Yea, I literally just bought an OEM dongle 20 minutes ago for this exact purpose.

My mom got her battery replaced at an Apple Store and the process broke the phones ability to connect to the internet or the cellular network. They ended up replacing the phone.

The kebab

My ball was kind of an indeterminate grey, too, but it was on a granite countertop of a kitchen island in an open concept kitchen/living room. Like one from a Bounty commercial or something.

WFH is great for life, not always great for work. Depends on your priority at the moment.

I really cannot stand sitting in a car in traffic and my last name starts with an A, interesting!

You can’t say that you can just not care about zero tolerance. I was the nephew in a similar story and was probably held back from membership in the National Honor Society because of the timing of the suspension, worsening my college applications.

Definitely a high trust city (Vienna), but note that a few times a year they do check for tickets.

Because the monthly pass rate is so low, most people have purchased the pass on their phone and that must be shown a couple of times a year or else you’ll be charged a fine at the checkpoint. I’m actually surprised that the evasion stats are so low, since the fine isn’t terribly large and you might come out ahead just never paying the fare and only paying fines.

I have to say though, that system of spot checks makes the day to day very low friction.

Is there real proof of this? I’d love to read more about it because I’ve been so frustrated the last few months.

Hmm, I was in Japan and there were some races (triathlon, 5k, etc.) and someone working at the event was dressed up for the finish line of the kids race as Master Roshi. The event wasn't anime themed or anything, but such major characters are a part of the tapestry and mainstream of Japanese culture.

Very interesting!

Is there a particular Parker model you’d recommend?

“very few people drink 1-2 cups” - I really doubt this, most people I know drink 1-2 cups.

I used to work there, and can confirm that there’s plenty of space there for more parking lot, there’s woods in all 4 directions and it sits on an old super fund site (former rocket fuel testing).

Exactly!

Maybe, but I think the book really was different from any book I had read before. Most books teach the language, but Think Python showed me some of the why, what each data structure might be used for, it would quickly dip into some interesting implementation details to give me a more solid foundation and then zoom out and give me perspective on why something is useful and related software writing skills and tips. It was thorough, but also concise, and the exercises were engaging, so I found myself for the first time really getting sucked into the zone with the problems and time was flying by. This hadn’t happened to me with Java or Perl.
