The only reason I went to a WiFi 6 Mesh setup is coverage and consistency. Speed was never an issue in over a decade, except for with (later...)Chromecasts and/or FireTV sticks.

The WTO is probably right. I couldn't remember earlier, did some googling, and went with what I found. The WTO and IMF together are a global juggernaut. The ICC is ... the one that sticks out in my memory, for some reason.

There's the International Criminal Court, yes, but there's also the International Chamber of Commerce.

The confusion gives them(the Commerce peeps) a veneer of authority, although as a facet of the International Monetary Foundation that the US/EU requires countries to sign onto in order to do business, they do issue binding decisions versus member countries. That, or the US get's more hands-on with its meddling.

Realistically, Google and then the other Android manufacturers will stop business in Argentina. Grey market will then be filling that niche, almost cerainly with imported phones.

WTO/ICC Arbitration coming in 3 ... 2 ...

Honestly, I hope Google just stops doing business in Argentina. Let their courts tussle with phone manufacturers that sell Android devices until they do the same. Not the end of the world if your citizens have to buy such things grey-market or keep using what they already have, or buy devices with other operating systems.

Before you say Apple, Apple would have to handle it pretty much the same as Google if/when they get sued/prosecuted like so.

They got a baby. They dumped them on others when they outgrew that stage. There's a LOT of blame to go around.

A lot of the boundaries of today's imperium are still defined by the choices/successes/failures of people during the Dark Age of Technology and the Age of Strife.

The Great Crusade focused mostly on uniting worlds and systems that already had a human presence, and eliminating corruptible religions from them. For a good chunk of the galaxy, its never been colonized by humans, and for the foreseeable future, it will be left that way.

The Imperium is spread to thin, and its most ambitious leaders are focused on potential rewards for them and their worlds that they already know of. Map says "here be dragons"? Fuck it, until you find another map that says "here be treasure", "here be weapons", "here be humans making friends with xenos".

Not gonna lie, he scared the bejeezus outta me. Like, I just happened to look before I would have sat down. Animal-enamas-and-even-vaguely-adjacent-experiences rank damn near the top of my NO THANK YOU list.

There's a creek across the alley, but its also on the other side of a neighbor's property. I was never concerned at where he came from or how, just surprised he made the trip unscathed.

My house has an OLD sewer connection. Gotta snake the tubs and sinks(and formerly the kitchen sink and washer connections) so often that I used a hole-saw to remove the cross-shaped bits that would normally hold a plug(and catch a bit of hair).

You'll never guess what never comes out(any more) with our 50ft, 1/2-inch drain auger; Hair. Waxy stuff? Check. Black Goo? Check. Fricken YARN/threads from the washing machine on the other end of the house? Check. We've somehow got it down to where only the tubs need snaked regularly, but still, no hair any more.

I thought the whole house was sharing a 1.5-inch(okay, two inch) connection, then a few months back when there was flooding nearby, this bastard swam up our toilet:

Figure he needed at least a three inch pipe to get through without just getting stuck.

Best you can do is remove all funds from those accounts and have them lock them so they can't recieve deposits or issue withdrawals. THAT, they can absolutely do.

Any data deletion will probably happen automatically or not at all, but there's no incentive for them to retain any detailed transaction information beyond federal requirements, and yes, its seven or more years, depending on criterai like amounts and location.

Yeah ... it wasn't your site, it was my criteria and the ads changing just enough to be confused for results.

She's an indisputable beaut, now that I get how it works.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox mobile. Neither "mobile" site or Desktop versions. Hitting "Next/Enter" on my keyboard does nothing, there is no Submit button that I can see, and refreshing the page just resets all fields to defaults.

I don't want an Intel with 4gb RAM and a 256GB spinning drive, and OS included? No dice, that's what I'm offered. Without being able to filter results, its just another craigslist/amazon/newegg front-end ... a less useful one.

EDIT: Turns out there are zero fanless non-Intel, 16+GB RAM, 1024+GB SSD/eMMC offerings with USB-C to list. Strange no-one is packaging an OrangePi 5 Plus like so, but I haven't seen a fanless heat-sink sufficient to make that a good idea anyways.

I had tweaked some of the options, but without clearing either-or-both of those last two, especially "fan-less", all I was getting was the five sponsored "results" the top, which changed just enough to make it seem like that's all the results I could get.
