audience to abruptly shift its understanding of the story from the primary (or more obvious) interpretation to a secondary, opposing interpretation. "The punch line is the pivot on which the joke text turns as it signals the shift between the [semantic] scripts necessary to interpret the joke text. To produce the humor in the verbal joke, the two interpretations (i.e. scripts) need to be both compatible with the joke text and opposite or incompatible with each other.

Why does the hand phaser in the Star Trek reboot switch from red to blue? | There's a flaw in your question, there's never been a reboot in Star Trek. Maybe you are talking about the Kelvin Universe, which is not a reboot, it's an alternate timeline (which is not a new concept, there's been numerous episodes of the franchise that had different timelines)

How does the Canadian healthcare system prevent people from going to the doctor excessively when they aren't sick, with no copays and deductibles? | In the UK the front desk screen you when you book an appointment. This serves three purposes
To make sure you see the right person, doctor, nurse, health visitor (prenatal and postnatal care), phone appointment.
To give the person seeing the patient an idea of the problem to read up on any existing history.
To weed out the time wasters by offering a phone appt.
If this fails and one get through, the pharmacy get a good laugh when a prescription for 32 Paracetamol tablets, 200ml Magnesium trisilicate or Strepsiles (throat lozenge). We referred to these as WOT scripts (Waste Of Time).

Do you think Mark Cuban would make a good POTUS? | Absolutely not, Too thin skinned when you disagree or tell him something he does not want to hear. Gets mad/annoyed too easily.

What are the rules of cooking in clay pots? What are it's pros and cons? | Well, there are a few things to keep in mind when cooking in clay pots.
First, you'll want to make sure you're using the right kind of [LINKED_TEXT: cooking pots] [URL: https://www.mudkart.com/browse/cooking-pots]. There are two kinds: unglazed and glazed (or non-stick). Unglazed is better because it won't leach chemicals into your food. It's also better if you're cooking something that needs to be soaked or boiled before cooking in it—like beans or grains—as it will hold on to more water than a glazed pot will.
The second thing is that you need to make sure that your clay pot has been properly cured before use; otherwise, it can have an off-taste and smell.
After that, cooking with a clay pot is pretty similar to cooking with any other type of pan—just make sure you don't use metal utensils on it!
|
What is the string theory about? | Read the book “The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality” by Professor Brian Greene. It's not written in using a lot of math but explains the concepts in an easily readable way. He has written several books on the topic.
Also try viewing his many public presentations on YouTube. His audiences include many well-known physicists so there's not a lot of BS going on.

Do they have stereotypical "American food" restaurants in other countries, and do they serve any "American foods" that aren't actual American? | I am pretty sure that any “American foods” they serve in other countries — especially the UK — are not actually American foods.
Take the fries they serve in McDonalds in UK.
From what I understand American McDonalds fries are…….. very, very bad for you. They have all sorts of shit on them that do not belong on chips. Bacon grease for example — I mean what the fuck?
In the UK they are far more healthy. Not completely healthy — they are still fries. But compared to American fries……… they are a like a salad.
This is essentially what I mean by the UK not serving American foods in “American food” restaurants. They serve UK versions of American food, which essentially translate to healthy versions of American food.

Have you left California and if so, why? | Why? It seems as though common sense has escaped a majority of the population.
Union rule, education dead last in the country, homelessness, gas prices, housing and medical costs, on and on, with no fix in sight.
Safely tucked away in Tucson AZ. Would never again live where I once considered to be my home state. What a pity.

Why are HDMI cords so expensive? | Expensive HDMI cables are a rip-off and offer no difference in picture quality over cheap ones. So when a salesman tries to up-sell, politely tell him he's wrong and move on with the sale. Right now you can buy a 6-foot-long HDMI cable for $3.50.

What are your late growth spurt stories? | Facebook profile pictures come in handy. I decided to only use simular casual snapshots for these, because I look so much better in professional photos that I don't think it would be a fair comparison.
2012. This is during the phase when I dyed my hair brown.
2013. I was losing elasticity in my face, especially noticeable in my jawline.
2014. This is the year I started noticing neck wrinkles.
2015. My smile lines were becoming more prominent and I began fretting about my eye and forehead wrinkles. I began filling in my brows. I also put on extra weight after some injuries and changes to my exercise habits. My freckles are more noticeable as I started wearing sunscreen less.
2016. I just realized this is my only photo with glasses. I don't wear contact lenses as regularly as I did in the past, as my near vision is getting increasingly worse. Other than that I don't think I look much different, though I am more assiduous with my skincare. I've been wearing short sleeves more so my arms are liberally freckled, but makeup covers most of the freckles on my face.
The most significant metamorphosis, as you say, started more than five years ago. When I was in my late 30s, I left my then-husband and started divorce proceedings. The last five years have been more of a more gradual change, learning to love myself, to speak up for myself, and to stop hiding so much. I'm more open with people, I've stopped covering up my red hair, and I've started leaving my arms and even my legs, often, uncovered. I'm learning how to ask for what I need and to have more faith in myself. I'm confident as a parent, with a teenage son to be proud of, and I have friends I can rely on.

Which country is a better place to live in: Singapore or Hong Kong, and why? | It depends on what what kind of lifestyle you want. The stereotype is that Singapore has a better living environment while HK is more lively and convenient.
Arguments for HK:
Bigger, more to explore, greater variety of neighborhoodsBetter, cheaper transport systemMore energy. This is hard to explain but almost universally held to be true. Singapore can feel a bit too "small town" after you've been there for a few years. More beautiful. Both the skyline and natural scenery are absolutely amazing -- when you can see them through the smog.
Arguments for Singapore:
Better natural environment. Greener, and much cleaner air.Cheaper and better quality housing (Singapore housing is expensive, but HK is like another planet)More diverse -- Chinese/Indian/Malay as well as people from many other places. HK is pretty much exclusively Chinese outside of a few expat areas.

What does the British word "bint" refer to? | When used in a British English context it refers to a woman of low status.
It is generally a derogatory term, although, in some relationships it is a term of endearment, rather like two persons of colour referring to each other using the ’N’ word.
When used correctly in some Arabic dialects it means wife.

English is an almost grammar-less language. — Richard Grant White. What do you make of this statement? | I think that statement is misleading in many ways.
English can never be grammar- less ,with rules governing usage of adjectives , adverbs , nouns , articles , the phrases and clauses and etc.. not forgetting the * killer* tenses.
But due to the flexibility English allows , those not in the know may think we can juggle the words as we like , seeing nouns and adjectives being verbalized at random. Adjectives become nouns and nouns become adjectives , but the grammatic rules still stay supreme. These characteristics of the English Language are seldom seen in other languages.

The justice department has told the state of Missouri that they can’t void federal gun laws. What would the justice department seek to do if the state went ahead with their plans anyways? Have many states pushed back against the federal government? | There is a line from Star Wars. “The more you tighten your grip, the more (states) will slip through your fingers.”
California started it with the sanctuary state laws. Now states are going to start pushing back against federal violations of the Constitution. I'm personally waiting for the oil producing states to kick the federal government out of the state oil producing and refining business.

What would a child of Thor and Wonder Woman be like? | I’m guessing powerful.

How did a plane crash on the upper floors of the World Trade Center result in the entire building collapsing? | Something most people miss is that all that fuel, from both jets fueled for cross-country flights, was subject to gravity, and likely flowed down the elevator & HVAC shafts, to the basement, which was connected to all the other nearby buildings by underground tunnels, possibly creating several huge Bunson burners. Explaining why building seven also burned & collapsed. Conspiracy theorists love to refer to the fire chief saying over the radio ‘pull it', claiming THAT was instructions to explode pre-placed charges & drop the building….with rescuers still inside! HOGWASH!!! I would say ‘pull it' meant to pull all rescue workers out of the buildings, as the buildings were visably distorting & obviously about ready to collapse. Not to say that there may have/have not, been government officials who knew ahead of time that there was an attack planned. After witnessing how far America's #DeepState traitors have gone to conspire with a marxist dictator to destroy America, and to destroy & remove a duly elected President, nothing can be automatically discounted as #FakeNews anymore without serious consideration.

How can I stop repeating myself when creating a object nested in a object in JavaScript? | As [LINKED_TEXT: Jonathan Campbell] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Jonathan-Campbell-32] said, I would recommend to use array like this:
var some_fruit = [ { name: 'apple', taste: 'sweet', amount: 5, color: 'red' }, { name: 'orange', taste: 'sweet', amount: 3, color: 'orange' }, { name: 'lemon', taste: 'sour', amount: 2, color: 'yellow' } ];
Then you can Make use of javascript object constructors and Do something like:
var Fruit = function(name, taste, amount, color) { this.name = name; this.taste = taste; this.amount = amount; this.color = color; }; var some_fruit = [ new Fruit('apple', 'sweet', 5, 'red'), new Fruit('orange', 'sweet', 3, 'orange'), new Fruit('lemon', 'sour', 2, 'yellow') ];

What is your review of Independence Day (1996 movie)? | Where America Saves the World, except for the montage scene where foreigners were briefly shown doing things.
The Africans brought...sticks? Are you fucking kidding me?
It's difficult to find a movie with as airtight and detail-oriented plot as Independence Day. It definitely wasn't written and pitched in a mutli-week cocaine binge, so I don't know why people keep bringing that up.If you've ever wondered "How long will an interstellar conflict last?" the answer is indisputably 2 days.
Anyways, this movies has it all. In what is perhaps the most realistic plot point, Marine Will Smith has a stripper girlfriend with a Heart o' Gold.
USA and boobs!
Jeff Goldblum is still 90s hot and pensive, and his dad plays the most overbearing New York Jewish stereotype since the last time Mel Brooks made a movie. Considering ze direktur iss German, I suspect this might be a hate crime.
Morty, have you called your mother? She's worried sick about you? Morty?
Anyways, if you can get over the fact that aliens who flew through the vast emptiness of space need to slowly get within hundreds of feet from the ground to blast humanity to extinction one city at a time (no one tell the aliens about nukes, amirite?), than this movie is awesome.
Omygod, a weapon that destroys an entire city! This was terrifying in 1950.
It also has the best speech of all time from a US President real, fictional, or imaginary. I still write in a vote for Bill Pullman in presidential, state, municipal, and local elections to this day. It's a civic duty, goddammit.
The speech is worth quoting in full. Spoiler alert?
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:"We will not go quietly into the night!We will not vanish without a fight!We're going to live on!We're going to survive!"Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
I've got a patro-US boner right here just reading that to myself.
The only downside of the whole movie is that the aliens have been completely wiped out as a species, leaving no possible room for a plausible sequel. It's a shame. If only somebody could do something.

Who really runs the world? | The question of who really runs the world is a complex one with many different perspectives. Here are some possible answers based on the search results:
The United Nations: According to a Forbes article[LINKED_TEXT: 1] [URL: https://www.forbes.com/sites/hbsworkingknowledge/2014/12/01/who-really-runs-the-world-a-new-study-of-the-u-n-sheds-some-light/?sh=5528405d14cb], the Secretariat of the United Nations plays key roles in agenda-setting for various deliberative UN organizations and manages global issues such as climate change, peacekeeping, and human rights.China: An article from The Economist[LINKED_TEXT: 2] [URL: https://www.economist.com/special-report/2020/06/18/who-runs-the-world] suggests that China has been building channels of influence outside the institutions that America designed and is taking an active part in leading the reform of the global governance system.Individuals with power: A Literary Hub article[LINKED_TEXT: 3] [URL: https://lithub.com/who-really-runs-the-world-on-power-and-how-we-perceive-it/] explores the concept of power and how we perceive it.

Why is there so little trash on the streets of Vancouver, British Columbia, relative to any other city, such as San Francisco? | It might have something to do with citizenry concern for keeping streets clean, a d willing to pay for it.
I live in a small town in O tario.
Trash must be separated by trash, glass ,paper and cardboard.
Then cardboard is segregated. Boxes, then TV dinner boxes, then paper cups.
On each bag the resident must put a sticker, costing 2 dollars each.
This pays for the town sweeping the streets each day. On my street, every morning at 530, a machine sweeper drives by.
In the us, most people do not separate trash, even though there may be a law.putting it in a dumpster.
Even if separated, it goes to a landfill, or is dumped in the ocean, if the state is near an ocean.
So, environmentally minded Americans, separating trash, can rest assured that their cigarette butts and beer bottles, sorted very nicely, are going to the same landfill as the careless person just tossing bottles from a car window.
Those tens of thousands of tons of trash, make me feel kind of dumb, recycling my 20 pounds of trash each month.
Ten thousand tractor trailers , in ocean transport, get washed overboard each year.
Millions of tons of garbage in ocean gyres, plastic bottle islands , and we think we are doing something.
But, the streets are clean.

The justice department has told the state of Missouri that they can’t void federal gun laws. What would the justice department seek to do if the state went ahead with their plans anyways? Have many states pushed back against the federal government? | Ultimate push back by the Feds could be cutting Federal spending and subsidies to a State that won't play by the rules. Montana is big net recipient of Federal money so they could lose out in a big way. The southern states caved on desegregation back in the 60s, I don't see why other states would not do so or a far less major issues of the little gun regulation feds actually require now or are likely to in the future.

What does the British word "bint" refer to? | I see that other respondents have asserted that ‘Bint’ is a loan word from Arabic, adopted by British Serviceman in the Middle East…
I cannot be sure, but I think that, while it was first adopted by British Soldiers, it actually comes from the Far East (towit Malaysia).
My source for this, if I recall correctly, is the, now deceased, English Journalist and Writer, Leslie Thomas, who served as a soldier in Malaya during the 1950’s … he reports that ‘Bint’ was the Malay term for wife, but the the licentious soldiery vulgarized it to refer to any young woman, especially one of easy virtue.
He may have been mistaken, but he does seem to have *some* knowledge of Malay…

If you were ancient Egyptian royalty, would you renounce your gods and trade a life of riches and luxury to walk with Moses in the desert? | Nope. Moses was not a real person.

He is no more real than Odysseus, Hercules, or any other character from epic myth.

How has being raised by extremely strict parents affected you as an adult? | Ruined me. Force feeding someone something only makes them hate it more. My parents literally beat the life out of me.

Who would win in a matchup, 1988 Mike Tyson or 2020 Tyson Fury? | You have to love Fanboys who ignore what Fury himself says, (he says Mike would knock him out in the first round!).
Mike Tyson hit twice as hard, was twice as fast, and more skilled, than Fury. If somehow mythically they met, timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmber!
CREDIT PICTURE METRO
The only thing Fury has on Mike is he is bigger.
That’s it.
Oh, I can hear it already, the Fury-lovers saying “Fury is 90 pounds heavier and a foot taller, how could he possibly beat him!” Because bigger size differences have been overcome quite easily in boxing!
The same fanboys worship at the alter of “bigger is better” without remembering the biggest truism in boxing, as Floyd Mayweather says:
“Skills pay the bills.”
The fanboys ignore what Fury himself says - and Fury, like Mike Tyson, is a serious student of boxing history and calls it like he sees it
Fury makes no bones about the fact he believes Mike Tyson would have knocked him out in the first round.
According to Tyson Fury, he would have been knocked out by Iron Mike Tyson in the first round.
After Deontay Wilder made his comments about Mike Tyson a while back, Fury spoke up defending Iron Mike, and then, after a reporter asked how he himself would have done against Tyson, Fury said this:
Speaking to TMZ Fury said there would be no contest if he fought ‘Iron’ Mike back in his prime:
“Yeah, I think Mike Tyson would have knocked me out in 30 seconds.”
The reporter asked was he serious to which Fury replied:
“Yeah.”

Fury is no fool. He was able to substitute size for power with Wilder because Wilder had not a clue how to counter Fury’s bullying tactics. Somebody like a Joe Frazier or a Mike Tyson would slip up under his guard and beat his body like a giant Gypsy bongo drum.
Bigger is not better, and bigger men than Fury have fallen to smaller men than Mike Tyson…
Former two time world champion and current trainer Buddy McGirt said:
“Bigger is not better. People always think that -- but it's not better…It's not the bigger man that's going to win the fight, it's the better man -- and the smarter man. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.”
And Lord, could the dog in Mike Tyson bite…
Great fighters in much smaller classes have frequently beaten far larger men.
Middleweight Sam Langford at 161 drew with Heavyweight contender Sam McVeigh who weighed 201.Welterweight Charley Burley beat heavyweight Jay Turner on March 13, 1942, and Turner weighed 219 1/2 pounds to Burley’s 151! He outweighed Charley by 68 pounds, and had a record of 24–22 so he was not a bum. Jay was also 6 inches taller than Charley!
Jack Blackburn, history’s greatest trainer, said it best about fighting far less skilled big men:
“Don’t worry about him being no giant, by the time you’re done, he be a foot tall laying on the damn canvas!”
As for much smaller heavyweights beating up far bigger heavyweights:
all time heavyweight Primo Carnera, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, was the #2 contender when he fought Joe Louis. The 6′6″ Carnera had an 85 inch reach, equal to Fury, and weighed a rock solid 260 (Carnera was literally a circus strongman before boxing!). Nonetheless, Louis knocked Carnera down 3 times before the referee stopped the beating. Primo was 63 1/2 pounds heavier than Joe, with the most knockouts of any heavyweight champion and the former Undisputed Heavyweight Champion - and Joe beat him like a bongo drum.top heavyweight contender Buddy Baer and heavyweight contender Abe Simon were also both huge men, and Louis beat them into retirement.Buddy Baer, 6′6 1/2 ″, was the #7 contender when he met Louis, and he nearly matched Tyson Fury in height, had almost the same reach, and was 250 pounds of muscle, when Joe Louis knocked him out in the first round. Baer retired after fighting Louis. He outweighed Joe by 44 pounds and 53 of his 57 wins were by knockout. it didn’t make a bit of difference, Joe sparked him out in 2 minutes and change.The 6′4 1/2″ Abe Simon, was the #5 contender when he met Louis, had an 82 inch reach, and he weighed 255 pounds of muscle. Louis stopped Abe in the 6th round after beating on him all night. Simon also retired after the beating Louis gave him. He had 47 pounds of muscle on Joe, and oh well…
Bigger men than that have lost despite having bigger size advantages
Nikolay Valuev, the two time WBA heavyweight champion (ranked historically ahead of Fury, by the way!), was soundly beaten by David Haye, who was best at cruiserweight. Valuev was 9 inches taller than Haye, and 99 pounds heavier, with 8 inches of reach advantage.Valuev also lost to Ruslan Chagaev, who was 91 pounds lighter, and 11 inches shorter, and had 14 inches less reach.Haye beat Valeuv easily by using constant movement and slick footwork to dart in and out, hitting Valuev at will, and not providing the biggest man to ever hold a title much to hit. Oh, Valeuv was 99 pounds heavier.Chagaev, 90 3/4 pounds lighter, beat Valeuv by going inside and throwing harder and more accurate punches, especially vicious body shots, under and inside the giant’s reach.
And other smaller, but tough and powerful sluggers have beaten up giants.
Jack Dempsey, the original Mauler, was 58 pounds lighter than Jess Willard and 6 inches shorter - and he knocked Willard down 7 times in the first round alone!Jack also imposed his will, and style, on Willard. Dempsey darted inside, and beat the stuffing out of the big man.Max Baer was 54 pounds lighter than Primo Carnera - and knocked the big man down 11 times and sent him to the hosptial! Max was able to box outside, but chose to come inside, and beat the big man up, staying inside his long jab.
Max Baer said it best, when asked about fighting the gigantic Primo Carnera, Max laughed and said:
“There’ll be a lot more of him to hit!”
Tyson Fury may be huge and can talk a good game…but…
BUT, as Lennox Lewis so wittily said:
“Never has a man so big punched so small!”
Fury beats an old man and a guy who can’t box, and has one other universally ranked opponent in 13 years and fanboys are elevating him to greatness! What a joke!
He simply has not earned all time greatness…or even the title of best right now. He needs to beat Oleksandr Uysk and Anthony Joshua, plus Fat Andy Ruiz, before braying about being the best in 1,000 years.
The fanboys who parrot the line that Tyson Fury has proven all time greatness have forgotten the most basic tenet of boxing. As Jack Blackburn, Hall of Fame trainer and fighter says:
“We are the business of winning fights. The guy who beats the best the most often is top dog”
And Tyson Fury has not done that.
How about showing you can defeat the other contenders right now, Tyson Fury?
He is huge, with a high ring IQ and courage.
He is also not a great athlete, not particularly strong, not a great puncher, and has little speed. He lumbers about like Lurch from the Adam’s Family, without Lurch’s strength. Pure courage, high ring IQ, and great fundamentals are the secret to Fury beating far, far, superior athletes.
Past greats would have disposed of him handly, says former champ Larry Holmes:
“I would've knocked Fury out,” Holmes stated firmly. “I would've hit him in the body, head, then circled around. Hit him with right hands and left hooks. I ain't going to stand there and trade with him like Wilder did.:
Fury is undefeated because he has avoided facing anyone who is a real threat.
The Great Jack Blackburn said it best:
“Boxing is the ultimate you gotta win business. You can have Joe Louis talent but if you have a Chub Crawford record you ain’t the best, you’re just not.”
Tyson Fury has a Chub Crawford record. The only thing he is great at is bragging. In bragging the Big Blowhard is the best of all time.
in 15 years, Tyson Fury has fought exactly 3 universally ranked fighters, and only two of them were ranked #3 or higher. One of the two was 39, one can’t box. Fury will actually have to fight some contenders in order to risk a loss. Fury has not fought ANY of the top 10 except Wilder and Whyte, who he was sure he could beat.
Jack Blackburn, history’s greatest trainer, had the best, and simplest test for greatness:
“Who you beat, when did you beat them, how did you beat them, did you rematch them?”
But Jack had a caveat to that test that clearly applies here:
“You get more credit for losing to Joe Louis than you do beating Chub Crawford.”
Fury never faced the best, he made sure he fought the Chub Crawford’s, the Derek Chisora’s of boxing…
Certainly Oleksandr Usyk - who Fury has ducked - does not have respect for Fury’s abilities
Oleksandr Usyk’s promoter, Alexander Krassyuk, who tried to entice Fury to be his fighter’s next opponent after Anthony Joshua, believes the Gypsy King (and Wilder) are not skilled enough to handle Usyk.
Krassyuk said dismissively after the last Fury-Wilder go around:
“Wilder and Fury, in the shape they performed in the fight are a sweet dessert for Usyk because none of them performed with boxing skills, if Usyk shows his technique, his style of technique, I don’t think either Fury or Wilder can do anything serious to Usyk.”
[LINKED_TEXT: Neither Tyson Fury Nor Deontay Wilder Have Boxing Skills to Match Oleksandr Usyk, Says Promoter - Nigerian SketchNeither Tyson Fury Nor Deontay Wilder Have Boxing Skills to Match Oleksandr Usyk, Says Promoter, Alexander Krassyuk.https://nigeriansketch.com/neither-tyson-fury-nor-deontay-wilder-have-boxing-skills-to-match-oleksandr-usyk-says-promoter/] [URL: https://nigeriansketch.com/neither-tyson-fury-nor-deontay-wilder-have-boxing-skills-to-match-oleksandr-usyk-says-promoter/]Usyk himself refers to Fury as:
“fat belly.”
Joe Louis had a “bum of the month” club - but Fury has a bum for a career club.
A good example of Fury’s great talk and lousy fighting was his return from his latest retirement to fight, you guessed it, a 38 year old he had beaten twice, and who had lost 3 of his last 4 fights before Fury resurrected him for his latest “title defense.”
Derek Chisora has never, in his career, been universally ranked. This last time, when Fury fought his 3rd fight against him, his third “title defense,” the 38 year old Chisora was not ranked at all by anyone but the WBC - who ranked him #13 in the world.
So who did Fury duck this time in order to fight an old, fat, unranked in the top 10 journeyman?
For the title he holds, the WBC strap, Fury ducked the entire top 10 in December 2022 in order to fight Derek Chisora:
Deontay WilderJoe JoyceJospeh ParkerFrank SanchezAndy RuizArslanbek MakhmudovLuis OrtizFlip HgrovicMichael HunterTony Yoka
Let this be clear, in his latest fight, for the WBC title, Fury ducked the entire top 10!
Why did Tyson Fury fight Derek Chisora for a third time instead of a contender?
Anthony Joshua’s Mom was evidently not available.
Fury would rather fight a stiff than a contender. Fury has managed to fight only 3 universally ranked contenders in 14 years, only two of them ranked #3 or higher, and except for Deontay Wilder, has one of the worst resumes in title history.
Fury ducked not only the entire top 10, but the entire top 12, in order to fight a 38 year old who had 12 losses, including 3 in his last 4 fights.
Fury is one of the most overrated fighters of all time, and comparing his record to Mike Tyson’s is like comparing a rusty tricycle to a fine, shiny, Cadillac.
This is not knew - in 2019 Tyson Fury was ranked #1 - who did he select to fight that year?
Those powerhouses Otto Wallin and Tom Schwarz!Neither was in the top 10, of course.Neither was in the top 20 either.Hell, Schwarz was not in the top 1,000!
Unranked Otto Wallin chopped Fury up like a giant beefsteak.
Hannibal Boxing was as nice as it could be in describing the Unranked Wallin when Tyson Fury avoided the entire top 10, hell, the entire top 25, and selected Wallin for a defense of his lineal title:
“To call Wallin, 20-1 (13), limited would be an understatement…he was considered a walking target when he entered the ring against Fury.”
Wallin had never faced a ranked fighter, ever. But he chopped Fury up like a good steak.
Fury managed to beat Wallin by decision, then got his face sown back together with a surgeon and 47 stitches.
Who did Fury skip over, in order to select a guy never ranked in the top 1,000? The entire top 10!
The top 10 contenders at that time were:
No. 1 Tyson FuryNo. 2. Deontay WilderNo. 3 Anthony JoshuaNo. 4 Dillian WhyteNo. 5 Luis OrtizNo. 6 Andy Ruiz Jr.No. 7 Alexander PovetkinNo. 8 Joseph ParkerNo. 9 Michael HunterNo. 10 Adam Kownacki
And Fury skipped every single available ranked contender not once, but twice, to fight 2 completely unranked opponents, one not even in the top 1,000!
Yes! Tyson Fury claimed he was defending the lineal title against two guys who had never been ranked in their lives, while ignoring the entire top 10, or top 20, or top 50!
In Schwarz’s case, Fury was by passing the entire top 1,000!
Fury avoids anyone he thinks can beat him - look at his blowing up contract talks with Usyk!
Usyk’s team finally said enough was enough as Fury deliberately sabatoged the unification fight.
Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, said:
“No matter how much Usyk compromised, he was pushed for more."
[LINKED_TEXT: Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk Off - Dubois Fight To Be Pursued] [URL: https://boxing-social.com/news/tyson-fury-vs-oleksandr-usyk-off/]
First, Fury blew up negotiations with the Saudis.
Eddie Hearn said:
“It’s unclear whether the Fury-Usyk fight will happen, though, as Fury reportedly asked for too much money from the Saudis and spoiled his chances of fighting there.”
[LINKED_TEXT: Tyson Fury Has Perfect Style For Oleksandr Usyk Says Tony Bellew - Boxing News 24] [URL: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/02/tyson-fury-has-perfect-style-for-oleksandr-usyk-says-tony-bellew/]
Then Fury demanded 70% of the purse, even though Usyk owns 3 of the 4 belts, and Fury only holds a quarter.
Reports were ongoing that when Usyk gave in to that, Fury began looking for other things to demand, delaying a contract signing until he blew up the fight.
Usyk’s manager made clear that Fury kept changing his demands, as Usyk met each, Fury came up with more.
Fury made his attitude clear with this post:
“From where I'm standing, Usyk, you and your team are worth 30. You either take it or you leave it. And if you don't want it, go fight Daniel Dubois at the Copper Box [Arena in London] and get a few million dollars. If you want to make some real money, come and fight 'The Gypsy King.' ... I will say, for every day from today that you linger, mess around, I'm going to deduct 1% from the 30%. ... Sign the contract, get your money and get f---ed up. ... Tick, tock."
[LINKED_TEXT: Sources: Usyk, Fury break off talks for title bout] [URL: https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/35915536/oleksandr-usyk-tyson-fury-break-talks-title-bout]
The Usyk fight was one the Big Blowhard never wanted
Fury has no real interest in fighting Usyk because Fury has never fought a great boxer in anything close to his prime, and thinks he could easily lose.
I doubt a Fury-Usyk fight will ever happen, Fury knows he is not the boxer Usyk is, and he values that zero, and being able to brag he is the greatest, blah, blah, blah…
Of course, hundreds of millions of dollars might change his mind…but…unranked Otto Wallin chopped Fury up like a giant beefsteak - what do you think Usyk, an infinitely superior boxer, would do?
Fury certainly knows that.
If Fury really wanted to challenge himself, or prove his greatness, he would have fought Joshua or Joe Joyce, not a shopworn 38 year old Derek Chisora, a guy he already beat twice, a guy who has lost of 3 of his last 4 fights, a man who has never, ever, in his entire 15 year career been universally ranked!
Fury retired rather than give Wlad Klitschko his rematch, he declined to unify the titles when Usyk offered to give Joshua step aside money, and he has fought exactly 3 ranked fighters in 14 years. Fury has proven himself great at bold bragging, but not boxing…
Who and what was 1988 Kevin Rooney trained, Mike Tyson?
Tyson was more than a puncher as the youngest heavyweight champion ever. He was a boxer-puncher of appalling speed, hand-speed, constant movement and power, who threw "punches in bunches" with bad intentions while maintaining superb defense. People who never saw him fight, or who never understood boxing in the first place, like Never Was a coach, cannot tell the difference between a volume boxer-puncher, and a single shot headhunter like Wilder.
Kevin Rooney, who worked with Tyson, from the start of his career up to the Spinks fight, describes the Prime Tyson better than anyone else. Tyson was trained to be, and was, a volume combination boxer-puncher. Rooney says:
“he punched fast and hard. That’s a difficult combination to deal with. Especially when those fast punches come in bunches, in good, solid, combinations,"
Rooney goes on to talk about Mike's defense in those days, saying:
“he was elusive. The best thing about it was these guys couldn’t hit him. When you can’t hit somebody, that becomes very frustrating. In boxing, I’m trying to hit you, you’re moving your head and I can’t hit you. And I’m like, what the ****. That’s what happened in a lot of Mike’s fights. They couldn’t hit him."
So what changed? Don King and Robin Givens came into Mike Tyson's life, and it all was gone with the wind. But that is another story - today's is to ask if short Prime Mike Tyson could defeat the tower of today, 6'9" Fury.
Mike, a short, lightning fast boxer with enormous power and incredible handspeed, was always vulnerable to taller rangy fighters who could rotate out and away, and control the fight with a jab. But in his prime years, under Rooney, he neutralized those fighters by being in good enough shape to go the distance, with constant movement, bobbing and weaving, to slip punches, and great defense. Under Rooney Mike had landed 56 percent of his power punches, which is 15 percentage points higher than the heavyweight average. For instance, against Trevor Berbick, Tyson landed more power punches (46) than the total punches that Berbick threw (43), according to CompuBox.
As Rooney said:
“speed kills, and Mike had speed, f****** unbelievable speed!"
Hall of Fame Trainer Eddie Futch assessed the Prime Tyson bluntly:
“Under Cus and Rooney Tyson was well conditioned and ready to go all night, lots of gas, great combinations, great defense."
Unlike Fury, 1988 Tyson made a practice of brutal knockouts
Mike Tyson at his best with Rooney, was a freak of nature. A guy 5'10" (who says now he is really 5'9") with a 71 inch reach. He should not have been able to terrify giants, and yet he did. Mike Tyson had a combination of hand-speed coupled with power, that enabled him to throw, as he said:
“punches in bunches with bad intentions."
Teddy Atlas has said a boxer must have three things in order to punch with authority, saying::
“Mike had the hat trick of hands. There are three things a boxer most wants as a puncher, and Tyson had all of them. He had a combination of quickness, speed, and power, which is not common.”
Atlas emphasized what set Tyson apart during his days with his original team was his speed and ability to deliver power shots from both sides in abundance:
“He hit hard, fast, and often.”
And that was the key to Mike: he did not have the hardest one shot punch, but he had the ability to hit mighty hard, mighty fast, mighty often!
As Kevin Rooney said,:
“speed kills, and Mike had speed, f****** unbelievable speed!"
Peter McNelly said:
“I don’t care what fighter you are – any fighter over 200lbs can punch – but with him, the power and that speed? Deadly combination.”
Kevin Rooney, who worked with Tyson, from the start of his career up to the Spinks fight, describes the 1985–1988 Tyson better than anyone else. Tyson was trained to be, and was, a volume combination boxer-puncher. Rooney says:
“he punched fast and hard. That’s a difficult combination to deal with. Especially when those fast punches come in bunches, in good, solid, combinations,"
Lou Saverese said:
“The thing about him that’s amazing is there are guys that are strong and there are guys that are fast. He’s strong and fast. It’s so deceiving how quick he is. That’s what makes him so different. You don’t realise how quick he is until you get in there with him.”
Dave Jaco said about fighting Mike:
“The fight ended at 2:16 of the first round because of the three-knockdown rule. The referee came up to me and said 'Nice fight, David,' " Jaco recalled. "And I said, 'What the hell are you talking about?' He said 'You've been down three times!' I said, 'Bull----! I've only been down twice!' "
Donnie Long took up boxing in prison, and thought he had seen it all. He was Mike’s 9th opponent. Donnie said:
“I remember going to the fight, and I remember waking up in the hospital," Long said. "As far as the actual fight, I can't tell you a single thing."
Tyson floored Long three times in 88 seconds.
William Hosea, stopped by Mike inside the first round, said sadly::
“I just wanted to get through that first round and get my shoes taped up. That was then."
Oops.
Marvis Frazier doesn’t remember much of his fight with Tyson:
“Tyson was just another guy who was going to be a statistic,”
Marvis Frazier recalled.:
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. I threw a jab and that’s all I remember.”
[LINKED_TEXT: Marvis Frazier has no regrets - The Ring] [URL: https://www.ringtv.com/123931-marvis-frazier-has-no-regrets/]
For a brief spell, Tyson opponent Sammy Scaff lived with Tyson at Cus D'Amato's compound in the Catskills. He thought he was ready for Tyson:
“At that time, he was pretty quiet and kept to himself, I met him more than halfway across the ring to get an early jump on him. He didn't knock me out, but he broke my nose. I was really gushing blood."
Gone in 79 seconds.
Conroy Nelson had a plan to fight Tyson:
“At the time, I said to myself "I'll go in there and box him. He's a shorter guy.' Usually my jab is pretty good, but the way that he avoided the jab ruined the plan I had for him. He set the pace for himself. He ducked underneath it and came up with a body shot, a left hook. Then it was bam, bam, bam! I was on the ropes, and he broke my nose. The referee came over and my eyes were watering. I wanted to continue, but I couldn't see."
He lasted 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Mike Spinks said when asked what puncher was the hardest he ever faced:
“Oh, Mike Tyson, most definitely the biggest puncher I ever fought
Julius Francis said:
“If someone hits me I want to hit him back, that's the sort of person I am, but it's different against Tyson. He hit me immediately with a big right and, though I was well up for the fight, I was shocked by the speed and power of the punches that followed. I was knocked down in the first round. I got up, he carried on and the rest of the fight was a bit of a blur. He was hitting me with all sorts of body and head shots; he even lifted me off the ground with some of them and I weighed 17 stone! It was relentless.

Comparing competition:
Anthony Mason, boxing writer, said:
“I think the only way to fairly rank a boxer's place in history is by comparing their résumés. And that does not mean just wins and losses - it is too easy today to fight only has beens or never will be's, and run up the record.”
Who did Mike Tyson up to 1988, knock out when he was blasting out heavyweights right and left?
former heavyweight champion and then #1 contender Pinklon Thomas,#1 WBA and IBF contender Tyrell Biggs#1 WBA contender Truth Williamsformer heavyweight champion Larry Holmesundefeated former light heavyweight and lineal heavyweight champion Mike Spinksheavyweight champion Trevor Berbickformer heavyweight champion Tony Tubbsfuture heavyweight champion Frank Bruno#2 contender and WBC Cruiserweight Champion Alonso Ratliff
Mike also beat by decsion:
WBA heavyweight champion and #2 contender Bonecrusher Smithformer heavyweight champion Tony Tuckerformer contender Quick Tillis
That is a 100% victory rate, and 75% KO rate, over contenders and top opponents.
Tyson Fury has beaten exact three highly ranked opponents in his entire career, only 2 ranked #3 or higher - one was old, one could not box, one had just been knocked out
Wlad Klitschko (39 years old)Deontay Wilder (can’t box and has never beaten a top 5 contender)Dillian Whyte (Povetkin had just knocked Whyte colder than a frozen salmon)
Fury claims to be the best of the modern heavyweights, but that is like being the best swimmer among American buffalo.
His signature victories are over a 39 year old has been, who would have easily beaten him a few years before, and a guy in Deontay Wilder who simply could not box.
Fury’s highest ranked opponent who wasn’t old or could box, was Dillian Whyte, who had just been brutally knocked out cold just two fights before Fury.
Fury’s only other even half decent opponent was high level journeyman Derek Chisora, who he fought twice, the first time going the distance with, and in the rematch managing to stop him in the 10th round.
Dillian Whyte, though Fury beat him, and beat him up, was right about Fury not being some great fighter: Speaking of Fury, [LINKED_TEXT: Whyte stated on Sky Sports, as per The Sun:] [URL: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/14625071/whyte-tyson-fury-wilder/]
[LINKED_TEXT: “] [URL: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/14625071/whyte-tyson-fury-wilder/]Everyone lets him get away with talking s***. It's frustrating. Fury and Wilder get too much credit for their padded, cherry-picked records and have only beaten one current Ring Magazine top 10 fighter each. I've beaten three.”
Give Me Sport said it best after analyzing Whtye’s rant:
“Whyte does make a valid point. Prior to the Wilder victory in 2020, Fury's most famous win came against the great [LINKED_TEXT: Wladimir Klitschko] [URL: https://www.givemesport.com/wladimir-klitschko] back in 2015. But there are no other top 10 fighters on the Gypsy King's record, and Wilder's record is even less impressive when you look at the calibre of some of his opponents.”
Roy Jones points out the lack of names on Fury’s resume (except an old man and Wilder) saying:
“Right now, he still has to beat a few more fighters to become one of the greats.
There is no comparison in their resumes…Fury has 1/3 the number of top opponents, and his were all old, beat up, or couldn’t box.
Hell, Mike had 3 times the number of top opponents the first 3 years he boxed over Fury in his 13 1/2 year career!
Unranked Otto Wallin chopped Fury up like a giant beefsteak.
Hannibal Boxing was as nice as it could be in describing the Unranked Wallin when Tyson Fury avoided the entire top 10, hell, the entire top 25, and selected Wallin for a defense of his lineal title:
“To call Wallin, 20-1 (13), limited would be an understatement…he was considered a walking target when he entered the ring against Fury.”
Wallin had never faced a ranked fighter, ever. But he chopped Fury up like a good steak.
Fury managed to beat Wallin by decision, then got his face sown back together with a surgeon and 47 stitches.
Styles of the two proposed opponents:
Styles make fights…
Mike Tyson was pure speed and volume punching with power. He would dart in and out, punching away.
It boils down to this: Fury tries to make it the WWE and keep Mike out of range by leaning, grabbing, clinching, and using his 277 pounds to lay on him and wear him down as he did Deontay Wilder.
Mike on the other hand, tries to evade the bigger but far slower man, dart in, and get busy!
Fury’s abilities and style
Fury’s biggest ability is his mind, his ring IQ, size, his ability to adapt, and his ferocious willingness to do what he has to win.
He is a first rate fundamental boxer, and though he lacks traditional athleticism, speed, and strength, he is a giant, and knows very well how to use that size.
Further, like Lennox Lewis, Fury is not adverse to doing what Manny Steward said needs to be done when you face a faster opponent beating you off the jab:
“Take it to the street.”
He basically beat Wilder by laying on him, leaning on him, draping himself all over him, jab, grab, lean, clinch, and use his 277 pounds to wear him down and out.
Could he do it to the far, far, far, faster and infinitely more skilled Mike Tyson?
Tale of the Tape
Size:
Fury is 6′9″ tall, (really 6′7 1/2″) with an 85 inch reach, and weighed 277 in his last Wilder fight
Tyson was 5′9 1/2 weighed 215 and had a 71-inch reach
Size advantage: FURY by a mile
Speed:
Fury is moderately quick for a giant.
Tyson is incredibly quick for a heavyweight, especially hand speed
Speed advantage: Tyson by two miles and a horse
Strength:
Fury is strong, but not as strong as his size would indicate.
Tyson was pit bull strong
Advantage: Slight to FURY who will use his size to substitute for traditional strength
Power:
Fury showed you can substitute bulk and size for traditional power using the right technique, but he still lacks traditional punching power
Tyson had rare power from his volume power punching and had a 94% KO rate at that point in time
Power advantage: Mike Tyson by three miles and a fast car
Fundamentals and technique:
Fury has great fundamentals and sound technique
Tyson had greater fundamentals and sound technique
Fundamentals and technique: Tyson
Defense:
Fury has a good chin, and a good defense, but can be hit
Tyson had a great defense at that point in his career, he used the bob and weave to slip and duck punches on his way in - but his competition was not as good up to that point in time, and Ali had seen and adapted to more than Mike
Defense advantage: Tyson by a quarter mile
Intangibles:
Fury has a fighter’s heart, a great chin, a good ring IQ, and solid intangibles.
Tyson never once got up off the canvas and beat a fighter, but he was the best he would ever be at this moment in time.
Intangibles: Even
Other factors: Fury is also a very dirty fighter.
Is there a foul Tyson Fury doesn’t like to committ?
He has been penalized for punching repeatedly behind the head of Wlad Klitschko, penalized for headbutting Steve Cunningham, penalized for hitting off the break against Kevin Johnson, and penalized for fouling against John McDermott in their second fight.
But against Iron Mike this would not help him as much as usual. Mike reacted poorly to being fouled, (see Holyfield’s missing ear). When Fury started fouling the tough kid from Brooklyn, he would discover the joys of having his kneecaps bitten.
A 2020 Fury versus a 1988 Mike Tyson fight:
Like most fights, this would be a clash of styles:
Fury would desperately jab, grab, lean, and try to lay draped all over Mike, to smother his punches and tire him outMike would pitbull past the leaning giant, and beat his body like a chef pounding a big fat steak.
As Rooney said:
“speed kills, and Mike had speed, f****** unbelievable speed!"
Tyson (I cannot outpunch my Granny) Fury would fall in one round to a 1987–8 Tyson, as he has about as much chance of keeping that Tyson off him as I do of becoming the next Pope! He has heart and boxing skills, if he could only punch...but if I had wings, I could fly!
Fury would try to smother Tyson with his great size, and huge arms. But he simply does not have the power to keep Tyson out of range, and Tyson would beat his body like a huge British Bongo Drum. In addition, people forget how blazingly fast Mike Tyson was - Fury simply does not have the speed, strength, or power, to keep Tyson at bay.
Mike Tyson would have gotten in-range, and beaten Fury’s body like Charlie Watts playing the drums until the giant Clown fell down. Fury simply does not have the speed to stay outside of Tyson’s range, the power to keep a Tyson out of range and off him, and Mike was far faster, hit harder, and the Rooney-trained Mike would have had a good fight plan to cope with Fury’s size.
If Fury resorted to dirty tricks, Mike would teach him some he has never seen from the mean streets of New York!
Fury might be taller than Mike, but all that would mean would be he would have had further to fall. Timmmmmmmmmmmmmber!

What is the weirdest object you've ever found? | Although its not always an “object” per se, often places of worship , their form & orientation contain a significant clue as to their purported importance. It may seem “weird” to some but to the adherents they would consider it worth dying for.
The Vatican at St Peter’s built over “The Rock” metaphorically referred to by Jesus .
The Great pyramid was aligned to astronomical significant motions of the planet unique to a few places on the planet (e.g. Chichen Itza. )
Stone Henge in Amesbury England by the Druids. Solstices, Christian Church layout usually in form of crucifix.
I was in China not that long ago and went see the Great Mosque in Xi'an
“Location: Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, Northwest China. It is the largest and one of the most important Islamic shrines in China. The construction started in 742 AD and it represented a combination of traditional Chinese architecture and Islamic art. The Great Mosque was constructed at that time to honor the Islam founders in China. Since then many other mosques have been erected throughout the country.” from Google
I went there a bit disoriented as it seemed like a walled community but had a controlled entry. I carried a compass with me as sometimes I need to tweak my bearing.
I recalled that Muslims pray & give obeisance (veneration) to the East as the location of the Holy Shrine at Mecca. So I pulled out my trusty compass and observed that the mosque orientation and the faithful were praying in the wrong direction. The prayer mats, structures etc were directed to the west so the Cleric, Architect or Contractor goofed. Well, it turned out I goofed.
It then occurred to me that anyone living in Mecca was at 39.8 E longitude while if you were in Xian you would be at 108.9E longitude. (towards Mecca’s east).
If you were Muslim at the North Pole you would pray towards the south while in the south pole you can pray towards the north. You can’t miss.

Aren’t you upset seeing a tattoo all over Jungkook’s arm? | Definitely not. I like tattoos on men. I have some small tattoos as well. Why should anyone care about it? It’s Jungkook’s body and he has every right to get a tattoo or a piercing if he wants to.
Jungkook has been into tattoos for a very long time, it’s not sudden for him. He planned to get it once he becomes an adult and he did. Honestly, the kind of Jungkook that I see now is a man that has finally achieved his desired look. He’s more himself than he’s ever been and I’m happy that he’s confident in showing it. Tbh, he’s always lowkey radiated emo vibes to me. He looks amazing.

What are the misconceptions about Tamil Nadu? | Ravan is worshiped in TN , is a misconception since the pre-Internet era.The truth is, there are at least 3 temples of Ravan in North India in the Hindi belt where he is worshiped for some of his virtues, but there are no Ravan temples in Tamil Nadu, though Periyar had written a book praising Ravan as against Ram. Many Ambedkarites throughout India too consider Ravan not a villain.That beef eating is rampant in TN.The fact is that beef eating may be rampant in Kerala, WB and North East, though beef eating is there in TN it is not considered a good habit there.

How does a visually impaired computer programmer program? | I’m a fully blind programmer that’s currently in high school, hoping to get a CS degree after high school. I use a screen reader called NVDA (nonvisual desktop Access). It’s written completely by blind people, and in pure CPython. I’m a contributor to that, writing addons and features/bugfixes, as well as working on some projects of my own. I use VS Code as an IDE, and Nuitka to build Python, CMake with GCC (Visual Studio Community is very laggy with screen readers), for C/C++, Node from the CLI for JavaScript (front end as a blind person isn’t really doable), and Eclipse or JavaC for those rare times I need to use Java.
People in general seem to be interested in how a screen reader sounds, and if asked, I could provide a recording. Mine is talking at about 700 words a minute currently. It reads all indentation and a lot of symbols. This is an example that I have open in another window.
four space def line line init line line left paren self, name colon str right parendash greater None colon
That might sound like a lot, but that’s just how I’m used to hearing it.
Any more questions, feel free to ask.

What is the manliest thing you've ever witnessed? | This is something I am sure no Western media cares or is interested to show the world. Thank god, I am not in the media and I can speak out what I think and share stories I think worth sharing. The manliest thing I’ve seen in my life is bravery of volunteering Saudi citizens in rescuing flood victims and those stranded… whenever there's a catastrophe or emergency, Saudis step forwatd to render help, risking their own lives. It's so instilled in their culture that they do it right away, mindlessly. It's securing and reassuring to live among such people when you know there always will be someone ready to give a hand in case you're about to lose your life, your cat or dog. Such incidents take place all the time everywhere across Saudi Arabia, as there are several mountain series that cause powerful floods when there's heavy rain.
Take a look at these videos and see for yourself..

Aren’t you upset seeing a tattoo all over Jungkook’s arm? | not at all….first off it’s his body and his choice… so what we all think about it isn’t relevant.. but since you asked. Jungkook is someone who has held himself back and been so insecure for a long ass time. Way too hard on himself and a perfectionist … he loves his fans so much that he would literally not doing things he wanted to bc he didn’t want to effect army. That’s terrible… this man gave up his youth for his career and works insanely hard to always be better and do better… his voice is the best of his generation im… his raps are fire and his dancing is the most powerful dancing in bts… he’s athletic, compassionate, artistic, humble and passionate and unless you only liked him bc of his looks:.. then you’re an ass and not an army anyway. He is the exact same person with his tattoos that he’s always been.. just more mature and a bit confident finally!!! No one thinks you have to like them if they’re not your taste… but keep it to yourself.. and support him regardless as a member.. bc he is that same person under those tattoos. His hand tats are for you.. and the members… if you look on his arm you’ll realize a lot of his tattoos on his arm actually are symbols of different bts songs which obviously would be important to him. Give him the love and support he deserves ✌️

Has there ever been a thesis in history that discovered something completely different from what the researcher intended to find? | There's no logic in inferring that something occurs from nothing. How could it happen? Without a cause, there can never be an effect.
SPACE, MATTER, ENERGY and TIME are the parents of the BIG BANG. They are indestructible, eternal, beginningless, endless, inconceivable, limitless, unimaginable, timeless; precisely INFINITE.
Out of the MATTER and ENERGY existing in the SPACE, NATURE creates, maintains and dissolves UNIVERSES, at different periods of TIME, by way of BIG BANGS. Yes ! UNIVERSES had been created , maintained and dissolved millions of times in the past; and will be created, maintained and dissolved millions of times in the future too.
This is not the first UNIVERSE that had been created !
Compared to the SPACE, the UNIVERSE is a grain of sand on the Marina beach or on the Miami beach or in the Sahara desert or all of the three put together. Such is the INFINITENESS of the SPACE and FINITENESS of the UNIVERSE.
How had the BIG BANG happened ; what activity in the SPACE had lead to the formation of the SINGULARITY ( a CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE) which was the ‘ mother ‘ of the BIG BANG; how was the UNIVERSE created ; had all been explained below , in 6 stages, which can be perceived as a Universal Cycle. Kindly go through the same.
STAGE 1 : All the stars in the UNIVERSE , running to trillions to septillions in numbers, after exhausting their life time and energy, converge, shrink and contract ; and become a CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( SINGULARITY, which is the condensed form MATTER and ENERGY) at the CENTRE of the UNIVERSE.
STAGE 2 : That CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( SINGULARITY) remains dormant for a few million billion years. Except that CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( SINGULARITY), the SPACE is empty with vacuum everywhere. Fusion ,combustion and amalgamation take place inside that CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( SINGULARITY), due to which that CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( SINGULARITY) starts spinning with enormous , immeasurable speed.
STAGE 3 :At the breaking point, that spinning CONDENSED SINGLE SOURCE ( spinning SINGULARITY)blows out, blasts out , explodes; and the fragments of that spinning SOURCE are thrown out throughout the SPACE in all the directions. This activity only is termed as BIG BANG.
STAGE 4 : In the absence of any obstructions in the SPACE and the presence of the vacuum, those fragments, thrown out throughout the SPACE in all the directions by that CONDENSED SINGLE spinning SOURCE , travel to various distances depending upon their individual mass. This activity is only termed as EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE.
STAGE 5 : After reaching their maximum distances depending upon their individual mass, those fragments, formed as STARS , start revolving around the CENTRE of the UNIVERSE, as they were thrown out from a spinning SOURCE . That path of revolution is only termed as ORBIT. The place where that SINGLE spinning SOURCE was once standing, is the CENTRE of the UNIVERSE.
STAGE 6 : From the dust and ashes of the STARS , are created planets ( and natural satellites too ) ,which revolve around the respective STARS. All these STARS put together is the UNIVERSE. There are no divisions and classifications in the UNIVERSE. Various galaxies, Observable Universe, Parallel Universe, omniverse and Multiverses are our own segmentations only for our own understanding ; but are not separate entities. All these trillions of STARS ( carrying along with them, their planets and natural satellites) continue revolving on their respective ORBITS for trillions of septillions of years , around the CENTRE of the UNIVERSE , before getting dissolved, to become MATTER and ENERGY. Now, go to STAGE 1.

Is investing in cryptocurrency still profitable? | In general, people have a wrong perception and thinking about cryptocurrency. They are not some kind of gambling or a way to earn fast money that is already “too late” to participate in it. Cryptocurrencies offer an alternative to the traditional financial system, their purpose is not to make you rich, their main goal is to provide you with the freedom of owning your assets without relying on intermediates and without the risk of losing them due to someone’s fault or decision. People should see them as an alternative that won’t just disappear.
Think about it like you have fiat saving in EUR and USD - you keep your money in one of these fiat alternatives, and you don’t expect to gain profit from one of the currencies. Cryptocurrency is just another alternative to keep your assets.
Having this in mind there are many opportunities offered by a crypto platform like [LINKED_TEXT: Cryptology] [URL: https://cryptology.com/] - for example, they offer passive income earning from your crypto holdings. I would advise you to DYOR and explore all the possibilities.

The Mahabharata | महाभारत प्राचीन काल का सबसे बड़ा युद्ध माना जाता है। इस युद्ध में अनेक शक्तिशाली योद्धाओं ने भी भाग लिया। माना जाता है कि महाभारत के युद्ध में ऐसे-ऐसे महाशक्तिशाली योद्धाओं ने भाग लिया जो अपराजय माने जाते थे। इसके अलावा महाभारत में सबसे शक्तिशाली हथियारों का भी इस्तेमाल किया गया। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं कि इतने महान योद्धाओं में से सबसे शक्तिशाली योद्धा कौन थे? आगे जानते हैं कि महाभारत के युद्ध में पांच सबसे शक्तिशाली योद्धा कौन थे।
अर्जुन: महाभारत के युद्ध में शक्तिशाली योद्धा के रूप में अर्जुन को भी जाना जाता है। माना जाता है कि अर्जुन के पास कई अस्त्रों का ज्ञान था। कहते हैं कि जब अर्जुन को चुनाव का मौका दिया गया कि वो कृष्ण की नारायणी सेना को चुने या स्वयं निशस्त्र कृष्ण को तो उन्होंने कृष्ण का चुनाव किया। यह महाभारत का सबसे बड़ा निर्णय था। अर्जुन ने ही कौरवों की आधी से अधिक सेना को मारा। इनमें भीष्म और कर्ण भी शामिल थे।
द्रोणाचार्य: द्रोणाचार्य ने ही दोनों तरफ के सेनाओं को ज्ञान दिया था। इनके पास हर अस्त्र को चलाने का ज्ञान था। इसमें नारायण अस्त्र, पाशुपतास्त्र और ब्रह्मास्त्र भी शामिल है। वैसे तो युद्ध में द्रोणाचार्य को कभी सीधे पराजित नहीं किया जा सकता था। तब श्रीकृष्ण ने भीम से कहकर एक अश्वत्थामा नामक हाथी को मरवा दिया और हर तरफ खबर फैला दी कि अश्वत्थामा मारा गया। यह सुनकर द्रोणाचार्य ने हथियार डाल दिए और तब धृष्टद्युम्न ने छल से द्रोणाचार्य का वध कर दिया।
कर्ण: दानवीर कर्ण को उनके कवच और कुंडल के साथ कभी भी हराया नहीं जा सकता था। कहते हैं कि पहले छल से कर्ण के कवच-कुंडल का त्याग करवाया गया। उसके बाद भी युद्ध में कर्ण से जीतना असंभव था। कहते हैं कि जब कर्ण का रथ एक गड्ढे में फंसा तब छल से अर्जुन ने कर्ण का वध किया। कर्ण को वरदान मिला था कि उसके कवच और कुंडल को दुनिया का कोई भी अस्त-शस्त्र नहीं भेद सकता था। कर्ण ने युद्ध में नकुल, सहदेव, युधिष्ठिर और भीम को भी हराया था। लेकिन उन्हें मारा नहीं क्योंकि कर्ण ने प्रतिज्ञा की थी कि वो सिर्फ अर्जुन को छोड़कर अपने भाइयों को नहीं मारेगा।
भीष्म: महाभारत के युद्ध में भीष्म को हराना असंभव था। भीष्म को वरदान मिला था की उनकी जान उनकी इच्छा के विरुद्ध नहीं ली जा सकती थी। दस दिनों तक युद्ध में पांडव भी समझ चुके थे कि भीष्म को हराना असंभव है। कहते हैं कि भीष्म ने महर्षि परशुराम को भी हराया था। जो कि विष्णु के अवतार थे। तब शिखंडी को आगे कर अर्जुन ने भीष्म पर सैकड़ों बाण दागे। और भीषण तीरों के बिस्तर में फंस गए। तब उनकी अपनी मर्जी से उन्होंने अपनी देह त्याग दिया।
श्रीकृष्ण: महाभारत के सबसे शक्तिशाली योद्धा श्रीकृष्ण थे। माना जाता है कि कृष्ण भगवान विष्णु के अवतार थे। उन्होंने महाभारत के युद्ध में कोई भी हथियार इस्तेमाल नहीं किया था। श्रीकृष्ण सिर्फ अपनी रणनीति से वो इतने महान योद्धाओं को मात दे पाए। कहते हैं कि अगर श्रीकृष्ण हथियार उठा लेते तो सिर्फ अपने सुदर्शन चक्र से करवों की पूरी सेना का विनाश कर देते। क्योंकि कृष्ण के सामने कोई भी योद्धा अमर नहीं था। महाभारत में श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन को अपना विराट रूप भी दिखाया था।

Are open-world video games getting too big for their own good? | Too big full stop, no. However there are problems with having a large game that, if not overcome, can wreck the game.
Not maintaining density
This is a problem that comes with selling a game on its size. They double the size of the map, but keep a similar number of things to do. All it means is that you're spending more time travelling between points rather than actually playing the game. Worse, they can give you a vehicle to use and you end up spending less time playing the game than if you had a smaller map and traversed by foot. Early [LINKED_TEXT: Grand Theft Auto] [URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto] games (I stopped playing after IV) suffered from this; each map was bigger, but you had faster cars meaning that the size of the map just became a figure. The actual gameplay remained pretty similar in scope. I don't want a large barren world; I'd prefer a smaller but denser world. If you build a large world then be prepared to fill it with interesting features and interactive entities so that it feels busy.
Maintaining density by copying and pasting repetitive challenges
This is another great Sin. Often it appears in games that are segmented that you unlock as you progress; usually by doing x number of mini missions to qualify for the next area. [LINKED_TEXT: Spider-Man 3] [URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_3_(video_game)] did it ok, but [LINKED_TEXT: Assassin's Creed] [URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed_(video_game)] got quite repetitive very quickly and [LINKED_TEXT: Guild Wars 2] [URL: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_Wars_2] very quickly became a game of grinding mini quests that were virtually identical to each other with the odd main quest to liven things up a little bit before returning to grinding again. It's the easy way out of maintaining density of gameplay, but unless it is meaningfully different, it doesn't help much beyond satisfying the maths. I don't want to have to do the same thing over and over in order to progress, I left that behind when I stopped playing Pokèmon. Instead fill the game with meaningful experiences. Have the characters at least appear to have depth to them. Give me mini quests that draw me in beyond “Go fetch 10 of this.”
Not having replayability
Usually a symptom of the previous two, if there are not a lot of meaningful gameplay experiences, you just can't bring yourself to replay them.
Not having adequate travel abilities
You don't have want to spend your entire time just travelling to get to where you want to go. You need some of this to build scale and to have that density of gameplay, but I really don't want to be trudging the same piece of 30 mile road twenty times to fulfil a quest. You need an adequate system for bypassing the drudgery, but at the same time doesn't minimalist the scope of the game and getting the player to interact with it. Give me a game that exploring is fun and meaningful, but at the same time when I want to I can just get into the game and play; I don't have to spend 30 hours in the wilderness getting to the next city, but give me the option to do do if I wish.
As you can see, there is no real hard limit to the size of the game, but the size of the game does need to be in proportion to the ability of the developers. If you can't populate a massive world with meaningful entities, then scale it back. Don't make it big for the sake of being big; instead build the world up as much as you can with decent gameplay. If you are a great developer than you will need to create a massive world to contain the game, rather than trying to create a game to fill your massive world.
As a rule of thumb, I find that Elder Scrolls does a decent job in the above areas.

How do you calculate | There are a few ways to calculate 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 quickly. One way is to use the following formula:
sum = n(n+1)/2
where n is the number of terms in the series. In this case, n is 10, so the sum is equal to:
sum = 10 * 11 / 2 = 55
Another way to calculate the sum is to add the first and last terms, then add the second and second-to-last terms, and so on. This will give you a series of five pairs of numbers, each of which adds up to 11. The sum of the series is then equal to 5 * 11 = 55.
Finally, you can also use a calculator to calculate the sum. This is the most straightforward way to do it, but it may not be the quickest.
Here are some code examples that you can use to calculate the sum of the series:
Python
def sum_of_numbers(n): """ Calculates the sum of the first n natural numbers. Args: n: The number of natural numbers to sum. Returns: The sum of the first n natural numbers. """ if n == 0: return 0 else: return n + sum_of_numbers(n - 1) def main(): """ Calculates and prints the sum of the first 10 natural numbers. """ print(sum_of_numbers(10)) if __name__ == "__main__": main()
JavaScript
function sumOfNumbers(n) { if (n === 0) { return 0; } else { return n + sumOfNumbers(n - 1); } } console.log(sumOfNumbers(10));

Does an unused hard drive save data forever? | Q: Does an unused hard drive save data forever?
My experience — no.
I do have HDD from over 20 years ago that do still work fine. I have others that are waiting to be disassembled. Remember that the controller (printed circuit card) is part of the drive. It can be replaced, but will cost.
OTOH I have new external drives that I purchased last year that are DOA. Usually after I transfer some data, so not really DOA. I have one that was never recognized by any hardware. I know the warranty is from the importer, when contacted his CS insisted on connecting to my pc. I now ask if what I am purchasing is from that importer, B——-, if so, I refuse. I would rather buy from Ebay than from him. Not KB, not earphones, nothing from that importer.

What happens if a person who orders pizza takes the pizza and refuses to pay? | I did something similar for a prank in 8th grade.
My elementary school was private and very prestigious (Kobe Bryant's daughters currently go there). We had to wear uniforms and the rules were very strict. My friends and I were known for our defiance and troublemaking.
On the last day of school as an 8th grader, I decided to pull the best prank of my 9 year career (kindergarten through 8th grade). Being a private school, we had all of our lunches catered from various, local, third-party restaurants each school day. The people in charge of ordering the food were a group of student council upper classmen and a committee of parents that probably oversaw the food budget.
Anyways, on the last week of school there were no lunches being served because we had half days every day and went home early. For the solo prank, I thought it would be a good idea to call in some pizzas from a local pizza shop. I used my mom's cell phone the day before I planned to have the pizzas arrive and because I hadn't hit puberty, I talked in a really high voice pretending to be a girl from student council, and ordered 15 large pizzas to be delivered to the school the next day.
"Pizza prank day" arrives and I, being the naive idiot that I was, started to tell people what was going to occur. Come "lunch time" mostly everyone in the upper class (about 30 people) had congregated to the front of the school to see these pizzas being delivered. Sure enough at the time I had scheduled a car rolls up to the front of the school and out comes the pizza boy. The poor kid had to make 3 trips from the car to the school because there were so many pizzas. Everyone was laughing hysterically but I began to slightly panic because I knew that too many people had known what I did and that I was likely going to get in trouble at this point.
The prinicpal announced on the loud speaker to the entire school minutes later, "whoever ordered the pizzas, they are at the front desk." The school was frantic because they had no idea who ordered these pizzas.
The next day, every 8th grader was called into the official conference room at the school and all that was in there were the principal, the vice principal, the woman in charge of discipline and a white board with nothing written on it but, "$305.73" in red marker.
The authority figures explained to us that pizzas were delivered the day before, they knew it was a prank and that someone was going to have to pay $305.73 (they must have left a nice tip). In small groups, students were removed from the room. There were a few of us who were known to be the troublemakers, so we were pulled out last. By the end of the interrogations, I was found guilty and fessed up (someone told them it was me of course).
My "punishment" was that I had to spend the first two weeks after graduation (my summer after I had just finished 9 years at this institution) with the janitors doing whatever it is they needed me to do. My mom was given the option to pay instead but she sent me to this "labor camp" because she too was not happy. It ended up being some of the best 2 weeks I've ever had. I learned so much about hands on labor and about the beautiful lives of the janitors that worked there. The two brothers lived together, worked at the school together and their third brother used to be a part of it all but was shot and killed when they were younger. They were the nicest people and taught me a lot about work ethic, hard work and philosophy really. It was almost a perfect send off because I was able to see parts of the school (went on all the rooftops, etc.) that I had never seen before in my 9 years there. That whole moment in time reminded me a lot of The Breakfast Club. Needless to say it was a blessing in disguise and I would order those pizzas 10 times out of 10 if I had to do it again. I thank Isidro and Lorenzo for that great experience...and maybe my poor pranking skills.

What are some travel tips for an Indian visiting Bhutan? | 10 Travel Safety Tips For First-Time Travelers.
1. Get Travel Insurance
I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised by how many people get too caught up in their trip itinerary plans to think of travel insurance. If you don’t already have it, you most definitely need it; safeguard against lost luggage or canceled flights can save you big bucks in the long run and give you peace of mind.
2. Keep Electronics to A Minimum
For tech-savvy millennials it’s tempting to tote around every camera accessory possible, but in the case of electronics less is more. You don’t need your huge digital camera on every excursion, and who are you kidding – you won’t be working from your laptop in your free time.
Your phone can take awesome quality photos and send emails if need be. Lugging around bulky electronics not only slows you down but also makes you an obvious target for those looking to snatch them up. With the exception of your phone (obviously), keep your electronics locked up in your hotel room’s valuables safe – or better yet, don’t bring any on your trip to begin with!
3. Keep Your Head Up
Walk like you know where you’re going; it’s widely known that your less likely to be approached if you are quick and alert. As an alternative to staring down at your phone’s Google maps while navigating around a new city, plug in an earbud and listen to the voice guide you! You’ll take in more sights and be more aware of your surroundings.
4. Be Cautious at Bars
No one’s telling you NOT to go on Tinder dates when traveling, just be careful. Advertising that you’re in town on vacation makes you a bit more susceptible to being targeted than the next person. Watch your drink (that goes without saying), but watch your bartender make your drink too; not everyone is trustworthy.

5. Download Safety Apps
With solo travel trending right now, it’s likely that at some point you’ll end up wandering around an unfamiliar city alone. Family and friends can keep tabs on you even from a distance, thanks to some of the free apps on the market. Must-haves include:
Uber: Most 20- or 30- somethings already have Uber downloaded, but don’t forget that it spans beyond just your local barhopping scene! If public transportation intimidates or confuses you, don’t be afraid to call for an Uber during your travels.
bSafe: Although your friends or family members must download it as well, it is definitely worth it if traveling alone. If you are in a situation that feels unsafe, the app can give your friends your location, have them “follow” you as you walk to your destination, or send them an SOS if you are panicked. Although they may not be able to come to your rescue, they can notify police who can.
Drunk Mode: Another app that’s probably already downloaded on your phone, but (amazingly enough) can be put to use when sober. Turn it on before setting out on your day’s activities, and if you decide to separate from the group at some point to take your own detour it’s easy to find your friends’ location. Plus, it’s fun to look back and see where you went at the end of the day!
6. Be Aware of Your Money
Keep always keep small amounts of cash on hand, and keep copies of the fronts and backs of all of your credit cards (as well as passports or IDs). Also, don’t forget to notify your bank that you are traveling because they will freeze your cards at the most inconvenient times if you don’t.
7. Dress Inconspicuously
Try not to stand out; do some basic research as to what the locals generally wear. What may be standard summer clothing in the U.S. may be much too revealing in other countries and can even be considered inappropriate. Men and women alike, though, should try to be as inconspicuous as possible when in an unfamiliar place. Blend in! You’re less likely to be targeted by pickpockets and potentially dangerous predators. Which leads me to my next point…
8. Don’t Let People Distract You
Pick-pocketing is a thing; it really happens, especially in tourist hotspots. The innocent-looking woman or child shoving a sign or paper in your face is often an attempt to catch you off guard and grab your wallet. Don’t be vulnerable – if anyone suddenly approaches you, be mindful that it may be a ploy to quickly divert your attention. Keep valuables secure on your body at all times!
9. Be Health-Conscious
If you happen to get a few bug bites or a scratch while traveling – especially internationally – make sure to clean and treat them carefully and quickly! Neglect to care for even the most minimal of flesh wounds could lead to serious discomfort and health issues. Keep in mind that most travel and health insurers do not cover medical fees internationally; although your insurance may reimburse you in the future, be prepared to front the cost of any potential hospital bills.
10. Know Your Country’s Embassy Information
Your country’s embassy or consulate in foreign countries can be helpful in so many unexpected situations. Know their contact information and location! Or better yet, if you live in the U.S. you can sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program – a free service provided by the government that keeps you updated on safety and security information, and can help you stay in contact with your family in case of emergency.

Is FLAC as good as WAV? | FLAC is better than WAV.

For pro-choice folks: If a man's wife or partner learns that she is pregnant and wants an abortion, should the father get a say in the decision if he wants to support and be there for the child? | He should definitely tell her that, in case she wants an abortion because she doesn’t trust him to stay, and doesn’t want to be a single parent. She might change her mind. But he doesn’t “get a say” as in “can veto the procedure” because there are dozens of other reasons she might want to abort the child that have literally nothing to do with him, like “I have some health condition that makes me highly likely to fucking die if I keep the baby”. Or “Right now I have other goals that you can’t take over doing for me, in a year or five, maybe.” Of course, it’s his prerogative to divorce/leave after she does have her abortion if he wants to. If a man can’t understand her reasoning, and will throw it in her face for the next foreseeable future, it’s best for her.
