Same here, back in the 90's had multiple year's worth of Nintendo Power magazines & later on Game Pro as well. I do remember seeing Game Informer around & sometimes bought those issues but never really got into them. I can't even think of any friends that had Game Informer magazines back in those days.
TBH I'm kind of surprised at those numbers /u/[email protected] posted, maybe Game Informer was a bigger thing outside of the northeast U.S. where I was.
Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city.
If it's that close you then essentially you'll need to decide whether to die quick or slow :/
If you're actually planning on surviving you'd need to stay in an underground bunker or something similar for at least 3-5 weeks to be safe enough to travel outside (and we're assuming you have clean sources of food/water, bathroom, etc, during that time). If you make it that far then afterwards you'd likely want to go outside & get as far away from the radiation zone as possible.
Coincidentally the basement of my work building actually has a fallout shelter sign from back in the day so the basement might survive a blast but I don't see how I'd make it 3-5 weeks without being extra prepared for that beforehand.
Haha reminds me of Death Star Repairmen, classic fan film
Screenshot the QR codes & save offline to a USB disk. Alternatively some people do print them but that only works for people that have printers or access to one. Same with the 2FA backup codes.
Or less ideal you can save them somewhere secure on your desktop/laptop/whatever, just keep in mind if you get hacked or get malware/whatever then it's game over.
Wow that's a useful list of things they accept for recycling. It's a total PITA to recycle anything electronics related in my city especially stuff like computers & hard drives let alone cables. That may end up getting me inside a Staples more often than once every year or two so maybe their plan is going to work.
Speaking of bicycles, as a teenager I was riding my bike through the neighborhood & then started looking at all the pretty clouds up in the sky that day. Then as I lowered my line of sight back to the road I saw the parked car I was riding directly into and slammed right into it. Not sure if anyone witnessed the event but it must have looked cartoonish, or at least something straight out of Jackass.
Luckily got out of that with just a few scrapes and bruises, and a lesson to always watch the road.
TIL :)
Did a quick google search before commenting & saw people talking about not being able to find Aveeno in Europe so wasn't too sure. Maybe that just applies to other countries beyond the Ireland / UK area.
Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions
Pay attention to what women are using, aside from dealing with make up the skin care routine isn't that different.
In the shower I use a daily foaming face cleanser. Using soap is worse on facial skin (ends up causing more breakouts, etc.).
I use bar soap for the rest of my shower routine.
In the mornings and evenings I moisturize dry skin areas (mainly hands and lips).
Before shaving I always exfoliate.
In the U.S. I tend to use Aveeno products for that stuff but you should be able to find equivalents of those things in Europe.
But I listened to all the “sensible” people and went for a graduate level program instead like an idiot
Oof, yeah similar situation though for me it was more around 20-21. Went to college for about 2-3 years, wasn't doing too great with the required calculus classes & sort of dropped out. The upside was during that same time I landed a full time job in IT & was getting paid plenty, had a 401k, all that stuff.
But the "sensible" people around me (aka the boomer parents/uncles/etc. with their lifetime pensions) kept telling me to stop working & go back to school. That got into my head & eventually I quit my well paid job, burned another 2-3 years on school before realizing that just wasn't going to work out for me. Then cashed out my 401k to pay off those school loans.. those same "sensible" people didn't tell me anything about retirement savings & I was too young & dumb to understand that stuff back then.
Nowadays I'm okay & don't have any debt. But all that essentially meant I started over with my career later in life & am still trying to catch up with retirement savings.
I don't think so? Unless something changed recently that site wasn't even federated with anything, it was (is?) just it's own standalone website. In the beginning the dev/owner couldn't even decide how to display posts/conversations & changed the display format a few times.
I remember for a while the dev/owner would use throwaway Reddit accounts to spam his website every time people were discussing Reddit alternatives, like "hey you should check out this one, it's great!" sort of spam. The spam was enough to turn me off from creating an account there.. and realistically it didn't look like it was going to gain any real traction.
This stuff about the owner going alt-right is news to me, it's been off my radar so long I never bothered checking if it still existed.
That sounds about right, the people actually dealing with training AI models don't get paid a whole lot. OP's $15.50 is actually pretty good compared to the low wage tasks people are doing on Amazon MTurk e.g https://www.sciencefocus.com/future-technology/artificial-intelligence-quietly-relies-on-workers-earning-2-per-hour
But otherwise yeah I agree, it's kind of a crap job. I don't have any good advice for OP beyond just keep looking for jobs, once they find something new dump this one for sure.
Agreed, though I've found that usually dousing a fly in water (via spray bottle) is enough to surprise them & get them to drop. Once they've fallen it takes them a bit to dry themselves & get airborne again, that's usually enough time to swat it and finish the job.
That works well if you just have one or a few flies - if you've got a ton of them fly paper is going to work much better.
