A good example of this is the stock portfolios that allow you to mimic Nancy Pelosi's investments. By seconding every decision she makes it directly boosts every stock she buys.

I'd just call it misguided.

Yes. NAND is also quite expensive and is the main difference between the two. Also for a 2230 size it's significantly more compact than a 2280, so you'll find bigger price differences on small form factor drives than large form factor.

I mean, if you've played everquest 1 I feel like you've already hit the lore duration jackpot. It's also more complex than most by far if you include classes that take a lot of skill to play well. Big difference between skilled and unskilled players for sure

Sh.itjust.works also has one of the most abrasive trolls who ban evades and attacks users and admins. You may have unfortunately ran into them under multiple names.

To the biggest degree it's comfort elsewhere and numbers attracting numbers. To a smaller but still substantial degree it's the same reason the top 3 phone brands have less customization and a more plug and play experience than rooted phones. It solves a huge amount of the problems with Reddit, but reddit is simpler to join, simpler to understand, feels more secure, and has so many communities and active users that even inactive communities can look active by how many people mistakenly post there.

Probably something to do with all this. Instance admins can block you on their users' behalves by banning you. It's the less effective alternative to the instances you frequent communities on banning you, which is the less effective alternative to your own instance banning you / deleting your account.

Depends on the OS. They can be chopped down by removing windows aero / transparency features among some other memory hogs, plus if it has an nvme or sata SSD then virtual memory can do some fast enough heavy lifting. That being said, I think the last OS Microsoft made that could run functionally on 4gb without significant virtual memory useage is Windows 8 and I wouldn't wish that experience on you, nor recommend it for security reasons. If you use Linux you probably won't need to upgrade for a long while with that easy workload.

My pi 5 acts like a normal decent computer on Linux builds but windows would crunch it.

Edit just to say that the main task you need to worry about is likely decoding. If whatever APU or GPU you have doesn't have a built in ASIC for modern hvec then I could see it lagging significantly regardless of OS and memory size. You also mentioned browsing, which means I wouldn't recommend staying with the last MacOS you can get for security concerns. Linux seems like the obvious choice.

Airbus: None of them have escaped the manufacturer without remedies to correct them, it's just causing delays to our customers.

Boeing: Just release them anyways and kill the whistleblower(s).

Doesn't adding means testing to programs like this add a lot of administrative burden and hidden cost for giving out cards, managing giant secure databases of a person's validity, renewals, data breach potential, etc?

Or that she's "beautiful"

He's trying to appeal to the cult of sexually insecure men who need trad wives to exist because nobody except someone obsessed with being a wife and child bearer would ever lower themselves enough for them to qualify.

It's a bit more complicated than that. People like him have traditionally played off of religion heavily while not being firm believers themselves. I think it stands to reason that the religion is a means to an end, which in Israel's case amplifies their main defense, which is, "If you don't like our ethnostate the you don't like Jews." Obviously ridiculous to most leftists, but liberals are more amenable to identity politics.

It couldn't have happened to more deserving "victims" especially in Australia

 

My favorite book is a little known one called "Black Holes and Timewarps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" and I reference it so much that I would really like a copy that's fully mine and searchable, but I also care about the author receiving compensation for the purchase. Where do you get your PDF copies from?
