  • What computer life hacks are your most used?

    Jump

  • Yeah I do a lot of keyboard shortcuts. My computer career started before I even had a mouse, it was all keyboard editing. Doesn't bother me a bit to leave the mouse just sitting there. In fact after typing a comment here I just tab to the Post button and hit Enter.

  • Not me man - before I had kids and responsibilities I would do a 6-month contract job and take the rest of fthe year off to do theatre. Good times!

  • Yeah, if only you'd voted for Kamala... b-but genocide!

  • Could Venusian greenhouse gas effects keep a TNO like Pluto warm?

    Jump

  • No, the greehouse effect involves the atmosphere trapping the sun's heat, and at the distance of Neptune the sun just looks like another bright star - too far away to provide enough heat even to keep an atmosphere in a gaseous state. BUT... if a faraway planet (I'm just gonna go ahead and use that word) generates enough internal heat to keep its atmosphere gaseous, it wouldn't need a greenhouse effect, or even a sun. It could roam around between stars and still maintain an atmosphere, and who knows... living things could evolve that get all their energy from heat instead of sunlight.

  • Agree, I imagine House only got a medical degree because he was effortlessly a straight-A student and it fed his ego.

  • I disagree, pretty much every character in the show has a LG moment when they do the right thing in spite of being tempted not to.

  • GingTFO isn't actually a huge problem for Americans. I've looked into it and the only reason I'm still here is that my wife refuses to leave and I love her too much to leave her. Dozens of countries will give Americans residency, although citizenship is usually a lot more difficult and/or takes years. There is usually a minimum income requirement, but you don't have to be rich. I've seen it in the $1200-$2k/mo range in multiple places. Of course this has to be income you can still make while you're in the new country, not a US job you're going to give up. Makes it pretty sweet for "digital nomads" tho who can work remotely.

    A few countries highly rated by expats are Costa Rica, Panama, Uruguay (esp good environment for LGBTQ+), and Thailand. Vietnam doesn't even have a visa limit - technically it's 3 or 5 years but all you have to do to reset it is go away for like 30 days. There are lots of others. If you want to get started google "Americans moving abroad", there are tons of helpful videos and articles.

  • Important question

  • Those were all just thrown in to cause confusion and distract everybody from the correct answer, Onion Rings.

  • I'm gonna have to lock in Onion Rings as my final answer.

  • Very good analogy. They're also ignoring that getting faster and faster at reaching a 50% success rate (a totally unacceptable success rate for meaningful tasks) doesn't imply ever achieving consistently acceptable success.

  • That's too bad - I've seen posts from scientists, or people who claim to be, saying what I said.

  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?

    Jump

  • My bad, I quoted their yearly "at risk" not their monthly premium. Fixed it.

  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?

    Jump

  • Very affordable! 170 euros is less than typical US Obamacare insurance, which isn't top-grade and I don't think includes dentistry.

  • Sounds pretty good to me. If you lose your job and are still unemployed 3 months later, what happens then?

  • Dunno what Sci-Hub is, but most researchers are happy to send you a copy of their paper on request - and this is completely legal. Their email address is usually on the abstract.
