Yeah they can fuck right off with that.

Paywalled, anyone got an archived link?

"AI husband". WTF. It's good those people get a well needed reality check... Seems like 5.0 is fixing some of its predecessor's shortcomings.

I do that regularly, with internal storage of 512 GB and higher, write speed to external devices is not unimportant at the very least.

Though with wifi 6 and higher you can get a decent throughput via ftp as well.

Maybe you could share which exact ones you need?

I used to access them through my university and they came in some proprietary Adobe DRM format that I couldn't open without a university account, with copy & paste blocked and all that.

Was fairly straightforward to take screenshots though and run them through a simple OCR program.

Library Genesis has quite a few ISO standards.

And using Google, Bing and Yandex with the parameter "filetype:pdf" is also surprisingly effective.

I haven't tried searching for any Australian standards, but maybe that's a starting point?

He already publicly apologized for hitting his ex while high on coke, so he can't deny everything.

Other people on the show earn a salary as well, they might pay guests a participation fee, and there's also opportunity cost to consider if an alternative show has a potential to generate higher (ad-)revenue.

Still sounds unlikely.

That's a British police uniform, standard issue.

Embrace who you are, as cheesy as it sounds, and turn your quirks into advantages.

Going bald? Who cares, I started balding from 19 years old, and at 21 I had a sizeable spot at the back of my skull that I could touch with one finger without brushing against surrounding hair. Figured I'd rather be bald than looking like a haggard whimp, shaved it the same day and never went back. I'm in my 40s now.

Heavy lifting/physical work: Pumping iron isn't the only way to get a defined and conventionally attractive physique. Look into exercises to build core strength and arm muscles through calisthenics, yoga, plank holds and the likes. Work with a trainer who can give you proper guidance.

Relationships: Not every relationship is built on love. There are transactional relationships just as well, which might be frowned upon in public, but depending on the source, 30-50% of men engage in them regardless. Might work wonders for your self esteem. Of course if you choose to do so, have your local legislation in mind, travel might be required.

As for generally embracing and grounding yourself, guided meditations are pretty neat. Sometimes offered through yoga centers (it's a good combination in general and a relaxing hobby that still works on your physical limitations). I probably wouldn't do either online, having a person to guide you along for the first few times is quite important. You might also run into like minded people there, which can help to foster relationships (looking at platonic here first and foremost, an active friends group really helps to build confidence as well).

Now we're talking! 😁

I also quite like the Andechser Monk brew.
