Lego very very rarely will design a new element for a set, let alone a Ideas/Creator set. For a new part, its in the neighborhood of 300-500k for a new injection mold for a single new piece. That's not going to happen for most one off sets. Sometimes sets do get designed with new pieces in mind, or when they really have a shortcoming. But I don't see anything obvious in the typewriter set that is purpose built.
Reviewing the bricklink entry for the typewriter, the only noticeable new items are the painted key tiles for the typwriter. Painting is a great way to give new life to old tiles. I see some new color options as well, but nothing "new"
The USD hasn't been that weak to the pound in quite some time. Quick currency conversion shows that 400 GBP is about 550 USD. The fact that the price is nearly doubled in USD seems very odd to me. Doubly so as the GPB price should be all in inclusive of VAT.
I have over 100 documented accounts between work, personal, and shared with my family. There is absolutely no way I am going to be able to manage all of those in my head forever.
I can easily recall the passwords for these that I used frequently. But not the ones I don't use normally.
There are a few different factors that all added up, at least from my understanding/point of view:
- AMD tried something new (FX series), that didn't go as well as they had hoped (they tried doing something similar to the P4 arc and thought they could do it better than intel). Which resulted in sub-par processors. So people continued to prefer Intel processors.
- Intel having no real need to continue to advance its processors with no serious threat, continued to do smaller iterations on its line, moving from a tick-tock cycle (big improvements, followed by a yearly refresh for additional small improvements) to more of a tick tick tock cycle (more yearly refreshes with marginal improvements).
- Intel also had issues getting their fabs down to smaller processors, which may have contributed to the change in how their cycles were going.
- Intel has also had more issues lately with speculate execution attacks, which due to their current design in how they implemented OoO-execution, has lead them to disabling some of this functionality. This disabling decreases some of their previous performance advantages. AMD has also been hit with some, but not to the same extent with intel, and usually not to the same level of performance degradation.
They are, but only kind of. Most places give you a MasterCard Debit or a Visa Debit. Its just linked directly to your bank account.
They (the banks) pass the security and processing to the CC systems instead of a unified debit network (that is still around).
When I got my first fancy visa debit i was told if i used it as a debit card, I'd get charged 25 cents, but if used it as credit there were no transaction fees. This was back in 2001-2 ?
I bank with a local(ish) bank that is growing, I have a free checking account and have for a very long time. They've also been really good to be about waiving fees, etc, though part of that is being on a legacy account older than I am. However other friends and family have reasonably similar experiences.
Consider stuff like wordpress, and other large programs that need an easy to re-use styling language. When you use something like bootstrap, and others know bootstrap, then you're making it easier for you and your customers down the line to build on something.
You can always write your own thing, and in many cases this will work, but then someone else is going to have to learn all of the quirks of your system before they can get up to speed and start using it at scale.
I'm probably about 2 years out of being bleeding edge, but php-fpm&nginx are far from defacto standard. At least when you look at how the web is being served at large, looking at cPanel/WHM.
I don't believe cPanel/WHM even supports nginx yet as a standard option.
Do you like platinum style beat-em-up/spectacle fighters? If yes, then for what it is, its a great little game.
If you do not like those games, then no. I got it as a gift, but I would have gladly paid 20-30USD for it. Even though I'm not a massive transformers fan.
There are a massive host of improvements between those two processors. Each release since Sandy Bridge has continued to increase performance between 5 to 10% in most tasks and more in some specifics. Over 4 releases that is a noticeable effect.
Some cats will pig out, even if food is regularly available and not scarce. You don't want to overfeed them. This gets way more complicated as the number of cats increase.
If you want to go down that route; feeding them raw and making their cat food would be for the best. However there is nothing wrong with dry food supplemented with other food.
We all have limitations on the amount of time we can spend with our loved ones (animals included). Making sure they are fed is very important, but sometimes you can't be around when they need their food.
This seems exactly like the best solution to the individuals problem.
Some cats do much better when they have other animals or cat friends to socialize with. It depends on a number of factors, and much like human, not every cat is the same.
The amount of desired human attention sought from cats in our household has has decreased as the number of cats in the has increased. That's not to say they don't still want our attention, or that we don't give it to them. Having friends to keep busy seems to make the days go by easier.
