I undergo weekly spinal decompression therapy. While not exactly the same as the medieval torture devices, being strapped in and having my spine pulled from both directions with 200lbs of force is pretty close.

And yes, it feels amazing for a second or two.

Dang, I did a Ctrl + F on used but should have considered that as an indicator lol.

A couple weeks after getting it I took it on a 1800 mile road trip. The one I got is a '22 Chevy Bolt EUV, the DC fast charge tech is slower than newer stuff and even older Tesla stuff (caps out at 50KW), but honestly that wasn't that noticeable except toward the end when I started getting impatient. ABRP (A Better Route Planner) and the NACS adapter were definitely confidence boosters.

Hey look, I'm part of this statistic! I think, assuming it factors in used EV sales.

Loving it so far, I get free charging at work and access to the HOV lane as a solo driver. My commute has gone down by about 15 minutes as well.

I know this is satire but it does hurt. Though in my experience my most concerning code reviews are when I review other senior devs code. Unfortunately my company decided senior devs were a tenure thing.

The labeling is "Type-C", with no symbols / logos as best I can tell (going off the video and product page). Deceptive / misleading.

I have used AirVPN for half a decade and never ran into any issues, if you're looking for an alternative with port forwarding.

If you don't want to disable biometric auth, familiarize yourself with your phone and see if it has lockdown mode. Apple phones and most modern Android phones support it, using it will require your password / pin for unlocks. Put it into lockdown mode for the flight.

I work full time at a computer. I have two jobs, so I put in 68 hours a week (second is 28 hours a week, no overlap).

I have no issues with eye fatigue best I can tell, that or I've just gotten so used to it. I will note I do have the blue light filter on my glasses lenses my optician recommended.

Ditto. API thing was transition as well

Considering the little girl brought it in, it's definitely more plausible she wouldn't notice the magnet. And considering the amount of parents who give hamsters as pets and never take any responsibility over it themselves, even more so.

But I'd also assume, with no real insight into the behavior of hamsters, that one in this situation would wind up either tearing it's cheek off (depending on the strength of the magnet) or figuring out it can dislodge / move enough to free it.

I find no discouragement of strategy in the game. Higher numbers don't always win, unless they're sufficiently high enough. I can design a fleet with weapon and armor/shield focuses to counter theirs, as well as choosing the engagement style (via the combat computer modes in the ship designer) to counter theirs.

If I don't want to strategize I can simply wait longer for a bigger fleet and newer tech, but if I want to take on enemies larger than me, especially early game, I have to take the time to strategize.

There's the book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23282027-750-years-in-paris

Not sure if it qualifies, but might help with finding.
