Finland is a small country, and it joined NATO without Russia so much as flinching. Ukraine is nothing like small. It's bigger than France, for instance, with almost 50M people. Attacking it was just plain madness.
Or maybe it was supposed to be the OMP (OhMy Pi) harness. Pi can do just about anything for you. Use most models in most ways possible. You just tell Pi what you want, and it builds an extension for itself.
Where are you getting cheap GLM5.2? It is about 1/3 the price of Opus, which is not what I would call cheap.
They'll be sure to stick around if there's still money to be made.

Here’s a case where leaving makes sense: Google was hit with a literal bazillion-dollar fine in Russia.

It does not support Monokai because of reasons. That does not scream good taste to me. It screams something different.

Well, I am using ChatGPT as a pocket keto nutritionist and it is recommending an actual product brands quite often. Not sure if this is intentional or just learned behavior.

I have everything on on my series 6 LTE. After 23 hours on my wrist it usually at 50%. It is new though. But the screen is always on. It seems they have improved battery life on series 6 comparing with my old series 4.

Does the "bronze" plan have "out of pocket maximum"? It supposed to be 20% up to the OOM and total coverage after, right?
I do. Those 3 wheel cars/bikes in California...
Weather tax.
It's already just like that here in california. They schedule a free in-home sleep study, then lend you (again, for free) a CPAP machine for a week. Then you decide if you want to keep (buy) it.
Yeah, I've been provided with a CPAP machine for a week, and although it reduces the breath interruptions, just like in your case, it does not improve the quality of the sleep perceivably, just like in your case.

So I decided not to buy it after the week of the free test drive.

Yeah, a couple of years ago, I had an at-home sleep study. It was free for me with Kaiser insurance, so I guess the cost was neglectable.
I am in the USA, and my cheap ass insurance covered the sleep study in full.

CPAP machine, however, is upon deductible, so I have postponed it upon I'll have spent the deductible on something like CT.

In my case, the sleep study was done at home. I just have to wear some gear at night for a week or something.

Then a week of CPAP machine for free to feel if it's helping (I feel no improvement, although wife said there was no snoring with the machine).

If you have Apple care plus, you may just exchange the AirPods at some point during second year of wearing.
You must be living in a perfect world where people finally won laws of physics.

In my world, if you driving at speed limit near intersection you have zero chance to stop before the line. And even if you managed so, there is a very good chance that a driver behind will not have so good brakes and reflexes.

Now I have to host a miniflux to have relatively similar experience. Still, GR was much more convenient.

Re:Python in Visual Studio Code on Sunday September 09, 2018 @11:36PM (#17949221)
My story was: vim (5 years) -> emacs (7 years) -> sublime (2 years) -> atom (1 year) -> vscode (2 years and counting).

Switch from vim to emacs is obvious. Switch from emacs to sublime was triggered by moving from Linux to MacOS (my Thinkpad was failing after diving in a tropical rain so I bought a brand new MacBook).

But why?

Family plan on coveredca site costs about $13k/year. Or even less if your business is not yet profitable enough.

His car does not always veers.

He owns the car/work in apple/drive the same road to work - for about half year (i.e. >100 times) and according to the article he has just about 7-10 veering incidents here. Like one or two per month.

isn't thought about better world make you happy?
as of me, it takes about a year before I got an ability to see where code is good, bad or just ugly

probably, you may outsource it as well: cheap coders make code (months), every milestone you hire a hi rate consultant to audit the codebase (days)

what do you think?

Hi,

It's really horrible to see how easy anyone can remove competitors from Google play.

The DMCA claim is issued by well known in Russia litres company. This company is well known by DDOS attacks (which they paid for) to some Russian ebooks libraries. Litres loose this fight. Libraries won. Now they started fight again in opposite direction - to remove from Google Play any books reader which can have access (by OPDS) to such libraries (e.g. to lib.rus.ec library).

There is also second cause. Litres company has their own book reader in the Google play. You may check the page of this reader ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.litres.andr... ). Just yesterday, in the "Users who viewed this also viewed" list there was moon+ pro (now removed from market) on first place, Google books on second, then cool reader (may also be removed from Google play since author of the reader has already been threatened about that by litres) and finally moon+ again (not in the marked now). So, it seems, they just got attacked their main competitors (except for Google books by obvious reason).

Moon+ Reader has been installed 5 000 000 - 10 000 000 times (which is 50x times more that LitRes reader's installs number).
