It's reversible, just not overnight. Start today and don't give up.

Maybe. A chimpanzee is much closer to a human than a monkey, which already had ~500 of the ~1600 proteins.

In addition, RAII is useful for more than just memory [de]allocation: database connections, resource handles, anything that you have to get/create and then cleanup/release.

Maybe they should send an email/SMS to notify you that email/SMS had been disabled. (And, an email/SMS to the old address when the email/SMS is changed too.)

IAP games are like going to the arcade and paying some small amount per play, rather than buying the game upfront and getting to play as much as you want.

Often this comes up in the context of a conversation with people you don't know very well. (Like, on an internet forum.) When you're discussing some subject X with people you don't know that well, and you complain about X, people might get the impression that you don't much care for X. For all values of X, not just kids.

People that mostly like their kids and kids in the abstract, but nonetheless want to complain about some aspect of kids (understandably!), may not wish to create the impression that they're not into their kids. So they make sure to include a disclaimer in their complaint that their kids are wonderful, etc.

It's different among close friends -- there you find people complaining that their kids kept them up all night or whatever without feeling the need to include a "my kids are wonderful" every third sentence. Because their close friends know this implicitly.
