Just in case you're not aware of him.

Pat Martino

A jazz guitarist who suffered hemorrhage and seizures in the 80s. Had to have part of his brain removed.

It took 7 years of practicing for him to return to playing properly after the amnesia.

It's a struggle no doubt, but if you want it then it's possible.

Having tried to pick up a new instrument in adulthood it definitely feels more difficult but to be honest the key thing I had when learning as a kid was time.

As a kid I could work at it in big chunks of time and progress that felt great. In adulthood I have to accept I'm chipping away at the rockface with how little time to put in.

It is possible to make progress though and I've learned to delight in the small wins.

I still play my first instrument and can't imagine the loss I'd feel if all that work over many years went away so you really have my sympathy. But if you love it, please don't give up.

Music is a life long hobby that's really good for you, and that's a valuable thing.

I'm sticking with relevance. A >25% rise is what we're talking about.

Several people are suggesting that's what's happening here. Not without reason.

They have lost their parents. They have them been removed from where they live to a location more easily controlled by Israel. Away from references to the culture Israel dislikes.

The question about why an orphanage is a dangerous place is the question to ask when justifications for relocation are first put forward.

Israel should ensure the location they already are is safe from their harm.

A 0.001 difference on a 0.004 total would be worth showing.

No it doesn't.

It's meant to illustrate a change and it does so perfectly fine. It's not a scientific paper.

It's a 32-34% increase looking at the graph. That's significant enough to shout about.

Imagine any change you could make surprising competition by 25% in any market. That's huge.

During setup there is a keyboard shortcut to get to command prompt.

Then a command you can use.

Then the machine restarts and you can setup without a Microsoft account.

(For reference I'm on my dual booting Linux phase. I'd like to ditch it altogether but Wayland isn't quite there yet and x never will be.)

Human papillomavirus HPV is responsible for warts on feet.

So genital warts, mostly HSV (Herpes). Not nice but not particularly harmful most of the time. Cold sores and genital warts. Mouth, genitals. Won't look nice but you won't die.

HPV - cancer.

Further investigation on the evidence may be required but social acceptability chart above may be justified.

If you have a foot fetish get vaccinated against HPV everyone.

Also not googling this. Please take this comment with the respect and authority it deserves. (None)

Just got the optics I would really avoid "execution gas chambers" being on my product applications sheet if I were a German company.

For a fun example to talk about look at Deadmau5's Purrari.

The Nyan cat wrapped Ferrari.

Legally Ferrari had little they could do. There was some things to do with putting a modified badge they could stop. While on finance they could recall the loan due to the modifications affecting the equity in the car.

But any seller of any product has the backstop that they can ban further purchases and refuse future services. Or even potentially be required to buy their home nation.

Why would Nitrogen gas suppliers not want this?

As a global company, do you want to risk losing a major market by supplying a product for executions.

If you sell your product for executions you are officially selling a poison.

Do you want the regulation involved to have to background check every customer to ensure they are not using it for lethal purposes?

Do you want the additional import and export controls on your product?

Are you held liable in any way if someone deliberately uses your product for euthanasia or suicide? Potentially. That's why several countries have limits on the volume of paracetamol an individual can purchase.

The Terms of Service is a sticking plaster, probably not even enforceable, but the bare minimum to avoid further regulations on the industry. But it's certainly worth nitrogen gas suppliers trying to avoid themselves being dragged into a hornets nest of politics, morality, and costly regulation.

Banning a small customer, in prisons, from buying your product could save you a lot of money in the long run.

Rights framed in a constitution are important.

The responsibility of the government is to uphold law and the rights that law protects.

But a legislator sets the law, so without rights being part of a constitution, the government gets no responsibility from a constitution.

The most important stuff is all pertaining to elections. How the government gets elected being in the constitution stops the government changing that before an election.

Then rights directly effecting elections. Speech, protest, anti-discrimination.

Can't have those changed before the ballot.

Everything else can and should be part of a separate bill or constitution of rights.

Wrong way to approach it.

To parents, start using the word wrong.

Any time you kid does something cool you might have done as a kid. "Awesome, that's so boomer."

If they can't do their homework. "You're such a boomer."

It drives kids up the wall when parents use slang right, but when you use it wrong it's even more infuriating.

Your last sentence is essentially no different to OP.

The Red Bull car is Newey because he makes the difference.

It's a team sport but there's no need to preface every statement with the credits at the end of the movie.

We know it's the director's film.

We know it's Newey's car.

We can say either of those statements without diminishing the work of others.

Unless you want to tell me I need to know the names of the 3rd AD and 2nd Dolly grip for each film in the best directors category, you shouldn't be trying to manufacture offence when someone says the "Global Chief Technical Officer" is responsible for the car.

Honestly, as long as that stock is getting replaced donating anything to Ukraine is pretty cost effective spending for NATO defence.

It's directly reducing Russia's operational capacity.

Count it.

Other way round. They take in so much tax haven income for their size they have a huge GDP/capita.

It's 3x the size of the UK.

Luxembourg is essentially spending the same amount per person as the UK on 0.7% vs. 2.1%

If they matched up they'd be spending triple the amount per person.

It would be even starker if it was by land area. Or border length.

I'd fix that graph by forcing companies to report revenue where it's generated, not in Luxembourg to avoid tax and regulation.

A really bitter tasting pesticide essentially.

Us mammals coming along recently has changed some things.

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

https://www.theregister.com/2004/10/12/ipod_us_share/

At the time a "broadcast" to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there's not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren't all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew "pod" meant "iPod" and that's it.

It does matter. If for example it's like the Americans transporting prisoners to be tortured landing here again it makes us complicit.

It means we have even more reason to hold our government to account any way we can.

Cat-headed eagle in Cantonese.

Cat bird in Japanese.

Literal translation for their words for "owl".

Actually yes.

And this kind of thing actually happens occasionally with discharged national debts or medical debts for example.

But the systems still in place tend to just cause debts to rise again.
