Right.. so you have no data to support your claims, understood.

Do you have evidence to suport this? (Geniunely curious)

Why do you think that is the case? Just the fact that they are more likely to be part-time or not able to be fully committed into their field while also being a mother does not warrant them enough time/energy/x to achieve those breakthroughs?

I don't think any word will do it justice. I would spell out that it's done client-side and what information is/isn't uploaded.
I'd suggest being very cautious of that information you enjoy.

Dr. Stefi Cohen had a post about this today, and advocates for them.

I disagree.

There is still a huge lack of information regarding long term (or even short term) exogenous Testosterone usage - and again, it's definitely not without risks or unforeseen circumstances - this is for both low and high dosages.

Unfortunately it's not proven; nor is it completely risk-free.

But let's assume it was, I don't think ethics ever came into question when making substances illegal.

> As for microwave ovens and other appliances, if updating software is not a normal part of use of the device, then it is not a computer. In that case, I think the user need not take cognizance of whether the device contains a processor and software, or is built some other way. However, if it has an "update firmware" button, that means installing different software is a normal part of use, so it is a computer.

> Its an unfortunate system because steam isn't actually providing that much value

I have to heavily disagree with that.

Other than as you mentioned, the huge amount of eyeballs on all of their library content which you just won't get anywhere near close to. Along with people already having credit on their steam account so they can instantly buy a product without entering payment info.

There's also the distribution and update mechanisms which are such a huge win for the customer as well as developers.

I can also guarantee you, if Steam didn't exist, there would be other 'central store/repo's' that would absolutely be trying to enter this space. Providing an easy location for gamers looking to find new content. It's a win/win/win for all of Valve, Developers & Customers.

May I ask why you opted to take her off the meds after seeing such a huge benefit from them?

How do I report this comment?

It has literally nothing to do with the linked post.

What strategies did you use to consciously work on your empathy?
Typically servers are only under a reasonable workload for load 30% of the day. Resulting in that hardware being unused (wasted) the other 70%.

I've heard this a few times but thoroughly disagree.

Being able to explain/teach something to others is a very different skill to understanding it and isn't compulsory.

Open the link in incognito, or just hit enter on the address bar again so the referrer is removed and it's a direct resource request. (refresh won't work).
3-5 minutes is deal for strength training. So really it depends on your goals.
Not entirely true. Once you're at a reasonable strength level simply switching muscle groups will not provide adequate rest for your CNS to perform your sets optimally.

With all the artificial flavoring, there can end up being very little nutrients in the food. So if you're always having sweet but very low nutritional/caloric foods, there's a chance your body will subconsciously learn this.

Why? To me, that's what science IS. Providing the ability to answer any and all questions about our nature.

Re:How much do hedge fund traders earn? on Wednesday May 10, 2017 @04:38AM (#14306769)
An Index fund can refer to one of the many many different types of weighted/diverse indexes that exist.

Dumping all your money into an ASX200 Index Fund is a lot different to putting it all into Vanguards Total World Stock fund.

Except selling shovels in a gold rush is a legitimate business that provides value.

A more accurate analogy for 99% of the online passive income people would be that they got rich selling maps for where gold is, except the maps are a complete fabrication.

A solid contradiction ;) But I understand your intentions.
