  • What are things that visitors can do you your nature reserve, regardless of amount or frequency, that don't hurt/damage the reserve? As in, if 1,000,000,000 visitors showed up at your gate tomorrow and asked what they could do in your reserve that wouldn't hurt/damage the reserve, what would you tell them?

  • Struggling taught me that if I don’t use my money right now it’ll be gone.

    And I’m not saying that to contradict you. It’s funny how different people learn different lessons from the same experience. I grew up dirt poor. If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon. And that’s the lesson I took for years.

    This is something others had to explain to me as I didn't experience this first hand.

    If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon.

    In case others are reading this there's a few extra points to gaining the understanding of this concept. An example of this may be:

    You have come into $100 without it being allocated to anything. If you wait "too long" a bill/need will show up that will consume all of that $100 (and probably still leave you needing more). However, if you spend the $100 as soon as you get it, you can buy a nice pair of sneakers or a video game. The bill will still come, and you'll still be in debt at the end, but you'll have your sneakers/video game. So this mindset incentivizes spending immediately instead of saving. An additional angle on this is that you may not have the bill/need but someone in your life does, and if you have $100 and don't volunteer it, or refuse to "lend" it when its discovered, there are large social consequences. So again, spending it immediately is incentivized, because there are no social consequences for not having the money to "lend", only having the money and not "lending" it.

    This is far more common that I had understood initially.

  • Most of us do something like that when we first get money we earned ourselves, myself included. Depending on when you did actually stopped wasting money, this may have had a massively positive impact on your life. If you learned that lesson fairly early, it translated into you making wise spending choices as an older adult. You are successful today because you wasted that money back then and made changes afterward.

  • Mine would be not slacking in learning Chinese because I never though I would be a weeb.

    I thought "weeb" slur was refering to one way into Japanese pop culture, not Chinese.

    Now I need to re-learn tons of Kanji

    Kanji would be one of the three Japanese writing systems. The written language symbols in Chinese would be Hanzi.

    That said, its never too late to learn any language, and any work you did before still helps today as you have a basis for understanding to build on. Depending on how young you learned what you did, you could have some very helpful hard wiring in your brain for other languages than your native one.

  • Labor is too expensive for US manufacturing without significant price increases

    This also isn't a problem for just manufacturing. Even USA white collar information workers are competing with information workers in other nations which earn (and cost the employer) a small fraction of the cost of a US worker.

  • I am asking because without reading the article it seems like the only interested people would be Indians.

    You're coming to a community called "World News" and complaining about getting stories of * checks notes * World News?

    What exactly do you think World News is? I come to World News to read stories just like this that are happening on the other side of the world from me.

    India is the most populous country in the world. It, along with a handful of others will likely rise in dominance in the next 100 years if nothing else because their population isn't declining. Seeing this window on development in India is seeing a prequel to a future superpower. I find it fascinating to see how they choose to go about it.

  • Imagine having to force yourself to chew and swallow substances because you will die otherwise.

    How would it be different than breathing then? I don't get actual pleasure out of breathing, but its not a chore either. If I don't breath, I will die.

  • I'm reading this that the label is saying that babies are extremely flammable and that the lighter should not be used around them lest the babies burst into flames, and those burning babies could become a hazard to the lighter user.

  • Every year the government takes 1 hour away from every American with the implementation of Daylight savings time. They return the hours to each American in the fall. However, in between March (when the hours are taken) and November (when the hours are returned) over 2 million Americans die, and don't get their hours returned to them, or their estates. This happens every. single. year.

    What is the government doing with all of these stockpiled hours of dead Americans?

  • I will say more, the same exact team that spends time managing EKS clusters could manage self-managed clusters and have money to spare for additional hires.

    Your suggestions is a large expansion of skillset needed for your alternative to the cloud solution. Your own experience in attempting to hire workers should point to the reason thats a bad idea. You're going to need even higher skilled people, and they are going to ask for significantly more money.

  • One method to approach this is to use a simple personal algorithmically to create answers here. As in, you could put any security question in front of someone that uses this method, even those questions never seen, and the personal algorithm would produce an answer only the user would know. Here are a couple algorithms I made up to show an example for this post.

    Input security question (the first from OP's list): What was the first stock you ever bought?

    • Algorithm number one answer: eight - Algorithm: How many words in the security question?
    • Algorithm number two answer: sold - Algorithm: Ignore all words except the verb, in this case "bought". Whatever the verb is, the answer is always the opposite verb.

    This way you don't necessarily have to write down your security question answers. Most certainly never write down your personal algorithm. Using this method it is trivially easy for you (and only you) to produce an answer from any security question given to you and equally easy for you to reproduce the answer when you need it in the future.

  • All Holdo had to say was “yes, there’s a plan. Not telling you what because of operational secrecy”. Instead she expected Poe to blindly follow orders when he’d already shown he couldn’t do that.

    Well, he did fine following orders in the first movie, and then they changed the entire character in the second movie but kept the same name. I have no idea why they did that.

  • Eventually they tell me that I have a “Contemplating Poop” face and that they always know if I’m considering taking a dump.

    People don't know that this is what a healthy mature loving relationship looks like. This is the endgame where your chosen life mate knows you so well that in some ways they know you better than yourself. This is likely just one example of subtle hints they know of to judge your mood and your needs. Later it just seems like magic when your partner puts a meal down in front of you, and you just realized you're so thankful because you're famished. If you're doing a loving relationship right, you do this for them too in ways they can't understand.
