That allows for uninterrupted Netflix streams and even the ability to join video conference calls. Starlink says it can offer speeds of up to 220Mbps per plane

Still on the pretty slow side considering that large planes can have a few hundred passengers. Still technically interesting I'm sure that communicating with a high-speed plane with an even higher-speed satellite comes with it's challenges.

Yes I would like something a bit stronger. Nonetheless it's a decrease unless they up the number accordingly. Right now a tip starting at 20% is in fact starting at 23% since it's on tax as well.

A step in the right direction. I’ve always found it very upsetting that before tip machines, the standard 15% tip was on the subtotal and now it’s always calculated on the total. We are double screwed in that over 15% has been pushed lately and the ``15%" is not the 15% that we used to have.

Finally. Hopefully removed from Civ V as well.

You don't have to play the multiplayer? The games already made it's not like they would skimp the single-player to focus on the multi-player mode.

My experience is the opposite. The hours 3-6 feel more dangerous to me because many drivers are in a rush and very uncourteous. At night there are just way less cars on the road and in general they are much more courteous. However I generally don't ride light enough for them to suffer from very bad sleep deprivation.

I carry a bag of salt to pour around me at stop lights

Well my light is angled downwards hopefully it's not a problem. But I'm not sure if it's actually brighter than modern car lights.

Actually I got it on Aliexpress (link). There might be better priced options but I got this one because it comes with an adaptor for GoPro mounts so I could mount it under my bike computer. It's otherwise much too heavy and large to mount on handlebars.

Feels safer than day riding too with a 2000LM light.

Honestly just need to find one that fits YOU and is safe.

I got a Bontrager Spectre Wavecell because it felt the best on my head from all the helmets I tried and the tech is safe (MIPS is also very good).

I wear it from -15°C to +30°C and it's good for me. The helmet is not the problem outside this range, it's just generally too hot/cold, it isn't the top of my head that gets way too hot/cold. As long as you don't get an aero helmet I think you won't have any temperature problems.

Except this time the DLC scales so being late/post game doesn't even save you

and 75% off

 

What is the state on PC like at this point? I heard when the game released it was a little bit unstable which has made me wait so far. Is it good now? I have a 5700x and a 3070.

Hi all,

Anybody do RF/Communications Engineering in Canada? Tell me a bit about your experience. I'm starting my PhD in the fall.

 

Looking to access the music from an Android app.

Currently I'm using Jellyfin (since I already use it for other stuff), but it isn't ideal. No option to download entire albums easily, and if the server is offline then I can't even use the music downloaded to my phone.
