Depends on where you are. my Ikea still has all the cheap food you and I remember. Could be something stateside (if you are there).

Karen also did the Atlas of Krynn, the world of the Dragonlance Saga. I still have my copy. Wonderful illustrations and maps.

Sorry, after a recount that finished in the northwest constituency just over an hour ago this isn't valid anymore. Women are not in the majority anymore.

Same user also did the Jim Carrey in Shining deepfake which is as well done as this and at times really unsettling. From now on I can safely say that I can't trust any video footage I see. This is that well done. The algos will only get better and do a convincing blend in 4K in the future.
Re:The “Cobra Effect” that is disabling paste on password fields

You are confusing this method with one time SMS. This isn't SMS, it uses the Javacard-based SIM toolkit to decrypt a challenge sent to to the mobile number. the passcode for decryption is usually a 4 or 6 character PIN number. For an attacker to MITM this he would have to both have the number assigned to his own SIM and he would also have to impersonate the victim an show up in person to a bank or a security apparatus and social engineer his way so they program the new SIM with his personal PIN. a bit harder that just calling up the service provider to say 'I lost my mobile phone, i have this extra SIM card laying around, can you assign my number to that?'

I'm a Salesforce admin and I never understood why Salesforce didn't do more to integrate Do into their platform. The only thing they did was a half-assed AppExchange app which was nearly useless and had no direct integration with the core functionality (why have a collaboration platform if you can't feed it into your organization's data?).
Then again, they probably just bought it mainly for the domain name.

If you can afford it, you pay to found a private company, and have that purchase the house.
Preferably with cash, and have the company registered in an offshore tax haven.

Not quite the same thing but a bad idea for the consumer nonetheless. Our loans are price-index fixed. There is a consumer index calculated by our benevolent government organization that calculates the index based on the sale value of common household goods and essential costs like the price of gasoline. This mean that if the government raises gas taxes (like they did here - twice) that in turn causes your loan interest to rise. Ingenious, right?

would be great if we actually get that far. These constitutional changes require that the majority vote in parliament is yes, then it's put to a referendum for the people, and has to be accepted by the next convened parliament.
And the parties that were once in power but were ousted by the people are vehemently against any constitutional changes and will fight it. And they will probably come back into power this spring and kill any hopes of this new constitution.
Sad but true.
