As i have worked as an IT support person since '94 i would say that the we could also blame the other companies too, which produced inferior products and customers/IT persons who chose better product for their needs (although it is not a customer's responsibility to keep hardware or software...

OK. Based on your post i assumed that during the last 4-8 years there is a tendency that entire groups who have been friends during several decades are now not talking with each other. Which would be pointless and sad at the same time. Good to know that it is not that way. Of course, in my...

Can a lone person (Trump) destroy the country? Why not get rid of those citizens who cause the actual damage? Shouldn't we blame the society which has raised a critical mass of people who instead of working and raising family decide to wreck an important government building. Well, my life...

Why do you assume, that Trump supporter is same as Trump voter and both of them automatically are waiting to go to a riot at first possible opportunity? I have voted a lot in my lifetime, however that does not automatically mean that i blindly follow all the advice of the voted person. I am...

Basketball reference site + Excel's feature "Get Data" + (PowerBI) + some work to filter out unwanted data should do the trick. I tried to do it some years ago.

Isn't it a reason to look at mirror? I.e why should somebody start hating their best friend because a POTUS or some other politician says this or that no matter which country? I can find reasons to start to hate or dislike somebody who i consider very important or is a role model for me, but the...

OK, that is also probably a reason why in my childhood nobody talked about the Lyme disease although my country house was in the middle of the tick territory. Kuressaare-Kihelkonna-Veere – Google Maps I thought it was because the Soviet medicine did not know about it but it seems that it was...

At least in Estonia the doctors seem to state, that Lyme is little bit easier to tolerate (with antibiotics) then encephalitis (which has a vaccine). Both are quite common in Estonia and Lyme is little bit hard to diagnose specially if you do not have the red circle on your skin; you have to...

From "tiny pond country" citizen view: Reagan: B - Soviet Union started to collapse Bush I: B - Soviet Union collapsed, showed Iraq to not mess with tiny countries. Clinton: B - everything went better in my country, liberated Balkans from the terror of Serbs Bush II: B+ he gets the + for...

I hope i have received all the main vaccines (which are usually free today and were mandatory anyway for kids during the Soviet Union regime) and also my daughter was vaccinated with all the free ones and some paid ones. About 20 years ago when i visited a customer site - they had some...

How strong is the "cannot taste or smell anything"? For example, when you inhale eucalypt spray - then you do not sense the specific smell? Or when going to toilet or eating surströmming :) ? What happens when you try to taste some very spicy food? Did you had a chance to do chest x-ray or even...

In USA - how the court knows your real address? I guess in like elsewhere in the world - in USA you might have a house or apartment in different locations and you actually might live in a place, which belongs to somebody else? And then while being in the jury group - can you basically do a coin...

Please explain the "jury duty" thing for non US citizens :) How is the notice "You have to do the jury duty" delivered and can you say something like "i have vacation planned and do not have any free time left" etc?

Well, according to my wife, it is vice versa :-). She had a first test in april (because visiting a specific doctor required test) and she told me, that the one done in spring was not annoying or feelable at all. Testing was done in the same place and by the same company. This time our daughter...

I would say the nose swab is currently not as painful as it is told on news (i had COVID test last monday). IMHO less annoying than anesthesic injection to the backspine (before the knee surgery), cleaning with the nail kind of thing inside the tooth channel by dentist or hornet (i.e not wasp)...

Well, the kids certainly touched themselves and had otherwise close contact plenty of times (5 days at school from 8-14 and after that at home), playing with each other. We did not do any hyper-super cleaning at our home when she went home.

My tiny experience. 2 weeks ago, 30.10 a classmate of my daughter stayed some hours at our home (60 m2 apartment) after school with my daughter and wife. When i arrived i basically said hello and good bye and the classmate left. On monday morning 2.11, the mother of the classmate called and...

Something positive (written by doctor who is also an aviation enthusiast): https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1453993

My point was, that nowadays in USA it is quite unrealistic, that US army attacks its citzens should the POTUS want it. Because, well, the army members most of the time want to have good time in their homeland. It is IMHO only possible should the US outsources all its army services from China...

How would that work in real life, specially in USA? Doesn't most of the generals and other high ranking persons have wives at home, who might get pissed for that kind of shenanigans? My wife would write a pretty LONG letter to me (when she is angry, she usually will wrote a long letter for the...
