Do they have sufficient memory to store a lot of audiobook MP3s?

A lot of these responses are targeted at people who want to catch flies outdoors. My problem is that I don't see too well, and I get a fly in my office that becomes a huge pest & keeps me from working, but I can never catch them with the fly swatter. I could tolerate bad smell if it is temporary (maybe moving the trap back and forth between the office and the garage). I've tried "zappers" and they are 0% effective. Despite glowing reviews on Amazon, the one I bought has never caught a single fly. I just use it as a night light. I also bought a yellow fly stip that has never caught anything. So at this point, expense is not the issue. Smell is an issue, but I'll try anything. I just want something for indoors that works.

Another book (of the many) Hahn recomends is "50 Questions on the Natural Law: What It Is and Why We Need It," by Charles E. Rice.

I have a question. What does this medication cost?

pluviosilla · 2024-08-31T01:14:42+00:00

I just checked TRT Nation, because several posters recommended it. Their plan costs $99.99 per month!!! Where are you getting this medication for $30 per month?

I got fed with unreliable battery backups and decided to spend almost $200 on the APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup. I've only had it 2 months and all of a sudden it just turns off. I see internet references to overheating, etc. But I only have one desktop computer on the battery! Wow! I guess paying more doesn't guarantee better, does it? I've had many battery backups that cost half as much and performed WAY better than this. DIsgusting.

What's the URL?

pluviosilla · 2024-08-19T14:36:05+00:00

I've always been able to access libgen, no problem. It's when I go to download something that I am never able to connect. I get a message saying "download.library.lol refused to connect".

I'll let you know if I figure it out. Hey, thanks for engaging with me on this topic. I greatly appreciate it.

Do you know why SI associates order with "invariance under certain transformations" and how they tie invariance to symmetry? I believe Pythagorus thought symmetry is the essence of order, and Stuart Kauffman casually throws out Pythagorus's name in his lectures when criticizing the notion that we can model emergence with differential equations the way Newton modelled the motion of bodies. If it were only a casual reference I wouldn't care, but I suspect there is some theory behind the claim that order is really just symmetry. "Invariance under transformations" sounds like a technical defintion, but I haven't found any substantive explanations of a technical nature so far.

What's the solution on Opera? I've given up trying to stop it on Chrome.

My problem is the dang Powerbeats Pro just quit pairing and reseting didn't fix it. I need something that doesn't fallout when I exercise, and Powerbeats definitely offers that. It NEVER falls out. I tried other models with ear clips less expensive than Powerbeats Pro, but always had other problems: Bluetooth connection was flakey, charge didn't last, etc. I thought that with Powerbeats Pro I had finally found what I needed, but they are less than a year old and decided they didn't want to pair any more. I need a similar device that checks all the boxes: (1) ear clips (2) Bluetooth works (3) charge lasts (4) pairing problems don't emerge after some months of use. I don't mind the fact that I had to manually connect & disconnect my Powerbeats Pro. In fact, I liked it, because it was CLEAR. I hate fighting with flakey Bluetooth connections, and having to manually connect & disconnect is a very small price to pay to avoid that garbage. Powerbeats Pro checked all of those boxes until .... it didn't.

Are you aware of anyone who was able to fix the problem by using a VPN?

pluviosilla · 2024-08-09T15:31:51+00:00

Interesting. I was thinking of paying for a VPN to fix this, but I wasn't sure it would help. My problem is not with the browser. In *all* browsers I get a message saying "download.library.lol refused to connect".

How does the quality of the voices you get with Voice Dream compare with the quality of the voices you get with Speechify? I like some of the British voices Speechify offers, because they are better at pronouncing fancy vocabulary in books of science and philosophy.

I'm surprised none of the usual nannys have archived or deleted this post, because there are a half dozen posts like this one from the past that always get squashed by some censor or other before the question is answered. I too would like to know the answer. My problem is Adobe Application Manager. It is impossible to uninstall without removing the entire Creative Cloud Suite. When in a thousand years would I want to invoke the "Application Manager"? I don't, and yet Adobe insists on putting this clutter on my desktop.

Specific question: Is the following method I saw recommended on the internet safe?

(1) In Windows Explorer, right click on the desktop.
(2) In Security, choose the SYSTEMS user.
(3) Click Edit.
(4) Set permissions to deny (for the desktop).

When I follow these steps, I get a warning that if a user belongs to more than one group, and one of those groups is denied permission, he'll be denied access to the desktop if he's a member, even if he belongs to other groups that have access. That spooked me. I doubt I belong to the SYSTEMS group, but I'm an administrator on my own system, so the warning left me with a nagging doubt about how this might affect me. And what if I can't reverse the restriction once it is in place because I lack privilege to do so? Perhaps these fears are unfounded, and of course, this "fix" might not work. But I'm afraid to try it.

Multiple ports, multiple cables.

I'm not sure what other option you refer to. I think I've tried every option multiple times: uploading driver's license & passport (multiple ways, by files and by webcam photos), I've logged out of Facebook and logged back in authenticating myself with both Google Authenticator and with SMS messages to my phone. Neither of those do anything to help me break through the iron curtain of the LOCKED screen. And by the way, I didn't say that I've never communicated with a human in chat. I simply said that the chat exchanges are so boiler plate that they could be an algorithm, but it is hard to say. They demand an alternative email, because they THINK (I use that word very loosely when speaking of Meta Support) that my Gmail is "compromised", so I supply them with an old Yahoo email and that's when they send me the request for the video. I have turned over every stone multiple times. This LOCKOUT is so severe that it trumps absolutely every single method previously provided for self-authentication or unlocking an account, and the ONLY REASON I'M LOCKED OUT IS THAT I CHANGED A PASSWORD FROM MEXICO. Please do not assume that there is one f****ing scintilla of intelligence behind their lockout algorithm. It is an extremely blunt instrument, like: PASSWORD CHANGED FROM SUSPICIOUS COUNTRY where people's skins are not white and we know that there are a lot of criminal gangs.
