That's the whole reason why small businesses can be special, because they get to choose their clientele.
Yes, but you get a sense for what it is to be that employee, which was the whole point. I own my own business. Electronic repair. I also worked as an employee for another company that did electronic repair (but not to the extent I do). So I have a sense of what it means to be an owner and employee and all the differences in-between. It's important if you want to be relatable to your customers. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL I would just grow my own tobacco.
This. In all western countries they add "flavor enhancers" which is basically a bunch of chemicals that not only add to the addiction, but also the cancer too. Chinese tobacco smokers, who typically smoke directly from dried leaf, are on the level of somewhere around 1/8th the cancer rate. We must also keep in mind, everything we drink or ingest has some level of radioactive material that could be considered "cancerous". Boron in the rocks and trees. Minimal background outer space radiation. Radioactive iodine in the smallest of levels but still there if you live in Europe.
So instead of banning the naturally growing plant, just plant the idiots that misuse it or the corporate faggots that add a bunch of shit to it. How bou' dah? -

Originally posted by Lanny I think I'm going to open a bar as a semi-retirement plan. A little place, maybe 20 seats. I'll get behind the bar and make the drinks some nights, play the piano for the patrons, hopefully make enough to cover my booze. I think it will be a pretty chill gig, not like there's ever a lack of demand for alcohol.
as a couple other dudes said, go actually work in a bar first. Go work in the upper class whiskey bar as you're describing. Get a feel for what it means to actually be a person that makes that dream of yours come true. -

2019-07-04 at 2:19 PM UTC in How 2 know if laptop can recieve new gramphics cardThis doesn't tell us whether the CPU is acting as GPU as well (as is with AMD APU's) or if you have something like Intel HD graphics, or if you have a dedicated PCIE slot to upgrade.
We need your model. Look on the bottom of the laptop for a model. If it is an HP, it might read 15-da0032wm or some shit. If you can't seem to locate one, remove the battery. It will almost certainly be under there. -

And whether you are a pedo or a brony, it's nice to know that no one can get into your system without your permission. Windows passwords and implementations that just 'lock' the desktop are easily defeated by bootkits. Take Konboot for instance. You boot into Konboot on a windows system and you can bypass the password prompt entirely.
ahhhh my dear, but it does! The measured disk speeds are negligible on a SSD but on a HDD, it can be substantial!
Remember, each read/write cycle has to be decrypted/encrypted before use. This utilities CPU and HDD/SDD, also power source if using battery on laptop. If you want max speed, you won't encrypt. If you want max security, you will. Granted, given on better hardware not typically found in laptops, the tax that encryption gives is negligible. Unfortunately, you will almost certainly experience a tax on speed if you encrypt using an "off the shelf" laptop.

Or simple "hacks" like renaming Utilman to cmd.exe
Or using a program such as Passcape that resets the password, breaks the password, or converts their Microsoft login to local with cleared password.
So many ways. Hell, even macOS disk encryption isn't fool proof. -
2019-07-04 at 1:59 PM UTC in How 2 know if laptop can recieve new gramphics cardIt would help to know the model. Virtually all laptops, unless they are marketed and sold as "gaming laptops" use some form of integrated graphics. That said, if you have purchased a "gaming laptop" from companies such a Clevo, MSI, etc, then yeah, you might be able to.
Protip: When asking a specific question, provide the hardware you're using. It makes things much easier for those offering you help. You get better help too. JUST SAYIN'. -
