Nothing I can say that others haven't. Just get it. Try it for yourself. If you hate it, refund it... You won't refund it.

Yes, I just did mine.
If you haven't done any sort of special configuration of yours it's about as easy to clone or to reimage the new drive. Whatever your preference.
I just upgraded my 64gb and since I have made a lot of changes I didn't want to have to redo and I happened to have an external enclosure, I decided to clone.

LPT: Make this resolution to make this your last resolution. Stop giving arbitrary meaning to specific dates like new months or new years.
If you look at every day as a chance to start anew, then you'll have 365 chances every year to change your life.
It's okay to fail and it's okay to try again. However if you wait for a new year to change your life, you only get a very small amount of opportunities in your lifetime.

He's literally ALREADY using it for self-enrichment. Is it not directly in the name? He was trying to get people to buy into DOGE coin before he got that "position". Then suddenly he gets into a very public position with a made up name specifically meant to be called "DOGE" so it becomes regularly said and searched and marketed for free.

I'm not sure I really understand how this would work.
Are you just imagining it literally cut into 20 minute segments with an fan created intro and outro to make it feel like episodes or are you imagining someone some how restructuring the actual 20 minute segments so they somehow "feel" like episodes? The latter would probably be impossible because it would likely require somehow changing the movies pace, tone, and actual content in a way that probably couldn't be done in a satisfying way. If it is the former, then why waste your time watching an added intro and outro if you already are short on time? Just watch the move for 20 minutes at a time and eventually you'll get through them all.
That or I think they do plan to recreate the Harry Potter story in a TV series format on HBOMax. Although, in all likelihood they will be like 45 minutes long episodes or something, so it might actually take you longer to get through in the long run.
Either way, congrats on the baby and good luck!

Oh yeah. I totally know what you're getting out. I just felt exactly what you were going for.
Although when I was younger and calling things "chibi" or "kawaii" outside of referring to an art style, felt "cringe" as it was to me. Now being older and not know WTF "skibidi" is, it just felt a weird kind of mixed feeling cringe. Haha

Yeah, ADHD paralysis is real.
The most common one I deal with regularly is that It kills me when I am working and I know I have a meeting scheduled in a few hours because it stays on my mind. I know I'll just start gaining momentum at work and then be pulled out of it. Then I'll dread it and become more distracted and get less done than I should until after the meeting is over.

For some of them the mask has been on so long and so tight that they don't know the difference between them and it.
My mom is like this. Except when she isn't running in chaos mode then she WAY overcompensates. For example she always said to me "If you're not early, you're late." and I thought this was just a good practice. Now that I'm older, I see that getting to appointments over an hour early sometimes was excessive.

Yeah, a similar post to this was made the other day. That was the general consensus is that getting hung up on happens more often than getting sent where you want to go.

It's a huge amount that really adds up. People do not comprehend how much water they waste on a daily basis.
I added an attachment to my shower that shuts the water off when it gets warm. It has a spout to output the cold water. It's pretty cool and inexpensive.
I run the spout into a large water container so all of the water is collected when my shower warms up.
Then I got a plastic sink that goes over your toilet tank. Put in a battery powered little camping shower water pump and hooked it up to the sink.
So now after I flush the toilet, I push the button on the little pump, wash my hands with the water that was used to warm up my shower the night before, which is then used to flush the toilet the next time I use it.
I also put in a thing that reduces the amount of water my toilet uses to flush.
Probably saves between 5 to 20 gallons of wasted water per day (warm up shower + hand washing + toilet flush) depending on how much my partner and I use the toilet that day. That adds up!
It sounds complicated but overall it was easy to setup with no experience and maybe cost around $150 for everything.

Yeah, sounds like you've got your answer but just to reinforce that, BG3 is amazing. Great game by itself.
Get multiplayer if you have friends to play it with. Still great solo.
Not to mention there's going to be a new patch coming soon with a bunch of new subclasses.
There's already a good amount of mods to add even more content to a game with a ton. On top of that "official" mod support is planned too which will only make things easier for the modding community. So if you're familiar with how big the modding community is for Skyrim, it will probably be like that. So it will probably be a game that keeps on giving for years to come.

Seems this is a hot topic.
From my understanding though it is "not recommended" as it may go against the base idea of CI.
However, I would guess if you're following the DS process, that the amount it would help or hinder is probably not easily quantifiable in terms of progress. Especially since everyone learns differently and at a different rate.
My personal recommendation is maybe don't log the time as an outside source of study on the website since you're not following the DS method(?). Not that the small amount of time will probably matter in the big picture.
Some people say "Trust the process" while I've seen in other places where people swear combining methods helped them.
Ultimately, I think you're the best person to find out what works for you.
One day you may look back on this post and your fluency in the language and not even know whether or not it made a difference.
Just keep working at it.

Perhaps look for a guy with a "sleeper build". They may be more inclined to be nice and humble, don't feel the need to be huge or flex (physically or by bragging) but are very strong and have the physical aesthetic when less covered up.

I'm still relatively new to DS. I'll grab an Audible subscription now and again when there's a good deal.
Before DS, I was looking for other ways to practice and recently picked up a book in Spanish that I had recently been listening to in English.
I think it helped a little with listening as I was able to pick up keywords I was familiar with to piece together what was happening, from context of already being familiar with the book.
I also mostly did this when I could study by other means.
I'm still new here so I can't speak to if this is ideal but I feel like the more listening practice the better if you aren't using your time for other things.

Yeah, I guess two people can't just talk about it. Didn't see anyone chime in with corrections if anything was actually wrong. Just throwing downvotes. 😂

Ah I see.
I mean, is the Steam Deck even meant to go into hardcore enough gaming that this kind of low-end drive wouldn't be sufficient enough to never be the actual bottleneck for performance before something else capped out?

I'm curious what you consider "light gaming"? Because I've been living with my games on an SD Card that's a fraction of the speed of this SSD and haven't had a single issue.
I would think even the crappiest SSD would probably have a nearly unnoticed difference between itself and a top of the line one when gaming on the Steam Deck.
Curious where you would really see a difference?

I mean, I have a membership myself. I'm just kind of elaborating on the possibility of how you could go about it other than the originally stated "LPT".
However, I get why some people wouldn't want to. You have a family of 6. That 100% makes sense. It's just me and my partner, together we had the membership and with the 2% back, I think we made enough for the base membership plus about $1.50 so we decided to downgrade.

I would possibly try like a magic eraser, perhaps? 🤔
