Samsung SSDs are quite competitive on pricing these days. I saw some on Newegg.ca for under CAD$250 for 2TB which is pretty good.

When you're looking, just keep in mind the requirements from Sony, mainly sizing because it would suck to buy something that doesn't fit. Pay special attention to dimensions if you decide to go with a heatsinked stick.

Surprisingly, yes. I made some risky decisions between 2020-2022 that paid off significantly, though.

The pandemic turned my prior job to 100% remote and I got in writing from their HR that I could move anywhere in my province. This allowed me to find a house I was able to afford buying, so that's what I did with the support of my wife. About a year after that I got a much higher paying job local to my new home, which is when I beat or matched my parent's income at the time which certainly was more than when she was my age.

I lept into the unknown and didn't die, it's been great!

Apparently phone too! Like 3 cards down was another post linking to instructions on how to run it locally on a phone in a container app or termux. Really interesting. I may try it out in a vm on my server.

Can someone with the knowledge please answer this question?

I just don't know what to do with my hands most of the time and sometimes shoulder pain...

Isn't that pretty much the context for the movie Civil War?

Ya, apparently a hairnet and gloves were enough even though other employees were in full smocks and aprons. It was weird.

From the valve to the tip of the nozzle still holds gas that hasn't let go yet. Just like when you pour water from a cup, there's still water left gripping the cup that can condense into larger droplets and drip out as soon as you put it back in your pants, unless you shake it a few times first.

I worked at one those "we'll make you custom chocolates and candies with your branding on them" candy factories in college and it was about on the same level. Not bad but not worthy of "the best in the world".

On a side note, the micromints were the best product but worst to make. Absolutely covered in powdered sugar walking home in humid summer weather suuuucked. They really should have given me a smock to wear instead of me being in my street clothes.

I had a feastables given to me and I can honestly say it was not the best chocolate bar I've ever had. It was pretty average.
