[I'm being polite :)] I've been unable to find anything to make an informed opinion on what they mean by end-to-end encryption, which is prominently mentioned on the home page etc.

[I'm not being polite. #BeingThatGuy :)] My best guess is that they're using their own definition of end-to-end encryption. i.e., SSL for transit + encryption at rest = "end-to-end encryption". Whatever.

Should I get X-Plane now or wait for this?

Checking out flight sims is on my bucket list, but not urgent. Can anyone who knows better comment on this? Yes, I can try the trial X-Plane. But I'm lazy.

To give a sense of what I'm looking for: I tried X-plane on Android TV. The controls were extremely realistic. And by that I mean I never managed to land without crashing. :) I was ok with that.

Donated. Good luck to the doggies.

"I use NVC frequently to people with a lot more power than me ..."

Examples? I'm struggling to understand how one could "frequently" have to use NVC with "people a lot more power".

Having to do this frequently itself is a problem with the organization, right?

> Later I read a book which said that there were a handful of tiny little Dravidian isolate languages scattered around Saurashtra

Do you remember the title or author of the book by any chance?

This is fascinating. Because there is a pocket of Brahui (a Dravidian language) speakers in Pakistan.

I thought a TA appointment was 20 hours per week?

It could be said that even adult octopuses "play". Don't remember. Yes :( [except one species iirc].

There's a decent-length section in the book about octopus lifespan.

I read this review and immediately ordered the book. Just finished reading it. I learned a lot. Worth a read. Thought provoking.

Do you have some beginner-friendly links on what is and not allowed in French winemaking. I've always thought I'm paying only for the "Frenchness" and not anything specific about the winemaking process itself.

E.g., kinda like the German beer-making standard vs. "anything goes" Belgian-style ales.
