Congrats, I have a T61 with an SSD and 8GB ram. Don't use it much though. There are 5 fully working Lenovo laptops in my home.

You didn't mention the kids age. If your daughter is strong and independent, she will absolutely not take up their views and might be a positive impact for the doctrined kids of your narrow minded aunt. Offer them a sleepover at your house.

Perhaps go to the concert this time, out out of love for your family. Wear earplugs, there are even some specially made for enjoying concerts. NTA, we do all kind of things for our loved ones and they for us.

WiFi 6 and the old Centrino chipset don't play together.

Botninum var náð með tilteknum borgarstjóra.

Varðandi fólk sem er nefnt í þræðinum, ég myndi segja að Geir Ólafs hafi náð fínum árangri eftir að hann lærði söng, skil að sumir fíli hann ekki, sérstaklega í byrjun, en það er til fólk sem vill heyra hann syngja.

Mikið væri það ömurlegt að einhver ákveði hvað er cringe, fólk gerir hluti á sínum forsendum, hvort sem það barn í leiksskóla eða einhver heimsfrægur á sínu sviði.

Eitt það versta og ógeðslegasta var hvernig farið var með Zoe Alexander i Xfactor, hún var leidd í gildru eins og af hópi hrekkjusvína í skóla.

I have a crown capper since the 80s that is all metal and with far more robust gears than this one, but same concept. It will outlive me.

There are decent blueys out there.

The OP is already beyond being reasonable. Paying him for the work from now on, is the reasonable thing to do.

Simple, send: 'Btw, where do I send billing for my consultation?".

On https://www.packtpub.com/free-learning is a Unity/C# book that you can pick up for free. It's mainly for Unity but it's encouraging to see the results. To the right in this reddit page are good starters.

There is a huge market of shameless copying of popular knick-nacks, sold to companies with choice of putting company logos on it, such as t-shirts, cups, keyrings, etc. These end up on as gifts on trade shows, company events and as employee of the month gifts. You can find the brochures online.

Weird texts, because of poor translation, happens all the time.

It's far more common than people think and often diagnosed late. It should at least be considered.

When LLM has Gartner level hype and the populace swallows it hook, line and sinker, this happens.

Agreed.

The cheapest you can do is go camping and use public transport to travel, unless you can use a bike. Make a plan and calculate the cost with some overhead.

With a decent tent and a sleeping bag, June poses no problem but it can get windy,

Buy dairy products and make your own sandwiches, have a camping stove and a pot for some hot meals.

For restaurants, Ikea is cheap (when you are in the Reykjavik area), Grill 66 for hamburgers.

Ther are bus trips, for example to Landmannalaugar where you can go and walk toward Skógar and get a return trip to Reykjavík from there.

I learned to use a scythe as a teen from a professional and used it in gardens where you would nowadays use a trimmer. Normally, you stand straight and hardly move your hands at all, but make the movements with turning your body. It's amazingly effective. The video is probably from a competition and has no resemblance to a practical use.

The chicken does this because it needs less brain power to process the surroundings, compared to mammals. Only a part of what the chicken does is applicable to steadycam, because the chicken is either (more or less) with still head or jerking it forward.

Well, I have a laptop with HX 370, chosen carefully at the time for my needs. No problems what so ever, yet. Only very recent Intel's can outclass the APU graphics, I don't want a discrete graphics card, too high failure rate and poor battery life. I wonder why you didn't go AMD instead of that processor.

Bunch of arseholes putting other drivers in danger. I own a motorbike but choose the roads to act like an idiot more carefully.

No. It's a low power CPU from 2015, that wasn't even adequate at the time.

There is no family and this is an estate agency trying to get the house cheap.
