I've done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.

Grab a 4 free AOL disk from blockbuster, use 3 of them as frisbees. Take the last one home and spend 10 minutes waiting the interface to install. Plug in the phone line and hear a series of beeps and schreeches before being greeted by an early robotic voice saying "welcome!" And often "you've got mail".

Afterwards you follow a guide to sign up for a mail account and a text like document with links to AOL platform tooling like chat rooms and search tools. You started looking for urls everywhere wondering what hidden gems you'll find in the virtual world and what kind of content was on cereal websites or Nickelodeon. There was a massive learning curve for multimedia, but you had a lot of pen pals from chatrooms. So much porn spam. Nabisco had an awesome gaming site

Couple things here, Maro is a designer for the game, not the CEO. He has a very active blog, including a podcast during his drive to work. He regularly shares his opinions; often times stating when he is opposed to the direction of wotc/hasbro but it is vetted by management because of trade secrets. MTG is a very inclusive community because it caters to the fringe communities that are inherently different. They really don't want to alienate their diverse fan base, they are a very expensive hobby that anyone can walk away from.

I am also going to recommend you actually read the article rather than a snippet/summary. He goes into detail about the user he was responding to is wrong, because he was unable to provide insight required for character building and how culture is whitewashed. This was not a push/PR piece he reached out to enlighten a user that was wrong. He is championing people to embrace diversity because it has visible value and gives examples. He is also doing this during an era of opposition which is when it's most important. Maro is an amazing person that has done significant work towards all kinds of game development, I highly recommend checking out some of his comicon panels.

How about 4 slight lefts?

A coworker started getting used to client dinners, with super nice steaks. He was known to say "I'll just walk up to a cow and take a bite these days"

On a very specific note, I don't run my Plex server in a container. I have a docker compose setup with 20+ apps, but Plex is on the bare metal OS because it's kinda finicky and doesn't like nas. You also need to setup the Plex API to claim the server as the container name changes. This is my stock Plex config if it helps

    
plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/GMT
      - VERSION=docker
      - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
    volumes:
      - /home/null/docker/plex/:/config
      - /x:/x
      - /y:/y
      - /z:/z
    restart: unless-stopped

  

It's built on the shipping container parallel. In order to transport objects you obfuscate anything not required for shipping a container.

• What's inside the container doesn't matter. The container has everything it needs to run because the ship/host is responsible for the overhead.
• containers move. Containers are setup to run by themselves, so you can move it from one ship to another. This means you can use your container doesn't care if it's in the cloud or a shipping vessel
• As soon as you open a container your stuff is there. It's very easy to onboard.
• Most importantly though, your shipping container isn't a full boat by itself. It lives in a sandbox and only borrows the resources it needs like the hosts CPU or the boats ability to float. This makes it easier to manage and stack because it's more flexible

Proton had a reputation for being the good guy. In the span of a month, we saw them bend the knee, flip flop and throw shade at competition; all while pretending to be the hero. We essentially have to trust them with our data and they are showing signs that they are willing to act against that trust with worrisome agendas and biases. It's not a good look, and since this marketing to users key issues, it's going to cause some responses.

It all started with PAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL the short version is that old cameras were tuned to work with the electromagnetic frequency, your camera either worked in Europe or in the US. This effected the frame rate of the end video (4%) and meant that tvs, video players and consoles ran at a different frame rate which lead to 2 standards NTSC and SECAM.

As trade expanded publishers created trade routes and business partnerships that created a patterns of distribution. Later when we resolved those 2 standards with modern technology, we are still were using those methods to get the physical copies to the stores and those same stores are still handling digital distribution, using the same laws and regulations. It might seem simple to click download, but that's built on a monolith of history and automation to deliver a good user experience.

To actually get rid of it, I'm not a lawyer but I imagine we have internal trade treaties to visit? I don't think it's legal to sell PAL versions outside of their region unless you are also doing business there. I know Japanese pokemon games were hard to buy as a kid. Disclaimer: I know tech stuff.

It's so consistent it has a name: Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

I heard that we were at the theoretical limit but apparently there's been a break through: https://phys.org/news/2020-09-bits-atom.html

You are stuck on 100% accuracy and trying to actually stuff to death. The user asked if it's possible to write an application in bash and the answer is an overwhelming duh. Most assembly languages are emulators and they all predate C. You are confidant, wrong and loud. Guess I struck a nerve when I called you out for needing a specific language.

2 parts:

• All languages are middleware. Unless you write in assembly, whatever you write isn't directly being executed, they are being run through a compiler and being translated from your "middle language" or into 0s and 1s the computer can understand. Middleware is code used in between libraries to duplicate their functionality.
  https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/cloud-computing-dictionary/what-is-middleware/
• Most original code was written in shell. Most scripting is done in the cli or shell language and stored as a script.shfile, containing instructions to execute tasks. Before python was invented you used the basic shell because nothing else existed yet

Pretty much all languages are middleware, and most of the original code was shell/bash. All new employees in platform/devops want to immediately push their preferred language, they want java and rust environments. It's a pretty safe bet if they insist on using a specific language; then they don't know how awk or sed. Bash has all the tools you need, but good developers understand you write libraries for functionality that's missing. Modern languages like Python have been widely adopted and has a friendlier onboarding and will save you time though.

Saw this guy's post in another thread, he's strawmanning because of lack of knowledge.

Comcast, Banfield pet hospital, yumly (taco bell subsidiary), chase banking, GoDaddy, anyone providing healthcare and nordvpn all need to pay restitutions or be dismantled. Internal errors become my problem as a customer and they refuse to acknowledge/fix it..

Am I misunderstanding siphon powers? Add invisibility and super speed... Aita?

Longshot, but can you tell what's wrong with my lotus?

Leaves come in healthy green, but each leaf has a different deficiency symptom and I'm thinking it's because of the small tank condition you described.

I attempted to find the article but search engines are terrible. They mentioned that advertising companies often have a book of mail tests; things they attempted to mail to see if they would be permitted. Some of the examples included:

A sock with an address written on it, partial addresses, wet paper, vague addresses like your example, local names like "sues bar", tom cruises house, a sandwich in a bag, poster board, flags. They get pretty creative and like a record of what might work for pitch meetings. Generally if it looks plausible, they attempt it.
