Sorry but this comment comes off as quite entitled. Not everyone has the option to pick up and move or get a job with astronically higher salary for their area...
At the same time if you get drunk, visit the roof of the empire state building and lean over the edge guess what? You’ll find you cant fall thanks to a tall safety fence.
Sure, your own residential roof is a different story, as is a dinghy.
The difference to me is the expectation of protection from obvious hazards in public and commercial spaces.
In addition to monitoring (a last ditch effort imo) it seems relatively trivial to install nets or fencing to prevent falls off cruise ships. Why that isn't alreay mandated given the statistics provided is beyond me.
Knowing which keys to press translates loosely into an understanding of theory (even at a very simple level)
Think of the piano keys (chromatic scale) as the alphabet, and theory as the language that makes words from it.
Tbh a little theory goes a long way. It’s all related and your understanding will build over time. You’ll start to see patterns.
Just start off learning how to play a simple song. Then, try to think about what key is this song in? What chords make up that key? What intervals am I playing? How would I transpose this song into a different key? Etc.
You can teach yourself, but a teacher or good course will accelerate the process.
Sorry but what on earth is this demo video blathering on about? half way through it's still setting the plot to some hypothetic bad day. Get to the point!
Getting used to the normal phases (and sounds) of flight was the biggest thing for me. For instance, once I realized it was normal to bank for a turn shortly after take off (and that the sensation was not us falling out of the sky) I stopped freaking out internally about it.
Strongly agree with all of these, especially no caffeine before or during a flight.
In addition a couple strong cocktails right before the flight goes a long way to help me relax during take off. That's when I tend to be the most anxious.
Also getting a couple big bottles of water at the airport and bringing them on the plane helps me stay hydrated/comfortable and forces me to stand up and stretch in order to get to the restroom a few times during the flight.
This seems useful in concept but $12/mo is more than I'm willing to pay for email.
It's also unclear to me if this is a browser based email client (using imap/smtp etc.) or if it comes with it's own email address and handles final delivery/storage.
So I tried entering the term "pasta" and nothing happened. At first I thought it was broken, but then I entered pizza and there were results. An action button and some status detail (# of results found, etc.) might help the UI.
I've stopped shopping at amazon, but the prime subscription I expected to expire annoyingly auto-renewed itself. There seems to be an (intentional?) lack of prime account management features. The only user facing options seem to be "cancel now" or "email me right before auto-renewal". I don't see a way to simply turn off automatic renewal.
On the other hand I think prime was a useful influence on other e-commence sites. Shipping times have become dramatically shorter in recent years.
So, thank you Amazon for forcing your competition to ship faster while allowing your own site to become overrun with fake reviews and crappy knock-off products!
What a good idea! I have a powered sit/stand desk but tend to only stand during meetings, which luckily (well, unlucky in this context) aren't very often. Going to give a drafting chair a try.
