I applied, wasn’t accepted ☹️ they’re looking for PhD level, not BS/MS

Considering he has a notepad and pen out, I’m guessing he’s a translator.

I think the biggest draw to Synology now is the ultra low power consumption. Yeah, you could totally repurpose an old PC, but it’s crazy to run 500W perpetually. The reason they use old Celeron processors is the low power draw. In time, hopefully, RISC V can produce some low cost systems that would slot in well for this use case.

Does the red say “Fuck sharia”?

There’s a bunch of influencers online that did the “boat life” thing in the Caribbean, so definitely check those out to learn from their mistakes.

I’d be willing to go out on a limb and say boating westward, from Panama, in the pacific would be basically impossible in a pedestrian boat.

The hard winters of QC really jack up the cost of living to the point where it’s not really worth it compared to other options you’ve listed. Also, immigration is more difficult in Canada vs France, IMHO (Canada is pretty strict about “what benefit will you bring to the country from your citizenship?”). Granted, Guyana is probably cheap living, but it’s really difficult to live there without being fluent in French (many of the locals speak French as a second language; relying on English to communicate will be incredibly difficult when French is the unifying language there, not English). The entire département has less than 300K people living there.

France is by far and away the best European country to immigrate to if you want to explore overseas tropical territories!

Get to at least an A2 level in French before traveling there, with B1 being a stretch goal. France is really well laid out, and there’s almost an obsessive compulsive culture of labeling everything, so you can really learn the language by just walking around a major city and reading everything.

I’d imagine establishing residence in Paris would be the easiest way to go about immersing yourself, getting naturalized, and then moving on to wherever else. Remember, the tropical overseas départements are generally financially poor and lack opportunities even for locals. There’s a reason why there aren’t giant populations in these tropical places.

Il y fait un peu froid… pourquoi pas Paris? Marseille?

By the time I was in school the Bohr model was already proven inaccurate, but was taught anyway because the orbital model is too esoteric for teenagers 🙄.

Where are they mandated?

Child abuse. I thought it was normal to threaten children with violence for noncompliance. I thought it was normal to be afraid to misbehave or be suboptimal in school at the threat of violence.

Turn off touchscreen beep on the car infotainment screen.

Was literally about to post about that. Going into this I was hoping the new trade war shit would’ve reignited the desire to switch, but alas: disappointment 🙃

As someone close to these kinds of communities, this is what they voted for, and are happy about it. Those with the ability to vote are voting to depopulate the community because they believe it will increase the economic opportunities available to them.

How long do we reckon until they figure out the decryption keys and Switch 2 games become piratable on stock hardware?

It’s a statewide race.

I guarantee you that if they wanted to enshittify Google play services they’d just make the update mandatory.

I actually really like it, it’s just really out of place lmao

Kentucky and Mass are both approved drivers’s licenses in France among others. It’s kinda random which states actually put in the work to have reciprocity.
