Here is an interesting article about why this guy became a Buddhist. It's interesting to see others' opinions. And feel free to reply, or boost. :) budsas.org/ebud/ebdha141.htm
Looking for vegan places and not a fan of proprietary datasets? #MapComplete has several themes to find (and edit) vegan places, based on #OpenStreetMap data!
The “restaurants and fast food” theme will show most places you might be interested in. If you love fries (like I do), “fries shops” will be helpful for you. And in the “gluten free” and “lactose free” themes, you can filter for vegan places too!
You can also easily edit these places with MapComplete, for example to add details or update incorrect or outdated information. Your changes will be uploaded to OpenStreetMap, which is freely reusable data!

Here's an interesting article about how someone did not find solace in Buddhism. Feel free to express your opinion in a reply. slate.com/culture/2003/02/why-…
I personally think that there are some common misconceptions that might have influenced the author's views, e.g. the way he understands the definition of attachment, enlightenment, views on reality, but it's always so interesting to see differing opinions.
For a 2,500-year-old religion, Buddhism seems remarkably compatible with our scientifically oriented culture, which may explain its surging popularity...
Honestly, this sounds like an extremely scientific person who was not happy, just by the multiple times scientific and science being mentioned. But I understand the opinion. If meditation did not work for some, that does not mean it won't work for others. And if it causes you to have more issues than helps, maybe it's time to find a therapist, so coupled with meditation, they can help you deal with stuff. That's my take on that.
If you don't have someone who can guide and teach you, and show you options, it'll always be super hard. Someone shows you where to start from, and you either figure it out or don't, which just means you need more help. And it's not shameful.
I just had the same thought, didn't want to influence anyone's reading though.
I think he is looking for something that science can prove to be right, the same way it proved that humans technically have two brains which the Chinese knew for thousands of years through martial arts, the Tao, etc. Also categorising Buddhism as a religion while it's really not.
Matching dinosaur footprints in Cameroon and Brazil record a time when Africa and South America were still connected & herds could wander between them.
I'm not saying the very same dinosaur was stomping around in both Cameroon and Brazil...but it's possible.
What are the different types of disability? Do you know the difference between a situational and a temporary disability?
Most people recognise certain disabilities but don't realise that not all disabilities are constant or permanent.
Accessibility Specialist Demelza Feltham explores different types, how they might affect people, and gives a huge range of examples that almost everyone can relate to.
This post offers an overview of various disability types across four groups: seeing, hearing, moving, and thinking, and provides a brief exploration of what disability is, highlighting how permanent, temporary, or situational disabilities can affect …
Huge congratulations to @hartgenconsult for a decade of creating amazing products & tutorials. My favorite thing I've purchased from you is #Leasey, which I use many times daily & have 0 idea what I would do without it. Keep up your incredible work! :) tweesecake.social/@DavidGoldfi…
I agree. I've purchased several applications and training courses from Hartgen Consultancy and all of them are of the highest quality. For me, Leasey will always be my favorite application from them. It adds a ton of helpful productivity features to JAWS and Fusion. www.hartgen.org
Este é o tipo de coisa em que eu penso quando se fala em distopia. A IA é cada vez mais uma ferramenta de usurpação, contrafação, fraude, mentira e manipulação. E poluição ambiental também. Quase me esquecia.

A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.
Translation: should satellite operators who make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?
So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:

Mit der App StreetComplete auf dem Smartphone kann jeder Mensch (unabhängig von persönlichen Vorlieben oder Registrierungen in Gruppen und Vereinen) zur Barrierefreiehit beitragen.
@fexplorer @cantences Ja, das stimmt gewissermaßen. Wenn ich etwas mit der APP bewirken will, muss ich einen Account haben. Aber ich kann sie öffnen und die Aufgaben eingeben, ohne dass sie hochgeladen werden. Für mich war diese Möglichkeit eine Phase des Lernens. Bei OSM an sich muss ich angemeldet sein, wenn ich die Funktionen ausprobieren will. Ist das richtig?

I actually recommend you read the whole thread - and follow Jonny! (Thank you for the recommendation @oblomov!)
Hi. Thanks for this. I'm wondering if this would be a good thing for me to have because I have a lot of files created by my QBraille who's default is BRL files. Then it causes an issue when I try to read those same files on my Brailliant BI40X. There are a lot of weird symbols and things that are not interpreted properly. I'll have to give this a try.

Premiér Petr Fiala (ODS) uvedl, že považuje svoji vládu za nejúspěšnější v české historii a chce příští rok na podzim vést koalici Spolu do voleb a znovu kandidovat na premiéra.
jojo, já to vnímám tak, že Fiala zkouší najet na vlnu populismu, nevím jestli to u voličů #Spolu bude nejlepší strategie. Ale #ANO z toho nutně musí mít radost 😄
@jan Restaurace uz jsou v Praze stejne drahe jako v Nemecku. Je otazka casu, kdy zdrazi jeste vic a i cisnik si pak vydela tech 50k. A tak je to s kazdym odvetvim.
Ted je ta vlna zdrazovani, aby se zatlacilo na platy. IMHO se opravdu diky te bolestive inflaci srovnavame na uroven Nemecka.
"Premiér Petr Fiala uvedl, že považuje svoji vládu za nejúspěšnější v české historii."
Byl jeden světový politik, jmenoval se Biden a ten taky tvrdil, že jeho vláda je velmi úspěšná. A ona objektivně v mnoha ohledech úspěšná je, ale když se tváříš, že je vše "nadmíru výtečné", a nepřiznáš, že i tak můžou mít lidi problémy, i když za ně tvoje vláda ani přímo nemůže, prohraješ volby.
