I know better vibes going on here

Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn't have many videos but the quality of them is so good.

Fears also takes more forms than staying away from something. People with what you might define as more conventional phobias would avoid the thing they don't like (maybe spiders), many would hate the thing and others may even seek to destroy it.

I think enforcing some universal API for this would be a decent compromise. This would allow browsers to handle the UI which means the user can set a global preference or set it per site. At the very least the UI would be uniform so you wouldn't have to fight dark patterns trying to disable them.

This sounds reasonable to me. Starbucks is everywhere. But when you do have options they're far from the top choice.

You could have a look around to see if you have any local coffee roasters and then find out who they supply to try and get something a lot fresher.

I know too many people that think Starbucks is the only place that makes good coffee and refuse to go anywhere else. No, you like strong roasts, lots of sugar, and plenty of advertising, most of which you can get anywhere else if you just ask.

I'm not an expert by any means but just happen to have some knowledge on the subject.

It really depends on the condition, how severe it is and if there are any compounding issues. Take something like depression as an example. In my country, UK, you'll often end up on antidepressants, and get a referral to a specialist if you're lucky. The specialist likely won't have the funding or at least a huge backlog of patients to work through so they'll be trying to get you out on your own as soon a possible, which means getting you to 'good enough'. As a result you'll likely remain on antidepressants when continued therapy would be much more beneficial and could take you off the medication. Drugs are cheap but time with a therapist is not.

The problem with psychiatry is that it's expected to have quick fixes like other schools of medicine. Often the conditions are chronic and the treatment is long term at best which makes it slow and expensive. Drugs can help in the short term but they're often not able to be replaced by correct treatment due to funding.

Fun stories like this remind me why my country (UK) just never feels connected to Europe. We've got this amazing continent on our doorstep but the poor state of our language education prevents many from feeling comfortable to explore it. I would love to share a story like this.

Is this a joke about every day being a 0-day?

Is focus to infinity that different for these types of scopes compared to a conventional camera which focuses to infinity after a couple hundred metres? I would have thought the draw back would be the focal lengths giving you a very small area in frame.

Because the genetics that build the vocal tract could be different, which in simple terms could mean a change in pitch. There are also more cultural differences such as speech cadence, accent, and inflection.
