Is there a pill to increase my motivation to do mindnumbingly boring tasks for 8+ hours a day?

Or do I just need some crack?

One of the main characters on an extremely popular TV series....

Yeah, I think that qualifies as "star" status.

Besides, why do you care? Does belittling her and her "stardom" make you feel big?

Probably straight from the source.

An Americano isn't coffee.

It's a watered down espresso.

The only reason it exists is because Americans visiting Europe would ask for coffee, and many euro coffee shops only had espresso, so they just added hot water to espresso and that was close enough for the tourists.

At least, that was what I heard.

I mainly use Windows and Microsoft almost exclusively uses "disk" everywhere.

I don't think you're wrong at all, but even after I've been working in tech for so long, all the terms for everything get confusing for me too.

Just saying.

Round optical disc in a hard caddy/shell

I can clarify some of the tech stuff.

A "disk" is a concept. It's an object which contains data.

"Hard" disks and "floppy" disks are always referring to the rigidity of the internal storage media. 7", 5.25", and 3.5" floppy disks have the same round magnetic storage material. The only difference with a 3.5" floppy disk is that they put a hard case over the floppy disk.

CD, DVD, Blu-ray, etc are both disks and discs, as their typically handled without a caddy/case. So technically both apply.

SSDs are still disks, just solid state, rather than floppy/hard spinning magnetic media.

Technically flash drives are also solid state disks, but we don't generally conflate the two terms for clarity.

I would 100% do something like this.

I don't have enough money to buy the land to make it happen.

I assume you have a doctorate in veterinary care on which you've based this statement?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Somehow that doesn't surprise me in the least.

$20 CAD each (ish) and they come with the heater?

That's actually pretty good for pricing. The ration heaters are not cheap.
