Can’t use coins in a lot of places as well.

Anon also forgot to lead with “be me”…

I respond by hoping I’m a girl in this scenario. Anon forgot to specify.

3 years is an absurd commitment to any bit isn’t rewarding, and quite a few that are. Most who can afford this stuff tend to be more fickle(or suck at it … hi). I think you’re right.

Little I have seen here has made me regret subscribing anywhere close to this much. Some poor woman not only slept with, but married that piece of shit. Let’s hope that last line in green is spot on.

I think you meant “consistent”, but you know what? That title looks consistent enough to me, and I’m saving your comment for copy-pasta. Just beautiful.

Even back when I was in the laptop-repair game, this is the kinda stuff people would expect me to know about their stuff that I hated. I saw too many features come and go over the years to keep track of even half of it on behalf of others.

Depends on the iGPU, but this being a damn near brand-new laptop, I’m sure you’re right.

Maybe if it allowed you to switch to integrated graphics versus discrete, putting the GPU to sleep.

For just browsing, even integrated graphics has been plenty since the beginning of the internet, maybe with some exceptions when Flash gaming reached its pinnacle.

The one usually works best with the other, though.

EDIT: nm, I see what you were getting at in their comment now. Thy also meant downscaling the Text/UI, not upscaling.

In the case of the IMF, its unbelievable how much power and influence they have.

“I’m you from the future. I didn’t invent a time machine or anything, but I did promise to try to scare you into doing more with your life. Clown school is SO MUCH fun though!” pulls out a syringe, shoots up right there, overdoses, dies

Now its an existential crisis. Please the people that are so petty they’ll send him back in time to traumatize themselves, or go enjoy Clown School? Crippling New Fear of making decisions: unlocked.

Priorities. My wife doesn’t understand how I can spend my last $70 on cat and dog food a week before payday. It’s simple: Plenty of Cereal, canned goods, milk, cheese, hotdogs and/or bologna on hand? Enough gas in the tank to make it to payday? Honey, we should feed the animals, and the smaller bags are a rip-off.

Of course, personally it helps that my work has a free soda fountain and a sorta automat setup in the breakroom with a barcode/qr/app/account setup that actually gives a discount. I toss my lunch budget for the next two weeks on that every pay-day, and stop worrying about it.

Things get bad enough? All of my driver accounts on the ride-share apps are still active.

The WTO is probably right. I couldn’t remember earlier, did some googling, and went with what I found. The WTO and IMF together are a global juggernaut. The ICC is … the one that sticks out in my memory, for some reason.

There’s the International Criminal Court, yes, but there’s also the International Chamber of Commerce.

The confusion gives them(the Commerce peeps) a veneer of authority, although as a facet of the International Monetary Foundation that the US/EU requires countries to sign onto in order to do business, they do issue binding decisions versus member countries. That, or the US get’s more hands-on with its meddling.

Realistically, Google and then the other Android manufacturers will stop business in Argentina. Grey market will then be filling that niche, almost cerainly with imported phones.

WTO/ICC Arbitration coming in 3 … 2 …

Honestly, I hope Google just stops doing business in Argentina. Let their courts tussle with phone manufacturers that sell Android devices until they do the same. Not the end of the world if your citizens have to buy such things grey-market or keep using what they already have, or buy devices with other operating systems.

Before you say Apple, Apple would have to handle it pretty much the same as Google if/when they get sued/prosecuted like so.

Not gonna lie, he scared the bejeezus outta me. Like, I just happened to look before I would have sat down. Animal-enamas-and-even-vaguely-adjacent-experiences rank damn near the top of my NO THANK YOU list.

There’s a creek across the alley, but its also on the other side of a neighbor’s property. I was never concerned at where he came from or how, just surprised he made the trip unscathed.

My house has an OLD sewer connection. Gotta snake the tubs and sinks(and formerly the kitchen sink and washer connections) so often that I used a hole-saw to remove the cross-shaped bits that would normally hold a plug(and catch a bit of hair).

You’ll never guess what never comes out(any more) with our 50ft, 1/2-inch drain auger; Hair. Waxy stuff? Check. Black Goo? Check. Fricken YARN/threads from the washing machine on the other end of the house? Check. We’ve somehow got it down to where only the tubs need snaked regularly, but still, no hair any more.

I thought the whole house was sharing a 1.5-inch(okay, two inch) connection, then a few months back when there was flooding nearby, this bastard swam up our toilet:

Figure he needed at least a three inch pipe to get through without just getting stuck.

Best you can do is remove all funds from those accounts and have them lock them so they can’t recieve deposits or issue withdrawals. THAT, they can absolutely do.

Any data deletion will probably happen automatically or not at all, but there’s no incentive for them to retain any detailed transaction information beyond federal requirements, and yes, its seven or more years, depending on criterai like amounts and location.
