Have you seen Trump's worn out face and meek demeanour in his speech right after the private talk with Putin?

This is the look of someone who just got humiliated and bullied and tries to play it cool.

During the 2007 G8 summit Sarkozy also had the same demeanour in a press conference following a private talk with Putin in private. People originally thought he was drunk. But witness reports confirm that Putin immediately found a way to get under his skin and verbally destroyed and belittled him. Putin is extremely skilled at this and it's obvious he just did the same to Trump. Not that Trump was a particularly difficult victim to manipulate like that.

When I'm browsing around with multiple tabs open, the last thing I want is something to start moving them around and messing my flow up. This is a solution looking for a problem.

Every invention or discovery sped up our development. We wasted hundreds of thousands of years chasing prey and foraging for food with little to no time or energy to spare for anything else. Agriculture gave us excess time and energy to pursue other things than bare survival. Writing allowed us to better record and share ideas and knowledge. Mathematics allowed us to better understand the world. Fertilizer allowed us to boost our food production and population, which meant more brains to figure things out. Computers allowed us to almost instantly solve problems that would have taken centuries to do by hand, further speeding up our technological development. All of it has been exponential so far.
