there is only 1 rational course of action: (1) export and delete your lastpass account (2) import to new PW manager, in my case bitwarden (3) change all your passwords

While it is true that a MT modern Porsche tends to hold more value its not really true anymore that its less complex nor cheaper.

(1) PDK is a free option on the S models, you can't even get MT on the base Carrera anymore (2) the 7MT in the 991/992 is derived from the PDK unit: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15120538/a-tale-of-tw...

That being said I own a 991.1 C2S w/ 7MT and I'm never upgrading bc I don't want a turbo and I'm not into the GT3 anymore as I stopped going to the track

>> For example, GT Sophy often drops a wheel onto the grass at the edge of the track and then skids into turns.

> This works consistently because (again) it's not the real world where the grass has subtle variations.

Well I mean maybe they just trained it on Initial D anime, Sony is a Japanese company after all

I took HCI from him in undergrad and I had now idea who he was. I found the teaching style engaging but didn't give it much thought until 3 years later when I started working on consumer internet products.

I used just clone the MAC address across my iPhone and laptop and switch between them, so I guess you could use your phone to get through the captive portal and then connect with a travel router that clones the phones MAC address.

Given most pandemic growth stocks (ex: zoom, peloton) are down so much nobody really believes that instacart is worth what they raised at the height of the pandemic? Helps with new hires, but existing hires will need large refreshers

I'm under the impression that EPM is more of a project management role than a traditional PM role given how tops down Apple is?

Yes its a long range, they are optimizing for profit where MYP > MYLR and if your car has Full Self Driving (+$10K margin basically) they seem to be delivering those first per threads on tesla motors club.

Apparently yes, I guess its no different from selling a home: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/personaluseproperty.asp....

"KEY TAKEAWAYS Personal use property is used for personal enjoyment as opposed to business or investment purposes. These may include personally-owned cars, homes, appliances, apparel, food items, and so on."

"Technically, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers personal use property a capital asset and treats it differently than other types of property or assets.2 Taxpayers cannot deduct losses on the sale of personal use property, while a gain on the sale of such property is subject to taxation.3"
