One of the good things valve has been doing recently is cracking down hard on smurfs/alts. I started league last year and was often the only actual new player in the game. Imagine the amount of toxicity I got when people found out there was an actual noob in their new Smurf's matchmaking.

Bad play doesn't matter as much if everyone is actually on the same level. If everybody is bad, nobody is.

We have a bunch of torrent compacts at work and they're honestly great cases too. Also very good at keeping high end parts cool at a low noise level.

I've always been a fan of closed Fractal cases. They do no-non sense right.

The workaround Germans seem to have discovered is to have roadworks that last indefinitely.

Nog defending this practice at all, but a fun little fact is that if you get a Mac instance on AWS (and other cloud providers) It's literally a normal mac mini in a rack enclosure.

They feed the fungus leaves, which then provides the ants with honeydew in turn.

Iirc the fungus even excretes certain pheromones telling the ants what type of leaves to get.

Unfortunately that works less and less as "AI" continues to be more important in gathering results. Luckily there are other tricks like searching for pdfs only, exclude the 'corrected' words , or simply trying multiple search engines.

As someone that has to search for obscure hardware and part numbers on a regular basis Google's 'did you mean' is the bane of my existence.

They did have some programs to try and push more apps, but dropped the ball far too quickly for it to gain traction.

Microsoft essentially shipped free phones out to everyone that wanted to make or port a windows phone app. Heck, I got one just to port over the schedule app I made for my small high school at the time and had maybe 300 installs.

The dev environment was actually a lot nicer to work with than the android one at the time as well.

Yes we do,

However they don't hold much power over the day to day workings of the country.

The current monarch is essentially an ambassador that travels around the world for state visits and diplomatic talks. Similar to what a president and foreign minister would do.

I doubt support for the royals would be so high if not for all the national and international PR work that they do.

I actually started going to the gym a few weeks ago not having done proper physical exercise in the last 13 years. A large portion of the random pains and cartilage grinding are just straight up gone already.

Was gonna say, before the Dutch did that stunt with time dependent speed limits the 'unlimited' sign just meant 130kph. At the border would be a sign explaining this and that's that.

What kind of storage usage can I expect from running this? I would also assume that the database would heavily prefer solid state storage?
