aren't pretty much all Li(Fe)Po cells made cheaply in China?

Yeah, I do agree it's a fair bit of Apple-bashing. I've also learned by reading through other replies in this thread that apparently Apple's standby mode is very reliable and consumes <1W. It's apparently also very easy to wake back up.

I can say none of that about my Windows and Linux machines 😅 so that may be where my confusion came from

And then how do you turn it back on?

I'm with you in general - but the original timeline sounds much so much more quacky than what OP posted that in this instance I'm fine with it

yo, do you blog? I would read your blog/diary/novel. You have a very calm(ing), distanced and at the same time immediate sense to your writing. It's good readin'!

Also bought Nova Launcher Prime, but they were apparently acquired in the last year so now Nova is spyware? Anyway, I switched over to Kvaesitso and couldn't be happier.

look at this if you wanna know what the opera looks like. The fascinating thing to me is that they apparently put on several shows in Schwerin (predominantly protestsnt town in northern Germany) without much fuss.

no matter. I know that Career foundry offers (used to offer?) a "pay after" scheme for some of their certifications. So it doesn't cost you anything up front, but you set up a contract where you'd pay them like 5-10% of your new job's wages for a set time.

well, but it is news that Alex Jones is at it again.

Please don't! Do you qualify for state-sponsored training? I know some people who have really improved their situation by taking advantage of the courses the unemployment office offers.

Doesn't Austria have a law that allows employees to reduce hours to part-time as they see fit? We do here in Germany. Last place I worked at, my team lead didn't want me to reduce from full-time to 80%. The Betriebsrat (employee council) was ready to go to bat for me, but I didn't like the role anyway, so I interviewed for another place. They offered me 80%, a pay raise, a better role and benefits.

This might come off as bragging, I realize. Sorry, not my intention. I just wanted to share my experience, maybe it's useful to someone 😊

Reminder: none of the currently available methods of cloud seeding are proven to work.

Yes, it all works in theory and in the lab, but in practice we have no idea if cloud seeding "makes it rain" or if it would have rained anyway (to make a long story very short).

So take anything anyone says about "them making it rain" with, like, two grains of salt.
