Ah, the non-problems of young people! What you say is true, but effective repair tooth pastes might be quite interesting for people that already have thin enamel, worn away enamel, crowns, reduced gums, etc. I hope the effect size is big en

So maybe the German "Erfahrung" does not map 1:1 to the concept of "Experience". But maybe it is not so much a lack of concept in the language, but something that is related to particularly American hire-and-fire cultur

To paraphrase your comment: "Connecting the ritual of prayer to another task that you want to accomplish, helps in establishing consistency in doing that other task." Yes, that is a useful tool, to achieve the daily consistency th

I like your Chinese culture comparison and the Englisch language has such a word, too. It's "experience". True, you also can have "an experience", but generally it is used in the sense of "having experience&quo

No, this is not really a fantastic comment because the comment initially supports the thesis of the article, which is "change is slow progress, not a burst of activity" and it does this quite well with a biblical comparison, but t

For copyright there has to be a minimum amount of creativity involved before the law applies. Small snippets of PII would not overcome that hurdle but these small pieces of PII are protected like you describe in the UK and the EU (GDPR). Th
