This is why it is so super important to educate kids on media and tech literacy. They need to understand that YouTube is not the only source of videos, that you can not only buy your stuff on Amazon, and that Google is not the only place to search.
They need to know that nothing is free, and that they are being monitored. And that there are choices.
I was super mad with our kid's school, because they only allowed the kids to have Microsoft office. It's not about the tools - they'll change by the time they graduate - but about the results.
I tried out sky (well, actually wowtv) and the absolute deal breaker for me was that the races are not viewable on demand. I also got for IndyCar, and canceled my subscription the next day because of that.
Docs have this image of an honest and durable working boot, but now they're more like sneakers.
I've even had a pair where a big toe stuck right through the midsole into the air pocket. And this was a week after getting them.
You might have more luck with their "made in England" shoes, but in that price range there are other alternatives. If you like the look, check out Solovair.
Afterwards he was pretty off the pace He was consistently slower than Noris. At first I thought he just had slow targets, maybe he had tire management issues, I have no idea.
The 90s were peak gaming for me - a lot a creative things were going on, new genres being explored. And we were spoilt for choice with all the blatant piracy.
But if I had to choose one game that really blew me away, that would be Thief.
I have fond memories of friends coming over, all huddled together in front of my 15" monitor to figure out our way through Riven. Those eureka moments where we were like "wow! These are symbols for a base 5 number system!"
Because you, as an employee, have a choice. Have you been asked to do something unethical, something that violates your principles?
That happened to me in my previous job. I told my team and reported it to my superiors. My refusal got me a personal audience with the CEO. But when another thing happened that got me asking around. And when that guy got promoted, our whole team left.
Our Samsung color laser AIO was getting flaky, especially for net access. I replaced it with an Epson EcoTank AIO and it's been absolutely hassle-free.
I was apprehensive at first, because using inkjet printers back in the 90s was just painful. But so far, never had clogging and hardly ever had a paper jam. I'd say the running costs are comparable or lower than laser.
Color laser printers always run out of yellow because they inline a yellow fingerprint. AFAIK this isn't the case with inkjets. So savings and additional privacy there.
Try to stop using disposable plastic as far as possible. No cups, bags, spoons, straws. Use reusable bags when shopping, and when shopping, check how the stuff is packaged. Get as much as possible of your stuff in glass bottles, and recycle them. Use waxcloth instead of plastic wrap. Buy larger packages. If you have a cheese or meat counter, get your stuff there. The might even let you bring your own tupperware.
I am born German but didn't grow up there and couldn't even speak it until I was about 16.
Anyway, there was this was girl I crushed so hard on. Mysterious, long black curly hair. Couldn't muster up the courage to talk to her, but we had some common friends. And they told me the girl would also like to get to know me.
Thanks to them we arranged a date, but Ms. Mysterious didn't show up. And afterwards she just ignored me. Of course I was an absolute wreck and couldn't understand what the problem was.
So I asked our friends and they said, poor kid don't you realize why? No of course not? Well, she's Israeli, you're German, her father found out and put an end to it.
Back when I was smoking I got a Zippo because it was cool. Refilling fuel and replacing flints got old, but the taste of gas in your mouth was just the worst.

I've collected almost all Ghibli films and love to watch them with the family!
