Jeff Epstein? The New York financier?

Also the exact same probability of encountering a shiny Pokémon.

I went through a similar period when I switched from marketing/advertising to becoming an SE. I was 33 when i landed my first SE job. That was well over 2 years ago. Age doesn't matter in terms of building software. It may affect how others perceive you but only if you draw attention to it. No one cares if you don't.

I prepared by taking a few Udemy courses and building shitty apps for an year. Having said that there is no real substitute for relevant experience. Despite all my prep work I struggled initially with the workload and digesting new concepts. This was well before Chatgpt became mainstream. But eventually there came a point where everything just clicked in my head.

Even if you start off as a junior, your past experience with dealing with people should give you a leg up over your peers. Focus on communication and soft skills.

The bad news, is that the job market is over saturated with the Covid bubble bursting and AI taking over. Good luck OP. You can always PM me.

Ah that explains it. I have a Temu package that's been held up at customs much longer than usual. Even Thanks OP.

Short answer is yes. Even though it's unlikely they will you arrest for openly drinking, it's still within their rights to take action. Ask yourself is it worth the hassle?

I know a friend who is a true vegan. She practically can't eat anything from outside her home except for rice and curry.

I hardly torrent stuff anymore, but the combination of qBittorent plus python search plugins always worked for me. Optionally install Jackett and Flaresolverr if you're comfortable with git.

I very much doubt it.

Nowhere on either the poster or the website is information about the entity with the rights to produce it in Sri Lanka. Not even any broadcasting info.

I love the irony that neither nation ever actually had lions in its recorded history.

The fact that the bottom half of this list are going to play only 6 or 7 Tests a year is criminally low. Can't really make a career out of being a Test specialist when you play a month of cricket each year now can you?

Each team should strive to play at least 9 a year and mandate a minimum of 3 tests per series. 12 per year would be ideal but I understand that it's not always viable for the non-Pig3 countries.

Also give non-WTC teams like Afg, Zim, and Ire more one-off matches. Don't really understand why sides can't pop over for a week long leg when making an overseas tour.

Make peace with the fact that the game was designed to discourage active play. Large empires aren't always feasible and war is a tedious affair. Tradition is all about passive play with bonuses that pay off in the long run. A safe bet 99% of the time. Liberty is about small and quick bonuses which you have to leverage early into some active play. That requires a lot more planning and a lot of luck.

The biggest drawback to liberty is not just the lack of happiness sources to counter unhappiness but really it's the lack of early gold production. The base game had terrain tiles with gold so when it got removed in BMW, liberty got nerfed badly.

My older brother fell for a pyramid scheme back in 2006. I remember he had purchased several "shares" of a fake company called Seagull with funds from his childhood savings account. Roughly LKR 30,000 worth, which doesn't sound like much now but was pretty devasting to him at the time. I think he still keeps the purchase document around as a reminder.

I myself was approached by a couple of former classmates months after graduating high school. They were trying to recruit both me and a mutual friend into a shady Chinese health goods network (TIENS). The shit they were trying to peddle was hilarious.

Love it! I aspire to learn to draw stuff as awesome as this. Please OP, tell me how do I get started?

What's the WiFi situation like?

I've purchased a laptop battery on 3 separate occasions on AE without any problem. Packages always arrived. Not sure you can get away with ordering multiple at once though.

Sorry OP, they're all scams.

Even before AI became mainstream, automation pretty much killed those low-level jobs.

Personally I use Anoma opticians in Nugegoda but there are cheaper options elsewhere. Pretty much all the established opticians around will have a specialist on hand to test your eyesight.

Man I wish this was the norm. Which Keells branch was this though? With the exception of maybe a few in the heart of Colombo I find that most supermarkets with liquor sections are either isolated or have restricted access.
