On US passports stealing the identity is a possibility as the chip in US passports do not implement any clone detection mechanism.
Like any Dutch mom would say to their kids complaining about cycling in bad weather: you’re not made of sugar are you? (Meaning: you won’t melt due to a bit of rain, quit being a pussy).
Ah yes, a therapist. One of those people who will try to gaslight you into thinking spending 40 hours a week in dayprison is a meaningful life.

The thing with Apple products is that they may not be the best at every single spec but they usually have the best overall package. You can find a laptop that is better in one aspect, but it will be worse in others.

Exactly, so that problem needs to be solved. Labour and income should not be linked.
If you, like me, are not a baby cow and don’t drink milk I can recommend the ECM Puristika. It’s a tiny, single-boiler E61 that’s just purely for making espresso (no steam wand, no hot water spout). Heats up in about 15…

A problem with this approach could be that you're now only testing the feature with the kind of people who would sign up for an A/B test. This group may not be representative of your whole user-base.
Exactly. This need to be social is being used against us. Not just to sell yoghurt, it’s weaponized by the social media networks to manipulate entire countries.
To learn, to create, to grow? None of these things necessarily involve other humans.
I can't remember where I read it, but it always stuck with me: most cases of depression can be solved with a one-time deposit of $20 million in the patient's bank account. A lot of the time, what is diagnosed as…

Never noticed this change, but unlike the blogger I never try to grab the window inside the corner. I tend to aim for the edge itself.
