The one in your link is 20l which is similar to the one I linked. If you drop down to a ten litre they seem to be slightly more reasonable so say something like this:

The ones with smaller tanks again are cheaper, might be ok just for stopping mould developing in a room but probably not much good for drying clothes in winter

At some point post war, a group met to discuss a preferred description. Asian was the chosen over other options. One of the other terms in consideration was “yellow” (which I found surprising). Filipinos present voted against it as they considered themselves brown.

At what point does rhetoric cross that threshold where it becomes inflammatory enough to justify censorship.
Does his account get banned in the event that the Capitol Building doesn't get stormed but his tweets are exactly the same or is the ban simply reactive to the actions of others.

TikTok is genuinely class. For those brief moments in the day when you just want to switch off. I just block anything that seems even slightly political or serious. Mostly Irish cunts that want to bring their complaining to a new platform. But 99% of stuff there is mindless upbeat fun.

Lots of non-Irish people went home during the first wave and have now got serious tax issues. That is one thing pushing people back."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Have you checked your leccy bills to reconcile?
How much of your processing power do they access or fo you just restrict them to times when you wont be using computer?

I’m interested how US firms based here approach it. They must see the benefit of having people not leave offices at 5/6 local time to commute an hour and instead use at least a proportion of that time to communicate with those in the US.

I tried to explain that spreading misinformation of any kind is bad and he said if its proven that the Gard didn't kill himself he will take it down. Tried to explain that the damage is already done, even if he deleted it and he couldn't see it.
As you say, it's all in the head.

There is no other level that will have the same effect - anyone who has ever bought BTC is hugely in profit so it's hard to think of a figure a sell wall would be constructed at. There isn't much difference in selling at 45k or 48 than 50k.

So finally feeling a bit chipper..
Basically since last Tue week have had an elevated temp between 100 and 102degs pretty much 24/7 unless suppressing with paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Constant headache from the higher temp, breathing a bit laboured, chills, weird pains that came and went, no energy, no appetite (soup and a few crackers was about all I could eat on daily basis) and no taste or smell.
Got worse after about 6 days with cough, pain on inhalation and higher temp.
It finally broke on Fri am sometime when I woke up completely soaked in sweat. So fever free now since then so another day or so I can venture out and see how the lungs hold up to a walk.
Worst part about it is the rinse and repeat nature of it.
It's not like a normal illness where you feel bad get worse get better.
It was pretty much day 1 repeated 10 times with an escalation after day 5.
My routine for the past long while now ...
Close contacts zero
Christmas shopping zero
Socialising zero
Family/Friends met zero
I suppose my part time job in retail put me at high risk despite my Howard Hughes like approach to sanitizing.

I think generally it depends on your function. Tech people get far more leeway than business."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I'm finding WFH really nice. Have a nice set up at a hair drying desk in a nice bedroom in the house. It's a corner room so two windows which creates a nice comfortable office.
Am working solely on a new product launch, lots of time spent studying, learning all about it.
Being able to take a break and mess about with the kids is amazing. Also just nipping out for a run on the lunchbreak.
Employer giving me all the time and space I need really helps.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I only give access to my GPU as rates for CPU are so much lower and puts the CPU at 80% load so really not worth it.

I'm sure a situation like this wasn't overlooked when planning protocol around ending the world.

key point:
A senior military official stressed on Friday that troops have been taught to recognize and disobey illegal orders, particularly those at U.S. Strategic Command, which oversees America’s nuclear arsenal. While theoretically Trump could fire any officer who refused to obey an illegal order, he would be hard-pressed to find another who would implement it, the person said."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
