Looks like they've changed the process this year to include a rebuttal phase. A very welcome addition.

I'm aware. I have a Tangerine account. I just don't have access to those near any of the places I frequent. Wealthsimple seems to refund ATM fees (I haven't tested this yet), but then I can't deposit cash.

Would you like to elaborate for those of us who don't know anything about the guy?

If I didn't need to handle cash, I'd have closed my accounts with the big 6 ages ago. It's ridiculous that they charge fees for the privilege of giving them your money. Online banks are where it's at now.

Can you use that gift card anywhere? If yes, then first convert it to cash. Your parents may be covering all your expenses, but they still need to buy groceries. The next time they do, ask them to use your gift card and give you the equivalent amount in cash. Now you have more flexibility to do whatever you want with that cash. Buy something nice, save/invest, etc. You have plenty of advice from others on this already.

You're looking at these strength standards as if "beginner" means "bad". It doesn't. It's just an arbitrary label someone decided to slap on arbitrary numbers. What you should be focusing on is whether or not you're progressing. That's where you can make judgements on whether you're doing well or not.

As for your issue with DB bench, my solution would be to drop the weight and do something differently to make it harder when using lighter weights. That can mean any combination of the following: increasing the number of reps, increasing the range of motion, or increasing the duration of the pause at the bottom. For comparison, my work sets for DB bench are typically 30-40% of the numbers I use on barbell bench. You're currently doing 85%.

Just so you know, when you click the speed test link, it opens it in the same page as the survey and you lose your progress on the survey.

You're pushing some respectable numbers on your main lifts. Are they progressing well? If so, I wouldn't worry so much about everything else. Anything from a slight deficit to a slight surplus will still move you towards getting overall leaner and more muscular. I would say to choose whichever option is easier for adherence.

Does it display anything at all? All GPUs are supposed to work (albeit suboptimally) with a generic driver that should already be installed on your system.

There's high demand for both RAM and GPUs coming from datacenters. Us regular consumers are just a tiny blip on their radar.

Ah, I was hoping for something a little less time consuming, but that may have been too optimistic. I've listened to NPR and their music is good, but it's pretty much always the sort of pop and pop-adjacent stuff that you can easily find without much effort. Same deal with recommendations from friends.

The most promising non-Spotify recommendation system I've found so far is listenbrainz. It's still not giving any good recommendations though.

If the upscaler was trained on data that contains that exact patch in other contexts, it'll theoretically be capable of upscaling it properly.

I don't know if they managed cheaters well, but it's one of those games where the presence of cheaters really doesn't affect how enjoyable the game is unless you're at the very top. I don't understand why they had to impose the anti-cheats on everyone equally.

I don't think this infographic makes sense then. If it's cooked, then it should go the other way around. For the same cooking time, finely minced would give you milder flavours while larger pieces maintain more of the pungency.

What do you recommend for finding new music?

all of your beliefs, passions, interests, social expectations, public perception, and many, many other things are impacted by gender

That's all through societal expectations though, isn't it? You can take any of these things and find that they're associated with different genders in different places around the world and different time periods. I don't think it would make sense to say that a trans person is only trans in a specific place and time.

If you were there, you could've just played dumb and driven the point home by redirecting each question to your coworker.

An educated guess is still technically a guess

I agree. But if I give you table sugar and you tell me it's spicy, then that's not a question of spice tolerance. You just don't know what the word spicy means.

Although, come to think of it, if you think ketchup is spicy, you may want to check if you're allergic to one of the ingredients. Regular ketchup is absolutely not spicy.
