Not in any way, no. Our brains can't predict what we will be interested in or good at.

But we do have predispositions. If you are able to focus intently on things, or are creative, or are more athletic, which are reflected in neuronal connectivity, you might be more interested in more detail-oriented or creative or athletic hobbies.

They'll get the picture in the fine letter so make sure you give them your best one-finger salute

You really love posting this comment in every post about steam, don't you?

Yep, the lockdown waves probably weren't ideal for preventing viral spread, but we now know they were at least better than doing nothing.

Hopefully we learn for next time

As always, it's better to recommend more strict restrictions when you don't know if they're effective and there's an impact on public health. Hindsight is 20/20

Speaking of water... How often do you actually see a drop of water shaped like a drop? Almost never

I went looking for old forums I used to frequent, and while the site itself is on the internet archive most of the conversations are lost. Only one or two snapshots a year

I wish I was a better piano player

I'm a competent musician in many instruments but I could never get the hang of using my left hand for accompaniment

Predictive text also can vectorize words, but the number of vectors per word are much, much simpler.

If you want to appear more mature, start capitalizing your sentences and using less exclamation points. Some are fine, but never more than one to a sentence.

 

When comments are very long, it can push the text box for replies towards the bottom of the screen. If the keyboard is pulled up to add to the text box, it will cover the box and make it so the response cannot be seen unless the keyboard is dismissed.

Possible solution: minimize the original comment on tap, or allow scrolling until the reply text box is at the top of the screen
