For myself, I suddenly lost the ability to read. Then I realized that the real problem was that the words were missing. I wasn't conscious of a hole in my vision, it was just that everything in one part of my vision was gone. Kind of l

What was the technical work you did? Was most of your time spent on market research, coding, blockchain, or designing/implementing algorithms? I would pick one or more job titles that are both relevant to the job you're applying f

I'm a light sleeper and I feel like I have an awareness of everything nearby when I'm asleep (like I used to fall asleep with an open laptop in bed during college without knocking into it). I have a feeling co-sleeping wouldn&#x27

It depends on how big the TC difference is. If you can make 2x working at a more volatile company, you can stash away the extra to get through hard times. I would also only count TC in the first year (or 6 months), not some stock options th

I would be annoyed if I started getting so much melatonin from my food that my nightly 0.3 mg melatonin stopped making me sleepy. And I imagine everyone else would be annoyed when they stopped getting sleepy at night from their own melatoni

I had the same question. Apparently people who had already been taking Metformin for diabetes were at lower risk of severe Covid [1], which explains why Metformin is being studied. Looks like the same authors found that Metformin as a treat

That would be like saying he used "yup" to sign contracts in the past except this time he used "yeah" (if you accept that yup, yeah, and thumbs up emoji are all linguistically equivalent).

I don't think the kid even has to be confused about what the parent is doing. If a kid sees a parent on the phone all the time (reading), they want to imitate being on the phone. The fact that the parent is reading is a second level di

As a meat-eater, these products have been great as an option for sharing a meal with my vegetarian friends. I don't really know good vegetarian recipes, but I know how to cook a burger.

When you hear a tornado warning, the advice is to shelter in place in the most structurally sound part of the building. Given that half of the building collapsed, there may not have been a safe place. Running away from tornadoes is not reco
