I would be happy to use a service that auto subscribes for a month when I play content but also auto cancels renewal.

I'm happy to pay for them when I use them but if I don't happen to use one for a month it would be great to skip that bill.

Vatican City is recognized as a sovereign state but im pretty sure they choose not to have an Olympic committee or send athletes to the games.

Seems to be free on most platform if you already own both titles.

They seem to be offering better performance compared to the port from a couple of years ago. Has anyone tested it out to confirm?

I wouldn't be so bold as to walk into to conversation about genre fiction and start categorizing them as "literature" or "pulp".

But I guess each app would also have their own implementation.

The only consequences would be reputational. Don't wait until the interview itself, let them know now that you will not be available for the interview.

Definitely cancel over just not showing up, preferably before the day of the interview. Circumstances may change, new positions may open up, you don't owe them anything but you want to keep things amicable in case you are interested in the future.

My parents took me to a late 80s re-screening of Picnic at Hanging Rock when I was 6 or 7yo.

I think at the time the classification board described it as "G" indicating that "the content is mild in impact" but by then it was no longer a new film and parents probably should have known better.

Sure its not as rough as Fortress (1985) but it was still covering themes of children in realistic peril. Its not a film with a happy ending and the fact that its based on a true story left child me shaken.

The google servers have access to a lot more resources than our puny little phones.

Its viewed as such.

The control of fire by early humans was a critical technology enabling the evolution of humans.

Aren't those just standard door knobs?

Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.

As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don't use those regularly.

As physical tech:

  • we have lever door handles at work and wheel and axle door knobs at home.

As digital tech:

  • Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since one of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.

  • The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while. ls has been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back to listfon CTSS in 1961.

Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.
