There's a happy medium. I have a slightly newer VW GTI (2017) with a touchscreen but there are still buttons and dials for basically everything. It's a perfect infotainment system if you ask me :)

If you're pounding one out that won't really save you. He probably games with headphones and just doesn't want to get jump scares by mom.

I always had a desk and a bed and I made a point to never have my back towards the door when I was at my desk for the above reason.

Sorta. CBM is cubic meters and the entire world uses feet for shipping containers. For Intl logistics CBM and kg are the standard for volume and weight but they get loaded into containers measured in feet.

You'll see similar stuff in other industries. Machining a lot of measurements are in mm but tolerances in "mils" or 1/1000 of an inch. Or medical where volume is in mL or drams.

When it comes to distance though I only really know miles.

For context 28 CBM is about the volume of a 20' container.

Or a stacked pallet is about 1.8 CBM so about 15 standard height pallets.

Could be anywhere, it's legal in a lot of the US but nobody partakes because it draws unwanted attention.

You must really hate going to the movies. If I spend $60-70 on a game and get 50-100+ hours of entertainment from that money spent that's a dub in my book.

If someone enjoys flight simming it's not really a question, they will buy this game because it's one of the best all-around sims.

Also pandas and matplotlib but maybe that's just me.

Yeah but fuck all that python is good enough for most beginners. Variables, scope, loops, functions, operators... Once you get some of the principles down switching to C++ or similar isn't nearly as bad.

Being a person that tried to learn C/C# from scratch in my early days python was a good gateway language.

My elderly dad fell for something similar trying to call HP support, he googled the number and the top result was some bullshit. They had him set up remote access and compromised all his data. Old man had to reset everything.

He called me saying what happened, I had him shut down and unplug. I recovered what I could but he lost a lot of data.

This shit should be illegal. Like, I'm sure it is technically but there shouldnt be unofficial sponsored results above legitimate sources.

Definitely, I have a few group chats. It's good for general memery and snapping funny things throughout the day.
