For me, I haven't bought a new graphics card in a long time. I have a RX 580 that I bought used for $200 CAD. My next upgrade will be my motherboard since I'm still using a 1150 socket and I'm stuck using DDR3 RAM and an outdated CPU (Intel i5-4460).
I can still play newish games at low settings and that's fine for me right now. I'm not buying a GPU at current retail price, fuck that. It's crazy that the best time to build a PC was 2015.
I used short essays and short stories to get back into reading, maybe that approach would help you. They're really old, but try A Modest Proposal or some of the satirical essays by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), they're short and sweet and inspire a desire for more.
Why should I know that? It doesn't seem helpful for everyday life whatsoever except maybe as trivia.
Yeah, I've been learning Russian for fun and it's been helpful in a few very small contexts like this one.
It's funny to me that "and it's good" had to be said because most of his ideas are so horrible and stupid.
Yeah, that happens during trade wars. I'm prepared for things to get a lot worse before they improve (if they ever do). Rapid inflation, here we come!
"I want to know how much I have to work" gives off vibes that you generally put in the minimum effort and want to know if you will actually have to try tomorrow.
This appears not to be correct, but that's just how people see that particular phrase. It offended her that your question appeared to imply that the level of workload affects your willingness to work in that unit. To mitigate what she perceived as your reluctance to do hard work, she called your manager to make sure that she didn't have to work with you.
Consider the reason behind your question. Would an accurate answer have actually affected your day? Most people don't have the luxury of knowing what tomorrow will look like. I understand the desire to be prepared and to know what will be thrown at you beforehand, since I'm neurodivergent too, but often these questions are for our own comfort and an answer is not actually necessary.
I guess? You could instead link the post, that doesn't ping anyone and offers contextual information to other commenters since it was directly asked. If OP wanted to keep it private so that no one would know, they probably wouldn't have posted it on the public internet.
But it's kind of quaint/endearing that you wanted to protect their "privacy," though. Not a bad attitude at all, it's just not common practice since people don't tend to accidentally make posts about things they want to keep secret.
Mentioning a user isn't doxxing, they literally picked that username to use publicly. Doxxing is leaking personally identifying information, like their real name, home address, phone number, workplace, etc.
It's funny that he's trying to imply that he's reacting to our tariffs by saying the US ones are reciprocal, but then immediately contradicts that by (correctly) identifying ours as retaliatory.
Which is it, Don? How do we retaliate against something we allegedly started? Stupid fucking lying bastard. US stocks are plummeting and I hope it continues. FAFO.
You said yourself that 1/4 of people don't live in Whitehorse. Travelling around Yukon isn't easy, quick, or cheap. Mail services are being trialled and I think that's a lot better of a solution than offering it for free at one place and for $300-500 everywhere else.
You're also being rude and vague at the same time, which is a horrible combination for being understood. Take a breath and actually make a real point instead of allusions to one.
Nice, looks like a bit more care went into the visual presentation in comparison to Project Gutenberg. Thanks for sharing.
