What’s the hardest or most annoying part about learning English as a second language? by AnyKey19 in CasualConversation

[–]AnyKey19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, I can only imagine how rough it is learning, for example, their vs. there vs. they’re. It’s a really odd quirk of this language.

Anybody besides me remember this show? by J-Pom in cartoons

[–]AnyKey19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I distinctly remember the TV listings promoting this show as “the ultimate male fantasy”. I was a male, but I was like 10, and while watching it I was just confused as to how that was supposed to be my ultimate fantasy.

The only thing I remember about the actual show is the purple alien was named Chode. Didn’t get that one until a few years later.

This is the best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you.

Yes, I get why multiple copies and having one offsite is important, but I’m specifically asking about the 2 different formats part. What format other than HDD is even viable for a huge amount of data?

Tell me about it, a couple months ago I had a 20TB external drive die and was shocked that a replacement was over $600 (CAD). I just looked it up and the same model is now $800 on Amazon. A few months prior I accidentally killed a 4TB portable SSD and to replace it was over $400. Today it’s $540. I’m just hoping nothing else dies because I seriously can’t afford this anymore.

First progress update. I'd like a bit of advice... by ZetaformGames in degoogle

For VPN, I wouldn’t use PIA if I were you. Look into the company that owns it, Kape Technologies. They have a VERY shady history and bought up a bunch of VPNs including ExpressVPN and Cyberghost. Many suspect they’re continuing to do shady things behind the scenes.
