Not all raids, no.


I didn’t say ‘all raids’.


Also the fact that he is a supporter of the IRA, both in his statements for the past 40 or so years, and also materially (back during the Troubles). How the hell does a guy like that end up as Committee Chairman for Homeland Security?


"Host it wherever you want" - unless it's physically self-hosted, it's not truly "yours" is it?


You can host it on your own machine. Even if you host it via an hosting provider, you can export all your data and your apps to any new servers like an home server for example!


GMail? Dropbox (eventually)?


Those doctors were probably on the Nestle payroll, after the money from Camel dried up.

Can you elaborate a bit on said psychological structure?


To add to the other response(s), there's a sense of artificialness to homework and the way it's drip fed.

The deadline is just so the setter has a schedule to assess it, and the next one will be coming at some point in the future.

With work it's usually all coming now. If you're not doing task a, you could be doing task b, c, d or e instead. Of course good planning and management will mean time is organised between all the tasks to get them done one at a time (or as close to) and it's not a daunting pressure, but I find there's always a sense that there's lots to do.

In the cases I've had where there doesn't seem like a lot to do, that's when I tend to procrastinate with what I'm meant to be doing, looking at this and that other interesting thing we could be doing.

[Edit] Also, money always helps ;)


I'm not OP but presumably: homeworks are done alone at home whereas professional works are done within a team at a workplace. Procrastination is the demotivating consequence of working alone, isolated.


But this way, my $employer's Business School can charge 19 thousand for an MSc in Data Science and Management!

Quantitative business analyst just doesn't sound as wallet-opening.


You don't have to go through the process of imprinting a routine from scratch with a rescue dog, do you?


That really depends on the rescue dogs' condition.


Generally their condition is decent. Good shelters tend to only re-home dogs that score well in sociability and training.


A rescue dog — unless maybe really, really old — needs to be challenged constantly. And by challenged, I mean — these dogs are/were rescue dogs for a reason. :)

Challenges include games and tasks, and all that. These dogs need "work" to feel alive.


Your talking about police/fire/ems dogs, but they are talking about saved dogs from bad situations.

My bad. Language barrier! :)


I believe you're talking about "search and rescue" dogs. The others were talking about dogs that had been rescued from abusive or neglectful owners.

In any case, you are correct :)
