This is also the default in Gemini pretty sure, at least I remember turning it off. Make's no sense to me why this is the default.

Yeah this is usually how it happens. Whether its ancient Rome, modern Russia, Venezuela, etc all the dressings of the old Republic stay but become subverted by an autocrat.

I assume the idea is more money could've been invested into bringing the bottom rungs of American society up and created a more skilled and educated workforce in the process.

I have the same thing, I can "walk" through my childhood home. I see how the living room was set up, I can walk from there to my bedroom and "see" everything. Honestly if I had good art skills I feel like I could draw it out pretty well. However I would in no way describe it as looking like I'm there at the real thing or looking at photograph, not even close really. It's kinda just a hazy construct in my mind.

I feel like that is where a lot of the miscommunication comes from, people who think others can close there eyes and be transported somewhere else by imagining it. That is unless I actually just have aphantasia.

There's a lot of companies with IP that can be extracted or systems that can be sabotaged by a bitter employee. There's also the extreme cases of someone who knows they are being fired who can do a shooting/arson/some other extreme scenario.

I'm not saying I agree with the shock approach but there are definitely some generic risks that I don't think paint a bad picture of the company by their existence.

Especially when you can zero the scope to 200yds and make it basically point and shoot.

Many sports gambling companies do this, weighing the bets of "sharps" (people who are more accurate than the average) heavier than other bets. A good example of this was Mayweather vs McGregor where a lot of sharps were betting on Mayweather whereas the public was betting more on McGregor. Even with about 80% of people betting on McGregor, the house still had Mayweather as a favorite.

LabVIEW is still used a lot in Aerospace. Definitely due for a replacement at some point.

Personally I don't get on a high horse about it and just deal with it, but if the person ahead of me reclines I lose leg room that me reclining does not give back.

It's more about changing eating habits than working out. Pretty easy to work out and not lose weight (or gain weight if that's your goal).

I agree, not saying aphantasia isn't real but I think a lot of it is misunderstanding of those who think phanatasia is closing your eyes and "seeing" things. In an engineering class where I had to make drawings from multiple angles I would rotate it in my mind and draw it, I can can close my eyes and visualize walking around my childhood home, and I can visualize snap shots of important memories of my life. However, I don't "see" it in any sense of what it is like when my eyes are open, not even close really.

Same thing happened to me about 6 years ago. Told me to relax and not eat spicy foods. Makes me wonder how long medical advancements like this take to really spread to most doctors.

I also failed a lot of tests and I like to think that I am currently a good engineer. Frankly I do not see much overlap between what I was expected to do in school vs. what I do at work besides lab work and projects, which were the things I did do good in.

Honestly, after giving and taking a lot of advice in my life, I think the problem is people have something (A) they want to do in a situation, they then ask all their friends / family / mentors for advice, and even if 9/10 say to do B, they listen to the one person who says to do A. So it's not that people don't listen to advice, they just shop around and listen to somebody's advice that fits the desires they already have.

This has lead me to think the best thing you can do for yourself is to just ask a select few people who you really trust for advice. You still might not listen but at least you'll go into a decision knowing you're not listening to any of the advice you received.
