Do the land claims that where sold 4-5 years ago cover the river?

Land claims dont cover water. Thats an optional extra. As is the airspace.

usb c pins are not very large. that is quite some juice running through narrow pins.

Not all things can be “fixed” buy they make a a lot of replacement parts if you want to live a relatively pain free life as you age.
A local 72 year old auto mechanic had his complete shoulder replaced last year. Was it painful, YES. But the doc said he’d be right as rain in a year and they weren’t lying.
Knee and hip replacements are not outpatient surgery but they ain’t magical either.

Aye, depends what it is. Knee replacements for active people might last 5 years, most surgeons wont consider replacing a active 65yo as it will wear out too quickly. Might be different over the pond with private healthcare. A hip would consign me to the bin, there is no way im wild camping or riding my motorbike round the hills with a dodgy hip.

Luckily I live in a very liberal EU country so I have choices. As others have said, no regrets, disappointing of course, who doesn't want to experience more...

I haven't read about the specifics (assuming they are available) of Naomi Judd's physical or mental health. But I will say, I personally believe for anyone over the age of 75 (she was 76), you aren't necessarily mentally ill just because you want to end your life. And my age restriction can be cleared for people who are not healthy. Seventy five is a plenty. You if you want to live "as long as possible", more power to you. For me, quality is at least an order of magnitude more important than quantity. And I guarantee you, when my quality dips sufficiently I'll have no quibbles of taking the exit myself if it isn't already looming close by...

Im north of 60 by a few years now. I enjoy a decent physical life full of hill walking and gentle running, ive even taken up rowing in the last few years. However the parts are starting to wear out, my knees are not what they were and muscles take a lot longer to heal after a heavy session. Im lucky enough to have had a good full life, ive experienced a lot, been to a lot of places and done some amazing things.

There is no fucking way I could handle being housebound or unable to toilet/shower/feed myself. I would not want to be a burden to any of my family so its a train journey to "Dignitas" for me when the time comes. Ive squared this away with my kids and my OH. Grandkids will also know - death is just as natural as living but im sure as damned going out on my terms.

SMR drives are perfectly fine for backup purposes. I would also rather have multiple backups than a single one for the cost.

Save the CMR for internal storage.

id take a 5 hour quality game over a 50 hour of same repetetive crap any day.

When feature creep needs to be taken to a new level. add river tech to a space game.

And then sell boats.

not all docking stations are created equally. Dell optiplex laptops and docks are just extensions of the ports that are already in the laptop, these are pretty good things to have if you need to move between home and office with a laptop. However, almost all those USB ones are additional devices that are usually running from cheap crappy chipsets. Those will add a noticeable drag on system performance because you are now bypassing the laptops own nice internal sound, video, network cards and USB controllers for a shitty USB version.

to be fair, optiplexes are meant to be run as either leases or with support.

If you are spending 5k and not adding on support then you are even more daft (for spending 5k on this piece of junk)

in the 80s I was mad about bikes. I had a kawasaki gpz900r that went like stink. I remember leaving a military base in germany and absolutely honking it up the autobahn to catch a ferry in holland. I was in my early 20s so naturally I was invincible, that meant fully wound out. I did that at least twice a month.

No idea why I didnt die, I nearly did a few times.

copyright infringement isnt a crime in all countries.

In others you have to demonstrate an actual sale was lost, not just an extrapolation. Easy to defend that a 13 year old with no money was never going to buy a 60 game.

giving the free weekend a try. So far ita huuuuge and unstructured. im level 8 and bombarded with quests and pretty much no info on what to do.

luckily there is reddit so im now on a path following the recommended quest order. Playing as a templar khajit as that seemed a good solo jack of all trades option.

I played cp77a little after launch, ut wasnt to great compared to what was promised but was ok. patches and mods made it a decent game. Not as polished as GTA 5 or rdr2 but better than saints row series IMHO.

I did a corpo run through after 1.5 hit and its a decent enough game. Still glaring AI issues and the police coding is still awful. Quite playable though and there are some good mods.

for some reason I always thought this was F2P. I might check it out over the easter weekend.

hopefully as modable as ksp, the mods made the game.

looking at sega games in the last few years I think there is only the totalwar series I have had from them. Ill be damned if id buy any nfts to begin with, never mind for their back catalogue.

i use rules and plus addressing. Keeps a lot of spam out of the way. I rarely use my non plus address.

I havent found Picard to be good. Im happy to skip through it, which is unknown for me and trek. Still, its not as bad as the trainwreck that is discovery.

It was odd walking around Japan seeing swastica esk Buddhist symbols everywhere Obviously they arent nazi swastika symbols when you look closer.

nfts of randomly generated shite for hundreds of dollars. some muppets have more money than sense.
