I’ve worked both in the EU and the US. Working in the US is 100% worth it, especially if you don’t have kids. It costs about 10k to move one’s belongings to Europe, including having people pack your stuff. If you don’t like living in the U

The steam deck has the potential to be huge. I want to game. I have a mac book and I don’t have a dedicated to desk to play on even if the game selection on mac was good. I don’t want a bulky console cluttering my living room. The steam dec

> There is no such thing as a “forex market”. You are trading directly with a counterparty in forex. That’s called a market. You probably mean a market maker, who may buy or sell a security at a market price without an available counter

It sounds like the issue is that the stocks aren’t locked up for some period of years, leading to a situation where Tim Cook could take the money and run.

I’ve been following this closely and I haven’t seen any mention of non-Ukrainian forces in the country. Seems like pure speculation?

It wasn’t I’ll-thought out. It was an intention decision by the chancellor Gerhard Schröder. Immediately after leaving the chancellorship, he went to work for Gazprom and oversees Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2. https://en.m.wikip

As a German citizen, you should be aware that your country just veto’s sanctions on Russia so that they could keep the flow of natural gas coming. Your ex-Chancellor decommissioned your nuclear power plants so that you would buy more Russia

Do you have a source for the claim that most studies done in mice don’t hold up? As far as I know, mice are quite a good proxy, although there are some differences. It seems like it would be a complete waste of time to study mice if most

Russia doesn’t want its sphere of influence to decrease. Ukraine has wanted to detach from Russia for a long while. Russia has responded with assassinations, destabilization by supporting rebels, propaganda, and now a full blown military in

This isn’t about military alliances. It’s about self-determinism. The people of Ukraine don’t want to live under Russia’s boot anymore. They want a chance to prosper as their neighbors have as part of the EU. They want the right to decide t

I don’t mind judged sports. Do judges make mistakes sometimes? Certainly. But generally the ranking matches the demonstrated skill level. A much bigger issue with the winter Olympics is the repetition. How many times can I watch someone ski
