It's a bit flexible nowadays because a lot of cars will let you leave the a/c on while you walk away with the keys.

I won't even post to Hexbear without rereading my post and editing spelling/grammar errors, how do people submit research papers that will effect their professional reputation without doing it?

Funny fact: google's newest feature is also its best, but it's kinda hidden and might not be available everywhere - it's "web search", which cuts out all the awful bullshit

that meddles in and disrupts the entire region

Are you talking about America? Because in every single instance Iran has been the stabilizing force, providing arms and training to local militias in order to defend themselves against America-backed threats including ISIS, the Saudis, and the IOF.

afaik castles have a recurring problem where rich people buy them saying "we're going to restore this and keep it authentic" but then as soon as they find out the price of doing that they backtrack and usually end up not doing anything. But I would prefer doing nothing to doing this.

False Consciousness. Some people clearly see the problems with capitalism and blame the Jews, some immigrants (and many both), and some people really believe the things they were taught in econ 101 and wind up blaming the problems of capitalism on not enough capitalism.

I think libertarianism as we see it in the US is a uniquely American phenomenon (which occasionally gets exported abroad like in Argentina) that's born out of our quasi-religious worship of the constitution and the founding fathers. Every US child is taught in school that the founders were all once in a generation geniuses and that the constitution is a masterwork of politics and not a badly outdated document that is only ever invoked by the ruling class to consolidate their own power. The founders believed that capitalist markets were a force for liberation, so we get taught that in high school - although ironically the modern version of that idea of a completely unfettered market is not at all what the American founders had in mind, it's the extreme that you get to by following their logic.

Can I get some enterprising North Koreans to steal my identity so that I can put their work experience on my CV?

I lived in Japan when streaming was becoming a thing. Everything was region blocked, and DVDs were (and still are) horrendously overpriced for what you get.

I'm sure all of those programs are great, but in the modern world I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't ever just use VLC.

We're leftists and our site culture is pretty aggressive. Liberals are predisposed not to like us because of the first one, and we're especially prone to arguing with them in the comments of their instances because of the second. This means we're more well known and more disliked than we would be if we stayed in our corner.

 

I was trying to install a repack of The Sims 3 with all of the expansions, full size about 31 GB, onto a drive that had about 300 GB of free space. Left it running overnight, woke up to my computer completely locked up because the repack had filled every single bit on my SSD.

Recovered my computer, verified the download according to the instructions on the Fitgirl site, tried again. This time I let it run for about an hour, at which point it had created a 150 GB folder. I cancelled the install, and then found that it was still filling up my SSD until I killed all twelve "fgrepack" processes that the installer had created.

This was on Linux, using Bottles. I've installed Fitgirl stuff using this method before without issues.
