I can understand that you don’t have those in Canada, but there should be other options right? Maybe contact support?

I think you’re on the verge of understanding the problem. You’re so close. Just trust that the guy you’re replying to isn’t an idiot and you’ll finally understand.

Sure in the Netherlands you have options. But other places aren’t the Netherlands. Different countries have different options, but Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal work pretty much everywhere.

Edit: Completely unrelated, I’m munching on some licorice Mentos I found in the Dutch section of my local grocery store here in West Michigan, and I just want to thank the entire population of the Netherlands for the wonderful things y’all have done with licorice. No one likes it here, so no one bothered. But the variety your country comes up with for this stuff, it’s fantastic.

Intermittent fasting.

Like any form of weight-loss the real mechanism is a calorie deficit, but intermittent fasting makes that really easy for some people. I lost like 30lbs in six months. Takes a bit to kick in but then goes pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, losing weight is a long journey. People who are very overweight have more fat cells than others (because those cells divide when they get big enough) and those fat cells WANT to hold onto fat. And they’ll release hormones to achieve that goal. So your body will desperately be calling for you to overeat.

This is part of why weight-loss tends to be a spiky line for people. I gained back all of the IF weight I lost, and then some. Still below my highest recorded weight by a good 20lbs, but I’m just now getting back on the IF horse, hoping to make better progress this time.

That example photo is with the icons set to white (or similar). By default the icons are still colorful. They showed it off during WWDC and it looks mostly good.

Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.

Yup! Cause it looks like you’re smuggling some small birds in there!

Honestly I don’t know. But I do know it was pretty understeer prone when stock, so I’m not sure.

I didn’t even know how to drive stick when I bought it, so I didn’t want to have to learn both stick and RWD. Especially not with the ice and snow we get here in Michigan. 😅

I am so thankful for the FR-S. I have a 2015 Scion tC, and when the FR-S dropped Scion updated the design language of the gen 2 tC (2011-2013) to the gen 2.5 (2014-2016) to copy some of the language of the FR-S, and it looks SO MUCH BETTER.

(Such a fun little car. Not as much fun as the FR-S, I’m sure, but a 2-door Corolla with a Camry/RAV-4 engine and a six-speed manual transmission is a blast, let me tell you.)

And it’s on the IAEA to declare that they are indeed working on a weapons program, not speculation and assumption like yours.

Okay. Don’t use your reason if you’d prefer not to. It does make me wonder though:

Do you think the killing of the civilian scientists was wrong because they were civilian scientists, or because they were ostensibly working on an energy program?

Because as I said, I’m not claiming the murders were justified, just that we ought to be honest about the why.

There are plenty making the argument that Iran needs a nuclear weapons program to prevent exactly these types of attacks. That is intellectually honest. I’m not sure where I fall on that argument, I’d rather no one have nuclear weapons (but obviously that’s not going to happen).

The difference between 5% and 60% enrichment is pretty huge. And the research and effort required to get there is neither cheap nor easy. If what they’re after is nuclear energy, there is absolutely no reason to continue risking the ire of the international community and the repeated attacks by Israel. They’ve had energy-level uranium for a very long time already.

Thank you. The depths of that man’s evil never cease to amaze me.

According to the IAEA, the Natanz site was producing uranium enriched to 60% u-235.

For electricity, you need 3-5% u-235.

That’s not an energy program, that’s a weapons program.

It’s civilian scientists working on nuclear energy we are talking about.

Is it though? What level of enrichment do they need for a nuclear energy program, and what level of enrichment were they at? I think it’s naive to say they weren’t working on a weapon.

I’m not saying it justifies killing civilian scientists, but we ought to be honest about the why.

I don’t believe that has been confirmed, but I could be wrong.

Edit: I stand corrected.

It also helps to be as far south as possible. You get to use more momentum to help get orbit, if I understand it correctly.

IIRC, that’s why NASA launches from Florida. That and the coast making launch failures safer.

(But I am not a physicist.)

Oh don’t worry, I wasn’t accusing you of saying they were worthless. I was just voicing my own concern for some of my former coworkers.

Having worked in a call center (doing survey research) during college, there are a lot of people employed by such places who really wouldn’t have many employment options anywhere else.

I remember saying, while there, that the entire industry would be replaced by AI in 10-15 years. They all scoffed, saying they had ways to get people to answer surveys that an AI wouldn’t be able to do. I told them they were being naive.

Here we are.

That said, I do worry about some of those people. Just because they were borderline unemployable doesn’t mean they were worthless.

For what it’s worth, choosing the T-Mobile option wouldn’t lock it to T-Mobile. It just includes some extra setup stuff, IIRC. If you’re buying it from Apple it isn’t carrier locked (with the exception of an AT&T installment plan, not sure if they still offer that).
