Never use an intermediary. Instead of dealing with <hotel>, you have to deal with Indian call center agents. Hotels.com and booking.com and similar are the absolute worst. I lost maybe 4 hours repeating myself to various people in Ind

It is extremely hard to make two pdfs have the same output binary, especially on CI vs local.

I’ve trained with bodybuilders for years. I assure you willpower and choosing boring foods is a huge factor. Plain chicken, rice, broccoli, water. Try to gain weight.

AppleCare will hand you a new phone if you break a new, flagship model before they have spare parts. I suspect “UbreakIfix” will not do this.

If any doctor prescribed eating less or eating the same and increasing daily activity, a patient would leave and get a new doctor for hurt feelings.

When I did it it was form questions like how to do an SQL join. The questions were not related at all to the work you were trying to do.

Minecraft is so broken that I’ve removed it from all family devices. I would frequently have to reinstall on PS5 to get it to boot, it would lose purchases constantly, and there is no cross play for mac hilariously because Mac doesn’t have

There is no original. The rhyme is shared among many languages with variants based on the language. Earliest known variant: Hana, man, mona, mike; Barcelona, bona, strike; Hare, ware, frown, vanac; Harrico, warico, we wo, wac. The rhyme pot

I don’t know if it was gang affiliated but other 6 year olds were dealing where I grew up.

Such extreme privilege right here. Kids that young will be pressured into using drugs and committing crimes, mostly vandalism and theft, but sometimes worse. That’s around the age when kids started dealing drugs where I grew up. I knew kids

Also great for kids who you can’t be sure wiped but you can be sure used a bidet, because you can hear the water spraying.

Notably without children. Just adults and their annoying dogs. If it doesn’t have schools, sports, and recreation for kids, it’s a dystopia.

I suspect not. I find that “soft toys” wind up on floors and shelves and are largely trash, but the kids get a kind of hoarder mentality about them. Storage container facilities are a blight. I suspect many are filled with rotting toys with

As a solo traveler it’s a terrible value. But for a family of 4 it’s extremely useful. You really have to go with well reviewed hosts.

I think what you’re discounting is the effort it would take to increase energy output in Europe (my original statement) by 50%. It’s not happening. Energy production is flat or down for the past 30 years. Flat or down. Europe will not build

Can I see the math on that? Unless efficiency improves dramatically that does not seem feasible.

There is not nearly enough energy production in Europe for this unless the 240M car owners in Europe mostly all abandon their vehicles.

You won’t get more than tens of thousands of concurrent network connections at most per machine. Your network switch is likely to fail first, or your operating systems ability to manage concurrent requests. 71M is a lot more network than yo

Non big city schools aren’t a 4x multiple or even 2x. And most schools aren’t in New England. And most schools don’t require dorming, especially for all 3/4 years. The average student loan debt for a graduating undergrad is 23k. If col

Greatest potential and best employees aren’t the same at BigCo. Institutional knowledge is worth more the larger an organization is, and those willing to move may be more devoted to the company and willing to stay around long term. In fact,

This is a layoff, but it’s at least one that makes sense. Consolidating offices feels more reasonable to me than just slicing headcount randomly. I hope the severance package is good.

I took an optional extra class at 630. It wasn’t bad; I just went to sleep earlier to compensate.

Most state universities cost nothing near this, especially if you discount room and board. You need to live somewhere and eat, so it’s not sensible to include those costs with the cost of college.

In America, I find that anyone “snacking” is overweight or obese. There is no need to snack. Meals are plenty enough as is, and as this thread is indicating, maybe even one meal too many.

Prices are extremely high before you configure. These are apple prices without an apple warranty. When I had keyboard issues I had my laptop flown out with 1 day overnight shipping and the same back to me. When the refurb I purchased has a

That’s similar to how “Asian” is used. Ask a Vietnamese person if they would include themselves in a group of Chinese people. Asia is half of earths population, so “Asian” cannot possibly mean anything.

That ship has sailed, in America at least. There are two sides: one who believes in freedom of speech, and the other that would jail or worse others for their speech. Being honest and open about nearly any topic could get you fired, so it’s
