JFK and Biden both had Irish Catholic ancestry and were afforded favor with at least half of Ireland based on that.

K/M/G/T/P = decimal prefixes. K is 1000. M is 1,000,000. etc.

Ki/Mi/Gi/Ti/Pi = binary prefixes. Ki is 2¹⁰ (1024), Mi is 2²⁰ (1,048,576), etc.

It's a disambiguation of the previous system where we would use KB to interchangeably mean 1000 or 1024 depending on context.

The American way would probably be still using the units you listed but still meaning 1024, just to be confusing.

American here. This is actually the proper way. KB is 1024 bytes. MB is 1024 KB. The terms were invented and used like that for decades.

Moving to 'proper metric' where KB is 1000 bytes was a scam invented by storage manufacturers to pretend to have bigger hard drives.

And then inventing the KiB prefixes was a soft-bellied capitulation by Europeans to those storage manufacturers.

Real hackers still use Kilo/Mega/Giga/Tera prefixes while still thinking in powers of 2. If we accept XiB, we admit that the scummy storage vendors have won.

Note: I'll also accept that I'm an idiot American and therefore my opinion is stupid and invalid, but I stand by it.

we might be terrorists, but we still take our shoes off when we walk in the house.

I was kidding, too! I've got a few thousand hours in Path of Exile. I just like to confuse the two when the opportunity arises 🤣

haha, I LOVE Pillars of Eternity! I'll have to make a category just for that one!

Y'all need to get cracking on those incubators that can grow a whole-ass child from a couple of cells outside of a human womb. Otherwise, you're just advocating for modern-day slavery. Poor look, my dude.

Is my link not going to the original image source of the 2 people?

You can look up "2 goth girls pointing meme" if you are asking for a blank meme template.

Slow your roll there, cowboy!

Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Sometimes it's fixed through diet/exercise. Sometimes it's fixed through therapy. Sometimes it's fixed through medication. OP is seeking a solution that doesn't involve prescription meds, so everybody is suggesting other possible solutions. While exercise may not have worked for you or me, there are plenty of people who have successful results with it.

In short, yes, it definitely varies across people.

That's common, and why therapy works in a lot of cases, but not universal. Sometimes a chemical imbalance is only balanced with chemicals.

They're rad, and you don't notice the crease when the screen is displaying anything. I've had the zFold4 and now the 5 and I love it.

Fair. I can only speak about my lived experience. It may have faded from the public eye, but when I was living in the states, just saying the word "kneel" would have gotten half the population frothing at their mouth.

FULL BOAT, THREES! HAH!

If you're unfamiliar with America and it's traditions, I can see your point. Americans don't need the extra visual aid. "Kneeling for the flag" only means one thing.
