Isn’t it just a matter of cutting off a couple of undersea cables?
North Korea isn’t an island. It shares a land border with Russia and China. My guess is that North Korea’s main telecom connectivity is through China. If China is cutting off North Korean internet, internet access is the least of its worries.
At least to me the use of memory palaces actually precludes the use of the stored information at the conceptual level.
For me the usefulness of memorized information is the concepts it links to elsewhere in memory. Memory palaces replace these conceptual links with the “physical” link to the location in the memory palace reducing the information’s actual usefulness. So what is produced in my mind is a linear list I can recite, but those words have no meaning conceptually.
For me, memory palaces work great at a party trick, but information is useful to me in conceptual form with its many links to other existing concepts I have, not as a rote list.
The two titles I got from there were way cheeper than on the store linked to my device.
I searched a few books on both kindle store (web) and ebooks.com. The prices for the books were the same down to the penny.
Do you have an example of a title that is cheaper on ebooks.com?
I’m not quite grasping the context you’re asking the question, but I will say gender matters on Lemmy in the sense that I want full representation from all genders (and non-gender folk). The value of conversation here is derived from the many viewpoints that each of us bring. Without full representation, we’ll be missing valuable inside and perspective if a specific gender (or non-gender) is missing.
Nintendo is one of the worst and most unethical companies on the planet. Would be nice if there was a community where people could share their hatred over Nintendo. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are basically HP, Apple, Nintendo and Nestlé. Fuck all shitty corporations but fuck those 4 in particular.
I agree with you on Nestlé, but HP, Apple, and Nintendo don’t even make the top 50 “worst and most unethical companies on the planet”. You need put in companies like Union Carbide India Limited responsible for the Bhopal disaster, the big tobacco companies, a whole bunch of defense contractors, some other agribusinesses, and a bunch of banks.
Many bathroom cleaners are ammonia based. Mixing chlorine bleach with ammonia creates chlorine gas, the same stuff used as chemical weapons in WWI.
I still have some of the earliest modern LED bulbs on the market–old Philips ones, the AmbientLED (i think) with the yellow casing and large heat sinks.
I bought a couple of those for an enclosed fixture inside a skylight. The ceiling height there is 20 feet, plus another 2ft into the skylight tunnel. I bought those LED bulbs (at $40/each) because I never wanted to change them. Both bulbs were still fully functional 15 years later. I have since sold that house, but I bet they’re still functioning.
FF has been giving me trouble with youtube recently. Vivaldi with uBlock Origin has been solid.
The first “sorry” is sorry as in “I’m sorry you found that offensive” which isn’t a genuine expression of sorrow, nor is it an apology.
The rate isn’t too bad actually, but when your household is a larger consumer anyway and you’re charging 2 EVs consumption gets up there. We have also switched to an induction stove, heat pump water heater, added a heat pump dryer, and just recently had our gas furnace ripped out and a cold climate heat pump put in for the HVAC.
With all of that the electricity usage the bill goes up, but we can wipe it out with solar and now we don’t have natural gas bills or gasoline costs for transportation. The up front costs can be high with this approach, but the monthly bills are nearly non-existent.
The rate around here is now down to $0.22/kWh. We were occasionally getting electricity bills around $400/month at worst, but we haven’t had an electrical bill since April of this year with our solar panels on the roof now.
Legally they cannot. Also, domestic violence happens to men too.
I’d like to know how close I was and in what ways I can become a more interesting candidate, but nobody is going to give me a realistic answer.
I can tell you from the employer side there is nothing to gain by answering this question asked by a candidate, and everything to lose which is why you the candidate almost never hear a response.
There are some legally protected reasons you cannot be turned down for a job. Its all the stuff you’d think of: race, religion, marital status, sex, age, etc. The likelihood you were turned down because of one of these illegal reasons is usually very low in the USA. I’m proud to say for the hiring efforts I’ve been a part of, these have never been considered criteria for disqualifying a candidate. Its always been for things like lack of knowledge/education, criminal history (example multi-DUI for a job that requires driving or conviction of embezzling when put in charge of company finances ), etc.
However, any documented reason a prospective employer gives back to a candidate becomes a liability. Will that candidate sue the company claiming that they weren’t hired because they think the position required some not married, which would be a crime of the employer?
I take it you’ve never seen what kind of damage and desecration a cat can do to a couch?
Don’t ask him about the fate of his first love. Its still a tenders spot. No amount of upholstery will remove that damage.
Immortality
Immortality seems like a good idea, but there’s going to be a LONG time from when the last living thing dies out to the heat death of the universe where you’ll finally join non-existance. EONs of nothing to do likely floating in a vacuum or being trapped on all sides by rock/debris. No thanks.
Sorry for the long story, just sitting here late in bed not knowing what I should do.
First, don’t put much weight in what me, as an internet stranger, is saying.
I do see a psychiatrist
That’s a much better source of advice.
However, if it were me, I would not have him in my life. You have your own family and likely career. Imagine what he might do to both of those things. You said he has accused you of physically abusing him. Could you imagine him showing up at your employer saying those things and how that would affect your life? From what you’re describing he hasn’t changed a bit over all of these years. If you feel absolutely driven to do something for him, offer to pay for him to see a therapist. However, I don’t recommend even this. I’m reminded of the quote:
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” - Maya Angelou
He’s chosen his path in life. Don’t let his poor choices negatively affect your life and your wife.
Our neighbor friend had an Odyssey. Lots of fond memories playing it with them.
On multi-lane merge ramps is the guy in the right lane signalling his left blinker because his steering wheel is turned or is he planning to dive into your lane before the merge?
But if you really want to get pedantic… you’ll probably notice the whole choking-on-vacuum-thing first.
We agree completely!
Not all of us can live in the warm weather winter geographies like you do where you only need 8 layers. /s
