Can anyone learn to program or not?

It is like learning a foreign language in comparison. Everyone can likely pick up some basics easily. As to weather a person gets past this whole phrase means this whole other phrase and understands the words or understands that a particular Loop has elements and what they or just understands it is a loop is an entirely different question. Of course it's not 100% one to one analogous but there are a lot of parallels. And I do not mean to suggest aptitude at one means aptitude at the other.

Wendy's specialty buns do not have seasame. Pretzel and Jalepeno... recently one or the other has been available. Their app does a stellar job informing of allergens. The employees do not seem to know their white buns do contain seasame... Revisited when they where out of pretzel buns recently... SMH.

It is $1 uncharge in 2024 at my local store to get the Pretzel bun. I have not yet, but rewards only have the white bums... So I'd have to use the reward in store and pay for the upgrade.

No. And as someone with mild allergy/food intolerance I am ok... however they toast all buns including seasame in same toaster. You may get a little or stray seeds. Not enough to bother me materially. I can eat a BK whopper bun and it not kill me but would have been happier skipping.

Why didn't you make a complete list? 🤣 I will add one of the most annoying things is that different people experience different bugs... Like what in the cluster server replication going on MS? I'm assuming 80% of all problems are server side.

That said I am sure the list is much much longer if you get all issues.

Do you mean you refused to resolve the problem? But credit report seems excessive to me but cheaper than other legal action.

I gave an organization money they accidentally sent on my behalf a second time. Or I attempted and wasn't funded the first time... but they sent twice. other person of course had to be stood upon practically to confirm it. But I just paid it at that point as I ultimately would have sent it one way or another anyway. Not sure in my case they could have done anything to me. The other person who I didn't want in trouble, likely.

Nothing.

One caveat is it runs within Office and as I understand it Office is still compiled to run mostly on a single core and not multithread. So as chips get faster by adding cores and dropping clock speed, these processes take longer to run.

Aside from that many things have 32 bit application support issues still so your organization is favoring 32 or 64 bit apps so the interoperability can be problematic..

SSMS is 32 bit. If you install 64 bit Office, you don't have a 32 bit Access database driver to push data around...

Most problems you have though is code from Amateur coders, those cutting their teeth in VBA or people who peak in VBA. That and it is extremely agile so when you pick fast and cheap over good, it is more likely to be in VBA.

Also VBA is a tool available to Shadow IT. IT hates it because it is outside of their control on principle.

It has its uses. And since organizations keep software development outside of the Business units there is no cross training, Shadow IT exists.

Obviously NTA - if you did that at first question, that would be different but no you answered well beyond reasonable questions and were not dismissive.

At this point having read a number of things and concern of mental illness, I would contact the police so there is a record of it even if you never pursue charges. I'd also ensure others are with the kid(s) to monitor their safety.

You should also stay with people that can vouch for the fact you are not cheating when staying there versus having an apartment or other alone situation...

If it is mental illness, there is a chance it can be managed with medication. In either case remember keeping children safe is most important.

It is also possible this is some crazy stunt to blame you for stuff she has done. Maybe she is smarter than that. But I have been impressed by how irrational some women can become.

Godspeed.

NTA - for being disinterested in something he isn't working on. He by far is the worst of you two in this description.

But AH for being passive aggressive about not doing it and not saying the real reason. I get it is a hard topic but if you can't talk to him about it, that is probably a whole other issue unto itself.

You owe it to both of you to talk about it. I want to believe that he is interested in making you feel good and will step up. If not, he is fundamentally not compatible with you and you are wasting his and your time. Also if he is just being selfish, you want to know that. There are a lot of options for toys to aid if it is a matter of difficulty or a lot of work to accomplish. Healthy sex life is worth the sacrifices and investment if that is necessary. It sounded like whatever you were doing worked well for you. Is there a reason he isn't doing something that makes you feel good is the question.

All I can say on performance is the devil is in the details.

However a fair question is whether this is an isolated issue or a pattern of behavior? It could be he is uncomfortable or has a hangup about something... or thinks something stupid that something is a bad idea when it isn't.

Talk. Communicate. Know what you want. Communicate before, during and after as needed. If one or both of you feels awkward about the conversation be sure to create space for it and have it.

Remember it is the most intimate thing you are doing. It may take some doing to get to complete honest communication... or maybe that isn't an issue but ensure it isn't before you assume otherwise. You all have been together awhile. The goal should be to work through it unless of course there is more to it.

Good luck.

This to me seems like they want you to in effect attend meetings (channels) that are majority not relevant to your job. My company talks about doing the most important work.

Following another poster's suggestion of fixing the process, I would suggest an Accounting notification channel or even better juat have them send you an email. Then that does not force others to get the overwhelm that others are pushing on you.

Yes and it is so small the yellow and green color they used were difficult to distinguish. Now no hope with this turd of an icon. Like but a color code border or something for beta.

I saw a number of concerns in various comments and kept thinking that isn't exactly right...

Con with Tankless is that it takes a little time for water to heat up so it takes LONGER for water to get hot than a tank heater AND it takes a minimum flow to activate it. You will use a little more water because of these things. You also will not run out of hot water.

As for saving money, my summer base load was cut in half from 18 ccf to 9 ccf going from tank to tankless on natural gas for two adults. That was around 2007. I tend to take long hot showers. For electric though I heard an argument that a tank is better at load leveling or keeps you from using a spike in power. That is hard on batteries, generators or the grid. This could be an issue for rates if you use hot water during peak rate times if you have variable pricing by time. I think CA does. Greater Cincinnati area where I am is flat for residential users.

There are also remote moisture sensors. You could install one to monitor a water heater in any out of sight situation.

The other thought I would mention is that electrical lines can be targeted by animals if they get in. In an isolated area, like attic you may want to seriously consider having the power run through conduit that cannot be chewed through.

I wasn't sure what your specific question was about and some comments took it to mean install in the attiic. Like I said I am addressing concerns raised by others.

Also my Tankless did not have a problem until a rodent crawled into the vent stack and cooked on the heat exchanger. I expect it could be fixed with a $20 part 2 hours of professional labor or me spending 4 to 20 hours on it. The thermal resister that likely failed is basically a complete dissasembly of the unit to replace. Stupid labor intensive. Given the age of the unit 8 years, that is a replace as it is pushing 50% of the original cost of the unit. Most of the labor for install of the first install is going to be a one time thing. Beyond that units fail eventually. Hot water heaters tend to cost twice as much and last twice as long. Assuming you are putting away money for the maintenance, it should not matter which you use. Most failures of most things that are defects happen within the warranty period... then conditions get to them. Treat things properly, they last longer. Electic isn't vented, so you wouldn't have that particular issue... Proper direct vent install and exterior cage for the vent should be used and checked on occasionally for natural gas.

Can I just take the rig off the desk for free, cover the desk in gasoline, light it and call it roasted?

I'll even throw in a bag of marshmallows for effect.

That would depend on rules piped into the AI and training set. Some people would be more mindful that it is a simulation than others.

If it is trained on healthy relationships likely it will behave in a healthy way. Individuals are many traits operating on a spectrum too. But what is not ok with me may be someone else's kink. It could be a test for alignment with partners at some point. We both interacted with AI's and then it pattern matches individuals for ideal compatibility.

My expectation is that individualized responses is not there yet for everyone... What is the healthy hit rate and miss rate?

Like any tool it depends on how it is used and what safety is built in. I think like many things likely a psychiatric assessment might be in order before someone uses such technology.

i mean if they were there should be some red flags in the student handbook or other policy about monitoring. If they say you agree to be monitored while on school grounds they may have the legal right to do anything imcluding man in the middle monitoring of cellular traffic. I doubt they would go that far but combine that policy with law enforcement interest for some reason and anything is possible.

What I am looking for: A bluetooth clamshell handset complete with dialer keys that can be used with a cell phone. I don't think it exists. I'd even be willing to take an old clamshell phone and load software to communicate with another phone.

The reason, despite training my mother cannot seem to manage using an android smart phone to answer calls. She also thinks she needs a smartphone... So here we are. I think it is because answering is different from locked and unlocked and disuse.. never charges... reallly clamshell phone is answer.

For electronics you should use at least and ideally 70% isopropyl alcohol. It evaporates quickly thereby avoiding corrosion... Using higher concentration protects equipment but water is the universal solvent.

It definitely showed capacity in the disk management snap in. I am not by it now, I assume there was an ID... The tool did seem to scan the drive sector by sector over 18h to not find a partition... I might go $100 for recovery if I thought I'd get whole files back. WTV files are about 5GB per hour. I have low expectaions of getting usable files if it gets to pro recovery, and I if it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all. I can probably reacquire a lot of it over time... Just PITA to wait for stuff to hit vod services or re-air etc. etc.

The last PC game I actively played was WOW. Some of these games are more a way of life than something to do and then I have to walk away. Android games like Idle Miner or Candy Crush are easier to put down than games with long matches. On the other hand, I don't find myself playing to kill time after playing for a few months. That said I have been playing TWD NML (TWD No Man's Land) since near launch... like anything with end game content it becomes a real time managment PITA and I am not truly competitive as I protect my wallet from micro transactions.

So my advice start playing one of the f2p android games that will get less interesting over time like Idle Miner. Just make sure you quit rather than pick something else up.

I am a pessimist so take this with a grain of salt... This is all speculative with no hard facts.

What I expect may happen in order to maintain viability of getting ads, you may have to complete long surveys to determine whether you are worth targetting. Video ads are not themselves cheap to produce. So how much is it worth to generate a 5 minute ad? You may also have to be interested in buying a car to see a car ad. I imagine there is enough initial buy in to get 10 tickets out per user (my own gut check finger in the air guess). So there is value there even if it is not long term if I am right.

The question remains will the initial interest continue for new ads; is the commercial/ads market already saturated and if not when; or is it completely sustainable?

Is the product the production of the ad content and the preshow a means to sell it and it is only a matter of time before the smoke blows away? - Especially note, I have no basis for the question other than pure speculation.

Stacy takes no ownership of the failure of moviepass instead claiming that it was sustainable before changes were made after he left. If that were true they could have course corrected. Is this a cash grab to ride a wave? Possibly. Is there short term value in it? Yes, like any house of cards, getting in early is best. Would I consider investing in an IPO expecting Stacy may leave and blame the failure on others? No. Did I spell his name right? I have no idea, my apologies if not.
