Fixed my son's computer by shredding all evidence of Microsoft off his computer and installing Linux Devuan OS. Fortunatly his files were all stored on his separate ssd dut to a previous issue.
poker, without the money, isn't much different from any other card game. We used to play poker as a family game with a butter tub of pennies that all went back into the pot when we were done. It's very similar to rummy or bridge. Part skill part luck. Like pretty much any board game.
Don't forget that they have power shortages and strict rationing in that equation. So at the end of the day they have 75% solar but it is not adequate for the population.
Faux fur retail costs 20-45 dollars a yard and requires a multithread overlock machine. Liner fabric costs 1-4 dollars a yard and requires less skill and a plain (single stitch) machine. Obviously they will be paying wholesale prices but the cost difference remains. The real difference in the costs between China and the US is the labour. Americans want cheap prices at the store but a living wage at their job. China is the capital of slave labour and Americans are supporting it with their wallets.
Most of the comments below are citing statistics for Canada or the whole Province of Quebec,not Montreal, which is like using the US housing statistics for NYC.
Tourism is a major industry in Montreal, probably as much as venice and Kyoto with year long festivals and the fact that it is an Island is also an issue.
Montreal is a fully developed Island. Your arguement doesn't make sense.Montreal has become unaffordable for the workers who support the tourism and blue collar industries.
LA's Totally Awesome carpet cleaner from the dollar tree. I was holding a bottle trying to get a stain out of my daughter's bedding and saw one. I was so mad by then I sprayed at the sucker and it instantly keeled over. No clue what's in the stuff but it saved my sanity.
cloudflare blocked me from signing in to my petflow account to buy cat food. It was in an endless verification loop. Awhile back it did the same with my paid crunchyroll subscription. I don't code, I have a very ordinary setup with a well known browser. Apparently cloudflare now owns our access to the internet and can block whom it pleases, when it pleases, no recourse. The internet is soon to be available only to those who fit cloudflare's criteria, whatever that may be, as long as companies keep buying in to the third party control.
If you shop by researching brand rather than price, you will find there are still good companies out there. Lots of cheap stuff is junk, some expensive stuff is junk. Even within brands there are differences. My fancy four wide slot cuisinart toaster has survived 20 years, lots of use many moves and getting slightly squished in an overstuffed trunk and is still going strong. Cuisinart coffee makers, however, lose their marbles at any power flickering, never mind outages. We can bemoan the onslaught of junk that we keep buying and therefore helping it grow, or just maybe we could put our money into companies that still make good stuff through some consumer research instead of believing the advertised 'best deal'.
Town centers with a concentration of pedestrians , bikes and vehicles are going to have a higher rate of accidents no matter what you do. Separating the through traffic from the town centers kills the town centers...route 66 anybody? The focus should be on being more concientious drivers and having respect for the place you are driving in. Lack of respect isn't going to be fixed by dividing up and killing the heart of town centers.
abusive child porn is easy to find, we should have that on a fun easy entry level site like github...it's called a slippery slope, if no moral line is drawn, where do we end up?
Not even close. It takes down a whole computer. My son downloaded a file he thought was a friend he hadn't heard from for awhile to look at the project he was working on. Had to wipe the computer. Fortunately his brother had the skills to save his files and check that they were clean. They also used his card to charge steam account stuff. Had to warn all his friends he had been infected and nuke his discord including his own server. Had to get a new bank card.
hmmm so when you do projects with people and someone you haven't heard from in a while shows up and wants to show you what they are working on your first thought should be to grill them in the third degree and ask them the color of their underwear to make sure it's them...
better homes and garden cookbook with the red and white checkered cover. The basics are all there and the ingredient lookup is in the index. Say I lookup potato, all the potato recipes are in the index. It also offers substitutions. I have an older version and a newer version.
Salt to taste, cook until brown, kneed until the dough is no longer sticky, everything about cooking is tasting and feeling. Moreover everybody has differences in their tastes and consistency preferences. Good recipe books teach you how to use ingredients and apply that knowledge to recipes and how to modify those recipes to your personal preferences. Sure an LLM can generate novel recipes but without the premise of taste, texture and food pairing tuned in to personal preference, the novel recipe is a crap shoot in the dark. The reality is, the more you learn to cook, the less you need recipes and a good cookbokk will teach you alot more than a pile of recipes.
There are alot of bad recipes floating around out there. Recipe books are often geared to teaching you how to cook not just what to cook. There's techniques to cooking that affect how recipes come out. A good recipe book will teach you how to treat ingredients, how they interact with each other and then give you ideas on how to put them together.
The US has a very large bike riding community and a very robust bike stealing crime rings. They steal them in one area and sell them in another or to bike shops who turn a blind eye. Plenty of people rely on bicycles to get to work or get groceries. It just doesn't seem so because the country is very large and in some areas the weather or terrain is just not practical.
