nah, rolled ankles happen when there's little support around the ankle and when you walk with sidewards momentum. Boots stabilize the ankle really well and at that height, you basically walking on stilts rather than heels (plus the sole is rounded to guide your momentum forwards). It's surprisingly comfortable, as long as you don't stand still for too long.

I feel like there's a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha

Nothing world-changing or revolutionary, but it's nice to have these aspects listed in a concise fashion 👍

Very cool in theory, hard to do without stumbling into Eugenics 😬

The only memory I have of my 3DS is being really into a game and playing for so long that I was really really hungry. Then I turned on the 3D slider to get motion sick and not hungry anymore to continue playing the game. Perfect problem solving skills here.

I held a basic digital security course for the 6th-8th graders when I was in 12th. My favorite topic from that was Phishing and Password theft.

I only had the time and resources for some PowerPoint slides of emails, where students could point out what exactly is suspicious but that wasn't very engaging.

If I had the time though, I would have set up some trackable links for the students and told them to try Phishing School staff and their friends/parents. It would have been some free pen-testing for the school, plus students would have been way more willing to internalize information that allows them to do something "naughty". The main point is that most digital risks don't come from some high-concept hacking, but from social engineering and a moment of inattention. Everyone can fall for it, no matter how smart they think they are. I think that's an important lesson to learn.

You can empty the bag without throwing it away?? I always thought those bags were supposed to be tossed as they are when they're full :o

.. I've done neither haha

Realistically? I'd play video games all day and die at 35. I kinda need work for the daily structure and the socialization.

I'm not a writer, and I only read Fantasy at the time so I've never encountered a Jewish Chinese character. What would be the right answer to this?

I mean realistically, it could be any combination of first and last names, depending on whatever the deal with the person's parents' heritage is (or whether they would even name their kid in a way that displays that).

But in fiction, you'd probably want a name that is memorable and quickly associates with the characters most important roles/traits. And thinking that a characters most important characteristic would be their race is kinda yikes

You sure have a creative way of reading. No, I mean the power grid, the literal cables in the ground that distribute power. There is no alternative option to using them, thus they are a natural monopoly. The fact that non-government entities own them (at least here in Germany, maybe the rest of the world is better) is a problem, because they are not subject to market forces or market competition and are thus incompatible with free market principles.

What you have in mind is the energy market, which is a more or less fictional entity that is overlaid over the energy grid to emulate a free market on top of it. Although energy producers are free to "sell" their energy on the energy market, they are not allowed to "insider trade" by directly selling to anyone. They are also either heavily taxed on energy they decide to use themselves or fully forbidden from doing so. The reason for that is that such practices would disrupt the market in a way that hurts the actual humans that are the end-cosumers of the energy by raising the prices for no other reason than profiteering.

Energy Providers and Energy Producers are different entities. Energy Providers are the companies who own, maintain and build the Grid, while Energy Producers are the Companies making the energy. Energy Producers don't invest in research beyond what is directly beneficial to them. (There's also an intermediate management step called Bilanzkreisverwalter in German, idk what their English name would even be. They direct Energy Producers on a smaller scale.)

So, by "renewable energy startup" you mean something like a solar or wind park? Those businesses are free to sell their energy on the market for a fair and reasonable price. As far as I've talked to colleagues who work in such parks, their reality is that they make a reasonable profit and pay fair wages to their employees and contractors. I wouldn't call them as vast as the resources that Energy Providers have, but they're perfectly fine for average businesses. To be quite frank, buying some solar panels and putting them in a field isn't exactly the most complicated or unique business plan. It's surprisingly good income for how simple it is.

You also wanna make sure to get in the habit of punching with your thumb at the side of your fist and not in front of your index finger, cause you might otherwise break your own thumb on impact.
