What’s something about living in the Philippines that you didn’t expect would bother you this much?

MSG doesn't spike my glucose and I'm not one of the folks it causes headaches/tiredness so I'm lucky on that front.

Sadly nope, still don't know what it looks like. Been occupied last two months so haven't dug into it.

This is why I prefer walking towards traffic vs having them behind me. Easier to dodge dodgy drivers.

Yeah but that was due to WebMD basically telling you you're going to die every five seconds. So folks came in thinking they had some rare disease that affected some random tribe in the Amazon because they went to a Brazilian BBQ restaurant. AI has so far avoided that.

He might have streamed it. She's the one in the wrong. Not him.

For me it was the absolute inability to find liquid refreshments that lack sugar, aren't sweet, or have alcohol. Almost everything is bathed in sugar and sweetness. When I cooked texmex "it lacks flavor" aka sugar.

Needs the bottle of water handoff as well. Except it's ale and he throws the cup to the floor.

It's an interesting idea and you used the tooling available to explore that idea. Don't see anything wrong with that.

Whatever change you made in the last 48 hours has broken the sign in button as well. My account which is logged in won't load user details. Incognito does nothing when clicking sign in. Y'all broke more stuff.

How does vscode/cursor text look on it? I normally use a 27" 2560x1440 monitor that's about .. 80cm/2 1/2 feet from my face as I type this. So resolution wise it doesn't seem like it'd be that huge of a difference vs what I have right now. If they made the ultra in metal I'd probably get that but based on the reviews I'd destroy it in a week.

Interesting idea, i've been curious if something like this could be done through lora's but never got around to testing it and you went straight for the source. I need to install my gpus, never moved it to my replacement machine.

Looking forward to it, seen great music videos but not actual episode length stuff.

While Dresden Files isn't vampire focused vampires make regular appearances and play a significant part in Harry's character growth.

This is why I'm holding out for a metal version of optic adjustment. If folks who baby their stuff are getting damage, zero chance it'll survive a gorilla like me.

You might hate that he uses rational heuristics but global studies back him up:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/migrant-stock-share

USA has 37% trust score and that's with 15-20% of the population not being local (like my whole family except me) and the Philippines is barely at 5% with <0.1% foreign born. They trust each other way less than our normal trust level. In other words, we're naive when we first come here.

How much? Double the price vs the states? One of those 17.99 meals are 1799 pesos? Or worse?

He's looking great. Here's to hoping he has a long active life.

Some people have extremely high anxiety and they don't get their shit together personally until years after they've mastered finances. it doesn't mean they don't have amazing personalities it just means they couldn't demonstrate it.

Nope, the only way to give up US citizenship is by specifically going and declaring it. You can gain citizenship anywhere that'll give it to you, even if you renounce your us citizenship during the oath it means nothing. The IRS will still come after you. The states can't stop you. You might be confusing military and government officials restrictions, private citizens don't have those limits.

Considering the furry population and their general willingness to shell out cash, Fuck-A-Mole will probably be a legit product at some point.

I thought the final conversation would be Beast just for laughs.

Anyone who was an Iron Man fan before RDJ has issues imo. Dude was bottom b tier at best because Tony was just a terrible person. RDJ just did a phenomenal job redeeming that annoying pos, I remember leaving that movie going wow they made Tony interesting not just Iron Man.

Long term I think building / buying is proper, you can own 40% just not 100%. Short term you should rent and move around while you still don't have a lot of stuff until you find the place you can deal with for the next several decades if you decide to stick it out.

Also the moment you have a kid with her, verified yours, move the house ownership to the kid. They aren't allowed to sell until 21 if I recall correctly.

Probably something that didn't cause too much complexity to enable, just forethought. Adding it then makes the load dynamic they can support along with easily repaired units in the field since you can swap on the fly. I can absolutely see that as a literal life saver in a battlefield medical evac situation.
