Heard lot of gurus say go deep or go inside. Where should I go? What is go inside? | Definitely don't go to Quora for an answer to this question. It is the type of question that is supposed to be more precious than any ready-made answers one can get out there.
“Going Inside” can mean self-reliance. It suggests rejecting every conclusion that you have not arrived on your own.

Should we be disrespectful to former presidents if we disagree with them politically? US District Judge Moxila Upadhyaya referred to Donald Trump as “Mr. Trump” and not “ Mr. President”. | Former presidents are referred to as Mr. President or by Mr. or just by their last name. I guess it just depends upon the situation and there isn’t any disrespect meant. Now, when Mr. Trump refers to the president or former presidents by nasty adjectives as a suffix to their name, that is disrespectful , offensive and, sometimes, dangerous. So, by that measure, only Mr. Trump has been disrespectful when he refers to Democratic presidents.

What’s your favorite name for any machine learning algorithm? | Well not an algorithm but (Rectified Linear Unit) function.because from its name it seems some super complicated thing that you must study 100 weeks to understand, but it’s just:f(x) = max(0,x)

Why do some generators run on natural gas? Isn't there a chance that in a hurricane or weather event that causes a power outage that the natural gas will be shut off as well? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of it in these events? | Why do some generators run on natural gas? Isn't there a chance that in a hurricane or weather event that causes a power outage that the natural gas will be shut off as well? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of it in these events?
Being an underground system, other than earthquakes what would be a more reliable fuel..? Nuclear energy has many problems, such as disposing of spent fuel rods and the hazard of working around the nuclear fuel.. Of course solar and wind are good but not as reliable as gas due to lack of sunshine and wind at certain times…

Why do Arabs (mainly in Saudi Arabia and Gulf States) prefer to sleep in the morning and do activities or work at night? | During ramadan, people are not allowed to consume or drink anything between sun up and sun down. In order to conserve energy, they sleep during the day and become active at night. But this is only during Ramadan. For the rest of the year, work time is normal like 7 to 4.

Do I need radiation and chemo after double mastectomy for HR positive, Her 2 negative, stage 1, grade 1 15 mm breast cancer? | If your oncologist recommends it pull up you big girl pants and get it done. They know far more about cancer than does the Quora community.
That was my mother’s diagnosis, she decided to ignore the oncologist and went with natural , she died 21 month later. Her sister went with medical advice had a double mastectomy which was rebuilt endured chemo and radiation and live 37 more years.
Doctors study long and hard to know the best outcome. Social media doesn’t.

Does 'nick' mean 'idiot' in British English? | No.
As it’s my name, I know exactly what it means. It’s an abbreviation of ‘Nicholas’, obviously, apart from other terms and slang.
But what you might not know is ’Nicholas’ is the same etymological root as where ‘Nike’ branded it’s company from the Greek mythological heroine, as Nicholas means ‘victory of the people’, or, according to others ‘victor of the people’.
They don’t mean the same things. One is good, the other is not so good.
Either way, I know I’m not an idiot, thanks to God’s many blessings upon me, and my years of education, which wasn’t really much effort.
In fact, I’ve had many moments of genius.
But tell that to the evil doers who will deride anything and everyone who doesn’t fit in with their Satanic little ideology of bullshit.

What occurs if the DNA polymerase III stops its function? | DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is the enzyme primarily responsible for replicative DNA synthesis in E. coli.It carries out primer-initiated 5' to 3' polymerization of DNA on a single-stranded DNA template, as well as 3' to 5' exonucleolytic editing of mispaired nucleotides.So if the DNA polymerase III stops its function, It will cease the replicative DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli(E. coli).

Should I buy a PS Vita or an Xbox One? | Xbox One.
Sony stopped making games for the Vita in 2015. The Vita is dead.
Personally I’d buy a PS4 as it hosts the best versions of most games available on both consoles.
But, out of the choices given, buy an Xbox One :)

Can Mondays be exciting for real, if you are doing what you love? | Well, the fact is majority of us are spending our lives in doing what we have to do by virtue of either having that relevant degree, or to have that consistent money flow to keep our families stable financially.
It's probably because of this reason, the term 'Monday blues' was invented.
If you are in love with the work yo do, the work will keep you awake at nights and even then one would never feel tired. You will constantly think of ideas to make it better and more innovative.
You do that work, which keeps you awake!
It's not that you won't face any struggle in that pursuit. The truth is, you will infact, face the toughest struggles in that journey but you will relish it. It's like going to sleep after a good day's work. That satisfaction!
You find that one thing which you are ready to struggle for. And see the journey…

If you could design your own house, what would it be like? | Truth be told, the surname Brown simply means that my ancestors “had brown hair, brown eyes, and/or brown clothes.”
Being from Pittsburgh, I generally tell people my ancestry/heritage is Heinz 57, because I’m a mutt. In other words, I’d be commonfolk.
However, if I could design my own house, it would be based on my own personality and interests. I’m not that into zodiac stuff, but it’s fun to think about and every descriptor seems to suit me well. So that means Libra, and in the Chinese zodiac I’m a metal (some say golden) monkey.
Name: House Brown
Sigil: An evenly-balanced scale with a laughing monkey on each side, all in gold on a dark brown field. The left monkey is hanging upside down, so that the flag is symmetrical and cannot be turned upside down.
House words: We monkey around.
Region: The Reach, because fruit trees and amiable climate.
Family saying: “You might laugh while the monkey dances, but later you can’t find your coin purse.”

It was the largest and heaviest gun ever used by the British. Only the Second-World-War Japanese 40 cm/45 Type 94 had a larger calibre, 18.1 inches (46 cm), but the British shell was heavier.”

Why does modern English have so less Celtic words than Franco-Greco-Latin ones, even though the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts were intertwined for most of their history while the French kings ruled only conquer and rule England in a few short decades? | there was less stuff to name back then.
Ever heard someone speaking Welsh? Or even Urdu? the words will be strange to an English speaker until “Tractor” suddenly pops up - or “computer”.
English is a complete mish mash (no idea of that origin!) of words imported from wherever the British Empire went. At one point, the British controlled more than half the population of the Earth.
Pajama/Bungalow/Jodhpur are all Indian in origin. Basically, as well as purloining half the world’s land, we also took the words.

Name one thing that made you smile today? | My project that asks people to share their daily happiness stories, no matter how small, has led me on a profound journey of self-discovery and contentment.
Today marked a significant stride forward on this journey, as I found myself immersed in the joy of contributing positively to the lives of others.
Here's how this endeavor has brought me closer to my own happiness:
Purposeful Pursuit: Working on my project felt more than just a task; it was a purposeful pursuit that resonated deeply with my values and aspirations.Spreading Positivity: Encouraging people to share their small yet significant moments of happiness and success creates a ripple effect of positivity, amplifying joy both for the contributors and those who read these stories.Shared Connections: Connecting with individuals who opened up about their experiences not only enriched my perspective but also fostered a sense of community and shared understanding.Every Step Counts: Progressing in my project signified moving forward in my own journey of happiness. Each story collected is a step closer to my goal.Gratitude and Fulfillment: Witnessing the impact of my efforts in uplifting spirits and cultivating gratitude in others filled me with a profound sense of fulfillment.
As I continue to compile these anecdotes of happiness, I'm reminded that the path to my own happiness is intertwined with the happiness I spread.
Every story shared reaffirms my belief that true happiness is found not just in personal achievements, but also in the connections we forge and the positivity we nurture in the lives of those around us.

What is the advantage of eSIM over a normal SIM? | [LINKED_TEXT: eSIM] [URL: https://www.oasis-smartsim.com/] such as Oasis smart sim is superior to actual SIM cards for various reasons:
– eSIM is little: This not just permits additional space for different parts, or maybe a bigger battery, it likewise empowers makers to rejig the inward format of their gadgets. An eSIM shouldn't be close to the edge of the telephone and could make waterproofing gadgets much simpler.
– eSIM can't be actually harmed or lost: since it's installed inside gadgets.
– eSIM is secure: cant' be copied.
– eSIM can store various cell profiles: a few profiles can be put away so you can undoubtedly flip to choose which transporter you might want to utilize.
– eSIM is anything but difficult to find: it's simpler to discover your telephone on the off chance that it is lost or taken since network suppliers can handle eSIM distantly.
While eSIM has numerous advantages and it shows up more worthwhile than the actual SIM, there are still a few restrictions to the innovation:
– eSIM is generally new: it is just accessible with later telephone models and chose transporters.
- eSIM is more hard to move to an alternate gadget: Instead of popping the card out of an old cell phone telephone
– eSIM makes it hard to distinguish the reason for an organization issue: when you have association or sign issues a simple test is to stick your SIM into an alternate telephone to check if the issue is with your organization or your gadget. You wouldn't have the option to do that with an eSIM.

Do you think Mark Cuban would make a good POTUS? | No. While I do like the idea of a business man being president, I think Cuban’s ego and mouth and would get him in almost as much trouble as Trump’s does.
Dave Ramsey would be a much better choice “CEO President” because of his business profile, demeanor and no-nonsense approach to life and financial expertise.

How can I learn a dance? I have been trying, but I can't learn any dance. I mainly want to learn hip hop and K-pop dances. | To learn dancing you have to first make your self physically fit. Then you have to narrow down a dance form which you want to start with. It can be modern, contemporary, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, tap or anything else. It is better to get admitted to a dance academy in your locality and take your [LINKED_TEXT: dance classes] [URL: https://www.karlanddimarconorth.com/tampa-dance-classes/] initially.

Should Confederate statues and monuments remain in order to remind us of the dark past and to remind young generations how dangerous division is? | Let’s ask former U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull.
PIC: Gen. Stonewall Jackson. I believe it is this picture that hung on the wall of U.S. Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, at that time Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese on Dec. 7, 1941. At least, this is the picture of Jackson seen on the wall in the film, TORA! TORA! TORA!.

How much power does Nielsen have in deciding what the networks show? | Nielsen's role is market research and their influence is only in helping both advertisers and broadcasters understand what consumers are doing.
Importantly they cannot have influence because they would lose the trust that organisations have in them if they started to manipulate the market. In that respect they are more like an auditor than a part of the production process. They don't construct anything, they just tell it how it is according to their measurements and they continuously work to improve their metrics to get a more accurate result.

Why does your brain release chemicals like dopamine for itself? Can’t it just tell itself to be happy or pleasured? I just don’t get why it needs to do that if we’re basically our brains. | It is very dangerous to read something on internet and then take it for God’s own truth. I know, dopamine is implicated in feeling “happiness” but can anyone say it is causally closed? That is, high dopamine is present when one feels happy. Does that automatically mean high dopamine always makes one happy?
Mental conditions like depression or OCD are associated with serotonin dysfunction. Now, tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin, is present in banana. Does cramming up with banana help medically? 90% of body’s serotonin is found in the digestive system. I am not sure if anyone could explain satisfactorily, what all that serotonin is doing there.
The thing is, what we know about brain chemistry is modest. Any neurotransmitter circulates through out the brain. There are some nuclei implicated for a certain behavioral effect but the net effect is resultant from the entire brain. There is a lot we need to know about brain functioning.
My suggestion is, leave your brain to take care of its chemistry. Do things you love and are also constructive, lead a healthy & balanced life style and try your best to be positive, you will be doing your own brain a favor.

I have a fairly basic understanding of Python. But now I want to learn C++. Does this require me to learn C first? | Yes, because C++ is essentially the ++ addon to C. But you do not need to learn C to beautiful mastery. Stuff like union, pointer arithmetic, bitwise variables are of no use to modern computing anyway. C level overview understanding for syntax and skeletal awareness of how and what comprise a program is sufficient to go on to C++.

Atheists, take a look around. Do you like the world science has lead you to? | Your mechanic repairs your car and then you drive to Sausalito. Your mechanic did not lead you there; he or she helped you to get there.
Science did not lead us to it; but it helped us get here. The result is that we have tractors for agriculture, eyeglasses for reading, and vaccines for our health. We have information technology, without which you would not have been able to ask your question online.
Science helped us get here.
If you want to complain about barbarity and other downsides, keep in mind that science never promised you a rose garden. If on the way to Sausalito you get a speeding ticket, you don’t blame the mechanic who fixed your car. At least, I hope you don’t.
Religion has promised to reform human nature and has failed to do so. Science has promised solutions for human problems and has delivered.
I appreciate the assistance.

How did video game developers make gaming look realistic when computers back then couldn’t even handle basic visuals without slowing down significantly? | This is actually a really cool topic I recently learned about.
So, today, there is this whole retro game trend in the industry, with gamers, streamers, and indie studios reviving 16-bit style game art. The funny part is, people remember that style looking much less pixelated and more “realistic”, and that’s because it was. The reason was because studios used the style of TV’s back then to distort the pixel art into something more realistic. In other words, what we saw on the screen wasn’t what the art actually looked like, but a version that was warped and distorted by CRT TV monitors.
the gif below shows the difference between the pixel art from Street Fighter on a current monitors vs CRT

Why is Wayne Rooney so underrated when he's the second greatest English striker of all time? | Even if he was the second best English striker ever (which is a very difficult argument to make), he's nowhere near as underrated as the best (or man it is easiest to make an argumebt for): Jimmy Greaves. The man had a year out in Italy in the prime of his career and is still the leading scorer in the top flight of English football.
But, because of the insane media propaganda trying to erase English football prior to 1992, guys like him really are underrated.

Can I live in Dubai with an Abu Dhabi tourist/visit visa? | An Abu Dhabi tourist visa allows you to travel and visit to all the 7 emirates of the UAE. Dubai is one of the 7 emirates of the UAE so definitely you can visit Dubai. There are no checkpoints for documentation while traveling from Abu Dhabi to any of the other Emirates. However kindly note that a visit visa allows you to stay in the UAE only upto the period it is valid so over staying will result in fines.

How difficult was it for you to find your life purpose? | I found my life’s purpose by asking myself that same question : “What am I doing here ?”.
Some people might think there’s no particular purpose to life. That answer simply is not acceptable to me. That’s nihilism. Personally I’d rather fight through life, live well and die when my time comes. At some point you simply need to make that decision.
Think of what religions, philosophers, activists, motivational speakers, and others tell us about life and purpose.
It’s not about figuring out which group, individual, movement, school of thought, and so on is “better” than another (and I’m not saying I believe any of them or that I don’t).It’s about exposing yourself to different ideas to help you find answers you need to progress in life.
Most of them have something in common : they tell us to use our gifts and do good.
To me there’s one gift we all have: our brain. It is so powerful that we can bring anything we want to reality and create a world that’s better to live for any human being on the planet. We can develop skills in technology, engineering, science, art, among others to achieve that. Best of all it can also allow us to earn everything we want. Imagine realizing your dreams by making other peoples’ lives better.
Now should I just follow those who say “use your gifts and do good” ? After all, I’m supposed to use my gift, my brain, and think by myself ! Well if I choose to do evil, I’m going to feel bad about it, face harsh consequences and waste my life. That’s not the way to go.
Then I looked at the world right now and the things happening around me: poverty, diseases, crimes, violence, mental health issues, natural disasters, suffering everywhere.
Now there are good things in the world too but that’s the way things are supposed to be anyway.
So I thought why not take up the challenge of making the world a better place ? Call me a utopist but I think it’s unfair that I can live with more than I need and some people have to suffer every day of their lives. Everybody deserves a decent level of life. Period. Meaning as long as certain evil and plagues exist, we all have a purpose in life.
There are so many ways one can contribute: fight the obesity epidemic, fight human trafficking, fight poverty, fight corruption, fight drug trafficking, etc…
It doesn’t need to be on a spectacular scale, though. You can just choose to impact positively everyone you come across.
Pick your cause and find a way to defend it. That’s how I found out I wanted to be a social entrepreneur.

They will continue to use sporadically.

What is the advantage of eSIM over a normal SIM? | eSIMs are new technology now-a-days compared to the regular SIMs we’ve been using in the past.

Why are garages such a priority in houses in the UK given that hardly anyone actually uses them to store their car in? | Well, I use our garage to keep the car in. The only problem is that some delivery men think that no-one is in because the driveway is empty, so they leave parcels with our neighbours
I just wish our garage was a little bigger, my BMW3 is about the biggest car I can get in there and still actually manage to get out of the car when I’ve done so. Alas, no chance of making it bigger without losing the side access to our rear garden.
Edit 1st June 2021 : The main advantage of putting the car in the garage is that I don’t have to scrape ice from the car windows/windscreen during the winter. I regarded this as essential before I retired so that I could get to the hospital for emergencies more quickly.

What do I need to know about the University of Toronto? | 1.> Avoid OSAP at all costs. Preferably, apply for either a bank loan from any of the major banks or a line-of-credit. They will bend over backwards to cater to you.
Also, OSAP granted you loans (or grants), or amounts based on the courses you take. If you make a mistake in your application, they will withdraw it, and jeoporidze your chances of being able to finance your courses during that school year. Not to mention, the next time you apoply, you would also have to write accompanying letters (and possibly proof of earnings) for future loans and/or grants.
2.> Get a part-time job outside of the Work Study program. If you are getting OSAP, you’re limited to how much money you earn. And if you earn too much, you would have to pay OSAP some of your loan back. The Work Study program is designed to allow you to earn money within the rules of what OSAP allows you to earn. However, based on the amount of monumental expenses you are sure to encounter (i.e. overpriced parking, food, possible residence, books, etc…) it is nowhere near enough, as to what you will need.
Earn as much money doing part-time jobs if you can. It will help you a lot, and free you from any economic burden in the future.
3.> Watch out for that pesky habit called procrastination. It happens to A LOT of first year students (especially if they are attending university from high school, instead of from college), and it can also creep into your second year as well.
The time allowance your professors and TAs give you to finish an assignment may seem like a lot of time, but don’t get caught in the procrastination habit. It will quickly catch up to you, and you will find yourselves doing all-nighters to finish an assignment (guilty as charged). Finish your assignments as early and quickly as possible; it will help you forge proper discipline because you are definitely going to need it going into 3rd and 4th year. Also, the added benefit is that you will have more free time to do as you wish.
4.> Do summer courses when you can. This is designed to help you finish your courses faster to get your degree- fast-tracking. Take advantage, because courses during the summer are easier to get (less class conflicts and more open vacancies), and sometimes the cost for the summer courses are cheaper. Yes its a pain when all the other kids are on vacation, but it will pay-off in the long run
5.> Avoid bird courses, and take courses to fulfill your prerequisites and credits. During my time (which is only a few years ago), many of the kids I went to school with took the easy courses, and never paid attention to the prerequisites required to graduate with the major or specialist program they applied for to begin with. When you take all bird courses, and you enter fourth year, you’re then now scrambling to take required courses to graduate. This is a pain that is easily avoidable from first year- and something you don’t want to contend with in your later years
6.> Avoid driving to school at all costs; take the bus and/or bike. Parking at U of T, no matter what campus, is ridiculously expensive, and that was when I attended. I can only fathom how much parking passes has gone up since then. And don’t count on parking on the side streets. City parking officers monitor ALL side streets around whichever campus you attend like a hawk, and more likely than not, you will receive a ticket. Also, the people that live on those streets WILL call the city if they find a whole bunch of students parking their cars there.
Also, don’t think about parking on campus parking lots, thinking you can get away without paying for 5 minutes. They do have parking personnel monitoring all the lots like nobody’s business- they leave no stone unturned.
7.> Take advantage of the different insurance coverage offered. For instance, take advantage of the dental or whatever else that is available. The cost is added to your tuition, but it is nominal at best.
8.> Don’t buy text books if you can. Instead, take advantage of the library and or the professor’s copy in the short-term loans sections. University of Toronto has a relatively new and expanded library (no thanks to the expensive tuition), and Robarts Library on the downtown campus are excellent places to visit.
The problem is, depending on the course, the version of the book you buy changes every year. History books you might be able to get away with buying a new or used one, and refer to it for years after. However in the CCIT (Culture, Communications and Information Technology) program, in a number of courses, the information changes almost every year- and hence the version. This is important to note, because it affects what is on the exam, or even the mid-term exam. An older version of a book will not always cut it, when the exam is tailored to a newer version of the same book. However, the library or the professors’ copy, always keep their content up-to-date. Borrowing from these sources are an excellent way to save money.
9.> Research the job market. And keep tabs on the job market. Do this before you choose your major/minor, and every year until graduation. The last thing you want to do is to choose your major/minor and or courses and not being able to find a job in that field, or a related field. Even if you initially choose a course, and the job market shifts suddenly, you’re still safe in switching courses/major into your second year.
I cannot tell you how many of my friends who went to college found jobs, in their fields, a lot faster than the people I went to university with. And don’t depend on your professors to guide you in this regard- they’re useless, but then again, they are there to teach, not offer job counselling. But even the counsellors aren’t the best either. Either do your own leg-work, or do networking.
Well, that’s all I can come up with off the top of my head. If I can think of anything more, I will add it to my response.

How will humans look in 1000 years? | I think we will have embedded devices that will extrude through an opening in our forearms that allow certain processes to occur that still require external manipulations to the internalized extruding device. We will also have other embedded IT devices and embedded software hardware such as cranial microchips and occipital ocular etc. These are thoughts I have had for some amount of time. I’m not afraid about it all and I hope generations of my family in the future will have a better life than I have known my generational family to have had. I truly believe we can find comfort in our humanity and yet accept the grace and mercy given by these advanced gifts. We will find peace and joy and solve world difficulties created by varying populations and other social difficulties. I don’t think utopia is our goal though through love and understanding we can achieve higher actualization. We will be ok. I sound kind of …… I am a dreamer!!!

Why are modern Iranians lighter than ancient Iranians, when both are Persians? | Original: Why are modern Iranians lighter than ancient Iranians?
Quite the contrary —modern Iranians are heavier!
“Therefore, while the problems of undernutrition (e.g. growth retardation and micronutrient deficiencies) still exist, the burden of overweight/obesity and diet-related chronic diseases is increasing. The prevalence of overweight (body mass index > or = 85th reference percentiles) among urban 15-39 and 40-69 year olds is estimated at about 22% and 40% respectively. Corresponding values in rural areas are 16% and 26%. The transition seems faster among female population at national level. There are however, great differences between different provinces. “
From [LINKED_TEXT: Prevalence of obesity in Iran.] [URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16045632]
So although some areas are underfed and lighter, most Iranians are becoming more overweight recently, to the point of heaviness becoming a public health problem.
I hope this gives a relevant, medically and socially significant answer to the question.

Name one thing that made you smile today? | How do we expect a person to rejoice and to enjoy himself while his children are abused, while his brothers and sisters are hungry and while his friends are oppressed?
Every abused child is our own child, every hungry person is our brother or our sister, every oppressed person is our friend.
How can we ask a person to rejoice and to enjoy himself while his sons and daughters are lost?
Every son or daughter who are searching the internet for the true word of God and are being misled to the wrong teachings by the bad teachers are our lost sons and daughters
The right way to be happy and content is by feeding the hungry, by defending the oppressed, by clarifying the truth, by establishing justice, and by helping those who struggle to survive

Why aren't bullets sharp? | In layman's physics, the shape of a bullets will depend largely on: 1) the calibre and mass, with respect to the density of the material that will constitute “the business end,” of the projectile, as well as the charge needed to deliver it to the target—will it need to maintain its structural integrity/trajectory all the way to the target launched at xfps or will there exist too much drag; 2) the purpose for which the bullet was designed; 3) the intended range of the weapon; and 4) desired ballistics profile once it reaches the target.
Typically, but with some exceptions (particularly, often as with some big game long-range hunting rifle calibres), long-range, high-powered rounds are missile shaped in order to reduce drag and prevent wobble/tumbling, and preserve likelihood of accuracy for the better part of the flight so that the payload effectively gets deployed according to its design.
Sidearms, on the other hand, are intended to stop fleeing assailants or as countermeasures against close-quarter threats. While dependable accuracy is rather important, it is closer to being tied with maximum stopping power used within its intended effective range. Therefore, with exception to special purpose (piercing, etc) rounds, manufacturers tend to favor a softer, denser lead or composite whose payload deployment is aided/hastened by a more rounded or blunt tip…smashes easier and sooner to ensure that the in-hole is a fairly smaller diameter than the out-hole, if it goes straight through. But, ideally, it won't make it through—rather, it'll plow through like a loose, jagged wrecking ball, destroying all in its path before becoming lodged in an assailant’s hurt gland, thus delivering the message, “stop, or bleed out…take your pick…”

How can I repair mortar joints in brick walls and chimneys? | Safety First: Wear your safety glasses and gloves before you start. Repairing mortar joints can create a lot of dust and debris.Remove the Old Mortar: Use your hammer and chisel to remove the old, damaged mortar carefully. Be careful not to damage the surrounding bricks. You should remove the mortar to a depth of about 1/2 to 3/4 inch.Clean the Joint: After you have removed the old mortar, use a stiff brush to clean out the joint and remove any residual mortar dust. This will help the new mortar adhere better.Prepare the Mortar Mix: Follow the instructions on the bag of mortar mix to prepare it. The consistency should be firm but pliable, similar to a thick dough.Apply the Mortar: Take some of the mortar on your trowel and push it into the joint using your pointing tool or a narrow piece of wood. Make sure the joint is filled.Shape the Mortar: After filling the joint with mortar, use your pointing tool to shape it to match the joints in the rest of the wall or chimney.Clean the Excess Mortar: Allow it to set slightly until it's "thumbprint" hard. Then, use a wire brush or sponge to remove excess mortar on the surrounding bricks. Be careful not to brush the mortar out of the joints.Cure the Mortar: After it has been applied and shaped, it must cure for several days. Keep the mortar moist by misting it with water a few times daily for three days.
It's important to note that while you can do minor repointing work yourself, extensive or complicated work, especially on chimneys or other high structures, should be carried out by professionals to ensure the safety and integrity of the system. Always seek expert advice if you're unsure.

Why did Bill Gates say “If you think you’re a really good programmer… read Art of Computer Programming… You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing”? | Every programmer should read and understand [LINKED_TEXT: Donald Knuth’s AoCP] [URL: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.html]. I don’t think you can still get a job at Microsoft like that because this offer is very old. Microsoft is no longer the largest software company anyway. Why did Bill Gates say that… Because he was a programmer and he understood how deep and complex the AoCP volumes were.

Do soldiers pick up fallen enemy weapons to use if they are out of ammo on their weapons? | If they have to they will. I certainly would. In todays combat, there are basically three calibers used. The 5.56x45 (M16, M4), the 7.62x39 (AK47) and the 9mm (virtually all pistol). A soldier is trained on the use of their primary weapon. But they are also rained on the opponent's weapons. Including field stripping and cleaning. I know of American soldiers that have used AK’s and SKS’ as far back as Vietnam when they had to. In fact i know of a soldier who would carry an AK on his back even while armed with his M16 in the first gulf war.
Your question is valid.
Answer this question - would you?

What was the strangest fast food order you've seen? | 1988. My first job at McDonald’s. A harried looking woman comes up to my register with a stroller and an untold number of kids. Nice lady. She smiled as she told me she wanted “2 Big Macs without the meat. Oh, and double everything else.”
I call a manager over to show me where the meat button is on the add/subtract items screen. Of course, there isn’t one. The manager, Maurice, asks her basically if she really means that. “No meat at all?”
“No…” and she proceeds to very nicely stand her ground. Maurice (who was not an idiot and taught me how to work) makes sure one more time. He tells her he can’t charge her less. Then he tells the grill guys, “That Big Mac order with double everything, don’t put meat on it.” The grill guys double check that Maurice hasn’t lost his marbles, “Really?” And “really?”
By now I’ve rung her up for the sandwiches and I’m waiting for the disbelief to die down so she can tell me what happy meals the kids want.
Everyone I’ve told this story to thinks it’s crazy. I’ve always been a picky eater and I was just glad I wasn’t that kind of picky.

How do you know that you have found a true friend? | Why do you have to know? Have you met a person, whom you like, but you do not have trust in this person to regard them as friend? The reason I start my response with the questions is that I avoid testing people, provoking them in order to prove they are trustworthy. If I like a person, I cherish that so much that I avoid situations, which could result in my friends being tested or showing their negative side. Instead, I carefully try to keep the people I like around me; I make conscious efforts to preserve the good thoughts and sensations that attracted me to my friends in the first place. I simply like to like them better than I need a friend. Life is not easy, so when hard times come, they inevitably show who of my friends is ready to help and is there for me. I am not looking forward to such times. Until then, I call everyone I like my friend and try to be a good friend to them, doing my best to make myself the friend that I myself would like to have.

In your opinion, which is more prestigious: working for "The New Yorker" as an intern or "Rolling Stone" as an intern? | There once was a time when either of those publications would have been a “feather in your cap” to be employed by. Today, if you were to be in their employment, I’d consider you a ‘yellow” journalist and probably never peruse anything you penned. Neither of these “rags” are worth the paper they use. You must look at yourself and ask “would working for either of these companies be a positive, progressive step in my career? IMO, you’d be debasing yourself to claim employment by either fish wrapper.

Should Confederate statues and monuments remain in order to remind us of the dark past and to remind young generations how dangerous division is? | Ever hear of Hitler? Stalin? Benedict Arnold? Do you need a statue to make sure you don’t forget who they were?
Of course you don’t. Statues are how we glorify our heroes. Books are how we preserve the memory of history. The Confederates took up arms against the United States. For all the revisionist history that claims otherwise today, the words of Confederate leaders at the time and in the various Confederate states’ declarations of secession were clear: the Confederacy seceded primarily to preserve their right to own slaves. These are statues of people who wanted to own other people so badly they were willing to commit treason.
Does that sound like something you want to glorify?

What should writers know? | Every aspiring writer needs to learn how to be okay with looking like an idiot.
The writers that last long enough to build careers are the happy writers, and the happiest writers aren’t bothered by the idea that sometimes, they’re going to look silly.
Let me explain:
Last week, I met up for coffee with a friend who I hadn’t seen in 7 years.
I’m 24, so 7 years feels like a lifetime ago.
7 years ago, I was 17 years old. I was still in high school. I was a child who was anxious and depressed all the time and didn’t even know what those words meant. I was insecure about everything. I was a pain to be around because all I did was project my bad feelings and insecurities onto other people.
I hadn’t started writing. I hadn’t started doing Jiu-Jitsu. Not that I’m spitting Aristotle-like wisdom at 24, but compared to who I am now, I was an idiot.
My friend is way smarter than me. He always has been.
However, he has been struggling with some of the same problems I did when I started writing. He wants to write essays. He wants to teach people stuff. He wants to help people improve their lives through philosophy.
The problem is, he, like most new writers, is terrified of publishing and submitting himself to judgment.
In short, he’s afraid of looking like an idiot.
As a 24-year-old who writes “life advice-ish” stuff on the internet, I run the risk every day of seeming like a know-it-all. I run the risk of coming off as conceited and arrogant.
There are plenty of people who are way wiser than me. They have this little thing called “life experience” that I just don’t have yet. I have my experiences, but I can’t really talk about things that I don’t know.
If you ever catch me writing parenting advice, sound the alarm.
If you’re on the internet looking for the wisest dude with a blog, you probably should not read my work.
To a lot of very wise people, I probably seem like an idiot. To them, according to the critic in my head, I should stop writing and stop talking like I know anything about anything. The other day, a reader told me that I should “join a 12 step program and stop trying to justify my defeatist worldview”.
This is just the reality of trying to create things. No matter who you are and what you achieve, there will always be someone who thinks you’re an idiot.
You have to learn to not be afraid to look like an idiot.
If you want to be vulnerable in public, you have to deal with the fact that sometimes, people just aren’t going to pick up what you’re putting down.
If you write or create content, you have to deal with the fact that sometimes people are going to think things about you, and sometimes they’re going to think things that you don’t like.
No matter how good of a persuasive writer you are, you can’t control everyone’s mind.
So, you have 2 choices:
You can put yourself out there and accept the possibility of failure.Or you can quit before you start and never put anything into the world.
Both are valid options.
Looking like an idiot isn’t fun. However, if you have the burning desire to create and tell stories (through music or art or writing or whatever), remember that you can only shove that desire down for so long you become resentful.
Eventually, it will consume you. That is heartbreaking to watch.
Happy artists will risk looking stupid and be okay with it.
Happy artists are peaceful artists.
Once, a reader online told me that I didn’t understand what it was like to be an artist.
Apparently, I didn’t understand the burning anxiety that comes with the desire to create every single day nor did I understand the anxious anticipation that artists feel before they produce their work.
I “just didn’t get it”.
Honestly, however, “you just don’t get it” sounds like what I’d tell my mom and dad when I was in high school going through my photography phase. It’s a bullshit comment.
If you have the desire to express yourself, you’re an artist of some kind.
Being an artist has a really low bar for entry. You don’t need to be talented to be an artist.
A child’s finger painting projects from preschool art class fall into the same category as the Mona Lisa. They’re both “art”.
That bothers a lot of people, but it doesn’t bother the child. If no one has planted the idea in the child’s head that art has to look a certain way, judgment is not a factor.
When you can accept your art for what it is (an expression of yourself) and detach from the grandiose expectations that you attach to it, you’ll become happier, more peaceful, and you’ll enjoy your work more.
Ironically, this is probably what will also make you more successful.
I understand what it’s like to battle insecurities as an artist/creator.
In quarantine last year, I wrote an entire 70k word novel that will probably never be published. Half of my articles will never be published. I’ve abandoned every single creative pursuit I’ve begun besides writing.
The 2 biggest problems that hold back young content creators are fear and inconsistency, and the former largely creates the latter.
The fear of looking stupid is a very real and valid emotion, but this fear is amplified by the anxious mind. It’s a valid feeling, but it’s not an excuse.
No matter how it is you want to express yourself, you will never be free from judgment. However, you can become free from the negative emotions associated with it through practice, self-awareness, and mental training.
When it comes to establishing sustained creative flow, there is no goal that is more worthwhile.

What's your single best piece of advice for anyone? | I'm an overthinker. If overthinking was a competition, I would have won medals for my country.
That's the level of overthinking I do.
Crazy. I know.
I overthink about almost everything. This is where, few days back I started doubting myself.
And self doubt combined with overthinking is not a good combination, people.
This is where I frantically asked a wise friend of mine, “Am I not a good person?”
He calmly replied,
“There's no good or bad person. We all are a combination of both. It is just that some people are 80% good and then they do some selfish things that makes them 20% bad. Some people are 80% selfish and then they do some good things that make them 20% good"
“Never ask this question to anyone", he continued.
“If you ask this to someone and suppose they say yes, you are not a good person. Then you'll believe them. So don't do it. Just know that no one is 100% good or 100% bad. And it's completely okay”, he concluded.
And this completely changed my perspective. Best advice I have received till date.
If you are reading this,
Thank you, wise friend. ;)

What food is just impossible to eat in a civilized manner? | Curried Crab there is no way!

Does Cersei Lannister show signs of madness in ASOIAF? Will she use wildfire in the books to kill all her enemies like she did in GoT? | No, I would not go as far as to say “madness”, and I don’t expect she will ever go that far.
She does however show signs of being increasingly paranoid, and once shows signs of actual delusion.
Her paranoia mostly exhibits itself in the following ways:
After Maggy the Frog’s valonqar prophesy, she is paranoid that Tyrion is going to kill her. The prophesy states:“And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”Valonqar (as far as Cersei understands it) means “little brother” in valyrian. She assumes this refers to Tyrion, and that he will try to kill her. There is a large population of the ASOIAF fan base (myself included) that speculate that if she is killed by a younger brother, it will be Jamie. He is technically younger given he was born second. Given Cersei is frequently wrong, GRRM has a propensity for misdirection, and it is mentioned in the books that he was born second, it seems highly likely this will come to pass in some form or another.Once Tywin is killed she becomes even more paranoid, believing that Tyrion is still in King’s Landing, living in the walls, and will eventually try to kill her. She gets increasingly obsessed with that idea.She has an obsession with fire. She has the Tower of the Hand burned down after Tywin is killed, in part because she believes Tyrion is still hiding in there. While watching the tower burn, and she watches it burn for a long time, with a feeling of almost ecstacy. I expect this is a sign she will eventually at least try to use wildfyre (though not in exactly the way it was done in the show.) This may motivate Jamie to have to kill her to prevent that. However, that is speculation, and I digress.She is paranoid about Margaery, leading her to arm the Faith Militant, which we all know how that works out.
She also exhibits a sick level of cruelty on others. She offers up her former friend Falyce Stokeworth to Qyburn so he can do experiments on her in the black cells. All because Falyce knows too much about Cersei’s plans. We don’t get to see exactly what happens but later Qyburn mentions that she can no longer feed herself. Cersei is not even disturbed by the implications of what he must have been doing to her to cause that.
She has the Blue Bard, a singer, tortured to get him to falsely admit that he slept with Margaery. All to try and get Margaery thrown in jail. (Which is also another sign of her cruelty.)
Her level of constant manipulation of Jamie ever since they were children, to the point to where she in part influences the Mad King’s decision to take on Jamie as a member of his King’s Guard, just so he will not leave her, is a sign of extreme selfishness.
The one time where she exhibits what some might percieve as a mental issue is when she is doing her “Walk of Shame” to the Red Keep. Towards the end she starts thinking she sees people from her past, Ned, Tywin, etc. I still don’t believe she is mad in this because she stops short of actually believing they are there. She knows her paranoia and stress is causing this. So I think this shows a high sense of mental distress in the moment, but not mental illness or madness.
I believe these are the signs of a cruel, paranoid, and manipulative person. A narcissistic person. Honestly, she’s just terrible. No redeeming qualities in the books.
This is however not the same as madness. She does not have a mental illness. And although highly paranoid at times, she is never divorced from reality. Her cruel actions are driven by calculated plans to get what she wants. Cold and heartless, but not mad.
So no, I don’t believe she is or will ever be truly mad.

Whats the #1 thing you always pray for? | The shrewdest and smartest maneuver I have ever seen in business was when Amazon acquired Whole Foods in 2017. Amazon was able to leverage its existing logistics and technology infrastructure to quickly gain a foothold in the grocery industry and expand its reach into the physical retail world. This acquisition also gave Amazon access to Whole Foods’ high-end customer base, allowing them to target those customers with their other products and services. It was a brilliant move that has paid off for Amazon in the long run.

What kind of benefits does being an FFA officer have? | As a former Chapter, District and State FFA Officer in Iowa and a current sitting and voting member of the Iowa FFA Alumni Board, I know from a LOT of experience that one of the best things you can do for your confidence, knowledge, resume and college applications is to run for an office. But you need to do it for the right reasons. Not because you get to miss school and make decisions and boss people around, but because you get the opportunity to not only better yourself, but better your chapter and the organization for all of the members that will come after you.

Why are Siberian Huskies abandoned in large quantities? | They’re very independent and they are masters of escape. If a husky doesn’t want to stay in the yard, he’ll find a way out.

What made Neil Peart such an amazing drummer and lyricist? Huge Rush fan, I have read that he played technically difficult beats and arrangements. What do other Drummers think? | I really think Neil shines most in the composition of his drum parts. So well thought out and so well executed! One has to ask themself what exactly makes a drummer great? Is it speed? Well, there are faster drummers than Peart. Is it musicality, and/or groove sense? Neil was not often counted as a “groove master”. Though his grooves were pretty dammed good, and they fit the songs very well. As did his fills (which most “groove-oriented” drummers avoid. Is it limb independence? He certainly excelled at that too. Just listen to his part at the end of “Bravado”. All said, Neil was a Master. Can his playing be copied? Of course. Is it difficult? Oh yeah. Personally I think he will go down as one of the greatest ever simply because of the thought and care he put into the songs. And then the precision in which he performed them.

Why is there so little trash on the streets of Vancouver, British Columbia, relative to any other city, such as San Francisco? | Just guessing. Because Canadians aren't all paranoid about “big government" like Americans, so you have things like national healthcare, and- again, I'm guessing - fully funded public works departments that keep the streets clean. Also less homelessness, and just generally more courteous citizens who don't throw their trash on the streets.

Which Oscars had the toughest competition for the best actor? | The Oscars, a subject that baffles me, as sometimes it is clearly NOT for the best performance, one example is the year 1969. The nominees: Richard Burton from Anne of the Thousand Days, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight both for Midnight Cowboy, Peter O’Toole for Goodbye Mr. Chips, and who wins it- John Wayne for True Grit. I enjoy John Wayne films, alot, but, I find Mr. Wayne mostly has the same charactor in his films, and the other actors’ performances in 1969 were all better that year than Mr. Wayne, who clearly won on sentimentality.
As for competition, toughest competitions for Best Actor included the performances of the men in 1939, 1940, 1951, 1962, 1964, 1985, and 1988. There are more but I have to stop somewhere.
As an aside, I am somewhat bugged about actors, and actresses that receive nominations for a leading performance, wherein it was a supporting performance, and vice versa. For example, and I have mixed feelings about it. In 1991, there really was no leading male performance in Silence of the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins who won the Oscar, and deserved one, but was it a leading or supporting performance? Some days I think it was a leading performance, and other days I think it was for a truly magnificent performance in the supporting actor category.
This now brings me to the subject of Geena Davis. When Melanie Griffith announced that Miss Davis won the best supporting actress Oscar for her touching, amazing performance in The Accidental Tourist, I went through the roof. But, thinking about it, I wonder if this was more a leading performance? I am really confused as to what constitutes a supporting, and a leading role
If you think the Best Actor category has been difficult, look at the performances for the Best Supporting Actress, and no year, for me, was more difficult than in 1973 (1972 comes extremely close.) The nominees were: Madeline Kahn for Paper Moon, Candy Clark for American Graffiti, Linda Blair for The Exorcist, Silvia Sidney for Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams. The winner was Tatum O’Neal, and here we go again folks, I thought the role of Addie Loggins in Paper Moon, was a leading performance, and NOT a supporting performance. BUT THAT’S ME.

What is the easiest and best way to wake up in the morning? | So as a quick tip: It’s old news that a cold shower will wake you up super easily.
The problem is, taking a cold shower in the morning absolutely sucks.
A low-hanging fruit that also works—after you brush your teeth, run cold water over your hands and forearms.
Try to let the cold water touch lots of skin and keep it running over, holding the position, then, put your face down into the sink and let the cold water go over your face.
Hold it for 5–10 seconds and I guarantee you’ll wake up more. Not only that, cold water causes a dopamine release that has no crash (falling below baseline dopamine).
Caffeine works too (I still drink it) but it’s a form of borrowing energy from the future.
Coldwater and sunlight are the healthiest ways to wake up. I can’t give in to sunlight though. My room is ultra dark. You need night vision goggles just to get around in there at night.

What is a do-follow backlink? | In relation to how search engines like Google crawl and index links on websites, no follow and do follow links are used. For link building methods and SEO to be as effective as possible, it's critical to comprehend the differences between different link categories.
• Google does not receive page authority or important signals from no follow links. They essentially "tell" Google not to crawl the linked website or follow a link. Links that aren't very relevant or could perplex Google's crawlers are frequently used as no follow links. They avoid undermining the legitimacy of the connecting page.
• Links that Google considers to be "do follow" provide page authority and indicate the significance and authority of the connected page. These links actively raise the linked website or page's search rating in Google Search results. Due to the fact that they transfer link equity from one domain to another, do follow links are crucial for link building SEO.
Other important considerations regarding no follow vs. do follow connections
• The majority of external links, or those that point from your website to a page outside of it, are by default do follow links. However, a lot of CMSs and link builders will produce some no follow links.
• Internal links, or those that connect pages within your own website, are frequently do-follow links. However, "canonical" URLs are occasionally designated as no follow.
• Although less than do follow links, no follow links nevertheless convey some PageRank and link equity to the connected website. Better than none is some PageRank.
• New links from reputable, high-quality domains have the best chance of raising ranks. Make sure all links you create are designated as do follow by checking them twice.
• A no follow link cannot be made to become a do follow link, and vice versa. The type of connection is determined by the link anchor and markup, not by the website that is connected or linking.
• Steer clear of "link schemes" when numerous websites exchange links or spam links with one another. These links often have no follow and are not very helpful for SEO.
• Increase links naturally by publishing valuable, high-quality material. By producing authoritative content and beneficial connections, you may earn links the proper way. That will result in links that are dofollow and affect rankings.
• Check your website's profiles in Google Search Console to check the kinds of links (do follow vs. no follow) that Google is discovering. Make changes as necessary to obtain more do follow links.

I have a theory that Gamma-ray bursts are really planets setting off imploded cylindrical uranium, gun type nuclear devices and gamma ray lazing. Does anyone have any comments? | What you have is a ‘theory’ in the popular sense: ‘theory’ = ‘I think’ (most likely without rally thinking about it). It is not a ‘theory’ in the scientific sense.
What you have is “not even wrong” (it would have to make much more sense to be ‘wrong’)

Further proof that large quantities of money and brains rarely share space.
