Besides proving that postage was paid, stamps also used to function as legal tender, at least where I live. I remember posting stamps as payments of small amounts instead of writing a tiny cheque or requesting bank details.That’s not the case any more. Even the post office can reject to buy back of stamps now, so they don’t function that way anymore.
Contemporary cars are mass-produced and have impractically many special and unrepairable parts. They’re a real patchwork of different technologies that will become obsolete when switching to other fuel sources.
Also stamps and cash. Intricate prints meant to dissuade counterfeiting, which will be replaced by digital technology.
Getting paid for ownership.
You might be able to tune the radio to an AM frequency that picks up the engine interference.
“Don’t turn off” is the worst kind of status message.
When it eventually hangs for various reasons, you actually do need to turn off your pc for it to complete or to let it roll back in an error state.
When “just hang in there” is still present on the third day you’ll start wondering why you bought that piece of furniture and won’t mind the consequences of turning it off.
I’m a #4 then. The one who knows all the theory but don’t care about practicing. I can play a lot of different instruments badly.
Now this is not necessarily a bad role, because if you want to perform live it’s absolutely necessary to simplify things in order to ensure that you can actually deliver something and not get thrown off by imperfections or getting bored with certain parts.
Always before.

That’s not exactly the take I was expecting, but alright.
The person who posted it is apparently addicted to abusing other peoples labour. Now, as a labour dealer, I can’t provide them with one guy with 10 years experience. That’s too high of a dose.
However, if they’re willing, I can probably find 10 guys with 1 year experience, but the price is going to be 10 times the going rate, because that’s how much it’ll cost me to hire and manage those 10 people off fiver.
Am I cutting the shit? Go find another dealer then. It’s not my “need”. That’s a “your problem”.
The entertainment system in most cars are separate from the actual car computer. You can just turn it off, or only use the radio. I think it’s only Tesla where it’s necessary to use the screen in order to operate the car.
EVs however is one place where it makes some sense to have some software connection to the car, if you want to time the charging to the electricity price or set a tine to preheat and such, that’d be difficult to make with physical buttons. I’d prefer just to have an simple app for it, because I really dislike the proprietary software in the cars.
This might be pedantic, but the use of the word “need” pisses me off more than the unrealistic requirement. It’s so needy.
The section “other people also search for” is complete garbage.
I was searching for a used car part in my native language and Google mistook it for a name. No, Google, other people do not search for "car part net worth and marital status ". Why are you showing me this crap?
If only I had paid for quick walking.

Seriously though. Don’t answer. Block the number. If he keeps pestering you, get a guy-friend to call him from your phone and ask him to stop harassing you. Alternatively report to the police.
Yes, electronegative doesn’t mean electrical charge, but simply that it’s in the negative of the potential number of electrons in that period. It’s a chemical term meant to explain how likely it is to attract the needed electrons, so it increases as it gets closer to the noble elements. I mean, it doesn’t express the difference from the ideal number of electrons but the likelyness that it will receive an electron.
The periodic table is a nice overview, but it doesn’t really show how stuff works in any logical way.
The top poster’s wife is correct. Electronegativity is the key. It seems kind of intuitive, but very difficult to explain.
One definition is that metals can conduct electricity - as in exchanging electrons.
The periodic table is two dimensional. The vertical axis or rows tells how many shells or layers or orbits of electrons an atom has. As we go downwards in the table the exchangeable electrons are positioned further away from the protons, so the electrons are less attached and more likely to be exchanged by close proximity of other atoms.
The horizontal axis is the number of electrons in the outermost orbit. The rightmost ones have full outer orbits and don’t have vacancies to exchange electrons, but as we go left, the atoms are more and more short of electrons to fulfil the outermost orbit = electronegativity= missing some electrons.
Combining this shows that the atoms most likely to exchange electrons are in the bottom left corner of the table, which is also the previously mentioned definition of metals.
Someone else pointed out that the actual distribution of atoms is very much not metallic. In the entire universe there is 73% hydrogen, 25% helium and only 2% of everything else including all metals. Even on a planet consisting of “everything else” very much, it’s still rare to come by metals, hence their value.
The reason why metals take up so much space on the period table is simply that metals have a lot of different configurations which need to be described because they are different from each other.
When my friends and I walked home from school, we’d always check the bushes behind the church for empty bottles. The refund from one glass bottle was enough to buy 4-10 pieces of candy from the pick’n’mix jars at the grocery store.
I find it interesting that people can have so very different experiences on this network.

When I started working in the late 90s early 00s, every company had their own It-department. These days it’s just some consultant or subscription to another company offering their consultants to do specific tasks.
This thread reminds me of why having an IT department makes good sense financially - today.
You can add up all the salaries, equipment and training costs and it’ll still be cheaper than wasting time and money in meetings with consultants trying to either explain the task or moan about pricing.
Shit doesn’t work, because they aren’t paid to make shit work.
I can make code that works for me and I can make code that works for you. The price is different, but you also need to know what you actually want it to do, and I don’t know how much money you are willing to sacrifice for us both fumbling around in that equation.
Yes, sure it can. Mashed/blended spaghetti bolognese or lasagna are available as baby food.
Baby food products are basically just ordinary food blended and packed in smaller convenient portions. Simply look at the package to see what it contains.
Cat and dog foods are completely different kinds of food, which is often made from animal biproducts and not suitable for human consumption.
