Quelle est la chose que vous avez achetée et qui a vraiment amélioré votre vie ? (lemmy.ml)
 

Bonjour,

Je regardais récemment mon compte Amazon et j'ai vu que ma Kindle a maintenant 10 ans. Peut être c'est mon seul achat qui a 10 ans et est toujours là. Je l'ai acheté quand j'étais étudiant et pourtant 150€ n'était pas une petite somme pour moi à cette époque. Je ne me rappelle pas pourquoi je l'ai acheté car j'avais accès aux livres de la bibliothèque universitaire. Peut-être je voulais lire des bouquins en anglais qui n'y était pas disponibles.

J'ai lu beaucoup de livres grâce à elle, ça m'a permis d'apprendre l'anglais et l'espagnol et je n'avais plus à faire des heures dans le bus pour chercher un bouquin qui se trouve dans une bibliothèque à l'autre bout de la ville.

Many rich people are "donating" to avoid paying taxes and it another way for marketing. You are the proof of that, you are defending and promoting her.

Billionaires like her are the reason we have poverty and charity associations

I thought food is way cheaper in the US but considering the taxes and tip, the prices seems similar to Europe.

What type of cake are we talking here? Industrial or home baked? Also what size? I am talking about a cake of 6 portion of around 200g.

I was raised poor so even now that I can afford it, I feel something forbidding me from buying cake. That and knowing that I gain weight very easily and it takes me lots of hours to get raid of it.

I was watching the show Good Times about the struggle of poor black family. But after some episodes I felt it wasn't realistic and the family isn't really poor.

Need some advice to increase my storage capacity (lemmy.ml)
 

I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup.

I looked and I think I need a HDD rack or enclosure. Some people gave me links to good deals on ebay and some other sellers but they are based on the US and shipping fees are high. I saw this HDD enclosure and it seems to be what I am searching but I don't if they are good.

Do you have some advices for me?

Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. in c/[email protected]

That's just an excuse because many drugs are sold at prices much lower what they are sold in the US. They are not selling them at loss in other countries.
