The grinds that can ace the test but can't speak are weeded out by the interview part.

Just look on oxfords website for the admissions test. The TSA test for example is required on top of the math test.

Of course you can train yourself to do these better, but because they are so specific to each major, there is not a test prep industry behind them. So it is a more natural test.

It looks like Russia is also only accepting rubles for wheat [2].

This is the obvious and natural result from the sanctions. OF course they will not accept a currency they can not spend anywhere.

That's what I meant with my comment. Of all the things you need the most to LIVE, it's protein and fats, not carbohydrates.

Energy is the least of one's problem on a super restrictive diet like this one, but having the building blocks for muscles and cells and hormones is the literally vital.

There are trace amounts of fats and proteins in potatoes, not enough to sustain life long term. Enjoy having boundless energy, unable to build mass thus wasting and no libido whatsoever.
And it is ridiculous to compare unavoidable unconscious bias and pulling research papers that don’t align with your politics.

Prep time is the biggest concern I am aware of on the nutritional side. My best answer to this category of excuses is to amortize the prep time by making more of whatever and then freezing the leftovers in meal-sized containers.

Buying an instant pot & a box of those 2-cup pyrex storage bowls was the best series of personal health choices I've ever made. Granted, not all food works out with a round trip through the freezer, but most things do.

I still do eat things that cannot be frozen (well), such as eggs+bacon+toast, but the core of my nutritional needs are available in my freezer at all times (with approximately 1-2 weeks of buffer). Having a small buffer keeps me absolutely calm regarding my next meal source. I do not wait until all my frozen food is gone before I prepare the next batch. If I didn't have the buffer, my cycle would probably break and I'd start eating Burger King and other related trash for lunch again.
Are you watching the original or the remaster?

The latter was only possible because it was originally shot in film, yes, but it was also an incredible amount of work. They needed to reassemble every episode from film!
What good reason would there be for under-specifying it, that would create problems? Like, I can see wanting to leave flexibility in the implementation, but then different implementations should be fine if they both match what spec there is. The only problem would be if one implementation is more strict than it "admits" to being (in its written spec), which is a problem anyways.
> But, then I would stay in the dream or possibility of what could happen if I did those things - but I wasn't actually doing enough to make them happen.

> I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other projects. It is probably human to always want more.

So tell your company that you're leaving them for a while to spend time with your family. Go do stuff and see if you can find what's important to you.

Leave on good terms, wrap up any projects, in the hopes they'd have you back in the future. People will 100% understand if you say you want to spend time with young kids, but it can actually be about "retiring early to do other projects".

That's probably the most pragmatic way to satisfy your "why".

> It is probably human to always want more.

I think people are most happy when they are wanting more, ideally striving to be the best at something they care about. Most great artists and athletes are like that.

I have a theory that our employment system hijacks this by providing a small salary for distraction and artificial challenges and rewards for retention.

Many of us learn that we need to "slow down and become happy" once we've achieved enough career challenges. Somehow we should be content in our positions and pay, but paradoxically fearful of unemployment.

If that's the space you occupy, you're simply underfunded and may actually need to "speed up".

Also, if you have children, and you don't want their lives to be difficult, you may want to consider expanding your safety net to include future generations. You may need to really start hustling if you think about your family's long term goals.

Why would it cost more than the “so called max out of pocket”?

A top tier platinum plan will, per the legal definition of platinum, pay for 90% of expected health expenses.

Max out of pocket should be less than $5k for a family of 4 on a platinum plan, and the employer will be paying 70%+ of the premiums, if not more.

Assuming you are seeing in network providers, which for a top tier platinum PPO should be almost all doctors, and a BCBS plan would be nationwide, then your premiums would be say $500 per month for a family of four, and out of pocket max will be $5k per year at most.

Total expenses of $11k per year for the most expensive locale in the US. And that is assuming you max out health spending every year, which probably will not happen. And that is off the family has only one working adult.

And you get an HSA to invest $7.3k per year and withdraw it tax free at any point in the future. You can have a few hundreds of thousands saved up for healthcare expenses by the time you retire, all tax free.
Sorry posted to the child comment below. It can certainly improve with practice but since these are so specific to each major, there is not a test prep industry geared up behind them. (you can do it on your own though, as they post the tests and most answer keys for prior years.)

I have observed over the years a tendency of people leaving software for something completely different (often something much more tangible).

Maybe that’s your beef, maybe not.

My take on it is slightly different: It could very well be that instead of burnout, you are just missing purpose and meaning in your life. What is the legacy that you want to build for your kids?

Don’t despair. It’s all good. Give yourself props for mastering all but the highest layer of Maslow‘s pyramid. You’ve achieved something most people on this planet never will.

An HIV vaccine is really hard.[1] The human immune system is very poor at fighting HIV. People do not recover on their own. There is no had HIV, recovered, now immune state.

COVID and influenza are much easier, because the human immune system can fight off those viruses reasonably effectively and most people recover. A vaccine just has to replicate having had the disease and recovered.

Here's an article from The Lancet on the many COVID vaccines using this approach now in test.[2]

Well that's satiety/calories. So water will be have an index of infinity even if it's effect is rather small.

I was more just linking it to highlight the 1995 study. Potatoes were by far the most satiating food found and far exceeding what NutritionData's modeling predicts it would be. (And FWIW, yoghurt was found to be much less satiating than the numbers would suggest.)

To be fair, with Contiki, a Commodore 64 is also usable for checking email, word processing, telnet to a Unix server (if you don't really need 80 columns), and games, even though it's much slower than the Model 30 or Model 25 and has less RAM.

The reformers actually weren't about reform at all really. They didn't have new, innovative ideas that were shunned for being dangerous.

They were and are luddites who thought warfare hadn't moved on from the 1950's and investing in new technology and capabilities was a waste of time. They claimed the M1 Abrams was less effective than previous tanks such as the M48 Patton. They though radar and guided missiles were useless to put on a plane and that the ideal fighter had more in common with the F-86 than the F-15. While at the same time claiming credit for designing the F-15 when they didn't have a thing to do with it.

> Show, don't tell, is THE big rule of storytelling

This idea has major limits and is by no means absolute. Many sci fi shows fail when they try to show too much, and end up with both bad vfx and bad story. The ones that are standing the test of time are the stories that leave some things up to the imagination, they imply without trying to render every last detail. I honestly think George Lucas was a better director before CG, precisely because he couldn’t show everything he wanted, but had the ability to tell story around the visual gaps. That or good writers and crew.
Professional Javelin throwing is crazy. I as a pretty regular person get about 20 meters, a quarter of the result of Olympic athletes. It's as if I took 40 seconds to run 100 meters.
Games need either a new definition, or a new label. I would define it as some kind of virtual world that is a "closed system" in that the reward is attainable by playing through the game ONLY. Whether the reward is items, gold, the next chapter in the story, it should be something that can only be reached with skill and to a lesser extent time. Chess is a game, and Tetris is a game, but slot machines are not.

Whether we use that word or not, making that distinction would be useful for developers to target the right market, and for players to know what they should expect. When you introduce an equivalence between time playing and money, it is no longer the same product. Imagine a version of chess that allows you to buy pieces mid-game. It defeats the whole purpose of solving a puzzle, overcoming a challenge, and being rewarded by acquiring skill.
Ok great. Now I spend all day wishing I was playing chess instead of working.

quoting production prices when discussing duds is as silly as talking about IP when discussing grocery store item costs. “Bananas at 1$!? They probably didn’t even need to spend any money on inventing it”

When you pay for a drug, your not paying for production, transport or marketing, you’re paying for the 20 years of research that went into bringing it from a random idea of “this might work” to a product on the market, and for the 200 other drugs the company tried unsuccessfully to bring to market along side it.

Now I’m not saying this justifies the prices of all drugs, but it’s silly to discuss pricing while acting like the absolutely largest factor doesn’t even matter.
>pursuing "real" careers like doctors or real estate agents.

As a real estate agent, I can tell you the 80/20 rule is strong in this field. The majority of people are grossly unqualified and do the work poorly, while the skill of the remaining 20% will absolutely pay off for you in terms of efficiency and financial outcome.

It's a double-edged sword where on one level it's great that it is an accessible profession, but on the other it is too important in terms of the impact to people's lives to be a license you can pull out of a Cracker Jack box. By and large, that's what it is, and unfortunately few members of the general public really do any research on their agent and state agencies are pretty lax in any kind of enforcement. Above all else, I'd encourage people to really interview their agent, get to know their business strengths and weaknesses, and don't just hire them because "they seem nice."

Case in point: In my market there is a guy who has been an agent for decades. Takes pictures with his phone, which are always out of focus, turned sideways, and he always ends up with a toilet seat up or something else just gross. Dude gets a ton of listings, which sit and sit and sit on market even for as strong as things have been the past few years. The guy has no business being an agent with that kind of crappy representation of his clients, yet he gets a lot of business because he's slapped a lot of backs and shook a lot of hands. Until the general public gets smarter about who they are hiring, they will continue to get poor outcomes - and that's really sad.

Double its money seemed to be enough to greenlight a sequel. Disney started work on a sequel almost immediately, it just got stuck in Development Hell.

> It seems far more plausible to me that the differences in obesity between countries are caused by simple cultural habits than by some complex psychological task called managing hunger, which seems less likely to be cultural.

Also, managing hunger is Psychological AND Physiological.
I agree that the CICO is a model that works, but it is at least somewhat complicated by the fact that CO is a function of CI. I.e., what you eat takes different amounts of energy to metabolize so it also contributes to what you burn. If I eat 1800 kcal of protein I may have higher CO than if I ate 1800 kcal of simple carbohydrates.

There's already a lot of uncertainty when most people measure their calories (very few people actually weigh their food) and this just adds another layer of uncertainty. I have a feeling those all combine to make it inaccurate enough in practice for some people to claim the CICO model doesn't work.

Yes, lowering the cost of special effects means that they're not that special and there will be lots of crap. On the other hand, it lowers the cost of filmmaking, so there should be storytellers who use this to good effect, where the special effect isn't that noticeable but serves the story?

Though, a question is whether the good storytellers can be found easily? It seems like the situation is similar in fan fiction.
