The fact they need OpenVpn to solve their dev problems really gives me little faith in their backend. It’s serviceable for now, but they will disappear overnight at the first sign of trouble. Potential buyers should look elsewhere.

Nord will fuck you over first opportunity and their stock client is horrible. Glance at their 1 page of service agreement and never look back

This is an unedited photo using a full spectrum modified camera with a special infrared filter. Essentially you add the non-visable ir and uv light, then block out anything below 680nm (so you only get red and non-visable light). It can lead to some cool effects

Seeker, you learned your people’s language and then learned the way of the world.

I set this up for seamless commits:

function gao() {
     git add .
     git commit -a -m "$*"
     git push origin `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
 }

Usage: gao fixing a typo

1:32 RC car maybe?

My boss had starlink and we used to joke that it was an elaborate plot to get out of meetings/awkward conversations.

Depends on which social skills. Regardless of the end goal, you need to start with empathy and consider the other persons situation. Importantly, that they might not be looking for new friends. Be ready to face rejection and that’s nothing wrong with you.

Your first goal is to Open or start a conversation, and hopefully keep the other person engaged long enough to let the relationship develop and grow. Typically this is as simple as listening, complimenting or “peacocking” or standing out in attempt to attract the same. Speak your mind, you are trying to find your people! If you comment on appearance be polite, indirect, and be sure not to objectify the person not ~“nice ass”, aim for “I love your anime shirt!”. It’s going to take some attempts before it feels more natural. That works out because you need to engage with a lot of people. Note: If you can’t find people, you need to start a hobby.

Next goal is to engage the person and act interested, at this stage you should celebrate opening. Few things to try to keep in mind: Eye contact, questions, active listening, repeating to assert understanding, mirroring, match vocal tone/pitch. But most importantly “Yes and”. This means, accept their addition and add to it. Shutting stuff down is easy, contributing is hard. You are trying to build.

Lastly close. Did you have fun, did you share energy? Tell them! Validate that feeling and ask for a followup contact information. From here you will need to balance give and take in the relationship and try to make it mutually beneficial.

My favorite openers:

• What are you passionate about today
• When/what really pissed you off recently
• You made me smile, are you looking for new friends
• Relevant comment based on location/accessories
• I’m bored, got any stories

Atm Xbox is my most reliable media player. PlayStation isn’t quite there, but would be a nice to have. My parents aren’t very tech literate and they use their smart TV/cable box. I have a friend with an older Roku/smart stick that’s incompatible. Have they added an app for Apple TV yet?

I need client side apps and easily sharing libraries with remote friends. Both are pretty hard to give up and not quite there yet.

For managers at Amazon potentially, especially if they are in-office in larger cities with technical backgrounds. They might be quoting the recruiting number with benefits, it’s usually close to 1.5-2x the gross salary. They also might be doing fancy amortizing math just to make it sound better than it actually is. They can also claw back pre-allocated project dollars by prorating 5 year contracts for anything terminated early so they can claim multiple years off a single contract / project. Still likely going to cost them a lot more than that, when they realize it’s not going work out; even if it’s only for managers.

Everyone appears to be telling you to skip it, but they don’t understand the question. You’ll be cutting moisture and binding agents, you can replace it with an egg but that will add more rise, or by replacing it with a 1:3 ground-flax-seed:water after letting it sit for 5 min.

Go to Ali Express, and filter through the “mp3” results. They will cost less than $10, be made of the cheapest material possible but meet your requirements. Otherwise you are thrift store shopping

I would recommend a food journal, odds are that you have a mild allergy to something like mustard or sesame with a 24 hour delay.

I’ve done 2 of the technix cars 1000-2000 pieces. They are fun but expensive. They take up a lot of space when you are done. The Ferrari had a lot of loose pieces for the price. As others have mentioned, look into led kits before you build it.
