I might misunderstand your comment since English is not my mother tongue, but worth regarding what? If you need a poem, an engineer might be worthless; if I need a bridge, I wouldn’t call a poet. The greatest ecologist and the patient in co

I’m not sure your conclusion necessarily follows from the premise. There are aspiring writers who care about writing and/or publishing, and writers who care about literature. The formers usually are weaker readers. However, most of the

I understand what you’re saying, but I read that phrase in a different way. Let’s say you have two ways of doing the same thing: both work, both are legit and neither introduce GC bugs. The only difference between the two is that one can be

I’m sure you’re aware that it _greatly_ depends on the region you’re living in. The fact that consultori are for reproductive health doesn’t mean that there are no obiettori: for some of them the purpose of those structures are exactly to p

I have a 10€/day rule: if I want to buy something that costs 120€, I have to be sure of wanting it for 12 straight days. That doesn’t apply to emergencies, of course.

It appears so, but that 50$ doesn’t keep going. What happens, for example, when the grocery gets robbed? That 50$ becomes 0$. When money’s involved, whether it’s debit/credit or cash, there’s always a money management cost involved, an
