I feel like 90% of any bookstore I've been to has been self help (and/or loony new age stuff), biographies of / stuff written by politicians, and military "history" books.
Most of the rest are young adult novels and smut with some guy's chest on the cover.
But in one run I didn’t at all become engaged with the world itself (which is very reasonable). Certainly not enough to give a fuck about trying to go out and learn about it for its own sake.
TBH, it sounds to me like you're just not a very curious person.
There are plenty of nonprofit organizations that have existed for more than 100 years.
In fact, I would say there's a better track record for such organizations than there has been for publicly traded capitalist enterprises, which tend to pop in and out of existence like bubbles by comparison. The only 'for profit' enterprises with comparable longevity are businesses that have have been owned by the same family for generations.
If you're talking about what I think you are then that actually didn't use neural networks (see the part where they add 'negative weight' to an image area):
Comparing the subject to an animal, such as a dog.
Slurs for various minorities.
Names for 'vulgar' body parts, or the act of sex itself.
Names for human waste products.
Literal 'curse words', such as "damn" or "hell", which imply the subject will go to, or just allude to the existence of, the Christian hell.
Literal swears, as in oaths. This is pretty rare in modern English aside from "I swear to god... ". The word "gadzooks" is actually a minced version of "God's Hooks" (the nails used in the crucifixion), which was probably shortened from "I swear on God's Hooks". Its pretty funny how something that was probably deadly serious in the past has been diluted so much that now only cartoon characters say it.
Literal profanity, as in invoking the holy in an improper context. This has a lot of overlap with the previous two categories.
I don't really know anything about linguistics, but these seem like the categories to me. In addition to the "alludes to the sexual impropriety of the subject (if female) or the subject's mother (if male)" category.
I kinda agree, you are "allowed" to sing or dance or paint just because you want to and not to get good at it, nobody is going to yell at you for that.
But on the other hand I feel like a large amount of people won't even try something for fear of being bad at it. I don't think they explicitly think of it this way but "the only point of doing something is to be good at it" is the implication of that attitude.
(That's not to say that you shouldn't seek to improve your skills if that's something you enjoy. Just that 'trying to get better' isn't a prerequisite for doing anything at all. You can have fun and enrich your life while sucking at something.)
Ummm… 10 knots * 200 = 2000 knots. I don’t think so lol.
First of all, kinetic energy scales with the square of an objects velocity.
Second, since we're talking about a continuous stream of fluid instead of a single object, increasing the air speed not only increases the enegy per unit mass of air, but also the number of units of air per second that pass through the turbine. Which means that the amount of energy extracted scales by the cube of the wind speed.
It would be a matter of what kind of video it is and what situation I'm in.
Generally I watch almost everything on my desktop PC, but if I'm away from my computer and I also have to sit and wait for a few hours I might watch something insubstantial (not a movie or something) on my phone using an earbud. That is if I'm not using my phone to read instead.
Heshmati told the student he had used Excel’s autofill function to mend the data. He had marked anywhere from two to four observations before or after the missing values and dragged the selected cells down or up, depending on the case. The program then filled in the blanks. If the new numbers turned negative, Heshmati replaced them with the last positive value Excel had spit out.
Of course that guy didn't need fancy autofill to act like an idiot, he used good old fashion autofill.
