I can do it to. Selectively by ear. This article seem to consider it highly unusual

but from the last time I saw this skill making the internet rounds, it’s not entirely unusual, as far as I can remember. It had comorbidity with easily being startled or something as well. If you are curious, a few minutes of search or AIing should have the correct information.

You can push liquid through them too. Makes it look like you are crying milk/blood/whatever.

Sadly don’t think this is going to happen. A good CEO doesn’t make calculated decisions based on facts and judge risk against profit. If he did, he would, at best, be a normal CEO. Who wants that? No, a truly great CEO does exactly what a truly bad CEO does; he takes risks that aren’t proportional to the reward (and gets lucky)!

This is the only way to beat the game, just like with investments or roulette. There are no rich great roulette players going by the odds. Only lucky.

Sure, with CEOs, this is on the aggregate. I’m sure there is a genius here and a Renaissance man there… But on the whole, best advice is “get risky and get lucky”. Try it out. I highly recommend it. No one remembers a loser. And the story continues.

Its not about the suggar in this case. Its carbonated with Nitrogen (oxide?), like the Guiness. Gives a different mouth feel.

Because if they weren’t, you would not be here to eat them. Quite simple, really. :)

• Time is a function of our universe. Before our universe, there was no time.

• If there is no time, there is infinite time.

• If there is infinite time, everything will happen.

• If everything will happen, our universe will exist.

Thus, here we are. Or, to paraphrase it in more famous words - if the universe was not as it is, we would not be here to see it.

“The theory”… You make it sound like MAD is some obscure fact. I so hope that is not the case. But maybe… Fuck…

That fucker never works! Sometimes I conclude it’s malware but usually I just try and try and try. UI is messed up. Fingers don’t do what I want. Screen is broken. Drives me mad!

Sharpener or edge-straightener?

Short but to the point comment: at 22, you have more than 10 years to have children. Probably closer to 20. Release yourself from the invisible trap you are in.

That being the point of the quote…

It refers to the part that makes it into Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. Even stretching it, it supplies Europe and is thus Europe’s supply. The possessive form does not indicate control over all or part of the supply.

My water supply comes from the county. Your air supply comes from, well… the air, or the Earth.

If Europe still was the colonial power it once was, you might have a point. Not a semantic one but a “bad choice of word”-one. But it’s not and so you don’t.

Upvoted because “ddged”. Wonderful. 😊

So very true. No-one seems to reason like this with other work areas.

Does anyone assume the office assistant that orders pens and notebooks to be able to, or expected to, fix any issue related to written down notes?

Does anyone assume the person incharge of keeping tools in a workshop to fix issues related to actually using the tools?

Does anyone assume the person responsible for chemicals in a lab to solve issues with s running experiment?

Does anyone assume that it is the chefs responsibility for you to know reasonable etiquette and not slurp your soups and wipe your mouth with with your tie?

There is a difference between supplying a working, correct tool and doing the work that uses it and I’m not even in IT…

But you want to actively not-accuse her…
