I think what they are going for is you know all your secrets and insecurities. You might know what you look like before make up, or as you decompress from a hard day of work. You might wear baggy shirt to cover a small belly. You might wear flowing dresses because you don’t like your ass.

You compare that to people who wear yoga pants because they are proud of their ass. Or people who spent 45 minutes doing their hair and makeup that morning. You might see a guy with his shirt off because he spent hours in the gym working on his abs.

You know how you act/look your worst at home alone. You compare to how others look when they are out in public and dressed to impress.

In this case I do partially agree with it. They are for medical implants and since the expected lifetime of the device is 10 years we need to be able to support them for 10 years after the last surgery.

If the dog eats your controller which allows you to turn on and off your device we need to be able to sell you a new controller and NOT tell you “sorry, you need to spend several hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills to replace the device and go through a traumatic surgery to install it”

Now optimally my company would make a modern program that duplicates the technology but is compatible with modern computers but since are no longer making money on these old devices they don’t want to invest the time and money. So yeah…

I think it was 2017 we got rid of our last system running freedos in a console since the original program required do to operate…

I work in a field that is considered by many high tech. I have personally seen a system in use today that duel boots windows 2000 and windows 98.

The product it’s used by is old generations and the system does not have any network access but still must be supported by government regulation for several more years…

Yeah… Which is 100x more complicated cause Microsoft has no idea how to name consoles

Am I old if I remember xoom?

I didn’t even consider incorporating toy distribution… At what levels should kids get a small gift(a toy or game) vs a large gift(bike, game system etc).

In a real world scenario I would probably spilt this between 2 databases… One for kids (“with a nice score of 2 you get a toy of value 4 or less”) and one for toys (“the toys available with a value less than 4 are…”)

All I’m going to say is I still remember “correcthorsebatterrystaple”…

I mean in a certain light, christmas presents are a yearly bonus for children and Santa checking his list is a management review of the child’s performance…

Actually I think there should be a intermediary table as a history of activities of each child. Like child table is I’d, name, age, address, and naughty/nice value, activities would be Id, description, and good/bad value. Then a history table of ID, child_id, activity_id. So santa can recalculate a child’s naughty/nice value to “check it twice”

I think you would have a table of “activities” with a value of how good/bad each is. So like cleaning your room would be +5 but crying in a store because mommy wouldn’t buy you a toy would be - 15. Then you have a table for children and each child starts with 0 in January and then for each activity the child does there naughty/nice value gers adjusted. December 24 Santa runs a query on the dB and gets a list of every child with a positive value.

Keep in mind I currently feel sick and put about 5 minutes of thought into thus.

This actually gave me an idea. Over break I wanted to practice dB design and entity framework. Designing a database and interface for santa to track kids naughty or nice could be a fun/interesting way of doing it.

Generally your blind spot is larger on the right side(especially on tractor trailers) so it’s more likely to result in an accident.

If something is $20 and I buy it with $100 bill, doesn’t mean it cost me $100.

Now something like the zika virus which sterilized men several years ago dud cost lives. Lives that may of been made but can no longer.

That is the difference. Each death from smoking or a tsunami or a mass murderer costed years of potential life but didnt cost the whole life.

To make it more complicated does every decade matter the same? Does your twenty’s when you are out partying matter as much as your thirty/forties when you are most profitable for your capitalist overloads? What about your nineties when you are frail of health but hopefully surrounded by loved ones?

Yes it’s less extreme language. It’s doesn’t manipulate emotions as much, that’s the point.

I hate when articles say “will cost X number of lives”. No it won’t. It will cut them short, it will costs years off people’s lives. Unless it’s sterilized people it won’t cost lives.

A person may die at 40 instead of 80 but that is still a life.

No, his adaqucy is just diluted…

So… Microbiologists are on average mass murders to degrees Hitler ghangis khan and Mao combined couldn’t even come close to… Got it. Staying away from anyone in the micro lab at work from now on.

You are almost completely correct. It does have wireless charging but like your cell phone eventually the life of a rechargeable battery wears and needs to be replaced.

That you are wrong about the last part. Our latest two generations actually use ipads for the doctors and iphones for the patient. I don’t know too much about the security on them as that’s my area of knowledge. That said unlike a pacemaker our devices don’t keep people alive. They lessen movement disorders and reduce pain but people won’t die if they get turned off.
