Six weeks, once (mostly to prove it for conversations like this), more often something like 2-6 days. I can really take it or leave it as caffeine, but keep drinking stuff for flavor and enjoyment - if they made decaf red bull I could give up caffeine tomorrow :)
I regularly stop drinking caffeine for days at a time and have been unable to notice a difference. It's a shame because I was really hoping to find that my headaches had an easy solution like not drinking caffeine, but they don't appear to be correlated.
It helps that it's shaped more like townhouses than an apartment building. We have a large interior carpark/garden where the kids play, which creates a lot of incidental contact and I think the kids are a huge factor in making a neighborhood feel, it creates an easy shared experience and proximity means you can easily help people out with eg shared babysitting. There's also a few people who make a dedicated effort to encourage community, like trick or treating, and it's a place where half the residents have been there over ten years. I joined the HOA in my first year which has definitely helped me get to know others.
It is certainly done in many other cases - it is often illegal to withhold information you have without being mandated to collect that information, such as when selling a house with defects.
Loading time doesn't always result in complaints (that depends on the user's expectations) but has a significant effect on likelihood of repeat visits, length of visits, and amount of interaction.
It could still be environmentally friendly, depends on the total truck distance vs total scooter ride distance across the fleet (since a truck carries multiple scooters). Harder to work out what kind of transport the scooter miles are replacing, though - if it's walking, then it's obviously not helping.
It wasn’t exactly debunked, but seems to measure something different to what they thought recently. So as a parent your takeaway should be to give your kid experiences of delayed gratification that actually pays off, and help them learn to identify which scenarios fit into this.
> It also gives the sellers certainty of sale so when they go to buy another house, they don't have to deal with contingency offers.
A sale isn’t certain until it’s closed, so unless you are suggesting a sale and lease-back arrangement, it doesn’t really change the sellers situation.
> I find that worrying too much about this is harmful for my personal development and that taking a stance that is something like "luck doesn't exist" is more useful.
That may be true, but what’s the effect on your understanding of other people, society, and how the world works? Is that not important to your personal development?
Most people will experience anxious/negative feelings throughout their life, and improving how they handle them will be useful on all those occasions. I don’t know how you think you are going to prevent this from happening to you - perhaps you are thinking specifically of an anxiety disorder or other extreme?
Start by noticing when it could be useful. You’ll (probably) find that there are plenty of low-key situations where you can assert yourself without being a jerk, and you can use them as practice.
I find an interesting contradiction between the recommendations to
a) check your email only at scheduled times
b) when you are working, say no to interruptions
c) instead of replying with an email, walk over to someone’s desk [and assume that they are ready to chat with you at any moment instead of sending them an email that they can read on their own schedule]
And most importantly, open space is cheap. None of the reasons you listed explain an open space containing 40 people working in different roles and teams, some of whom will never ever have a work related conversation.
I think France, because to show statelessness to the UK you need documentation from the country of birth saying the child is not eligible for citizenship there. But if France required similar documentation from the parent’s country, then I think it would be whichever you applied to First?
“This amount of knowledge” appears to be a canonical example of “just enough knowledge to be dangerous”. It appears that he’s spent years arranging his life under a false understanding of the relevant laws that could have been cleared up by a question on immihelp, or ten minutes with a UK immigration lawyer.
As another commenter mentioned, it is known as the Surinder Singh application - you have to show that you are genuine residents of the other EU country, and then your home country has to treat you as they would any other couple with the right to live in the EU -

I got this information from my research in the 90s, and it’s definitely valid today. Your own citizenship does not change, but your children will be eligible to register as a British citizen through form MN1 Section 3(2)
> To qualify under this section, the parent who is British by descent must have been born to a parent who was a British citizen otherwise than by descent (or if that person died, then they would have been a British citizen otherwise than by descent but for their death).
The British citizen by descent parent must have lived in the UK (or, if the child was born on or after 21 May 2002, in a British overseas territory) for a continuous period of 3 years at any time before the child’s birth. During that period they should not have absences exceeding 270 days. The application must be made whilst the child is under 18 years of age.
The 3 year residence requirement for the parent does not need to be met if the child is stateless.
