When I didn’t want to do my high-impact sport anymore, I switched to reffing some, and also moved to competing in lower- impact sports.
Last summer I joined a dragon boat racing club where our oldest teammates were 78 year old twins and the average age of the whole boat was about 60. “Too old” for sports doesn’t exist.
Do a web search for “mnemonic technique memory linking”. There’s a technique for just this sort of application.
The pay is more than I make in my current job starting on day 1. 100 days would be over 5 million dollars, enough to retire on. I can devote 8 hours per day for 3.5 months for retirement level money memorizing a list of 100 words.
Are you in the US?
If so, it’s the Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Trump ofc tried to replace the commissioners who lead the Bureau. The courts stopped him, at least temporarily, TBH I’ve lost track of that one. And now he’s trying to use the Bureau to go after gender-affirming care. I assume it’s something transphobic like, since he believes transgenderism is made up, care to help a person transition would be “fraudulent”.
I think if they ever get good enough that a lot of people are wearing them, a lot of companies will put rules in place to keep employees from wearing them at work.
Restaurants, hotels, and other service industries don’t want their employees posting video of insane customers to their personal TikTok profiles. Any company with any sort of technical or financial or medical data won’t want employees to be able to take photos or video secretly.
I could see companies even attempting to ban them for customers. Like banks, airports, stadiums or other areas where large crowds of soft targets would gather. Schools to protect the security and privacy of children. It’s one thing to go in a record with a phone; that is visible and draws attention. Being able to record completely in secret will be unappetizing to many (except when the government does it, of course, no one must question our police).
I assume they’re fishing for data and active email accounts. If someone replies with a review, they know it’s an active, monitored email address and can sell it for a better price.
Block and delete.
Cam confirm. I (American) lived in NSW for a while and was way more outdoorsy than anyone I met there. I wasn’t expecting everyone to be Steve Irwin or Paul Logan, but c’mon. To the point that when there were snakes in the back yard or spiders in the kitchen, I took care of them.
My name is on some US patents. Out of anything, I expect those to have the best odds of surviving for 600 years. Of course no one will look them up in 600 years unless they have really niche interests.
It’s good you included your location.
In the US, opticians have to provide your script whether you ask for it or not.
I didn’t find something as official for Canada with a 5-second web search, but this Ontario College FAQ indicates Canada has something similar.
I was hired for a job some guy had been fired from several years earlier. There had been at least one other person in the position after him and before me. But for some reason he found out about me, decided I was a problem, and I had to get escorted to and from my car in the employee parking and the building each day for a couple of weeks until he lost interest.
And more pedestrian yet depressing, the stereotypical: I politely declined unwanted advances from a strange man in a bar, strange man promptly lost all emotional control and proved I made the right decision.
