Ike Perlmutter setup that show to fail.

Definitely noticed that with Mastodon -- there's not a whole lot of folks talking/reacting with one another. I suspect it's related to the user base (doesn't have critical mass, demographics, or activity) or a discoverability issue. Bluesky, on the other hand, has a whole lot more engagement on a host of topics.

The best they can do is probably close their Canadian/Mexican plants if the losses are too great, which would increase unemployment in those areas for not only the automotive factories, but also the ones for the automotive suppliers. Even if a Chinese company swoops in to buy the factories, it'd take time to set things up.

They did that when the TPP was scraped too.

Cheap USBs mean cheap read/writes.

Happy to help! Oh one more thing: Microcenter price matches, so look at competing sites the day before you go.

Here's some general thoughts in no particular order:

• PC Part Picker is your friend for compatibility and sorting through all the options.
• I have a Fractal North XL. It's a solid case. If you don't need a top of the line GPU, the regular North will do just fine.
• Add some head room for your power supply. Get a gold or better rated one from a reputable brand.
• Try to buy in-person from a Microcenter if you can. I brought a tablet with my list and they actually recommended some better in-house deals after reviewing my build concept. I saved money and ended up getting some backup parts.
• From what I understand right now is that AMD is a better choice than Intel for CPUs.
• Having one SSD as your primary drive and a secondary drive for data storage can be useful, especially if you need to reinstall the OS.
• If you want to get into video/photo editing you'll want to consider getting more memory/RAM.
• Take pictures while you build. Have some small containers ready for all the screws you'll be managing.
• Build with a friend that has done this before if you can.
• Jays2Cents has a lot of good consumer-focused videos without going too far into the technicals like GamersNexus.
• You may find an entry level GPU useful for basic photo and video editing, but I'd read up on what's available on Linux and what's really needed.

Been using a set of wool dryer balls from Trader Joe's for years. Haven't had to use fabric softener at all.

I did a boot camp at a crossfit gym that was obsessive about calling out bad form.

Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called "Shriek."

As producers, whatever [Marvel] didn’t spend, they kept. So every time we wanted to add something to the show to make it better, it was a fistfight

Oh that explains a bunch.

Do we have a plant-based chicken substitute?

If you're going on a long road trip, yes.

Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.

Isn't that the FCC?

I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I'm curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits that the OS can't resolve) and/or just a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses).

If the hardware security isn't the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.

Big fan of Medito -- I appreciate that it's a nonprofit.

Gotta take mandatory breaks at least every 4 hours.

I mean at a subconscious level, they have feelings for each other -- a good chunk of the show is them dancing around that concept. That being said, all they both know is that it's a marriage of convenience -- neither knows the full identity of the other.

Yor constantly worries she won't measure up to Loid's needs, and that's a risk to government scrutiny by the secret police. Loid worries his relationship with Yor doesn't look airtight, and could compromise Operation Strix. Everything they do publicly to prove their relationship is legit is an act in which any enjoyment is a secondary benefit (like the scene above).
