This is the sort of stuff I was excited about AI for in the 2010s when development started showing results. Before tech(bro) companies ruined the term.

Saaaaaaake

Yeah, I just hate it when I go to a concert and it’s all fireworks covering up the music I went to see. Would suck if the opposite happened…

This appeared as a moral dilemma

The baseline just changes

That isn’t storing stock metal, then, it’s just hoarding. It doesn’t matter the condition, or purpose, or any deals. It’s just accumulating -stuff-. It possibly being used for xyz is just superfluous

I guess “hoarding” is the answer I expected, not (they think) it can potentially be useful.

Doesn’t sound like they are actually using it. How much stock metal do you need to store if your consumption of the stock metal is (near) zero? Don’t think that theory holds weight here.

It is imperative that the branch not be damaged

Search for your specific model, it may or may not be this link, but for a Zenbook 14 this came up after searching “ASUS Zenbook 14 support”.

You’ll need to format a flash drive and save the BIOS update to it, then boot into BIOS and run the update. For many laptops, instead of saving a BIOS update to the drive you may need to run a setup tool (usually a .exe, so may need compatibility tool) and boot to the USB.

As for frequency, just periodically check the notes for the BIOS releases and determine whether to update based on the features or patches in it. Not necessary to update for everyone one, and many security updates will be more for servers than general purpose personal computers, but that’s up to your own risk analysis.

Thank you, never would have seen a rooster without that tip.

What about a sentient bowl of petunias that is falling to its “death”, again, and is the reincarnation of a rabbit, whale, fly, and cow? Or an android monk believing everything was the same shade of pink, making it too early to move from the spot it was on for fear of falling off a cliff, so it sat on the back of the (manufactured, organic) horse it was riding?

Yes, there can be multiple books that are weird or have weird stories. It doesn’t have the be the weirdest one to still be weird.

This bit has nothing to do with America, we don’t have that kind of space between floors in residential buildings, either. You have plenty of real things to shit on us for, but this isn’t one of them.

Have you tried wearing socks on, shoes off? I have never in my life been at a point where my feet were too cold for just socks indoors, have mostly lived with hardwood or tile flooring, and also live somewhere with fairly cold winters.

I just cannot fathom shoes-on arguments. Shoes can be so uncomfortable when lounging around the house.

“You” the general public, not “you” mrgoosmoos

Exactly…? If no one goes in, the store gains no benefit (only expending the cost of being open). But stores will open just on the off chance of customers coming in. And customers do go in, because the stores are open. Sometimes they go in and don’t even buy anything.

If you want retail employees to be able to spend holidays with their families, don’t go shopping on holidays. Make it unprofitable to be open.

The catch 22 is that the companies are opening on these days to catch the customers that come out. People go because the store is open, the store is open because people go. If people consistently, collectively didn’t go in, the stores would close.

Yeah, so if a snowman was built on their lawn, on their property, and not on the street, and that snowman happened to have a solid core, whoever built the snowman should not be liable for any damages

Doesn’t it depend where the obstacle is, though? I’m assuming these are cars parking on the road, or at least a shoulder or driveway. If the cars are pulling up onto a front lawn and parking under the kitchen window of a house, that’s entirely different. I’m pretty sure filling a traffic cone with concrete and placing it in a path a car is expected to drive on is going to get you in trouble anywhere. I doubt building a snowman with a stump or concrete core in the middle of a lawn on private property would get you in trouble in most places.

People who don’t like winter act like they are freezing to death the second it’s below 50F
