I don't think consumer grade 16TB SSDs exist. At least not as a single module. Do they?

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

I'm not saying he's an all-round upstanding guy. I even heard he refuses (or refused?) admitting to having a daughter outside of marriage. But we also need to keep in mind that he's a dinosaur at this point, and expecting progressive views from an old rich dude from Hong Kong/China is pushing it.

Yeah, with exception of Polish, which used Latin from the start, Czech and Slovak briefly used Glagolitic alphabet, which is much closer to Greek alphabet and basically the precursor to Cyrillic. I should've been more specific.
Some Slavic languages did switch directly from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet though. And some non-Slavic languages use Cyrillic to this day (although in process of switching to Latin).

In China and Hong Kong if you're famous, you support everything CCP does. Because if you don't, you're not famous at best and missing at worst.

Not all, some have switched to Latin, like Polish, Czech, Slovak, to name a few.

And yet, lots of people choose not to do what they hate for money. Obviously, if you can get paid well for doing what you love is a win-win, but the point of my argument is that a lot of people don't really care about money, beyond having enough to get by.

I sense a long response, but how and why was she being mistreated? I'm just mad they had to write Jadzia off and replace her with that pixie-looking girl (Ezri). Jadzia and Worf dynamics were the best.

It still might be, don't give up hope!
