Well, depending on your use case, you might not care. If you want casual power point editing on your laptop, just slap a cheap key and it will work fine, buy another one for your home desktop and you are still <10% of a "genuine" licence. If you change your pc just buy a new one and you might even find a newer version. As for the MS account, I don't know anyone who uses it for office licence sharing, so I can't tell about it
You can buy legit office keys for like 4$ on many sites. It might just be a couple years old
12 years ago we got two sibling kittens, an orange male and a black female. I never celebrated their birthday, but this post reminded me of them :)
The black one is still with us, getting a little old but doing quite fine. The orange one disappeared some 4 years ago. I just hope he was unhappy and found a better place, because we once saw him some time after he was gone.
We need to, because they are the only ones fighting against Chrome monopoly. It's so sad to read news like this
You see the bad sex education when you think "a good girl" is the one not having sex. Sex is perfectly normal and teenagers will have sex, at least teach them about it
We are in a time where a single invention can rarelt be great. For technological development you need thousands of small inventions, each that use previous technological breakthrough through decades of research. And even great things we have, are just refinement and miniaturization of things we already had.
But if a single thing had to be said, I would say mRNA vaccines. Covid vaccines saved milions of lives, were developed in record times, and their technology could be used for HIV or even antitumoral vaccines.
Fritz Haber, the Veritasium video about him is fascinating (The Man who Killed Milioms and Saved Bilions). He developed the chemical process to efficiently synthesize ammonia, one of the key discoveries that allowed mass adoption of fertilizers and the incredibly rapid growth of the human population in the 20th century (you could say that thanks to him, bilions of people could live and be fed by modern agriculture).
Tragically, he also had a fundamental role in developing chemical weapons during WWI, although he belived their use would reduce the number of deaths as army would simply avoid gassed zones, so who knows if he really intended and believed in the milions of deaths he caused. Ironically, he also helped developing Zyklon B during the rise of nazism (while it was still used as a pesticide), but was quickly forced to flee from Germany because of jewish origin. Later, his last invention would be used to kill even more people.
I thought it was something like "get a hooker for your dad", didn't notice it was a shein ad
Open source software in general is getting incredibly complex. While big companies mopolized the software industry at the end of the century, now the most widely used technologies are completely open source (kvm, linux, docker, apache, ssh, c++, rust), which means that everyone has access to it and can use it for personal or light commercial use without too much cost and hassle. Sure, companies still monopolize, but only because they offer hardware and services at a big scale, if you want to have an indipendent space on the internet, this would be the perfect time
All of the Star Trek show, especially TNG, Voyager and Emterprise, because I've watched them so many times when I was a kid at my grandparent's house.
I was fascinated by the various captains. They were always so smart, capable, full of resources, curious, charismatic and generally great leaders, mostly coherent with their morals. They were basically badass scientist explorers and I identified so much with them without even realizing it.
Now whenever I find myself in any leadership position, I ask myself what they would do. I could choose to be logical and intellectual like Picard, empathetic like Janeway or brave like Archer. This shaped me more than I could ever imagine.
I mean what is really shitty apart from the high fees? The platform is good, the library is good, the services for gamers are unparalleled
That's right. We theorized the effects shortly after the first coal power plant, and we have observed the effects for a century now. Yet the response has been minimal, to say the least
I see what they want to do: no sane insurance company will provide such contracts unless they either:
Any of those will of course disincentivize people from owning guns, which is a good thing, but it's crazy that a state has to offload these controls to a private company because there is no political willingness to do it in the right way.
Everything marketed audiophiles, not only gold plated cables, but also anything that uses vacuum tubes because "they sound better"
Just a remainder that auto subscribing to a newsletter is illegal in an entire continent now (thanks GDPR). So no, reporting as spam something that is literally spam is not wrong.
It happened to me when in the middlw of falling asleep, no drug involved except for some good sleep deprivation. You can see with your eyes closed, pretty trippy
I mean, there are tons of perfectly good, useful and well-moderated community. It's not unlike reddit or lemmy
Ten rules that poor people must follow
Semi means half, so it's the opposite
Your comments seems to imply that just using the language is enough to learn it. This is not necesserily true, especially with more complex grammars than english. You need a source to teach you grammar and basic vocabulary, then you use these basics information to roughly understand spoken language and slowly building up your actual vocabulary and consolidate the rules. You cannot skip neither of those two passages
Laminated paper qr codes for long-term storage could last centuries, possibly much more than an hard drive or a flash drive. That would probably outlive any computer it couls be used on, but it's an interesting solution.
Do you watch porn? Porn is monetized sex with the purpose of getting money, and with a high degree of abuse and exploitation might I add. You and I and any law don't get to define the purpose of anything, we only decide wether something is allowed or not. If you want to sell your body for money you should have the freedom to do so, protected by labor laws and health assistance. This is a very good way to reduce the spreading of diseases and reduce the power of exploitative criminals
Empathy. People criticizing each other often make the same "mistakes" that are nothing but normal human behaviour. Once you understand that we are all pretty much equal, you start realizing that most bad things are sistematic. There are few bad people, most people are quite nice and forced (or taught) to behave badly
Well, to amazon credit, they only offer cloud services. If government officials are dumb enough to store confidential documents in webservers without any authentication, it's not Amazon's fault (also, assuming you find real documents, the fact they are indexed by google, means that those links are also stored on publicly accessible pages, like forums or link directories, that's the only legit way it can be found by google crawlers; that's double dumb)
Agree. She fucked up. She made a promise she did not want to honor and didn't have to maturity to do anything other than getting so drunk she wouldn't care
That is the reason why identification documents are needed. How can they hire people without knowing who they are?
Should have clicked Nliesat
Don't forget people urinating on his corpse
This also should be the norm. It doesn't even reduce your drunkness, just makes it more enjoyable and less unconfortable
Added sugar is bad because we don't need all the sugar we tipically consume.
Eating fruits is healthier because you eat other nutrients (such as vitamins) and fibers that fill you faster make you eat less (while providing other benefits to your gastrointestinal system). A pure friot juice is more filling, contains more nutrients and less calories than sugary water with fruit additives and colorants, because as other said pure sugar is pure energy but doesn't have nutrients, only calories. If you consume very little it's the same (only as in calories) as eating a larger amount of fruits, but the little part is the problem usually.
Eating too much fruit is also unhealthy, and can still be diabetic, it's just much harder, more expensive and less convenient to consume unhralthy amounts of food rather than sugar.
That's why I'm saying that a single invention that changed the world is not something you can easily find anymore.
Just invret two letters in a wrod that are not the first or the last. You will read just fine and prboably not even notice. Like this cmoment you just read
How would random laywers have access to your number?
The world is complicated and difficult to navigate. Stories usually give you a simplified world where it's easier to understand and relate to. Just think of most religious stories and myths, they exist to explain something unexplainable (how the world was created) or how to behave in a society (cautionary tales and parabolas)
They immeditaly jump back in and get more and more skeletified
Smart TVs and cae infotainnent systems, for sinilar reasons. Full of bloat, so many bugs and unreliable functioning.
I am talking about most porn, which is, coincidentally, hetero "mainstream" porn (because most people are hetero and because the most mainstream porn is of the abusive type), but only because that's how it is in general.
Also my main point was about money being the main reason behind porn, and that applies to video games, erotica and non-abusive pornographic materials.
17.6m was probably the maximum allowed width, but it was possible to pass through with bigger ships, but my guess is that insurance companies would not like it very much
Globally, it'g gone up. The US is not representative of the entire planet
