Better late than never, even if this is almost guaranteed to be an NDP effort.

I noticed in all of this that you haven't done a fsck on the partition yet. This will tell you more than fdisk and likely fix the problem for you.

Because app developers have to jump through a lot of hoops to get into the app store, and even if every single app was pulled then the developers would have to jump through all those hoops again. And this time, Apple won't make it easy. Meanwhile, they are hemorrhaging money for every minute their app is not on the app store. On the other hand, Apple would give incentives to new applicants to replace everything that was pulled, and the app store returns to relatively normal within 24 hours since there are tons of apps out there that just aren't popular enough to be on the app store at the moment. Would you want to be the first developer to pull their app?

I would bet real money that these toothpicks have more nutritional value than Cheetos.

Let's do some hypothetical scenarios. If you're making $80k a year, your take home pay is roughly $5k a month. Spending $2k a month on rent leaves you with $3k for everything else. If you make $200k+, your take home pay is closer to $10k a month or more. If your rent is $4k a month, that leaves you with $6k for everything else that pretty much costs the same as the area where you're only making $80k. Even at $6k/month for rent, you still have more money. Automatically, it's better to take the higher paying job with the higher rent.

Steroids. Lots and lots of steroids. His body is just bigger and makes his head look small.

Brand is HP/Samsung.

There's really only one solution. Dump it and buy a old Brother laser jet. HP printers are specifically designed to make it as difficult as possible to use unless you use it exactly the way they want you to use it. And you're trying to use it in a way they don't approve. Specifically, you're trying to use a Samsung branded printer in an area where only the HP version is sold. I know it's convoluted, I know it's a minor distinction. But this is just how HP works. And it's best that you accept it and move on before you waste anymore money on it.

Edit: Proof...

You could look at it as a currency conversion, then buying a product with that new currency.

Yes, that's how money laundering works. Whether it's crypto, gold, or fine art, the end result is still the same. You get drugs, they get clean cash, everyone is happy.

Are you really "buying" something with crypto in that case, or is it just a complicated money laundering scheme?

Conveniently timed just as contract negotiations are coming up.

Small yet essential tip:

If you're one of the last 5 left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers have been laid off, take the hint and move on. The company is circling the bowl. You will be left with nothing when they go under, as the execs cash out what's left of the company and creditors take the rest. Even if the company is sold and the new company seems to take you on, usually the leftover people will be laid off once knowledge transfer is complete. Don't think that you have any specialized knowledge that they can't afford to let go...new execs generally don't care about that, they only look at the bottom line. Someone cheaper can and will do your job.
