I'm currently at a slim 132GB over the course of a year, and that includes a good size library of RPG pdfs. I should probably save more music to my phone to save on bandwidth. I feel kind of uncomfortable going bellow 512GB storage but I clearly don't need most of that.
There is no amount of money my last job could have paid me to stay once I made up my mind to leave. If it is about money it means you have been drastically underpaying them.
I have a savings account with a credit union, they can offer some pretty good rates and will generally have a very open investment strategy. Customer service has been rather good, at least when accessed via phone. I don't think my union offers things like current accounts, but I hear some do.
You experience is going to be heavily dependent on your specific union, they tend not to have as much money to throw around as major banks do, so don't expect a bespoke app or anything like that.
I can resolve them on mobile internet and my home wifi. Maybe it's your ISP? Try changing your DNS settings to a known good one.
My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.
Just don't read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.
I think B generally reads better. "Relationship between core and periphery countries" reads a lot better than "relationship between core-periphery countries." The latter makes it sound like there is such a thing as a core-periphery. You could say something like "core-periphery relationships between polities". Countries is a less than useful word these days I think, where supernational entities like the EU or NATO dominate, and you have a number of non-state groups that are being exploited and/or supressed.
I'd personally also avoid figurative language like economic landscape. I'd say something like "cartels and monopolies are the dominant economic agents" (or actors). This also helps underscore their active nature, as opposed to economic forces like demand, surplus labour, or inflation.
I'd say MS gets a small cut of the blame for signing a driver that didn't properly validate it's input, allowing this to happen, but yeah you are right, the problem definitely sits in crowdstrike and it's status as a premium rootkit. Ultimately, it doesn't matter if you run MS, Apple or Linux. If you install someone's kernel level backdoor, they own your machine.
Unfortunately I expect anything these businesses move to be state-vulnerable just the same. Some might go down the open source + in house team route but that is seen as an expensive and wasteful route by capitalists.
The universe is under no obligation to be understandable to the bits of it that can think. In many ways it's a wonder we've got as far as we have.
Mock her for Australian stereotypes. Generally refuse to believe New Zealand isn't part of Australia, point out that they have the same flag.
Now's a good time to learn then (when they will forget your mistakes.)
Rather than specific dishes, focus on techniques. Learn to make pan sauces and your food immediately goes up several levels. Be generous with herbs and spices (those little pots you get in supermarkets are not supposed to last long). Serve white rice on the side and mix noodles in to the dish (pasta is a kind of noodle). Learn to make stock and bone broths, if you cook a whole chicken you can serve the best cuts as part of the meal, save the rest for a stir-fry or sandwiches and you can use the bones and connective tissue to create a broth that you can freeze for later. Vegetable soups are also great and can use up all sorts of bits and pieces. In cold weather you can put them in a thermos as a hot packed lunch.
If you want to make something sweet, store bought rolls of filo pastry can be quite good these days, add some fruit, fresh or tinned, and cook.
Experiment, most importantly. If you don't know how to cook with something, find people from where it comes from and see what they are doing with it.
If you don't have anything to brag about you can always tell people how humble you are.
Good on you for checking in with all those people, it must have taken a while.
Lifting the whole world off of fossil fuels is going to be hard, especially if we want to do it quickly. This isn't however a problem the capitalist and nation-state models are well equipped to solve. It should not be a question of can a given people afford the technology or if someone can turn a profit on it.
We need to do this as a species, for the species. It should be given not as charity, not because wealthy countries owe it to poor ones, but because it is right that everyone should benefit from this.
The difficulty is how to convince the politicians and their masters of this, and I don't think throwing paint on things is going to be sufficient.
Generally I find the wait times aren't really longer. The perceived time maybe, as I can ring ahead and then go pick it up, but for me it's just the usual calculus of what could I alternatively spend the time doing and is it worth the added cost. It's the same as do I call a tradesperson or fix something myself. Replace a washer on a tap? Sure I will do that. Install a new toilet? Nah, get a plumber.
If money is tight and I've got the time then I'm going to cook myself. If both are tight then there's always ramen.
So it looks like it's already been formatted to allow you to just get the whole thing in one go (the megamanga). It would be just a case of making sure everything is saved in some meaningful order. Are the alternate universe things ever more than one link deep or are they more of a bonus panel?
It's a bit left-field for this community but you might actually get some reasonable milage out of contacting the artist and asking for their help in archiving it. This isn't corporate art-product as far as I can tell so something might be arranged that is more efficient than just sending a scraper out to lift it.
A plastic ice scraper will help get the bulk off, then you can get a variety of solvents for removing any residue. If it is metal then it should be fine with most solvents but check the instructions and do a test patch somewhere discreet to be sure.
To maximise staying under the radar, probably fabricate. You'd not be amazingly rich, but you could establish a decent living with a lot of free time. If you want to be amazingly rich and you squint hard enough at fabricate and what tool proficiency count mean in the modern world you can probably make some bank with a bit of study of chemistry or engineering. Being able to magically create complex drugs or something is going to draw attention though.
As others have mentioned, we are already kind of there. I can fully understand how someone could fall in love with such an entity, plenty of people have fallen in love with people in chat rooms after all, and not all of those people have been real.
As for how I feel about it, it is going to depend on the nature of the AI. A childish AI or an especially subservient one is going to be creepy. One that can present as an adult of sufficient intelligence, less of a problem. Probably the equivalent of paid for dates? Not ideal but I can understand why someone might choose to do it. Therapy would likely be a better use of their time and money.
If we get actual human scale AGI then I think the point is moot, unless the AI is somehow compelled to face the relationship. At that point however we are talking about things like slavery.
Can probably extend that a bit. I've very rarely seen a sex scene in a movie and found it to actually be relevant.
Nah, shit holes is what they are adding. Tube stations aspire to be shit holes.
