From what I'm reading on Wikipedia it isn't equivalent to being able to memorize information. The skill is limited to being able to recall autobiographical details...so what you had for lunch in 1992 but not what you read in this CS textbook.

What is your definition of 'having a local presence'?

They're definitely addictions to some. Internet addiction is very real.

In which case, they aren't "the sort of mild addictions a lot of us have".

Poor soul had reached such of level of desperation that his digestion of self was like a duplicate object of industry. But as we may seem as copies of the same...we’re not. We are beings experiencing a reality through the scope of a subjective view. It’s all a matter of perspective.

Land value, which is a proxy for better infrastructure, has dramatically increased.

The cost of improvements on land has decreased.

Mostly yes, but it does depend on what you like. Hardwood floors, handmade brick (as opposed to the 9 variations that come out the factory), hardwood weatherboards and nice stonework are not in my price range. Labour used to be cheap and it’s the labour that makes a place somewhere I’d like to be.

That's also why a lot of that antique furniture is so nice, which the current stuff is crap.

That's exactly what would happen. In a university hospital setting it's the most experienced physician that takes on the most difficult cases.

Most often I've seen it in the form of jokes. You're in the final stretches of negotiating a deal with someone you consider a friend and they make some joke about how now they're going to stop showing up to work. Red flag. You might think "why would someone say something like that?" I was negotiating a deal where the other party was guaranteed 7.5MM over the next 5 years. They made the joke because they thought they already had me wrapped up in the deal. I walked away based on that joke alone. The logic is that at some level they're trying to prepare you for what you're in for. Everyone's armor has chinks. As the deal gets closer to being done you see the real person on the other side of the table.

Another red flag is if you put something in email and they call you to respond on the phone. I treat email almost entirely defensively now. It's simply a record of things I'm comfortable being read aloud in court and a memorialization of what was agreed to in conversation. If I'm not comfortable with it being read in court it's discussed on the phone or in person.

Either I'm your customer or you're my customer. All transactions with another business should be buy/sell.

This one is great; easier to understand than the often quoted one. I shall steal!

Organized crime still runs alcohol. Many mafiosos have come into cannabis from alcohol in the last two years. By alcohol I'm not only referring to the bottlers but also the distributors, bars, and night clubs.

Dropped out of medical school I'm my 4th year. I knew it wasn't for me and I took a big risk...but I knew I had to bet on myself.
