Going to upgrade my iPhone 8 to the SE soon.

Ever since I graduated college, it seems I've been seeing the same people. I work a remote job so it is hard to make friends with coworkers. I want to meet some new people but it seems people aren't very friendly or open to friendship.

Given that colonial rule happened in both continents?

I don't see it as a bad thing. I'm sure a lot of restaurants/businesses are benefiting from more business. It doesn't seem to be a London-type situation where people buy houses only as an investment and only stay there for maybe 2 months out of the year.

In 2021, 72% of UnitedHealths $222.9 billion health plan revenue came from taxpayers.
94% of its total U.S. membership growth over the past 10 years was in government programs.

taxpayers as in people that pay for the insurance?

If you look at the top 10 companies by market cap, they all make sense as to why they are there except UnitedHealth. How is it worth more than every other healthcare company?

I used to carry around $40 in my wallet usually however with inflation these days, I try to make sure I have at least $50 at any given time.

If you like any games?

if you have, which countries/cities? If not, where would you like to go? If you live in Europe, which part?

Or will our jobs still make us commute 9-5 in 130F weather?

If people prioritize money, so what?

Everything else to me is just a side quest.

All the scenes he's on are pretty much the same so far. Hasn't really added to the stories so far. Not a fan of his songs, actually get a bit cringe to me.

Topic. If so, what was it?

Not necessarily for the big tech corporations, but just work for tech in any company.

If you are salaried, divide your annual pay by 2080 to get the equivalent hourly amount

He asked me to pick a random number between 1-100. He told me to just think of it. In my head, 74 came to mind. I did not write this number anywhere. He looked in my eyes deeply and I saw him write something on a piece of paper. He then asked if my number was 74 and then showed me a piece of paper with 74 on it.

Conservative media talks about no-go zones while Liberal media seems to say there are (generally) no issues. What do you think?

They kill people just for having beef in their possession in India wtf.

This is a bit misleading. Although it is true that most Hindus don't eat beef, a growing subsection of the young Hindu population in urban areas does eat meat without any issue. Most people in urban areas, even the ones that don't eat beef, do not have an issue with the people that do eat beef. The killing of people for eating beef is only thought about in rural villages.

How did you do this?

Also, that's why I would suggest to carry with you (i.e. pockets or under the seat) anything valuable that you wouldn't want to go missing.

For the iPad, you can turn on lost mode to remotely lock a missing device. There is a similar system for my laptop.

I dont understand. You had your items with you while in the plane as carry-on? Where they in the overhead locker or under your seat or in your lap?

I put all of my electronics in the overhead bin. Everything was zipped up, but the suitcase did not have a lock.

Do you have any tracking software on it? I know if you're signed in to a Microsoft account you can use that to track it.

The tracking devices right now can't find the device. Looks like they are both turned off. I'm keeping a watch though. I remotely locked both devices.

Recently came back from vacation in Europe and was on a long-haul flight that took roughly 12 hours to get back to the west coast. I would have put my devices in the checked luggage but I read stories that TSA has had cases where they have stolen personal items so I decided to just bring all the devices with me in a small roller bag.

The flight started pretty normally. A bit after take-off, I used my laptop to check some work stuff and then put it back in the roller bag when it was time for dinner. After I ate, I slept for a couple of hours. I think it was around this time it was stolen. I didn't pull anything out of my carry-on for the rest of my flight. I didn't realize my laptop and iPad were missing until I got home. I notified my airline but it seems unlikely I'll get it back.

Keep a watch on your carry-on devices guys.

Been to all of them. They're all awesome cities. My favorite is Seville its just gorgeous. I stayed at the Melia it was really cool. Check out the Alcazar. It's gorgeous, and it's where they film the gardens Sansa is always walking in for GoT.

I think Granada is where they do a big Andalusian horse show. That's awesome, highly recommend. Obviously Alhambra too.

Malaga is just a beach city for rich white people. It's beautiful still, but feels less traditional.

Nice!

What is there to do in Seville other than the Alcazar? From my research, it seems like there is less to do there compared to the other cities I am visiting.

Also, what are the most pedestrian-friendly places in each of those cities?

Anything I should know about those cities in Spain? Will be visiting in a couple of months.

Going to be going on a 14-hour flight in a couple of months. Mining on a plane would be great since I won't have to pay for any power other than what I paid for the ticket.

I flew 2 months ago

How do you like your job?

Topic. I thought if you live for that long, you're nearly guaranteed to get cancer.

By unlimited energy, I mean enough energy for the human population where it is accessible to everyone and at a fairly low cost. At the moment, there are many places in the world where people still have very limited access to energy. Will renewables help solve this issue?

Humans have used an estimated 135 billion barrels since 1870. At the current rate of consumption, we use up nearly 100 million barrels globally a day.

why were you in purgatory?

Made some comments about the Russian/Ukranian situation

That's amazing, welcome back! Who are you by the way?

I'm red_is_ash! Who are you?

SO Happy

So sad to see what is happening.

To capture the whole country and annex it?
To capture the whole country and make it a Russian puppet?
To capture only some territories (east of Dnieper River?)
To capture only the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk?
Ensuring constant conflict until the end of time to ensure the Ukraine never joins NATO?
To bring back the old borders of the Soviet Union?

If you meet someone that supports Russia, what will you do?

Couldnt find any casualty information on the internet.
