I love Quora. It's a Q & A site. You can ask a question about anything and get answers from other users fast. Many of those users will be experts.
Or you can just browse things you're interested in.
I don't understand the User Content legal thing. It doubt that you have to worry about it. |

| 1 I'm Male, Autistic, and have no sense of direction In the newest Scientific American , there's an article about how mammals' brains, and that includes humans, can automatically create mental maps which give them a sense of direction. I don't think my brain does that. The article mentioned Alzheime... |

| No way. Autism $peaks is involved, and the phrase "solve autism" is used at least twice, once in huge letters. This is dubious grammar: would one say "solve cancer" or "solve diabetes"? Why not "understand autism"? And autism isn't necessarily bad. Everyone's ... |

| My experience is similar. I mostly use Windows 7. Initially I disliked it, because of the changes from XP that weren't improvements. But I've discovered some changes that are improvements, and learned how to take advantage of them. I also use Classic Shell (which is free), which makes the Start Menu... |

I'm not crazy about the Google corporation either, but they have the best search engine, they run YouTube, and GoogleMaps is great. I've set my account so they do... |

What does it mean to "break" a system?
You can PM me if you think it's a better way to discuss it.

| I love Family Guy . Sure, it's stupid or repetitive sometimes, but often there's a hilarious bit or one of those extended cutaways, and that makes it worthwhile for me. There are a lot of fairly highbrow and/or obscure references to art, literature, classic movies, politics, etc, which I like. Let's... |

Tchaikovsky's orchestral suite #2.
His suites are underplayed masterpieces. The only one that's somewhat well-known is #4 ("Mozartiana").
In one part, the #2 has 4 accordians! |

| I didn't read the original post extremely carefully, but my answer to the question is "no". I had a lot of trouble finding a good job, and I almost lost that job for BS reasons. I wouldn't call those "luxury problems". |
