If Taiwan had fallen to CCP in 1949, what cultural artifacts would have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution? | That’s a good question. The irreplaceable treasures of the Imperial Palace were moved to Taiwan, and reside in the magnificent (although insufficiently lit) Palace Museum in Taipei. However, I’m not sure if the Red Guards were permitted inside the Forbidden City, and if they could have destroyed things.
I think something more important is that many bloodlines were continued and many intangible cultural treasures were preserved. The bloodlines of people such as Confucius and 韓愈 Han Yü and even 葉公 the Duke of She came to Taiwan and flourished; there’s no telling what might have happened otherwise.
Most important of all was the great cultural legacy. Although Taiwan’s ruling party now likes to pretend that all was bleak in Taiwan before they came to power, up until they came to power, Taiwan was a global intellectual and cultural treasure. Many people came, bringing with them their culture and knowledge. It’s worth remembering that in its day, the Chinese Literature department at National Taiwan Normal University was the world’s best. Chinese Literature encompasses everything written in Chinese.
If Taiwan had fallen, and the KMT had not built up the economy, the famed Tiananmen protests might never have taken place. When the PRC opened up, people from Taiwan flocked to visit, and the locals were astonished by what they saw. They had been living in poverty under the CCP, and these people from Taiwan came with an obviously easy life style and lots of money to spend. Also, 星雲大師 the Buddhist master Hsingyun took a lot of his people to visit historic sites, and people were incredulous by the evident prosperity of these Buddhists. This made a lot of people question the CCP. One overlooked fact is that the protestors had pictures of Sun Yatsen, the founder of the ROC.
Without a free Taiwan, Hong Kong would have been held under a much tighter grip after 1997. But the CCP knows that Taiwan is watching, so they give them more leeway. Also, if Taiwan had fallen in 1949, HK would have been the last place to use traditional Chinese characters.
If Taiwan had fallen in 1949, HH Dalai Lama might be an obscure character in northern India. Another overlooked fact is how much the KMT worked to support him and his cause. Young Tibetans were brought to Taiwan for education, and material promoting freedom and Tibetan Buddhism were smuggled into Tibet by the KMT. This was very powerful for keeping Tibetan Buddhism alive. With Taiwan under the Cultural Revolution, none of that could have happened.
Also, one more thing that is important to me, at least: tea. Communists, and the Red Guards in particular, considered tea decadent and bourgeois, so historic tea plantations were uprooted and the skills of making tea were not practiced or transmitted. What many people may not know is that after the mainland opened up, a lot of Taiwan’s masters in preparing tea leaves were hired to teach people in the PRC how to cook tea leaves. If you aren’t crazy about tea, poor soul, allow me to explain what that means. 炒茶: you don’t just pluck tea and plunk it into hot water. You have to “cook” it, or ferment it, or whatever, depending on what kind of tea you’re working with. This is an art of incredible complexity and subtlety. If Taiwan had fallen to the PRC, this would have been lost, and the world would be a much sadder place.
aside: I am one of those people who can go on and on about what makes a good tea cup, not to mention pot, and don’t even get me started about how to pour. But you should hear a 炒茶師傅 master on cooking tea leaves! “So when I went into the cooking room, the sun had been up for 45 minutes, but the humidity in the room was a few degrees off what I wanted. I had to consider that the sun would be hitting the roof in another half hour, so I examined the humidity in the pans I was going to put the tea leaves in…..”

Who would win, Itachi Uchiha vs Tobirama Senju? | Im sorry but for numerous reasons I would consider Tobirama to be slightly more intelligent than Itachi, definitely more experienced and stronger
(NO EDO TENSEI ITACHI DOES NOT COUNT)
He started all political and social governance in Konoha,
academypolice forcechunin examsAnbu black ops
created more jutsu than any other character besides potentially Orochimaru; including numerous jutsu specifically made to counter Uchiha & Sharingan and Killed Izuna Uchiha who was cannon stated as being AS strong as MADARA.
and he could use all 5 nature types
Shadow Clonewater dragon (was able to use with one hand sign)ReanimationFTG (direct counter to sharingan & magekyo)tandem paper bomb (used by konan)
By touching the ground with his finger, he could accurately detect the presence and location of targets in the surrounding area. He could also sense persons countries away, identify a target's ancestry from their chakra signature, and even pinpoint a target's exact location while blinded.
he was able to perfectly counter numerous attacks by Juubi Madara, Juubito, and Tailed Beasts.
tobirama is also faster, has higher chakra reserves, more battle experience, is stronger (itachi was ill)
i love itachi
but tobirama is a perfect counter to Uchiha.

What is cosmetic dentistry and how is it different from general dentistry? | Generally, the needs of people change from one person to another. This is more certain to an oral cavity, where demands varies widely which is purely relies on sufferers ailments. Commonly, people assume dentistry is only to correct an oral cavity that consists of tooth replacement, surgery, etc. Apart from these several types of dental methodologies are emerged in recent days with its unique purpose.

Is organ similar enough to piano where a piano player that doesn’t know organ can just switch over to organ and it would be easy? | When I was a teen there was a very good music show on TV called DOC where the best artists from Italy and all over the world played live. I don’t know who the musician was, but I am sure it was someone from the US. Anyhow he was an organist, but was given a piano to play. Now, piano and organ work quite differently. When you press on a piano key there is a felt hammer-thingie that beats on the cord, and it goes “Blong!”: one sharp sound that does not repeat unless you hit the key again. An organ instead produces a continous sound, so you press a key there is either air blowing through tubes or the sound is produced through electronic devices. Then you hit the key and it goes “Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummm…”, and the sound actually continues until the player lifts the finger. Now, this organist played the right notes, but he was used to hitting a key and obtaining the “Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummms…”, instead he got individual short-lived “Blongs!” The sound was really odd, and kind of “empty” because the individual notes were not connected.
A pianist has a headstart to play organ, and an organist has a headstart playing piano, but the techniques between the two instrument are so different that even a non-musician like me could hear something was very off.
And let’s discuss the fact that the piano has one long keyboard and three pedals that add effects to the playing.
The organ instead has several short keyboards (and the two hands may play a different keyboard each), a pedalbord that is essentially another keyboard played with the feet, a couple extra pedals, plus a number of knobs and switches that essentially act as modifiers for the sound.
In my mind, an organist is more like a drummer that has to do different things with each limb rather than a pianist.

Will Node.js replace many backend technologies? | Nope.
Assuming it's not just familiarity, the main reason why people consciously and explicitly choose a platform is because they need access to some library or framework that's only available on that platform. This holds especially true when changing the language for some existing project.
By “platform” here I'm thinking things like Node.js,or Microsoft's CLR, or the java virtual machine. A platform is a combination of runtime environment and framework that potentially supports multiple languages with relatively simple inter-operation.
It doesn't even matter if the platform is otherwise a poor choice based on other metrics. Just consider python, people use it for deep learning and complex modelling tasks, although an interpreted language with a global interpreter lock is objectively a truly awful choice here. They do so because of numpy, scipy, and tensorflow (all three of which are, amusingly, written in C/C++ because Python is such a terrible choice)
You see the pattern elsewhere, it's libraries and frameworks that choose platforms/languages based on both features and adoption (e.g. ReasonML would be a great choice for many tasks, but who would use your library?). Things like numpy split the difference by writing in one and implementing for another. Spark's use of Scala is another good example here. Apps then choose for the libraries.
The problem with node is that it's a poor choice for implementing many libraries. It has a sweet spot for network “glue” code, but doesn't cope at all well for more complex tasks especially when processing large volumes of data - I wouldn't, for example, implement a database or do image manipulation on node if I cared about performance. As best I can tell, its main advantage is being able to run javascript, which offers familiarity to developers coming from front-end work.

What is the biggest problem with the modern education system? | Okay, I've noticed this across school curriculums in India and US.
Till class 8th (In ICSE IGCSE AND IB BOARDS)
And 10th (IN CBSE and various Indian state boards),
You have certain compulsory subjects (after 8th and 10th grade you get to select ur academic subjects and streams…)
They loosely include subjects from all these 4 groups…
Language(s): Includes English (and also other languages, in case of India)SciencesSocial Studies/ History/GeographyMaths
Mostly, you can choose electives along with that (choir, band, theatre, various sports, etc)
Now the question is, in all these countries like India, China, Korea, USA, UK, Singapore, etc., Is Science an elective in middle school? Is History/Social studies? Is English or Chinese or Hindi? Is Maths?
No!!!
But the various sports are. Art is (in most schools)! Dance is ! Any social service club and drama is!
Dear teachers, every child DOES NOT want to be a doctor/engineer/ proffessor, etc
Jr school is enough to study all these subjects! “Extracurriculars” like PE and Health are no less important. Will you make Maths and History optional? NO YOU WON'T! But what about Gymnastics? CRICKET? BASEBALL?

It was ghastly.

Why is the microwave oven harmful to food? | Because microwave cooking times are shorter, it doesn't mean it's actually safe at all !! Haha, don't worry we're gonna discuss this topic in this article !! 🤓
Yes we use microwaves on a high priority, or medium you can say, like we use it most of the times, whenever we need to heat the food, right ?
Actually what happens is, some nutrients break down under heat, especially vitamin C.
So the question which arises in mind, would be, "Is microwave oven is really safe for heating purpose and for cooking food??", the answer would be as simple, In some respects, yes !! and in some, it's not !!
The best cooking method, according to all of us, would be one which takes shortest time, which prepares quickly and which uses a little liquid to cook the food, right ?
So, now the question which arises, would be, “Is the microwave oven good or bad?” The microwave is a marvel of engineering, a miracle of convenience and sometimes nutritionally advantageous to boot.
Keep in mind that light is also electromagnetic radiation, so clearly not all radiation is bad.
Microwave ovens have metal shields and metal screens over the window that prevent the radiation from leaving the oven, so there shouldn’t be any risk of harm.
See, every form of cooking reduces the nutrient value of food.
According to two reviews, microwaving does not reduce nutrient value more than other cooking methods
An older study on 20 different vegetables noted that microwaving and baking preserved antioxidants the best, while pressure cooking and boiling did the worst !!
However, a recent study showed that mild microwaving actually increased the levels of the anticarcinogenic compound sulforaphane in broccoli.
With a few exceptions, microwaves tend to preserve nutrients very well.
One advantage of microwaving is that the food doesn’t heat up nearly as much as it does with other cooking methods, such as frying.
Usually, the temperature doesn’t surpass 212°F (100°C) — the boiling point of water.
However, fatty foods like bacon can become hotter.
Bacon is one food believed to form harmful compounds called nitrosamines when cooked. These compounds are created when nitrites in foods are heated excessively.
Microwave oven radiation doesn’t cause cancer, and there has been no conclusive evidence linking the two. Microwave radiation doesn’t make your food radioactive either. It’s just heating your food.
Microwaves, in addition to radio waves and visible light, are all non-ionizing radiation. The only non-ionizing radiation that causes cancer is UV light. So overall, microwave ovens are safe to use and will not cause cancer or any other adverse health conditions.
Note : If you’re worried about your microwave leaking radiation or being too old, you can replace it with a newer one. Microwave ovens typically last about ten years, so if you’ve had yours longer, it might be time to upgrade. If you have an older microwave you want to hold on to, it might be best not to remain in the same room while it’s cooking. This is just to protect you from any potential radiation leakage.

I'm afraid and shy to talk to beautiful girls, what are some tips and cheats to overcome it? | The Shy Guy Solution to Attract Beautiful Women
3 EASY Ways To Eliminate Anxiety With Women
So you are shy around women, huh?
If you’re reading this article, I assume you’re most likely “an introvert”.
What does being an “introvert” mean?
(It’s not what you think.)
Being an “introvert” does NOT mean you like to spend most of your time sitting alone at home, reading books all day long.
If you’re an “introvert,” you are often consumed with your own thoughts and feelings...
… instead of external things.
In other words, you are always “stuck in your head”.
You often spend time analyzing a situation… particularly social ones.
And let me go one step further.
You are an “introvert” if your idea of sitting back and chilling means spending time away from others.
“Extroverts,” on the other hand, are the opposites.
They love spending their free time with others.
They recharge their batteries when they’re with others.
The idea of being alone sounds just tiring and boring to them.
Makes sense?
Let me share “a secret” that nobody else will ever tell you…
“Introversion” and “extroversion” are the by-product of your self-image.
Or, how you view yourself as a person.
They are labels that classify you as being one person — and not others.
Here’s the kicker: Everybody has both the “extroverted” AND “introverted” side of themselves.
Everyone is capable of being outgoing and social in one situation... and shy and withdrawn in another.
Just view introversion and extroversion as being different muscle groups of your body…
… the more you go out and socialize, the more outgoing and social you become.
On the other hand, the less you go out, the less social you become.
So, if you want to become more outgoing and social, then you’ve got to go out more and practice being social.
It’s also important to point out one more important thing… your “shyness” (or introversion) is NOT the real problem.
The real problem is…
You have “social anxiety” and you don’t know you have it, or how to overcome it.
So, in this post, I’m going to reveal to you 3 simple exercises that you can start applying in social situations.
These exercises do NOT require you to change ‘who you are’ as a person.
You only need to learn how to control your emotions under social pressure.
These 3 exercises will instantly put you into “an amazing emotional state”.
Emotions are infectious.
And when you start making all these new habits a part of your life, then you’ll start to notice a lot of people being attracted to you.
And then your anxiety will vanish… forever.
So let’s dive right into it.
Shy Guy Solution #1: “Being aware of your 3 things”
This is the secret of boosting your self-esteem… and start becoming that attractive guy from inside out… always knowing the 3 things that excite you.
Where your focus goes, your energy flows.
Next time you’re in a social situation, talking to a beautiful girl you like, and you catch beating yourself about how “shy” you are, or how bad you are feeling…
… I want you to ask yourself THIS: “What are the 3 quick ways I can re-frame this negative experience into a positive experience?”
For instance, if you are driving back home after a really important job interview and you think you failed.
Step #1: Notice that you are actually thinking about something negative… and that is it killing your mood.
Step #2: Immediately think about 3 things that you can be “grateful” for…. or you are “excited” about at that moment.
For example, you choose to focus on something “positive” (the day is warm and sunny and the sky is blue outside).
Or, that you’ll NEVER have to think about the interview ever again.
Or, you finally have some free time to spend with your close buddies.
Change your focus, change your life.
You can do the same with your conversation with women…
If a girl said something “rude” and you took it negatively (for example, she said you are “not my type” or “too nice”)... rather than storming off from the scene feeling all negative about the comment...
… immediately “re-frame” this situation as being something positive (she is trying to flirt with you).
Do this by coming up with 3 reasons (in your own mind) that she is clearly interested in you.
Here are a few examples of things you can say to yourself…
“She is never going to impress me with that kind of attitude”“Is that the best pickup line she could come up with?”“If that’s her way of saying she wants to be ‘bad’ with me, then well, I might give it a try.”
Now, I know, I know, doing this exercise won’t be easy at first.
Especially if you are feeling all negative and down.
But if you make a commitment to change what you focus on (something positive) in each moment…
... then this piece of advice is all you need to make a dramatic improvement into your life.
Shy Guy Solution #2: “Change your body language.”
Any time you are in a social situation and you start to feel anxious, know that the main reason behind that is the result of your body language or posture.
You are most likely holding your glass closer to your chest…Your knees are locked together, and your feet aren’t moving a lot…Your elbows are likely closing your body.
And once you know what your body language is like, then the FIX is pretty simple…
Correct your posture and body language that are responsible for making you feel shy and anxious.
You see, your mind and body are connected very closely.
As a result, your mood can be a reflection of your body language.
Just picture a guy who looks all depressed.
How would he look?
His shoulders are slumped.His chin is probably down.He is probably walking around with that mopey look on his face.
Now just imagine someone who is feeling really awesome, and is the life of the party.
What do you think he looks like?
His shoulders are back and relaxed.He is standing tall with his chest puffed out.His eyes are looking straight ahead.He has a smile on his face.He looks happy.
By now, you probably have a good idea of what a good body language looks like.
So next time you find yourself feeling all down and bad...
… just bring your focus back to your body and correct it instantly.
Rule to abide by: Tall and open is better, small and closed off is bad.
For example, if you are holding your drinks near your chest, and your elbows are by your side…
… simply place down your drink by your side, and puff out your chest a little bit.
Or, you are sitting down on a chair looking down, immediately stand up and look straight ahead with a huge smile on your face.
You are doing this exercise to FIX your poor posture and body language that is causing you to feel anxious and nervous.
It’s that simple.
(And if you want to learn more ways on how to improve your posture and body language, then I highly recommend clicking the link in [LINKED_TEXT: my profile] [URL: https://www.quora.com/profile/Abishek-Rana-14].)
Shy Guys Solution #3: “Take cold showers”
Okay, maybe you don’t have any self-esteem issues.
In that case, the only thing that may be stopping you from having a great time socializing with the ladies is your anxiety and fear of overwhelming social situations.
And if you have “approach anxiety” (can’t approach beautiful women), or tend to hesitate to approach girls in social situations, then you’ll absolutely love THIS TACTIC.
Start taking COLD showers daily.
Nothing will benefit you more to stay calm, cool, and relaxed under pressure than a cold shower.
Imagine: You turn on the shower, and the ice-cold drops of water start hitting your skin, almost feeling like needles piercing on your skin, before you actually enter it.
Now think about that anxious feeling of nervousness and hesitation.
Everything inside of you is trying to stop you from jumping right under that cold running water…
This feeling right here is the exact feeling that most “shy” (introverted) guys feel before approaching a girl they like.
The fear.
The anxiety.
The hesitation.
But by training yourself to jump right into that cold shower and stay relaxed and calm in the tension of that cold drops of water hitting on your skin like needles…
… you are actually training yourself to crush your social anxiety.
Here’s the good news: Every time you do this, it becomes easier and easier.
And just like with everything else in the world you practice daily, slowly but surely your weakness starts to become your strength.
By taking a cold shower every day, you are training yourself to become more relaxed, confident, and calm around beautiful women and different social situations.
Just make sure to practice staying calm, cool, and collected when that icy cold water starts hitting down your skin.
Do this every day and you’ll eventually start to notice you becoming a master at controlling your “emotional state”.
I want you to give that gift to yourself.
I want you to begin using all these 3 simple tips into your life… starting today.
And I’ll promise that other “introverted” dudes will start looking up to YOU as the guys who are social, outgoing, and extremely confident with women.
Stay chilled,
Joe

What happens if an actor in a television series gets injured? | We all know that the episodes of tv series are recorded weeks before their actual air date. So in case of any injury or fatality these episodes go on for a while.
Now what happens once these prerecorded episodes are aired and the actor's injury still persists??
Either the actor's injury is given to his/her character or the actor is given a few days off to rest and heal meanwhile his/her character disappears from the upcoming episodes or in rare inevitable cases the filming is delayed.
Matt's character on Friends, Joey, wasn't intended to have an injury story line. But, after Matt dislocated his shoulder while filming the show, a scene featuring Joey jumping on, and subsequently falling off of, a bed was added in.
Similarly, Lisa Kudrow's character on Friends, Phoebe, got pregnant and gave birth to triplets when Lisa got pregnant in real life.
Iron Man 3 (2013). Robert Downey, Jr. Injured his ankle while performing a stunt in Wilmingto delaying filming for a month and a half.
Fast & Furious 6 (2013). Paul Walker sustained a torn ACL while performing a stunt, requiring surgery while the production team filmed around his scenes until his recovery.
So, it all depends upon the extent of injury. There are a lot of other examples supporting the fact.

Did Darth Sidious respect General Grievous and his abilities? | Sidious used Grievous as pawn in his grand plan, but I still suspect that Palpatine respected Grievous's abilities as both a general and a Jedi killer. Only Vader killed more Jedi than Grievous, and it's even more impressive that he's not a force user.

Why are western countries including the United States publicly stating what military equipment they are sending to Ukraine? Whatever happened to keeping the enemy in the dark of your plans? Is it just politics, hubris or stupidity? | I think Russian surveillance of incoming shipments will be stepped up. A large amount of supplies and heavy equipment can not be hidden from ground informants and satellite systems.
Small arms and Javelin style weapons can be smuggled through but train loads or truckloads can not be slipped through.
All roads and rail lines will be targeted and kept destroyed with well-targeted missiles.
Ukraine will still get some supplies that make it through but most will be lost I think.

Are there any 9mm revolvers that have a capacity of 10 or more rounds? | I don’t think any in 9mm. There are a few 10 round cylinders for 22 Mag. If you need the extra two rounds, and are proficient, the .22 mag may work for you, especially if you choose one of the longer barrels.
Otherwise, you will need to get a semi pistol, and not a revolver. Some of those will hold almost double the amount.

What is it like raising a very high IQ child? | It was very difficult to raise me.

How do I talk like a native English speaker? | The best way to improve your spoken English is to listen to native speakers as much as possible. You can listen to the radio, as nowadays with digital radio you can hear English radio stations anywhere. Also with digital tv, you can hear English programmes anywhere, but bear in mind you might be listening to American English, which has quite a lot of differences to British English.

Would living on the ceiling of a mined out area inside a fast rotating asteroid be more feasible than fully constructing a space colony station? | Not really.
The problem with spinning up an asteroid is that you really don't have to get it moving too fast before the centrifugal force you're creating is greater than the gravitational binding energy that actually holds the whole thing together. And since there isn't an asteroid out there with surface gravity even close to the 1G we evolved to live in before we mined it out, it's pretty much a forgone conclusion that we'd disintegrate any asteroid we tried this with unless we used some of the metal we got to build a reinforcing structure throughout the entire thing.
In other words, you'd still need to build the space station. You'd just have to build it in the shape of an irregular hunk of rock. Seems to me you'd be better off just ditching the asteroid entirely and going with a shape that was easier to fabricate.

If you could go back and change one event in history, what would it be? | Change the outcome of the verdict of the 1886 Supreme Court case called
Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific
the first corporate rights case before the Supreme Court,
U.S. corporations have sought many of the same rights guaranteed to individuals, including the rights to own property, enter into contracts, and to sue and be sued just like individuals.
Until then, only We the People were protected by the Bill of Rights, and the governments the people elected could regulate corporations as they wished. But with personhood, corporations steadily gained ways to weaken government restraints on their behavior—and on their growth. After steady progress over the decades, they made huge strides in the 1970s through Supreme Court rulings that awarded them Fourth Amendment safeguards against warrantless regulatory searches,
Fifth Amendment double jeopardy protection.
Sixth Amendment right to trial by jury.
These blunted the impact of the Clean Air Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act, and the Consumer Product Safety Act, which were enacted to protect workers, consumers, and the environment.
They also won court battles that awarded them First Amendment guarantees of political speech, commercial speech, and the negative free speech right not to be associated with the speech of others.
On the surface, when the big corporations and We the People have the same rights, they are equal, and the playing field is level. But disparities of scale tip the field toward the corporations at a steep pitch. If a nation-sized corporation with its huge treasury and squadrons of lawyers wants to exercise its free speech rights in a shouting match with a citizen who is exercising her or his free speech rights, can this be a fair fight?
“Corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”

How do countries who encounter earthquakes predict when an earthquake will occur and what process are taken to prevent it to make a very less damage when it occurs? | They can’t be predicted by time or location.

A hardcore powerlifting gym? 20-30%

Why did Dr B.R. Ambedkar hate Hinduism? | B.R.Ambedkar was born on 14 th April in the year of 1891 and also known as Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar .He was the 14th son of his parents and lived in the city of Madhya Pradesh.
He was an Indian nationalist,dalit,jurist, social reformer, historian, anthropologist, economist,Politician, activist, prolific writer, revolutionist and revivalist of Buddhism.
He used to belong from lower sections of the society and called as “Dalit or Untouchable”.
Previously caste system played a vital and major role that used to determine an individual's occupation and standard of living.
According to the caste hierarchy ,Hindus used to hold highest position with lots of power and authority in primordial society.
They used to humilate ,torture and dominate the lower caste's people i,e Dalits or Untouchables.
They used to create many societal prejudices to hold their power and position long lasting.
They used to spread atrocities and wickedness to create decline in their caste system.
Dalits or Untouchables were ignored and deprived from every privileges and opportunities of life.
But B.R.Ambedkar fought restlessly to create upliftment for the lower sections of the society.
According to him “ liberty,equality and fraternity”would be the ultimatum for human ‘s life.
All human beings would be treated and admired equally.
He took lots of initiative and effort to create glory and prosperity for Dalits .
He played an important role of creating welfare for the lower strata of society and highlighted their existence and attribution in our society.
He had opposed Hindu's idealogy and formulate equality for everyone .
He was mainly the supporter and follower of Buddhist ideas and theories .It mainly involves connection between man and god into purity and salvation.

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | I have several colleagues with touch-screen Windows PCs. I've asked them about it and what they use it for, and the answer always has been that they don't use it at all.

Why haven't the Las Vegas casinos been completely destroyed by mathematicians? | Because when it comes to casinos, the house always wins! Always!
No matter what.
Even if you are the guy that says:
“I don’t always gamble. But when I do I always win”.
Even though the house has to give back technically about 95% of the total amount bet. But that 5% makes billions of dollars for the casino.
For example, in a game of roulette, the most you’ll earn from wagering on a single number is 36:1, this is in spite of the fact that a roulette wheel has either a zero or double zero (depending on the variation you’re playing) in addition to the 36 numbers.
This means that the true odds for the game are either 37:1 or 38:1(again depending on whether you’re playing European or American Roulette), not the 36:1 you’re getting paid out for your winning bet.
Using our roulette example above, on a game of American Roulette (where the wheel has the added double zero), the house edge is 5.26%. That means that for every $/€/£1 million wagered at the table, the casino will make a profit of just over $/€/£50,000 and $950,000 of the wagers are returned to the players. As you can see, it’s not an unreasonable profit and the casino doesn’t aim to bankrupt players, it just means that over the long term they pay for their entertainment and leave the casino with a profit.
On games with low house advantages like blackjack, the casino may only make 1 to 2 percent profit (or less) when facing strategy players but on other games the percentage can be upward of 25%.
The bottom line is, doesn’t matter if you are an ‘A’ Mathematician or a pro straight out of 007 movie, the Casino Always Wins!

What high protein Indian vegetarian food sources are available for people that go to the gym and want to bulk up while also losing fat? | The craving for tasty food comes naturally and more often than not this food is not nutritious, thus failing to contribute to the upkeep of the body. There is good news though. There are many types of high protein low calorie foods that will help you feel full and might as well satiate your taste buds. Therefore, an individual aspiring to shed extra flab by eating healthy food that is low on carbohydrates must consider protein-rich, low-calorie foods. These foods are important as they bestow numerous benefits.
Importance of High Protein Low Calorie Foods
Medical research suggests that an individual should consume between 10 percent and 35 percent of their calorie requirement through various sources of proteins. This can be best achieved if one includes low calorie and high protein foods in the daily diet.
Of the total 22 essential amino acids, only 13 can be produced by the body. The remaining 9 are obtained through a high protein diet. Made up of amino acids, protein performs various key functions. These include:
1. Tissue Building and Preservation
First and foremost, they are important for the growth and preservation of tissues. Normally, the human body builds the same amount of proteins as it breaks down while building or repairing the tissues. However, under certain conditions such as illness, pregnancy, injury, or surgery, the process of building protein naturally does not keep pace with the intensity with which it is broken down. Athletes as well as elderly require a larger intake of protein to maintain an equilibrium inside the body.
2. Assisting in Body Functions
Protein aids in numerous body functions such as digestion and the production of energy. It also helps thwart the contraction of muscles. In addition to assisting in these biochemical reactions, protein also serves as a messenger and enables communication between various tissues and organs. Protein is also known to provide structure and strength to the body.
3. Maintaining Acidic and Basic Levels
Protein plays a pivotal role in regulating various body fluids and maintaining pH levels.
4. Strengthening Immunity
Protein bolsters the immunity system, builds antibodies, and helps the body thwart various viruses and bacteria.
5. Helping Transport Other Nutrients
Protein not only stores but also transports various other nutrients such as vitamins, sugar, and oxygen to various parts of the body. Each distinct type of protein carries a certain type of nutrient. So, the protein that carries glucose will be different from the protein that carries vitamins.
6. Maintaining Blood Pressure
Protein intake has been clinically associated with blood pressure levels. Higher protein intake improves heart rate and lowers the risk of strokes. Moreover, proteins have the efficacy of reducing the bad cholesterol in the body.
Which are Low Calorie High Protein Foods for Vegetarians?
Listed below are a number of protein rich low calorie foods that vegetarians would love to have:
1. Milk
As children, we were always encouraged as well as forced to drink milk. It is not only rich in proteins but is also rich in calcium which helps in bone building and strengthening. It is advisable to avoid high-fat milk to ward off extra fat. Skimmed milk is a good option as it has all the ingredients of high protein low calorie foods. 100 grams of milk would provide 3.4 grams of protein.
2. Paneer (Cottage Cheese)
One of the best and most nutritious protein rich low calorie foods is paneer. You will get 11 grams of protein by ingesting 100 grams of paneer. While one may eat raw paneer to derive the benefit, serving it in the form of dishes is also a great idea.
3. Spinach
The leafy green vegetable can augment your protein intake by 2.9 grams per 100g of intake. This is one of the most important low calorie high protein foods for vegetarians and contains all essential amino acids and thus is a great way to boost health. The presence of Vitamin A, Vitamin K, and Vitamin C bolsters the immunity system, protects vision, and improves blood flow in the body.
4. Peas
An old adage states that good things come in small packages. It holds water for the petite peas that are loaded with not only proteins but also vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. In addition to having peas in the regular meal with potato or dry paneer, they can be added in pasta or soup.
5. Sweet Corn
Nothing can be farther away from the truth than stating that sweet corn is not healthy. Akin to the small-sized pea, the sweet corn is a low calorie high protein food for vegetarians. It is a great source of fiber as well. A cup full of sweet corn can have a benevolent impact on health.
6. Curd
Curd is amongst the most reliable dairy-based low calorie high protein foods. 100 grams of curd provides 11gram of protein. Eaten as standalone or mixed with water to make lassi, curd has an extremely refreshing effect, especially during the summer season.
7. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a veggie delight. Extremely low on calories (22 per 100 gram), mushrooms provide 3.1 grams of protein. A type of fungus, they make for a great addition in sandwiches and soups. Mushrooms can also be enjoyed as a full-fledged meal along with chapati.
8. Kidney Beans (Rajma)
Kidney beans are yet another household favorite. Not only is it delicious but is also replete with proteins and fiber. Kidney beans come with a high level of carbohydrates too. Eaten with steamed rice or chapati, they make for a wholesome and sumptuous meal.
High Protein Low Calorie Foods for Non-Vegetarians
Here’s a list of non-vegetarian food items that will be great for your low calorie high protein diet:
1. Egg
Touted as one of the most economical low calorie and high protein foods, the egg is a must-have in the daily diet, albeit for non-vegetarians only. They can be included in the diet in many interesting ways such as egg soup, egg cups, and egg muffins.
2. Seafood
Seafood is counted amongst great high protein low calorie foods. Fish are generally low on fat and are a rich source of proteins. Salmon is especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is thus very good for the human heart.
3. Meat
Meat-based items such as chicken breasts and turkey breasts also fall under the category of protein rich low calorie foods. In general, white meat poultry is better vis-à-vis dark meat as the latter is high in fat content. Peeling off the skin before ingesting meat-based products adds to their effectiveness as the saturated fat gets removed.
A Word of Caution
One should not go overboard when it comes to high protein low calorie foods. People with underlying medical conditions of the kidney and liver should be extra cautious. Likewise, individuals with lactose intolerance would be better off if they avoid dairy-based products for protein requirements. The advice and recommendation of the physician must be sought by such individuals.
Conclusion
An individual can, without much ado, increase the protein intake by choosing the right kind of high protein low calorie foods. This simple decision can have a desirable impact as it will help the individual maintain healthy body weight and increase overall endurance in the long run.

What are some examples of arguments against the existence of an afterlife? | Firstly, it can be demonstrated that consciousness is strongly rooted in the brain. So, existence of souls that can have an afterlife doesn't sound plausible.
Secondly, even if I suppose, just for the sake of argument, that souls exist and that there is an afterlife, I still have no idea what it would be like. Different people want me to believe different versions of what afterlife is like. Which version should I trust? And why? So, even if I do entertain the notion of an afterlife, it is still pointless to worry about it as I don't know what it would be like.

US is threatening to downgrade ties with India over its planned purchase of S400 missiles from Russia. Do you think India will back down from the purchase? | Nope India will certainly not back down. No chance at all.
Last year I have mentioned in some of my answers on how the S-400 is a real game-changer
[LINKED_TEXT: [1]] [URL: #ATbkl] for the Indian arsenal, alongside several other weapon systems inducted or to be inducted in the recent years. S-400s have become a rockstar in the field of anti-aircraft and anti-missile technology in recent years, enough to earn Russia several buyers over the world. Now the other part of this arms market is, that there is USA, who has an anti-missile system called THAAD , which can shoot down ballistic missiles but not aircrafts. A big downside I must say.
Unless the advisors to Defence Ministry are rabid Russia-haters or those bribed heavily by Lockheed Martin, there is zero chance of them actually siding with the THAAD system, because come on, why not buy something that does two tasks at same time
[LINKED_TEXT: [2]] [URL: #TWxeu] ?This isn’t the first time USA has threatened sanctions on India, in fact India lived through sanctions when a man called Atal Bihari Vajpayee (the political senior of the man on left who is right now India’s PM) aided in detonating nuclear warheads. Bill Clinton (the fellow with whom we had the worst-ever US-India relationship) back then issued some of those typical sanctions which we gleefully lived through and we didn’t end up dead at that time. Situation now for India is far better than that I will say.
The simplest problem that USA has these days, that in it’s quest for “America First” policy it has decided to turn everything into a fistfight, even matters from international relations to trade. India with S-400 and China with Huawei are the latest addition to the long list of USA’s topics to cry about.
Unless one fails to do simple reasoning, they will realize that S-400s are these days being considered by likes of Turkey, which it in itself not just a NATO ally but has bases which house American fighters. America needs to do some serious soul-searching when NATO members themselves aren’t showing that level of interest for THAADs as they are showing for S-400s.
Legit, right?
Now if USA thinks that India buying S-400s is like us leaving USA and going back to Russia, then I guess they need to see those howitzer cannons, Apache helicopters and Chinooks that we bought from USA until very recently.
To USA, just one simple advice-
Someone who simply refuses to buy something from you because there is a far superior item in the market made by another of their friends with whom you decide to have enmity despite not even sharing a border doesn’t make us a part of an anti-USA nexus. We prefer to buy what is best suited for us, not because of some fascination of American brands.

What are the common mistakes students do while preparing for GATE? | 1.Blindly following a specific pattern while answering the paper..like always aptitude part first etc
Many people who had this habit of attempting aptitude first (irrespective of difficulty level of paper) have wasted their initial valuable time and got nervous in GATE 17 as the apti questions were very lengthy and tough compared to previous years..
So decide how to attempt the paper then and there after going through the paper..
2. Planning to give test series only after becoming 100% confident in that particular syllabus..
Believe me..it can never be 100% .Also it need not be 100%..Just attempt the tests as soon as you are good at with the basics..
3. Getting emotionally attached with some particular subjects and spending too much time on them..
Those subjects may be your favourites but keep in mind that all the subjects are important to help you secure a decent rank..
4. Reading too many books for each subject..
It has been proven that reading 1 standard book 10 times is better than reading 10 different books once each…Also more number of books will kill your revision time..
5. Spending too much time on certain highly complex questions that are unlikely to appear in GATE..
Don't even bother if you are not able to solve such questions especially in the test series..Just look at the previous gate questions from that particular topic and try to analyse their level of difficulty..practice more or less at the same level…
6. Failing to maintain a balance between speed and accuracy..
Attempting more number of tests is the only way to get both..
7. Lack of revision at regular intervals..
This is the biggest mistake that can differentiate toppers from the rest..
Finally, as said by one of our professors, for any competitive exam it is more important to know what NOT To Study first rather than knowing what to study, in order to save your precious time !!!
All the Best…cheers!!

What do you think about the new Marvel comics characters Safespace, Snowflake, Trailblazer, B Negative and Screentime from “The New Warriors?” | What do I think? Marvel Comics just played their hand and showed everyone they’re on the Sears/KMart route of intentional self-destruction.
The fact that they named two of their characters “Safespace” and “Snowflake” shows you how aware they are of their own awefulness and that they give zero shits about the fanbase.
Screentime a guy obsessed with memes that got his powers from…an internet fart? The concept itself is cringeworthy. The very nature of this character will be impossible to keep socially/culturally relevant because memes go stale so quickly.
Next is Trailblazer a literal ripoff of Dora the Explorer. Instead of Mexican she’s Native. Oh, and she’s obese…because reasons. Instead of a magical backpack, she has a magical backpack. Hopefully Nickelodeon sues this comic into oblivion for copyright infringement.
Finally, B Negative. A name as bad as Snowflake and Safespace. But more emo and less inspired.

What does Galatians 2:21 mean? | Gal 2:21 “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Righteousness through the law is performance based righteousness. It’s contingent upon keeping everything in the law of moses.
Gal 3:10–12 “All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them."
God, in his grace, however provided a different way of becoming righteous.
Rom 3:20–24 “No one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

How do I get my neighbor to accept the survey staking of our shared property line that is in dispute? He won’t trust it because I paid for it and he thinks the surveyors are wrong. | Surveyors are licensed and improper, intentional, surveys would cost them their business.

Why do dogs pant and hang their tongues out such a lot when wolves (and most animals) do not? Is it a trait that somehow selected for during domestication? | The reason is wolves live in colder environments so the don't get as hot as dogs. However, wolves do pant just not seen a lot.

Do female users get harassed for the questions and answers they post on Quora? | Yup.

Why does the hand phaser in the Star Trek reboot switch from red to blue? | There is no Star Trek Reboots. There is just two timelines, the Prime Timeline and the JJ Abrams Kelvin Timeline movies due to the VIACOM Split at the time and as a result Paramount Studios lost the rights to make any new Star Trek movies unless they became a Licensee to CBS Studios and as a result they couldn’t play around in the Prime Timeline anymore so they had to create the Kelvin Timeline.

What is the best hotel you have ever stayed at, and why? | The best hotel I have ever stayed at is the Grand Hyatt in New York City.
The service was impeccable, and the rooms were luxurious and spacious.
The staff went out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable, from providing me with a complimentary upgrade to offering me late check-out without any extra charge.
On top of that, they had an amazing rooftop bar with stunning views of Manhattan skyline which made for a great evening experience!
All in all, it was one of the most memorable stays I've ever had - definitely worth every penny!

If I have a solid cat carrying point gene and I'll breed it to a solid one (non-carrier), will kittens still carry the point gene? | Given that it is a recessive gene, theoretically 25% of the kittens should carry it but there is no way to know if any of them will inherit a copy.

Just to feel the concept and to make that more practical, can we define 'potential difference' as 'charge difference (difference in amount of charges)'? | No be ause that would be compleytely wrong. Potential difference is the energy difference per unit charge.
When a charge of 1 Coulomb moves through a potential difference of 1 volt, 1 joule of energy is transferred.
! volt = 1 joule per coulomb - one of the most important facts in pre- university physics ( 16–18 year olds typically).
Unfortunately lower school physics (upto 16 ) tends to get pre-occupied with ohms law and people get taught the ‘voltage’ is a push/ a pressure. THis invites confusion later when the propper definition is required.

What facts about Mumbai would people not believe unless they come to Mumbai? | One of the day I remember :
I boarded the train to CST and wanted to get down in vikhroli (my office location). The platform for this station comes in left side, however, I was on right side of the compartment. The train was overcrowded in morning time due to peak hours. When I requested people to give space, helplessly, they couldn't. But when they came to know that I had to get down to reach my office with important deadline, they literally made way and few were trying to push me to reach near the door on left side.
This is I love about Mumbai. People are really helpful and they understand your needs and urgency at times which I hardly see in other places.
Cheers!

What are the benefits of recumbent exercise bikes? | A recumbent [LINKED_TEXT: exercise bike] [URL: https://10bestsells.com/the-10-best-exercise-bikes/] is a uniquely-shaped exercise bike that allows you to sit closer to the ground in a seat that is more comfortable than the standard or upright exercise bike.

Why do so many students in India study engineering? There seems to be a significantly larger portion of engineering students in India than in the US. Is the perception of engineering different? If so, why? | Many excellent answers below, here is how I think of this problem (it IS a problem) when I put on my career counsellor/coach hat as well as personal experience of living through the history pointed out by other responders (my parents worked in a Public Sector Unit and came from village, I availed all the facilities a PSU provides to its employees and family and lived the dream that my parents had for me).
As described by other answers, after Independence, Indian govt. focused on investing in heavy industries to bolster infrastructure and job market, which meant that the first wave of people who migrated from villages to find work (around independence, Indian population was overwhelmingly in villages) found job and life in these industries - in engineering and non-engineering jobs (operators, fitters, drivers, etc.). Given India's strong socialist tendencies back then, these heavy industries (Public Sector Units) provided for everything - free housing, free medical facilities, free schools, townships created for employees, a great lifestyle for people who were not used to that glitter of town. This created a large set of people who equated financial freedom and job glory with engineering jobs (either because they were one, or they aspired to be one having seen one at close quarters) and such jobs and lifestyles became role models for people. Obviously, they wanted the same life for their kids. This first set of migration happened for people born around Indian independence (1947), so 70s was when they found these jobs which were lifetime guarantees.
This has made Indian parents take a very algorithmic approach to selection of stream of study and career for their kids. Social pressure to conform to this algorithm is huge because everyone around these parents have seem similar definition of 'success'. and want to do the best for these kids.
Algorithm #1: Here is the algorithm applied when the kid is in Grade 10 and need to pick a stream of study for 11 and 12:
1. If the kid gets the best marks in the class, get him/her enrolled into science stream. If mediocre/low, get him/her commerce. If no such option, find an arts course (which is not available in many schools).
2. If science is picked, see if there is a way to get both biology and maths (so that both engineering and medical are open). If that is not possible, and the kid is a girl, try to get medical; if the kid is a boy, try to get engineering. This gets trumped if there is a doctor or an engineer in the family&friends - family&friends experience usually takes precedence.
Algorithm #2: Here is the algorithm for Class 12 students who need to pick a college:
1. Did you get a seat in engineering college? If so, get admission. Same goes for medical. Seat is usually obtained through entrance exam or through 'donation'. 2. If no engineering or medical entrance exam seat, check if you can get admission in one of the metro universities/colleges.
Now, 20 years back, when I graduated, #1 step in Algorithm #2 (Class 12) was very quickly exhausted since there were very few engineering and medical seats, and so most people had to go to step #2. About 10 years back, situation started changing, with tons of engineering colleges with dubious quality sprouting all over. Step #1 started being available for more and more people, and now the situation is such that absolutely no one needs to go to step #2 if they don't want to - there are enough engineering seats, and then some.
Of course, this algorithm didn't factor in the quality, because when this algorithm was created, it was assumed (correctly) that colleges are either good or better, never bad.
This has created a situation where everyone can be called an engineer. Some of these colleges are so bad that these students shouldn't be treated as an engineer, and the job market is doing exactly that - There is a large employability gap, IT services companies like Infosys are considering to get their work done through general graduates rather than engineering graduates.
However, I am hopeful things will change. 3 things are happening that will do course-correction, over next 10-15 years:
Generational transition - As the first generation of 'engineering generation' retire (most of them have), their world view (that the most important thing in career is stability and steady source of money - which made sense in their world) slowly goes out of vogue. The next generation (my generation - which got exposed to a globalized worlds thanks to liberalization and IT boom, and didn't have to live through as much hardship, scarcity and family responsibilities that our parents lived in) has other priorities in mind and hence slowly modifying this algorithm. The generation after that (which is now the set getting into engineering colleges) has a totally different view of the world (much less hardship, much more freedom of thought and expression, etc.) will have modified this algorithm quite a lot and create a more balanced algorithm. Death of Engineering Colleges - There will be backlash created due to stamping of so many people as engineers (without any engineering skills) and so many fraud institutions as engineering colleges (without any ability or intention to create engineers) - there will be no jobs for them, so demand will go down, which will force colleges to close which is already happening, though very slowly. New Success Stories - This algorithm got created because there was only one success narrative - become an engineer. Newer generation is getting exposed to new success stories - finance (investment banking), entrepreneurship, and new professions. As these get into mainstream, parents will become smarter about these options.

What's the most ridiculous thing a coworker told on you to your boss for? | Doing my job.
A few years ago, I worked on a packaging line for a drug company. After we finished a run of one batch, we had to clean the line before the next one could start.
At the bottom of one machine (near the floor), there was a pair of rollers covered by a safety shield to prevent injuries. The outside of the shield was covered in dust, and the stuff inside was, too.
I cleaned some dust off the outside before taking the guard off, and was immediately descended upon by a coworker and one boss, because I was (apparently) supposed to only clean the inside.
The next week, the boss asked me to… do exactly what I had been doing.

Why do some people like to stay in an abusive relationship? | It’s easy to tell someone who’s in an abusive relationship to leave. Being the person who has to leave is very difficult.
Note: While writing this, I saw that this is going to be a long one. If I do end up posting this, it’s more for me than it is for anyone else. If you have read this, I hope I was able to provide some insight as to why people stay in abusive relationships from my own personal story.
I was married from January 2014 to August 2016.
Dating and Marriage:I had met my ex while I was in South Korea teaching English. She was South Korean, born and raised in South Korea. And when we were dating, she was the perfect girlfriend. Caring, kind, supportive. I’ve had many relationships but I thought she was the one. When I wanted to return to the US as I didn’t want to teach anymore, I wanted her to be with me still. So, I proposed to which she said yes.
Decline:When we were dating in South Korea, we lived in a metropolitan city with many amenities and things to do. She was a city girl, through and through. Suburban life might as well have been rural life to her. She blamed me for taking her away from her country. Blame lead to resentment. Resentment lead to hate.Ultimately, we became toxic to each other.
Abuse:Emotional, mental, physical.
She called me weak, immature, stupid, etc. I wasn’t any of these things but I became these things. I second-guessed myself every time. I was afraid to make mistakes that I ended up making mistakes. Small mistakes like driving over the curb because I had turned a little bit too sharp was met with a barrage of insults. Being called stupid in public in front of people, my confidence was absolutely shot.
Alcohol was the cause of her physical abuse. I will remember all of our fights, she does not. She became a completely different person when she was drunk. Speech slurred, glossed eyes, randomly screaming, spitting on the carpet/on me, punching/kicking holes into the wall, punching/biting/kicking me. I would have to barricade her in our bedroom until she passed out which was always at 4am. Our first physical fight, she was deeply apologetic after as she saw the damage she did to our home and me. Our next four physical fights, she didn’t care at all and blamed it on the alcohol.
Rationalizing Abuse:NEVER could this happen to me. I can NEVER be stupid enough to be with someone who abuses me.
Until you are.
Every fight that you have, you start blaming yourself. Maybe you could’ve done something differently. Maybe you could’ve been more supportive. Just make sure she doesn’t drink anymore and you won’t have incidents like this.
I was defeated. My confidence at an all time low.
I couldn’t and didn’t want to tell this to my family and friends because it was embarrassing and shameful. I didn’t want them to worry.
Divorce:I remember this fight vividly. She doesn’t because she was completely wasted on alcohol. She wanted to leave our home in her completely intoxicated state with car keys in hand. I put myself between the door and her to prevent her from leaving. This lead to a fight which lead to her being arrested for domestic violence and me sent to the hospital. I still have scars from that fight.
This was the first time outside people were involved, including our families.Her parents in South Korea wanted her home immediately.
The divorce was quick and relatively smooth. We both knew it was done and she was desperate to go back to South Korea.
Aftermath:I was never diagnosed but I can say that what I felt afterwards was PTSD. Certain moments would trigger anxiety attacks which had me vocally screaming to forget.
I told my friends what happened but that I didn’t want to talk about it, that the best thing for me at the time was life as usual.
I had trust issues for a looong time. Even when I went back to dating, I would think… okay, this girl is kind now but she can also be violent as well.
Now:It has been five years since and a lot of it is water under the bridge. It took time and other methods to recover. My last triggering moment was when I saw the South Korean movie, Parasite. There was a scene in which one of the main actresses became drunk and belligerent.
Conclusion:I don’t have advice that you have not heard before. All I can say is that I know how being in an abusive relationship feels like and I hope that anyone who is in one is able to get out of it.

How did you end up in the San Francisco Bay Area? What's your story? | I ended up in SF two weeks before my 30th birthday. I'd visited it twice before and fell in love with everything about it.
I'd actually been on vacation during the big earthquake on October 17, 1989. The kindness and community was something to behold. No one was angry. Everyone wanted to help in any way they could.
Having spent the last 4 years in Queens county and working in Manhatten, I thought I'd landed in paradise. I moved here within 6 months.
This city is much different now. The advent of the techies, taking over the city and increasing the cost of living has led to a great exodus from this beautiful city.
I'd lucked into a flat that I can just afford on my now fixed income. It is my home. I am safe here. There is so much beauty and kindness here. I'm lucky to live by college students and their presence brings so much goodness and kindness here.
My son is home here and in no hurry to leave.
Mainly I moved here because I knew this city would save my life. And it has too many times to count.
I am proud, if not poorer, to call this my home.
