My roomba was cleaning much better 4 years ago than last 2 years, their app was slick 4 years ago and clunky in last 2 years. Random Product innovations degraded the core product. They did get complacent.


Or maybe the wheels are worn and slipping. Before you junk it, put new rubber on it. Mine was completely transformed.


Switching to a mainly meat based diet, increasing protein and reducing industrially produced foods.


This isn't specifically commenting about your, but I love how wildly different these comments are. The one currently below you said they improved when they switched to a plant-based diet.

Everyone is different, but I just thought it was funny to see how different everyone is.


I'd imagine both diets cut out bad things while prioritizing either mostly meat or mostly plants. E.g you go from a poor, unplanned diet to an improved, focused diet and it will work well.


Worth trying and testing. After 32 years of eating vegetarian, this radical change was worth every penny.


How would you compare plant-based diet to the meat-based diet? Like the side effects, how did you experience it?


I am eating lots of plants along with meat, but I would say my 75% calories now come from meat. I dont have stomach acidity (i used to have it since grade 4), frequent migraines, IBS. I have increased mental clarity, better focus, better sleep.

I would attribute most of these changes to grains/gluten reduction than meat adoption.


Quantum effects can change thermodynamic parameters. If something seems bizzare in thermodynamic models, next step is to understand quantum physics. This includes modification of energy needed for reaction to phase change energy needs.


Quantum or no, there is no shortcut around the 40.66 kJ/mol it takes to evaporate water.


Thanks, this is interesting. Are you considering WAND support too in this?

Doing more math in databases. eg. PostGIS, vector math, ML type workloads supported by declarative SQL.


Cant use password manager either for most of them. example ICICI (one of the biggest private bank) doesnt allow you to paste passwords either. Only way to use password manager is to meddle with view source to allow pasting.


Keepass can auto type and some extensions can prefill without pasting


I don't use the automatic fill option, but LastPass can usually fill on demand even on no-paste sites.

What is the actual logic behind banning pasting, anyway? Is it just anti-scripting? If so, it seems like locking the account after a small number of bad attempts would be enough.


Could probably write a small extension that disables paste blocking


Here's the one I use [1]. My Pakistani bank also does every single thing mentioned lol.

MS is not creating a new office. They are moving their head quarters from suburbs (Mississauga) to Downtown Toronto. They do plan to increase number of jobs from previous location though.


It has been documented that this tribe does not have immunity to many common diseases "outside world" has including flu etc. He was a danger to the tribe.

Not only he was danger to the tribe, he was breaking all local laws as well. Even citizens of India are not allowed to go there.


Here in Canada, the provincial government of Ontario is dismantling the environmental protection apparatus piece by piece in the name of democracy and pleasing some section of people. We do have a lot more education, so there has to be something else. I think it is all about what is the general population (or some section of it values more). Right now environment is not at the top because something else is.


I've only heard of them scrapping carbon cap + trade and fighting against carbon tax. If they've also dismantled regulations regarding more acute, pressing types of pollution I'd like to know.
