You went off to a different country and things are much different.

In the US, generally, parents by retirement age have paid for their homes by then, have retired with benefits from their employer that will give them some money every month, have social security that also pays them every month (both of these are taken out of each paycheck throughout their career lives) and don't have many bills.

So by the time they're old, if they were responsible and held ok jobs, they should need money less than you need it. Our US system is basically set up to make you work hard for 40 ish years and then you're taken care of when you're old, for the most part. If your parents need money and you have money to give, there's nothing wrong or against it. It's still a common thing. But ideally, doing that shouldn't be needed.

Don't worry, OP. Samsung makes absolute dog shit appliances, so you'll be replacing that dishwasher sometime in the next 2 years anyways.

You're going after like twice the population as most people, but you're still single?

I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it's worked fine since then. Afraid I don't remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it's been problem free for me.

Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don't buy yt premium.

I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let's you download vids.

What you really want is to just be like "fuck it" and 4 of you all or less just fly to Vegas for the weekend and do dumb stuff.

I have had no pairing issues with anything since 5.0. Also, a good set of buds 5.2 or more doesn't have much lag. I wouldn't pc game with it, but beyond that it's good. Vlc let's you easily offset audio and whatever netflix does stays synced real nice for me.

If you'd have read tye article, you would have learned that there were three groups, one with no gpt, one where they just had gpt access, and another gpt that would only give hints and clues to the answer, but wouldn't directly give it.

That third group tied the first group in test scores. The issue was that chat gpt is dumb and was often giving incorrect instructions on how to solve the answer, or came up with the wrong answer. I'm sure if gpt were capable of not giving the answer away and actually correctly giving instructions on how to solve each problem, that group would have beaten the no gpt group, easily.

We live in an oligarchy. As long as plastic is cheaper and gets sales, it will keep being used unless a law bans it. I lived in a time when soda was canned or in glass bottles. The stuff tasted better bottled in glass. Plastic was lighter and cheaper, so it got switched.

Some stuff can't really be made very well without plastic. It can vastly be cut down, for certain. But it isn't yet realistic to eliminate yet. We need replacement materials and ways to eliminate what is already here.
