Alcohol here. The word you're looking for is "heroin"

That's what "they" want. This isn't going to be a negative to hardcore trump loyalists.

Note: limit of 500 "sorry" cards and 75 kisses for the entire class action suit. You may also opt to receive a free "DNA protection plan" from the same company that fucked everything up in the first place or 75 cents discount on future products (your code expires in 45 minutes).

"American cheese". I searched for an image and conveniently Wikipedia shows one with the clarification that it's an "American cheese single".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese

But, imagine ten or twenty of those individually wrapped slices wrapped together in another bit of plastic.

You can hit an image search for "American cheese singles" and find a lot more examples.

But maybe you get a bonus, worse, problem from the chiro? Got to look on the bright side : D

Pretty much every American I've ever met. Dates on drivers license, bank info, etc - all in MM/DD/YYYY ... or even just MM/DD/YY

I regularly confuse people with YYYY-MM-DD

"There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default"

Fun fact, they short changed the horse:

Over a short period of time, they calculate, a horse can exert up to 14.9 horsepower.

Am old, also out of the loop and would like someone to explain it to me in "grampa" terms.

I only remember TFC, and that was a long time ago

I bailed to signal the day after Facebook bought whatsapp. No regrets and nothing lost :)

I'm also a big digital privacy nut and I can't begin to fathom just broadcasting all my shit to the entire internet... Particularly through a company that is actively analyzing and monetizing it

Ugh, I also have a special hatred for touch screen anything in cars.

Give me fucking knobs and buttons. I don't want to have to stop looking at the road while I drive a 1000kg death machine because I can't adjust the air con without looking.

Ah, I thought that was by design.

I'm running it on phone, tab (long ago), and desktop... What do you mean?

I'm on vacation so I've been posting comments up a storm. Yet I've never seen...K ...blue ball... Other letters? Before.

I'm just here to see Lemmy grow and I like what I see

The relationship with the instructor is something I wanted to touch on but thought I'd maybe rambled too much already.

If it's a good program, they WANT you to succeed and they want to give you every possible advantage. You can show up to class, do the bare minimum, and maybe pass. But going the extra bit and asking good, useful, questions will get you much further.

I've never met an instructor who cares that isn't up for side discussions, private tutoring, and literally anything that helps the student squeeze as much info as possible before, during, and after the class. I have zero respect for anyone who teaches a class and refuses to do anything outside of the prescribed class hours... Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Edit: also if the instructor is working in the industry then they have a network that you can tap into... which is often more important

Be careful about "boot camps", and I say this as someone who teaches at one on the side (coding, not security). A lot of them are kind of like degree mills - pay money, get stamp, maybe worthwhile or maybe worthless.

If you go that route, do a lot of research. The biggest thing I'd look for is that the instructors work in the field full time and teach on the side (because they love sharing info and teaching the next generation). Hire rates for grads is also a good indicator... But take close note of where those hires are at and ask if it's not published.

Any time I've come across these kind of programs where the boot camp instructors only job is teaching, the info is usually 10+ years dated and relatively useless past the absolute basics.

I think I'll continue sticking to "dumb" cars.. at least as much as they're available.

The "smart" fad can go fuck a duck.

I just want to say that you're a MVP for seeding that much for that long. Lots of TBs up there - you've helped out a ton of people.

Thank you.

Hah, yeah, measuring the power usage of everything you need to power and doing the math is part of the fun.

I'm in the same boat - primarily a backup for the fridge/freezer in case of power outage. They've also come in handy for running AC power tools when you're nowhere near an outlet. It made life a lot easier when doing work on a remote cabin that isn't grid tied... Really makes you appreciate how nice it is to have electricity as a labor and time saver.
