Daedric. Or if you can't afford them, don't settle for anything lower grade than glass, and spare some soul gem to enchant them with Absorb Shock 3pts 25ft, for longer lasting battery.

I haven't read the books, but from the films it's clear that this Freddy Kruger guy (so the true name was Dunning? Glad they changed it) is an idiot. I'd be a much better villain, even though I never tried.

Tanti auguri a Romolo e a Remolo...Romo e Remo? ROM e RAM?

Just for fun, as that address is already compromised by spam, I went for the old "It is hard to reply to your offer unless you tell me what kind of resource you actually need".

Guaranteed 0% reply rate, but I like to believe it pisses off recruiters.

Checking the spam folder of old email addresses I get a job offer. The company actually exists, typos suggest there's a human on the other end.
Red flags: "we work on AI" (to do what exactly?), the legal address is an apartment building, all offers online have been deleted.

It depends. Which Country are you referring to?

In Italy we have an exact date: 28 March 1994.

Started a list last week of ways we pay taxes for oil and gas, got to 17 (unofficial):

1 Govts paying exploration firms
2 Extraction incentives
3 Corrupt politician/lobbyist deals
4 Industry workers harm/death
5 Spill/leak clear up
6 Other environment damage
7 Carbon capture projects

1/2

Tasteless is an understatement.

Thanks! All doctors should be this considerate of patients.
Probably your acquaintance was going to have cataracts surgery, which is somewhat a medical necessity to significantly improve quality of life.
This one is borderline-cosmetic surgery to remove glasses and other defects you could live with.

Concerningly, the center she chose does not seem to offer Smile (which I'm told is the only real option for dry eye patients?), and it is offering surgery at a lower price than other clinics (are they performing MK-LASIK?). Her recovery may also be problematic, as she risks infections from pet hair.

She didn't bother looking for information on her own, and got a pre-op visit two weeks ago, the ophthalmologist decided to redo another visit tomorrow, due to severe dry eyes, and, since he's only an external collaborator of the clinic, did not inform her about potential complications at all.

My case should be relatively simple, but with some uncommon features (floaters, dry eyes, some incidents involving hot frying oil splashing into the eyes, etc.), but I'm more concerned about a friend (type I diabetic, dry eyes) who decided to go for surgery only few days after we talked about it.

I've been thinking about surgery for over 3 years, and finally am going to have a pre-op visit in June, jokingly saying people that if it ruins my eyesight, I finally have an excuse to stop working with computers. In reality I don't have enough information to decide whether it is worth the risks.

Can someone who got Femto-LASIK/Smile Pro eye surgery share their experience? (People from the discover feed welcome). TY.
It is very hard to discern true facts, from car salesman tactics on one side, and inflated horror stories from the other. Statistics are not helpful, and articles are paywalled.

To be more clear, this is not a critique of intelligent design, creationism, or dismissing the laws of probability as "inferior" to other mathematical models, just that goals/intentions don't need to be part of the equation to achieve results, and serendipity happens more often than we realize.

Sorry, I am not following your line of reasoning and may be misinterpreting. There is beauty everywhere, from star formation to, let's say, social dynamics.
Complex systems are everywhere, some are engineered, others arise from chance.
Something beautiful/functional doesn't need to be intentional.

Ma nooo!

As a random forum user in the early 2000s put it: "The enjoyable things in life are illegal, immoral, or raise your cholesterol".

You are missing on all the fibers this way, as well as all the other non-nutritional molecules, like antioxidants and volatile compounds mediating satiety.

(It would be nice if I remembered these things myself when buying groceries: French fries aren't a fruit salad)

Posso permettermi di suggerire l'impugnatura vaticana?

Can't possibly imagine how many already said: "but playing is your line of business!", and then got hit by a shovel in an unrelated incident.

It's a "don't care, will fix it if and when it causes problems" kind of situation, which is also why extinctions tend to happen when an environment suddenly changes: a species may accumulate hundreds of negative traits, but as long as it lives within a favorable environment, it will do fine.

Evolution proceeds one *random* mutation at the time.
Is it deadly? You die before having children.
Can you live with it? Congrats! You have increased genetic variability of your species.
In the long run, competition for resources/mates gets rid of disadvantageous combinations.

It needs too many cuts to fix. Better rip it away and rewire from scratch, hopefully the patient won't complain about up and downlink speed during the procedure.

Quelli mi mancano e dovrei recuperarli prima o poi.

Ho letto poco di suo, ma ho l'impressione che il grottesco nei libri di Paolo Villaggio sia molto più "scadente" (?) del grottesco nei suoi film.

Quello che sto leggendo adesso ("Mi dichi. Prontuario comico della lingua italiana", 2011) mi sta dando l'impressione di essere una cagata pazzesca.
