You’re free to be overwhelmed, whelmed, or underwhelmed in any country! It’s just uncommon to remove any prefix from whelm.

There’s also overwhelm as well! Cool thing about most prefixes in English is that they can be changed out for other prefixes or completely removed. Though, one wouldn’t quite hear somebody say antiwhelmed there’s still nothing against it.

The poker hands are just attacks done to the boss’s health. They use poker terms because it’s inspired by card games, not because there’s gambling.

Keep in mind that testing a failing drive will likely make a failing drive worse. For your use-case this is fine, but for anyone else looking to test drives, please create a backup image of the drive prior to testing.

Heck, Warframe is even available on Switch and crossplay works just fine with those users without any account linking.
I’ve used the oven method for two different gloves, but used shaving cream on the first one and a specific treatment foam on the second one. It’s been 10 years since I last played, but I remember putting it on a cookie sheet and we turned the oven off before placing the glove in.
Sucks this happened to ya. Hopefully somebody around you has a spare you can borrow until you can figure out a replacement and get it broken in.

static09@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how do you deal with aggressive people / families while at work?20·1 year agoFirst, ask your boss for your employer’s policies on handling these situations.
Second, ask your boss for de-escalation training. If you’ve already gone through this training, a refresher will still be good.
Third, you mentioned a union. Ask them for recommendations and resources.
Fourth, if your concerns feel unaddressed, contact whomever would be your HR department. Know that HR is not there to help or protect employees, but there to keep the organization from being sued.
Fifth, do right by yourself. You’re obligated to your own safety. Healthcare is an emotionally charged environment with clients who are almost never there for good reasons. These high level emotions will cause intense feelings and scenarios. People can react irrationally during such situations.
This would be correct. We have at least 7 amazon alexa/fireTV devices and a bunch of other IoT devices with Alexa capability and each of them get used regularly.
The IoT devices are on their own subnet which doesn’t have access to the other subnets. I live with my mom and Alexa devices just make her life way easier. I put in the work to make sure the alexa and IoT devices are as restricted as possible without losing functionality so she can live a bit easier.
Something is seriously wrong with your Windows 11 install. I have two Windows 11 devices on my network and a Surface Duo 2.

I have about 5 Debian VMs for different things and one of them is a netdata server I run which collects data from itself, the other VMs, a separate minipc I have for containers, and the host OS.
Otherwise, slap btop on there and watch the pretty terminal graph

static09@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How much control/access does my instance owner haver over my account?17·2 years agoIt’s important to note that your password has to be stored someway, no matter what, no matter where. How it’s stored can be varied, from hashed (think encrypted) to cleartext. I’m assuming lemmy is using hashed passwords, so if you’re concerned about your password being available to an instance owner, admin, or potential attackers, then you’ll need to follow safe password guidelines. Changing the concept from passwords to passphrases is a great start.
Always keep in mind, if the data isn’t stored on your device, you do not technically own that data. You have to trust the owners to be good data custodians and treat the data you give them as if it were their own private data.
I’ll leave this now internet-ancient sacred image for future passphrase converts.

In the end, it’s all the same
A lot of airports have detailed, and sometimes even interactive, maps online. If I’m hitting an airport I haven’t been to yet, I’ll always take a look at the map to see where I’ll be coming into the airport and where I’ll departing.
As others have touched on, having the flight ticket and photo ID immediately available to hand to airport security / Customs is going to help get through the process faster.
Almost all airport security has a little bit of a different layout, but the process is mostly the same. Queue up and wait your turn for an available Security or Customs agent. Sometimes staff are directing people which agent to go. Most times the agents will be yelling out for the next person. Be ready to hand them the ticket and/or photo ID. Customs will ask some basic questions like “Where are you headed?” “Business or Pleasure?” or they’ll ask if you’re bringing anything with you to declare (mostly talking about sealed food/drink items).
Next usually comes the metal detectors and luggage search. You’ll place your stuff in bins. Use as many bins as you need for your electronics, shoes, things in your pockets, carry-on, etc. Follow directions to queue up. Once you’ve been scanned, Security may ask you to step to the side and they’ll run a wand around your body. This is pretty rare and usually doesn’t happen.
After that, wait for your bins to come down the conveyer and you’ve passed imo the most stressful part of flying.
The most interesting Arrivals security I had to go through was in Mexico. They have everybody press a button in big room. If the light turns green, you’re good to go without being checked. If the light turns red, you’re in for a quick security check lol
I prefer to find my gate first before wandering around to look for food or go to the bathroom. I’m usually 45-60 minutes early for my first boarding time just to make sure I know where things are at, then I grab a little food if I’m hungry.
Depending on the size of the airports, it may feel a little overwhelming. Each gate has a desk staffed by the airline. Feel free to ask them any questions or ask any of them for directions. One thing I’ve found is that the airline’s app is usually more up-to-date with information than the screens or, sometimes, even staff. Once, I was able to notify the desk staff of a gate change before even they knew about it (very rare). Another time, I got a notification of delay just a few minutes before the screens updated the flight status.
If you give yourself enough time, everything will go smoothly.
