Our lungs are composed of little tiny sacks for absorbing oxygen called alveoli. When you’re breathing normally, the small air sacs in your lungs can sometimes collapse spontaneously. This can negatively affect lung function and reduce the gas exchange that occurs there.

These involuntary deep breaths or sighs help to prevent the alveoli from collapsing because it’s such a big breath, it serves to reinflate most of your alveoli.

I saw the Force Awakens in theaters a few years ago. That's the only time I have been to a theater in the last 15 years. And yes, I had buyers remorse because I brought my wife and three sons so it was over $100 to see something we could have just rented a few weeks later.

Yes, and the ports exist at layer 4 of the transmission protocol. So it's not hardware related at all. They exist in the headers (just a few bits) of the packets that are being sent back and forth. So, to continue the example above, the ports are not a component of the apartments themselves, it's just written on the envelope of any mail or packages sent to and from those apartments.

I came here just to see if anyone else was having to read the title three times like I did. I have a coworker that writes like this. He's intelligent, well-spoken, and knowledgeable but he writes in such a convoluted way that I have to edit everything he sends to customers.

I think it is interesting that Shelley was influenced to write Frankenstein because at the time, a volcano named Tambora in Indonesia had been erupting for a couple of years which caused blocked out sunlight and lowered averages surface temperatures globally. It was gloomy and crops were failing so this all influenced her story.
