At the same time, the Commodore Amiga had built-in stereo 44.1kHz 16-bit sound...

Toddlers are plenty rebellious already, it's just a different kind. Teenagers rebel against authority. Toddlers rebel against their own existence.

Yeah but that's an average, you never know when he's going to double up one week so he can take the next one off...

Would you have accepted "righty tighty lefty loosely"?

Fahrenheit is fine for temperatures that humans can experience in our environment (and expect to survive, at least for a little while...)

Where wolf?

including the dak side of it.

I assume you mean dark- but there is no dark side, the moon rotates with respect to the sun as it goes around the earth, so it has a day / night cycle of about a month.

I've worked a lot of different jobs over the years, some well in my skill set, some well outside, and if there's one thing I've noticed, it's that with very few exceptions, knowledge and skills matter very little, what matters most is sucking up to the boss, a skill I am exceedingly bad at. Interestingly enough, one of the jobs where skill mattered most was construction, even when I worked for my uncle, he barely cut me any breaks. He once said "you hammer like old people fuck". Not to mention the number of times he yelled at me because I was shit with a tape measure. "Cut it 3 times and it's still too short". Yeah nepotism didn't help me there.

I live in a suburb to the east of Phoenix. I wouldn't even consider a job on the west side. Nothing to do with Europe, just the reality of a large city.

I mean, that doesn't rule anything out...

Every day and everyday mean different things, so maybe not the best example.

Please tell me why

Flying is easy. It's surviving the landing that's difficult.

The only question is, one at a time, or all at once?

Weight does not affect orbit. It affects the amount of fuel needed to reach orbit, and therefore cost, but not the orbit itself.

Having worked in the financial industry for many years, I'm betting this has more to do with security than performance. Timeout before your screen locks is ridiculously short - you could be reading something, therefore not moving your mouse, then your screen locks, and you have to put in your password to unlock it. Then there's the nature of call center work, if you're not super busy, you might have a few minutes between calls, but when one comes in, you have to be immediately ready for it, not sitting there typing an overly complex password while an impatient customer is trying to give you all their information right away before you can take it down .. so I totally get the usefulness of a mouse jiggler. I wrote my own in Java way back when- actually it didn't jiggle the mouse, it was simpler to simulate a benign keypress, but same effect. I wrote it myself because I couldn't download one, any reputable site that I might get one from was blocked- but who knows, if I hadn't had the knowledge to write it, I might have been more motivated to find one, any one, any way, and that of course is a big nono- that's how keyloggers and shit like that end up compromising systems and leaking millions of passwords and/or credit card numbers... So I get why the company is concerned, even though I don't care.

More, even.

Also the basis of quantum immortality...

I'm about your size- I was comfortable in a Mini Cooper. I still regret trading it in.

Black bears are the most “cowardly”, but all three will fuck you up to protect their young

Eh, not really... Black bear cubs are quite capable of climbing trees, the mother will definitely make her displeasure known to you, but it's mainly for show.

Source: I once unwittingly startled a mama black bear and her cubs, ended up falling flat on my back so I was quite vulnerable, she could have easily torn me apart if she wanted to, but she just charged at me, stopped about 6 feet away grumbling, stomped the ground, and clacked her teeth at me. The cubs were up their trees faster than squirrels.
