Debian laptop user here, left Windows on my gaming desktop for a decent while. Now that I’m more accustomed to Linux DE’s I installed Nobara on it about a month ago. Zero issues with the NVIDIA variant on my 3080 so far
I think that’s true for small containers, such as a can. Whereas 1.5L is an impractical amount to drink of anything, more likely to lead to drinking until satiation rather than until the container is finished. Especially where the starting point of the habit involves opening a fresh container with a certain aesthetic, and finishing it. That itself can be psychologically addicting. It was for me.
Neither aluminium nor plastic are infinitely recyclable. I read somewhere that factoring in the energy and materials required in the initial production of the container, plastic is about 13x more wasteful. So while of course it depends on serving size (which would logically be different transitioning from small cans to large bottles), as well as recycling programs in your area and their respective efficiencies, you’re most likely correct that the carbon footprint of large bottle would be higher overall.
What I really meant to get at was ‘waste’ in terms of the amount of empty containers that tend to pile up around you. For myself being addicted to drinking cans of fizzy, I would stack them around me and it would become a much larger job to clean them up than it is for large bottles.
I’ll also say that while being addicted to cans, I lamented their relatively higher cost and was more compelled to go for small bottle form factor on occasions where they were available cheaper than cans, rather than large bottles. Small bottles of course being by far the most wasteful.
Switch to a caffeine-free version some of the time, then all of the time. For Pepsi Max this is only available in the 1.5L bottles where I am, so add in an extra step switching from cans to bottles (which should also reduce cost/waste).
Buy a nice reusable water bottle and ensure you have a clean, not-bad-tasting source of fresh water to fill it with (where I am this means bottled or filtered). Keep it filled and close to you at all times. Only use water in it.
Once you’re comfortable with these adjustments, taper off the fizzy drink. If you’re still having significant trouble or cravings, or substitute for something worse: just keep drinking the fizzies. It’s one of the least harmful bad habits you could have, and depending on your circumstances might be a best case scenario

Thinking more about it, rather than getting something like a suorin edge, you’d be better off just getting a backup pod system of whatever type you already have/enjoy.
Pod devices are essentially just a battery in a hard case as it is. To go a more hot-swappable method than they already are would involve compromises you might not have considered.
Suorin have some user-replacable battery models

Yes, for a loading method which takes time to complete the conversion rate will generally be locked in from the time the transfer was initiated. You can always preview the received converted amount. Although the transfer method may vary depending on availability in the recipient account country, the various timeframes and fees (where applicable) have always been previewed accurately.
For myself I have set up MFA for payments via the app, so I will routinely be required to use the app to authenticate a payment. However other MFA methods are available. I can’t think of any other function the website itself doesn’t do.
Given there is no additional fee for converting at a foreign point of sale, I just load up in my home currency as there are free/instant methods available and convert to whichever destination currency at point of sale, ensuring to select not to have the balances converted by visa/master at terminals which have that function.
Hope you enjoy your time in Japan!
I’d recommend searching about their fees this because it’s going to vary a bit based on your local currency. Their documentation on the topic is easy to read and answers your first two questions better than I could put it.
I’ve rarely had to interact with support so I couldn’t give a useful response about that in earnest. They do have local support in the two major countries in which I’ve interacted with them and it’s been fine.
The KYC process is standard for a digital money account AFAIK. I signed up in 2017 originally to handle a one-off transfer between local bank accounts in different countries, so I’d not have bothered investing much time in it if it was a hassle. I haven’t had to re-identify myself or think about it since, despite migrating across several countries, starting to use the physical card etc. I imagine I gave them my government ID though.
That’s a good approach, I just don’t have the patience for it & won’t have time to binge anytime soon. Have you watched S1 recently? I’d highly recommend it; the 3-year gap + immediate continuity had me forgetting some important stuff.
Based off your personal Netflix streaming data? There’s no API for recommendations available externally. You would need to input that data into another platform. Trakt isn’t the most open, but it’s probably the most compatible with pirate services. Tbh I find that browsing ‘top trending’ on whatever add-on isn’t much different specifically for targeting results from Netflix though
I’ve used wise.com for this sort of thing for many years (since they used to be called transferwise). Can spin up as many virtual visa cards as you need (I think it’s max 10 active at once). I also have a physical debit card with them which will do conversions at foreign points of sale from my local currency using the mid market rate and fees much lower than visa/master. Never had an issue with them, though this is more a sort of obfuscation rather than privacy
Severance. The intrigue is unmatched.
I’ve been prompted to manually drag the app into the Applications folder during install flow multiple times. It wasn’t a substitute for an installation wizard, it was a part of it. I’m familiar with archives as well as .debs, .rpms and tarballs, and none of these or Windows equivalents required such interaction. Yeah, it’s due to my unfamiliarity. In my state of being relatively unfamiliar with Mac OS, it seems pretty fucking weird.
Installing a downloaded app by dragging the .dmg into your Applications folder.
Just why? What is the case where I download an app installer, execute the installer, but don’t want the app installed?
How were the trackers added to these torrents? Assuming either a) you added them manually, or b) the tracker you downloaded the torrent files from bundled them into the torrent file?
If b), if you downloaded the torrent file again now that one of its trackers is defunct, would it still be bundled?
If no, or if a), you could remove the torrents without touching the downloaded data, then locate your “snatch list” on the private tracker (a list of all torrents you’ve downloaded), batch download them all and add them to qbt, assuming same output folder they will detect the downloaded files and go to 100% without downloading anything.
If yes, there isnt a way I can think of to remove the trackers as a batch, but aside from tidiness of your client there shouldn’t be any actual problem resulting from them being there.
Shrinking. For whatever reason I forgot about the whole cast other than Ford/Segel by the time S2 came around, but I remembered how much I enjoyed S1 as soon as I threw it on. Finished the season within a couple of days. A+
You gotta actually break the procurement cycle where they receive books free to own themselves and it’s not some janky copy before they realise this way is better
