It's not cheap and 99% of it was spurious rich people garbage that anyone with a mind for practicality would pass on.

I would say that your modelling experience has given you a good spatial sense, rather.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I keep track of who's around me and where they are moving. It's rare (but it does happen) that I see a car in a space I didn't expect, and that's usually because something else was masking it (larger car, etc) and I do keep that in mind).

Sounds like your suspension is broken or you're idea of a safe speed on such a long left-hander is not in line with reality.

There's a difference between "I can't" and "I won't."

I fall squarely in the "I won't" camp. I just don't like it, and everything I don't like about my current browser seems to have been inspired by Chrome.

Someone should tell Twitch that their business isn't necessary.

Tactics and strategies you can absorb this way, but physical skills (eg, aiming) are more like your golf example. Knowing that you should avoid the sand pit doesn't mean squat if you can't get the ball to land in front of you more than half the time.

My circle of friends do it to show stuff to each other - "look at this cool thing I did!" or "hey, I can't figure out why this isn't working."

We don't often watch each each other play just for the sake of it.

I kind of don't like the idea of all the expensive stuff being inside the things you have your hands on and move around all day.

They don't "see" into shit. Read the summary. All it does is inform the officer if there's movement inside, which doesn't really tell them much.

Visual Basic is not suitable for anything, except perhaps as a form of torture.

My thoughts on avoiding playing with that nerve... ever had a vagus reaction when drawing blood?

I'd rather stay conscious, thank you.

Oh no! He said the same thing again! I can feel my opinion changing!

Nope. Just repeating what you already said doesn't really work.

Assholes like you shame reasonable people like me out of expressing patriotism.

The fun part about politics is everyone has a reason to lie about it.

If you didn't have a reason to lie about it, you'd not have any reason to participate in the conversation anyway.

Rather I think the important bit here is the revelation that common air pollutants affect gene expression, not the effects of such expression. The mechanism is the important part.

I assume they had a control group... is that a correct assumption?
