Maybe that people outside the us involve others more in decision making and rely on them for support. And in the US people decide things on their own and their conversations are just storytelling. Not sure if that is what the commenter was going for, just a guess
>U.S. people when talking about their own medical issues: I had this medical issue, I saw a doctor, and the cause was this.
I would put more US people in the former camp; especially when you consider that a trip to the doctor can become a surprise bill of the thousands for many.
Did you have equally intimate relationships with your US and non-US friends?
Telling someone a fact that happened in your life is not especially intimate. Like if I had a surgery or got married/divorced, I would tell basically anyone who asked. It's a vastly more intimate experience to consult with a friend - for me it would be a very close friend - about an ongoing crisis in my life. I don't usually ask casual friends for their input on my relationship problems or scary medical issues. Though if I do, that's usually part of building a closer friendship.
Im disappointed too.
Well, I have a couple of realistic suggestions below as food for thoughts ... (some amateur experience with Kendo in the childhood)
* Add jagged ribs that prevent the attackers from grabbing your unbrella by bare hands. When grabbed, pulling it will cut their palm
* Make the fabric shark skin that similarly damages their palm when rubbed
* Make it actually heavy not light
* Make the grip thicker
* Make the grip longer enough for both hands
* Add a grip guard. This actually cause a stronger piercing
force because it pushes against the grip guard rather than relying on the palm friction
Some of those suggestions like the jagged ribs and shark fin fabric are not realistic advantages. Perhaps instead of kendo, should think of this more like a mace, cane, or short staff. If the other guy is grabbing it, then you are effectively grabbing him, and all sorts of options related to controlling structure opens up.
This brings up an interesting point. Taxation without representation. If you have a house in the area you will be taxed on it annually via council tax. But if you aren’t resident there you don’t get any say in the local politics.
Ha no, at the office building yes, but we keep our A/C around 75F during the day. I'd go warmer but the interior humidity gets really bad if I let it go too high.
Cartridge distribution network is just like Amazon, right? It already exists.
> Not bad, but not a paradigm shift,
So P100D (100kWh) needs 20 cartridges, or 110kg, instead of nearly 500kg of Li-ion battery. 400kg savings.
The comment means you probably know nothing about vehicle dynamics.
Or too accustomed to dull handling of heavy pickup trucks.
Look at how huge those cylinders are. Sure you're saving some weight but now the entire cabin is full of these cylinders and you're strapping a few to the roof.
Frankly it's also fine if there isn't. Taking street cars to the track is a tiny niche and Toyota needn't cater to it. Aftermarket modding is an option anyway.
I feel empowered when I don't have to worry as much about how to safely operate my car, and it's just automatically safer. And when I don't have to worry as much about other drivers on public roads because their cars are automatically safer. The amount I'd be happy to pay to make that functionality configurable in order to accommodate people with different preferences, is $0.00.
That would depend on what kind of racing you do. I'm pretty sure Spec Miata requires you to run a stock ECU. And it's literally the most popular racing series on the planet.
And Spec Miata is a pretty terrible example anyways... at the point where you're dumping 10k into a $500 motor I don't think you can talk about stock anything...
I actually prefers pens than pencils but with different reasons. With pencils you are tempted to erase things. However, it is an illusion; Eraser does not really erase things, ending up in a dirty paper. It also takes much more time. With pens, erasing is effortless and does not require additional decision to make: Just strikethrough it. Then throw it away when you feel you want to start over.
I have a strong preference of cardinal over ordinal systems, but I won't say all ordinal systems are flawed. I rather like condorcet methods but I think their complexity is too much of a barrier. I've started to come around to Election Science's similar decision of pushing for Approval over STAR because of this and I will gladly argue how STAR is far less complex than IRV (STAR has a max of 2 rounds and IRV will almost always have significantly more. The only time it has two rounds is if there are strictly 3 candidates).

Is it just me or does this sound like a standard coding/mentoring practice?
