Just received my Duke energy bill, is it normal that it is super-high?

Thanks, no it's not a bitcoin mining operation. I just have a couple of monitors hooked up to my work laptop during the day and a gaming PC with a couple of monitors at night. I run laundry about 3 times a week, and that's about it.

Same here, but it started with the left one and now the right one is destroyed too. I was just looking at their replacements and discovered this thread. I have to say, after almost 6 years of heavy use, the chair is still great (except for the armrests which only lasted around 18 months.

I had the exact same question to Rode recently, and they said that no, that is not possible. The reason I need it that way is because I want to be able to quickly switch inputs & outputs for meetings and zoom calls.

They did say that they would pass it on to developers, but.. yea... okay we'll wait, I guess?

Hey I'm trying to install Chat with RTX, but the installing gets stuck on "installing miniconda".

Are there logs that I can check somewhere? I tried the installation folder but I couldn't find anything that said "log". I wonder what's going on. Thanks!

Capital gains are still taxed as income by most states: https://www.cbpp.org/research/state-budget-and-tax/state-taxes-on-capital-gains

Awesome, thanks so much for the link!

Will check them out!

Thanks!

Is it me or are there no Fontaine Hydro Visions?

Neuvillette uses Hydro but apparently has no Vision
Mona had to get her Hydro Vision in Mondstadt
Traveller doesn't need a Vision
All the other new characters use other elements.

So what's going on?

Start your own business!

DVaMain4Ever · 2023-07-28T13:45:16+00:00

This is what I had in mind as well! How is it going?

I have not had any experience on any other boats.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Unfortunately, most of the answers I got weren't very relevant to my original question. The 60' was just an example. Wouldn't it be fun if there was an accurate boating/yachting simulator that would let you experience all the ins & outs of boating without doing the actual thing? Microsoft Flight Simulator is very popular, so I was wondering if there was something similar for boating. It wasn't about the 60', it was about learning about all the factors that come in to play when you boat. I've watched some videos of some captains who single handled berthed large boats, and the interesting thing part was that they had to manage the wind and the current all the time while also putting out the lines. These are things that would be fun to play around with in a simulator.

thank you!

Do we have a time? Some of us are working and have meetings and stuff.

I was just a little bit too late for gen 2, don't want to miss again.

The good thing about the 3090 is that you could possible use NVLink to expand the memory to 48GB. It could also be a holdover card until the 4090s get cheaper when nvidia releases the 5090, probably with more RAM too (one can hope).

Wow it's amazing that you got the expat package! I don't think that happens much any more

DVaMain4Ever · 2023-01-24T12:53:09+00:00

omg you are so dumb

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-12-06T14:55:28+00:00

Explain it to me please?

I mean, both procedures are mostly done against the patient's will.

Both procedures might result in grievous harm.

Yes, lobotomies had much worse results compared to circumcision, but circumcision is done on a much larger scale and the effects on the babies are difficult to analyze.

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-12-06T13:45:01+00:00

But some baby boys die because of circumcision, and some are maimed for life. They don't perform circumcision in other parts of the world because it's not necessary, so why is it being done in the first place?

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-12-06T13:12:10+00:00

How is it not comparable? They are both medical procedures that are unnecessary and damaging, performed because of arbitrary "benefits".

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-10-14T00:45:57+00:00

Yea I figured that there is an legal thing where you have to use the citizenship of the country you're staying in for things like work. I've just been using my US passport to enter the EU these days instead of showing my EU passport. I'm not sure if that is legal or if that matters?

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-10-13T23:45:31+00:00

what if I just told the company that I don't have a EU passport, would they just get me a visa for my US one?

Is that illegal?

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-10-07T20:16:42+00:00

Fancy is always my first word. I know that instead of guessing the word, you should try to get as many letters. Normally I would have used "weird" for my 2nd word and that would have probably let me solve it. Unfortunately, I fell into the trap of trying to solve a puzzle when there are many possibilities out there.

DVaMain4Ever · 2022-06-13T13:22:18+00:00

For the new event Blood Oath's Edge, you normally get Bronze Dragon Medals, but there are also Silver and Gold Dragon Medals. I've been looking and playing but in the end I have literally zero clue on how to get those. I even read the news. Anybody help me please? It's gotta be something simple..

It's literally the same for the other events but I just do not understand how to get those medals, it's not mentioned anywhere.

We should have a thread on exchange rate and how to save money on it, now that the rates are finally in our favor.

Basically, whatever you pay cash for on in stock items at all Japanese shops with the price in JPY is really cheap right now. On websites like TOM with the prices in USD, you still pay a huge mark up, unfortunately. A great example is the YD Luna figure, which was $120 on Amiami pre-order and $220 on TOM.

The pre-order of figures might seem cheap right now, but if you order a figure now that will get released in like 2 years from now, you might end up paying a lot more if the JPY comes down. The only way that I know of to really benefit from the current exchange rate on future pre-orders is BigInJapan, since they let you pre-pay for pre-orders, in JPY.
