It may be inherently flawed, but we can't just arbitrarily emit wavelengths of light with current technology. Realistically I doubt we ever could, we would need to alter the emission energies of materials on the fly, which would be akin to actual magic. It is frankly amazing it works as well as it does notwithstanding.

The problem with this is primarily that windows uses NTFS as it's filesystem. Being proprietary, NTFS has never played well with Linux and installing it to an NTFS partition is regarded as a genuinely terrible idea. Converting partitions safely is nearly impossible to do in place.

The ancient Romans made it a point to not buy slaves from the asbestos mines due to their poor health, it has been known for far too long that asbestos is harmful. It also happens to be insanely useful.

Chantix, and yeah, that's probably it. I had the most vivid dreams on it.

You don't need a modchip to get a HDD to work, you can flash the drive with FreeHDBoot and just plug it in to the PS2.

Guam Dynamo? I know it had a really ritzy sounding name

Oooo, this one actually happened to me. Head on collision with a barrier at 80mph, fell asleep at the wheel after getting out of a 27 day stint in the ICU. Dare To Be Stupid by Weird Al was playing when i collided.

Sounds like a disorder relating to MPD, but it could be any number of things. My advice is to be supportive as much as you can be, when ones own mind is the issue it just feels impossible to deal with.

Not all disorders are ones that will affect work in "predictable" ways, everyone is different. They might just like practicing dialects and not have particularly strong social and coping skills.

As difficult as it can be to interact with people like that, keep in mind their perspective: it might feel like everyone wants to alienate them which makes it difficult to interact without that assumption tainting the experience.

I work in a grocery store, and while I would still need to be in about 25-30 hours a week to ensure product is on the shelves a massive amount of my time at work is useless facing and looking busy after the first few hours of real work restocking. If I was paid fairly I could come in for about 3 hours every day and have everything that needed done done without spinning on a thumb all day just to barely make rent.

Realistically it won't make a difference since you have an unlocked bootloader anyway and you won't be able to pass strong integrity with it unlocked regardless. It just makes using some apps a bit of a headache, but if you can deal with playing cat and mouse with safetynet fixes it's not really much of an issue.

As far as apps, I recommend the gappsmod to get the Pixel dialer features and AdAway as a baseline, but it really depends on what you want to do with the device.

I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.

I have had a Logitech G600 and a Corsair Scimitar that have both had issues in the past. The G600 had the switch outright die and the scimitar developed inconsistent scrolling (also super stiff and hard to middle click anyway).

I do a lot of web browsing and RuneScape, which uses the middle mouse button to move the mouse and I tend to rebind the DPI buttons under the wheel to the middle mouse button to compensate.
