Off topic, but if you’re able to upgrade that storage, the price is pretty low right now.
A crucial 500GB 2.5 SSD is on sale for $35.
M2/nvme drives are on sale too.
Pretty much every holiday inn I stay at for work has had a decent breakfast. They run 6:30 to 9 and keeps things well stocked at least until 8 (I’m never there later)
They’ve all had the same “menu”, plus or minus a few things. They tend to rotate the hot items every otherday.
- An omelet thing, cheese or veggie
- Scrambled eggs
- Home Frys
- Gravey and bisket
- Sausage and/or bacon
- A 1-minute pancake machine that usually works…kind of
- Ceareal
- fruit
- A juice machine
- Coffe
- Hot water
- Hot cocoa packs
- Tea pouches
- Milk cartons (these are usually terrible, a lot are weird “organic” brands or “skimed to be 90% water”)
- Yogurt
- Bagles, English muffins, and toast
- Cinnamon rolls
- Muffin
Shouldn’t it be “The F* Off Cologne”?
Edit: I read it out loud, I get it now.
Note for the non-americans who use significantly better measuring systems.
- Awg = american wire gauge, I.e wire diameter.
- 18awg = 1mm diameter
- 16 = 1.3mm
- 14 = 1.6mm
- 12 = 2.1mm
- Yes smaller numbers are thicker wires.
Besides the electrocution hazard, another problem (in the US) is that someone allowed non fused 16 and 18 gauge extension cables on the market. We should only have 14 and 12 (or start putting fuses on the cords like some other countries)
14 should be for “light duty” like electronics or lamps. What you don’t tell people is that pretty much anything inside the house will run fine on 14awg wire.
12 for everything “heavy duty”.
The idea is people use the same wire that matches what their breakers are rated for. A 20amp breaker doesn’t know that the 100ft 18 gauge extension cord feeding 3 surge protectors with every kitchen device and the “diy powered garage” is going to melt long before 20amps.
Is it overkill? yes. If you draw too much current will the wire overheat and burn down your house? Not if the breaker trips first.
I’ve been using Thorium recently with no issues. Before I was using Vivaldi.
Edit, Firefox is my main browser. Thorium is used as an alt for the 2 websites that don’t work in Firefox.
Edit 2; seems the developer of Thorium has made some err questionable choices. Not with the browser itself, but a mild furry nsfw easter egg, and a link to some site talking about their beliefs against a common medical procedure performed on baby boys. I have not seen either for myself as they have both been removed as the browser gained a sudden spike in popularity.
With the Sheet Metal Gauge!
It’s the same as wire gauge, but the scale is different per material!
For steel
- 16g = 1.5mm
- 22g = .75mm
- And so on
Pretty much anything larger than 1/8th of an inch (3.2mm), we just use the measurement (in inches).
Why? Because we don’t have a common measurement unit smaller than an inch. There probably is one, but no one commonly uses it. Coming up with a gauge scale is actually easier than say .0123 inch thick. Say “12 gauge wire” and everyone (who knows about it), knows exactly what you’re talking about.
Pretty much anything below 1/32 (0.8mm) of an inch, we’ll switch to decimals. 0.0001 inch is valid with no common way to make that neater. No such thing as 1 mili-inch.
Remind me, what is the cost of living in Europe?
Because a parent should have the right to monitor their child’s internet exposure just as our parents told us we couldn’t watch R movies or play violent video games…imagine for two seconds she didn’t have innocent pictures of a video game character, but the parent found she was in contact with a groomer and sending pics. Maybe she’s the bad one getting into drugs, or bullying other kids. It’s a parents job to intervene and to help their kid - you can’t do that if you don’t know what’s going on.
How many stories have you heard about cyber-bulling, grooming, or “send me a pic” scams that led to suicide or other terrible outcomes? - way too many. In a lot of the post-interviews, the parents responses are always something like “I never knew this was happening, my 9 year old Billy was so happy the 20 minutes a day I saw him outside of his room. I never imagined that his ‘online friends’ on 4chanclone77 were telling him to send pics and that he should die everyday.”
For a kid its protection over privacy everyday - same reason that you might want to know if your kid is spending a lot of “extracurricular time” at the teacher’s house.
Once they’re a teen the training wheels slowly come off until they’re not needed, hopefully by 14, after they’ve been taught about the dark side of the world and how to protect themselves from that crap, and know that they can come to me with any problem no matter what, weather they caused it or not, and I’ll help them figure it out.
