I see you are allowed up to 200GB for free tier instances, however I am unsure exactly how to add this storage to my instance. I am PAYG so I still get the original instance limits.

When I select "Specify a custom boot volume size and performance" setting and set the boot volume to 200GB and boot volume performance to 120VPU, the estimated cost says it is $60.15/month. I know that the estimated cost is bugged but I want to be sure for this amount of money.

Do I need to use the "Block Volumes" section and attach 3 50GB block volumes?

<insert lazy negative comment about pizza pizza>

Ok got that out of the way

Yes I know pizza pizza isn't the best, but it's the only pizza shop that is across the street from me, open till 2am, and had a good medium pizza deal. It came in clutch on many occasions when I got home late or was too lazy or drunk to go anywhere further.

They have removed that deal so there is basically 0 reason for me to go there now. I love enshitification! /S

I am looking to obtain either my AZ/DZ/BZ license however I am unsure what the best way to go about this is.

So I am currently working a casual position for a fortune 500 company. With my current position, I do have the opportunity to move into full time CDL position, but I would need an AZ license and it is not guaranteed even if I have the license. Also by the time I obtain a license, there is no telling whether the job offer would still be available.

I was also looking at maybe getting a DZ license as I heard that garbage disposal is in need of drivers.

And then I would also be interested in B or BZ (unsure which one you would need but I assume just B is enough right?) so I could then apply for bus driver positions like the TTC, York transit, Metrolinx, School buses, etc.

So I am wondering what would be the best way? If I get AZ, then I could apply for both AZ and DZ positions. However AZ is a lot more expensive than DZ. I could get DZ a lot faster than an AZ and perhaps land a DZ job first, from which I could save up and get my AZ and then get a better position?

Or I just go for B and try to get a bus position?

Any thoughts and info would be appreciated. Thanks

This is just a suggestion, but try pinning the On-Screen Keyboard to the taskbar!

This has come in real handy a few times for me when my keyboard hasn't worked for whatever reason and just serves as a nice backup to have. It also works on the lockscreen!

Possible scenarios where it can be useful:

1. You have a wireless keyboard but the batteries die and no new batteries.

2. You spill something on your keyboard and break it

3. Keyboard/PC glitches and doesn't respond for whatever reason (which seems to be the main case for me, yay Logitech!)

4. You are far from keyboard but still have your wireless mouse. (most often happens when im tryna watch a movie on my PC)

5. Too lazy to use your keyboard. Literally sometimes I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my arms/fingers to use a keyboard 😂

Went to a club tonight with my cousins from far away. Today is his birthday and wanted to celebrate. I don't normally go to clubs and parties so I wasn't quite sure what I was in for. I also have sensory issues. Should have taken that into account.

The music ended up being way too loud for me. Idk how y'all can handle that, but it was making me nauseous. For this reason I had to step out. The security guard asking me if I was leaving and I said yea just for a little bit. And he let me out. I looked on Google maps and saw there was a store near me that sold ear plugs. So I walked over, bought some, and walked back.

When I tried to go back in the club, the same security guard told me I wasn't allowed back in. I showed them the stamp and ticket and everything but he wouldn't budge. Even my cousin and friend came out and said I was with them but still no.

Absolutely crushed me. Pretty sure they wanted a bribe but fuck them I ain't giving them a cent. Now I'm sitting in the car tearing up and my friends and cousin are all upset cuz we're split. Is this how all clubs are? I didn't know but shit I guess I should have. Never clubbing again I'll tell you that.

I want to go on a fishing trip with the family. There is a place near us that would let us rent a 8 person pontoon for a reasonable price. I did the online boating course and got my license.

I have no experience with actually driving a boat though. I do have plenty of driving experience and also some experience flying a cesna. Obviously a cesna and a car isn't a boat, but I am pretty confident in my ability to learn the controls of a boat.

The lake we would be going on is a smaller body of water and I would only go if the weather is clear and calm. And I would probably never go faster than 10km/hr lol.

Question is, is this a bad idea? Honestly my main concern is leaving/entering the docking area. I understand boats have no breaks, so I'd probably do some tests in the open water to familiarize myself with how fast it accelerates and decelerates. And I know there can also be forces induced by the propeller which can cause the boat to veer to one side.

Knowing all this and actually putting it into practise are two separate things though. If anyone has advice though would be appreciated

I'm on week 3 of Ozempic. Just on starting dose of .25mg. I do notice it's appetite suppression effects, but I'm wondering if it also affects mood too.

Me and some friends were planning a camping trip, and I was excited to go. Someone from our group didn't like the spot we chose and so we had to cancel and book another location. I personally am not a fan of this new location, but I feel like under normal circumstances I would have just been ok with it.

But this time, I really wasn't. I tried to be, just to not cause problems or drama. But something blew up inside of me and I just kinda got pissed at everyone. Ended up just telling everyone I don't want to go anymore, because I feel like I'd just be miserable the whole time and I don't want to ruin a trip because of that. And they were understandably upset because they wanted me to come and we are all initially excited.

It's gotta be the Ozempic right? I'm wanting to apologize now, but I just feel embarrassed and want to cry. But it's so stupid because this shouldn't be a big deal at all, like I'm acting like a giant baby over nothing. Fuck me

Half of us want to go to Driftwood as we found a really nice looking available spot there. However the other half doesn't want to deal with the approximate 5hr+ drive.

So they have found a half decent spot in Selkirk which is about a 2hr drive from us.

Personally, I think the spot at Driftwood looked better, at least from the video reviews and pictures I have seen. But Selkirk also doesn't look too bad. Just maybe less private and closer to marsh which I assume means more bugs?

This is why I would like to ask more people who have been there. If you ignore the drive time and had to choose between Selkirk or Driftwood, which would you pick and why?

Main things I would like to know about are:

Water quality

Campsite quality

Bug situation (will be going around mid July)

Other park activities

The rampant AI is insane. So hard to search up stuff without being flooded with AI results. Best way is to filter to is to set to before 2023 but then you lose out on all the recent, non AI results.

We really need a -AI flag or maybe an option in the settings to "disable AI results".

Sadly I don't think this will ever happen though. Google is married to the idea of enshitification. Only savior is maybe another browser extension (already have like 4 just for YouTube) that can give us this feature.

Looking for a half decent front bicycle light. Nothing super expensive as I really can't afford. Hoping there is something within my price range. I don't do a lot of night riding. Maybe 20-30% of all my rides end up being at night for whatever reason. Also I am mostly in the city under street lights, but I still would like something with good range for when I end up on dark side trails.

I was reading the FAQ and saw this part:

"All bags must be checked at bag check or left in your vehicles before being permitted on the road.

*Please note, backpacks, saddle bags and bike panniers are not allowed on the ride. Bags must not exceed 5 x 15 x 5″ in size. Tool pouches that fit under one’s seat are allowed."

Does this include frame bags and trunk bags? I was wanting to bring my trunk bag as I carry my water bottle, bike lock and tools in there. Me and a couple other guys were also planning on riding around DT for a bit after the event so I would still like to have all my stuff that I would carry on a normal ride. Also I have an insulated water bottle that is quite large and does not fit in bottle cage (which I don't even have).

I'll probably get downvoted for asking this, but how serious are they about this rule? I basically have one of these. Would this get a pass you think?

And lastly, if all else fails, is there a secure location I could put my bag for the duration of the ride?

Thanks!

Looking for some decent options for tubes. I had heard about TPU tubes being much lighter and more compact and I would like to try them, but they seem to be a lot more expensive than butyl.

It makes sense to me that light would have an effect on our skin. Like when I vacation at a tropical country and come back home, my friends tell me how dark ive gotten.

What I am unsure of is exactly what kind of effect it has, and is it really noticeable? I imagine you are getting a much larger spectrum of light from the sun vs some LEDs. But does that actually matter?

And how long would you need to use RLT (Red Light Therapy) before seeing any noticeable effect? And how do you differentiate this effect from your skin just naturally healing over time? Do they factor in that people using RLT are probably more likely to be using a whole other host of skin products? How do they know it's the RLT doing the work and not some other product?

Genuinely curious about this as I am considering trying it, but I don't want to waste my time or money if it's all BS.
