Assuming this position also means that you now don't have to dodge that " what if a 13 year old ran a hot tub stream" hypothetical anymore, because minors are barred from streaming on an adult streaming site. I do not mind the intermingling of gaming + IRL + sexually suggestive content. ![]() From my point of view, I wouldn't care if Twitch was a site aimed at adults only, that prohibited minors from steaming. Hell, I've been an Amouranth followers for years and personally I don't mind her content. Instead of defending that indefensible claim, just go ahead and defend the much easier to defend claim that Twitch shouldfeature sexually suggestive content because X, Y and Z, if you believe Amouranth and so on should hot tub stream on Twitch. You can cherrypick SFW pictures all you want, but that particular argument is so detached from reality, I'd recommend everybody to move on and accept what virtually anyone outside of this thread and your personal curated Twitter timeline can see. I think anybody attempting to claim that hot tub streaming isn't sexually sugegstive is just fighting a losing battle. I was scared to even walk outside out of fear of having a deadly accident.Ĭlick to shrink.I think you're right to call out the hypocrisy but wouldn't the prescription then be to moderate those gaming streams with titillating (or excessively violent) content too? Being a hypocrite doesn't make you wrong on that one issue, just inconsistent (which I think is one of the must fundamentally bad characters traits, but that's beside the point). I saw a tape on that once as a kid, and it messed me up (autopsy video or something with multiple victims). Kids should not be seeing video of real brutal murders/deaths/accidents, but you know, that's up to parents. Sex on the other hand is something everyone does eventually, and it's hardly talked about, and kind of awkward, but violence is easier (imagine excitedly talking about a battle scene where tons of people die after watching a movie). ![]() War, weapons, and voilence is booming, and it's sold to people constantly, with these entertainment and products kind of desensitizing them of actual violence a bit. Kids buy toy weapons of all sorts, on Halloween they get to dress up as dead, gruesome corpses and it's cute*. ![]() Click to shrink.Sex in general is more guarded than violence in America (the hot tub direction some of the streamers go is sexually suggestive, going by the images used in these hot tub topics on the internet, and screenshots of the twitch pages they show up in). Additional CostsĬomputing and storage are the main drivers of costs for Redshift, but there are other services you can pay for that add additional benefits. S3 also makes for a cheaper storage solution, as you can select a tier depending on how frequently you want to access your data. S3 storage is ideal for building data lakes where large volumes of structured and unstructured data is needed for advanced analytics and machine learning. Pricing for S3 Storage in US Ohio ranges from $0.00099 to $0.023 per GB. S3 Glacier Deep Archive: Ideal for long-term data archiving that are accessed once or twice a year and can be restored within 12 hours. There are multiple tiers of S3 Storage depending on your needs. ![]() ![]() S3 provides unlimited storage capacity and stores and retrieves data objects, such as files, images, videos, documents, and backups. It offers a simple and secure way to store and retrieve data anywhere on the web. S3 storage refers to Amazon Simple Storage Service, a highly scalable and durable cloud-based object storage service that Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides. Pricing for managed storage is calculated per hour based on the total data in the managed storage and pricing in US Ohio is $0.024 per GB. RA3 nodes are compute nodes for high-performance data processing, and they combine compute power with storage capacity, allowing for efficient data analysis. Managed storage uses RA3 nodes exclusively. Redshift Managed storage is the primary storage capacity of Redshift Serverless, which you pay at a fixed monthly rate per GB of storage, depending on your region. Storage CostsĪmazon Redshift provides two types of storage, and each serves a distinct function with separate pricing structures. Amazon Redshift measures data warehouse capacity using Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) and charges you based on the workloads you run in RPU-hours, billed on a per-second basis with a 60-second minimum charge. Pricing for Redshift Serverless in US Ohio is $0.36 per hour, and you only pay for the compute capacity your data warehouse service consumes when it’s active. Redshift Serverless eliminates the task of manually provisioning and managing compute resources and lets you pay only for the computing you use during query execution. It can automatically scale resources based on your workload requirements, eliminating the need to manage infrastructure. Serverless PricingĪmazon Redshift Serverless is a fully managed warehousing solution offered by AWS. Pricing for on-demand in US Ohio ranges from $0.25 to $13.04 per hour. however, the On-Demand price can be higher compared to a long-term contract and can make budgeting costs difficult as the pricing fluctuates based on usage patterns. You can use Redshift without commitments or upfront costs and easily scale your cluster based on your needs. On-Demand pricing is great, as you only pay for the resources you use. Each region and node type will change the price. On-Demand pricing has an hourly rate for the specific node type you want to run your warehouse on. ![]() However, you may need more than $300 credit to try everything, and there may be restrictions on certain features. The free trial is perfect for experimenting to see if Redshift meets your company's needs. The free trial of a DC2 large node gives you 750 hours per month. The free trial gives you a $300 credit for computing and a 90-day usage timeframe. If Redshift Serverless is unavailable in your country, they offer a two-month free trial of DC2 large node in provisioned clusters. Free TrialĪmazon offers a free trial if you haven’t used Redshift Serverless. There are three options for billing a free trial, on-demand pricing, and serverless pricing. These are the chosen node type to build the cluster, where you deploy it, and the billing strategy. There are some major contributing factors that make up the computing costs of Amazon Redshift. Cluster Internal Network: Ensures secure and efficient communication between leader and compute nodes through private, high-speed network connections, utilizing custom protocols, and isolating compute nodes from direct access by client applications. ![]() Click on " Mail" and then click " Data Files.".Close Outlook and open the Control Panel.1.Repair Outlook Profileįollow these steps to repair your Outlook profile to fix the error “Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook.” Export the repaired PST file directly to Microsoft 365 and live Exchange Server.īy using the software, you can overcome these common Outlook errors in a much more efficient way.Split the oversized or large PST files.Compress the large or oversized PST file by saving and linking the PST and attachments in a separate folder.You can also manage your PST file using the Technician edition of Stellar Repair for Outlook, which helps you, ![]() ![]() You can import this PST file into your new profile and fix the error permanently without any risk of losing mail items.

Here are two side-by-side comparisons, to illustrate. Kindle Create does produce better-looking text than the basic file-upload conversion offered by Kindle Direct Publishing. (However, someone more familiar with the program may have found a way around that.) Kindle Create’s pre-set parameters appear to be (perhaps deliberately) complicated to change, and to make that change universal. It’s tedious – to put it mildly! – to have to go through three manuscripts, each of about a hundred thousand words, to do that. I can make those adjustments manually, but I haven’t (yet) found a way to successfully automate it every time. The sub-title (“Rousay”, in this case) is in a different color, font and text effect from what I want, and (more importantly) doesn’t align precisely with the body text below it. Unfortunately, Kindle Create’s default mode for sub-titles looks like this: For example, in many chapters and sections I’ll indicate location through a sub-heading, as the action jumps from place to place (sometimes several times within a chapter). I find it somewhat restrictive, in that it only offers fonts and previews platforms that Amazon supports, and isn’t easily customizable to achieve the results I want. Kindle Create’s interface is, obviously, different from Vellum, but what it tries to do is almost identical. Kindle Create certainly produces a higher-quality product than mere conversion of files, and allows for a certain amount of “tweaking” (no, I did not say “twerking”!) For many authors, particularly those who plan to publish in e-book format only, or who will rely on Amazon to convert their e-books to print format, that will probably be enough. If so, I think the company has succeeded to a large extent. By offering this free alternative to other, more expensive software, Amazon might be aiming to keep authors within its marketplace and discourage them from “going wide”. I can’t help but get the impression that Amazon designed Kindle Create with Vellum and similar products in mind. Conversion software such as Calibre claims to automate the conversion process, but I’ve seldom found an Amazon-sourced MOBI file (even without digital rights management code embedded) that converts easily and fully, without problems. If you want to “go wide” and publish your work in other formats, through other vendors, you’re going to have some serious issues. Obviously, this only prepares manuscripts for ’s MOBI e-book format. ![]() My descriptions will necessarily be brief, due to lack of space and time, but I hope you’ll learn enough to be able to assess them for your own needs.įirst, let’s look at Kindle Create. I thought you might be interested in my experiences thus far. I decided that, for this trilogy, I’d like to spread my wings a little so I’ve been experimenting with two such programs, Amazon’s Kindle Create (free) and 180g’s Vellum (free to download and try, but $199 for the e-book edition only and $249 for e-book and print editions). Over the past couple of years, publication software has come a long way, making the preparation process easier and more sophisticated. It did an adequate job, but nothing special. Until now, I’ve simply imported my word processor files to Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing and let its in-house conversion software prepare them for publication. “ The Stones of Silence” will (hopefully) come out next week “ An Airless Storm” will follow in June and the final volume, “ The Pride of the Damned“, will be published in July. Internet access fees or other service charges may apply.I’m in the final stages of preparing the first book of my new military science fiction trilogy, Cochrane’s Company, for publication.

So, for the long Labor Day weekend (or any time for that matter), it’s best to just hop in line and go with it. Crowds are lightest before 11 a.m., with hungry crowds packing in as soon as midday comes. The place still doesn’t have working toilets with running water (they rely on port-a-potties instead, thanks to a drought restriction).ĭuring the middle of the day on summertime weekends, Neptune’s Net is a certifiable zoo of cars, motorcycles, people in sandals dangerously crossing the Pacific Coast Highway, and long queues of hungry tourists inside. Last year’s devastating Woolsey Fire spared Neptune’s Net while ravaging other restaurants and homes, though it did knock out the restaurant’s internet, phone, and power for weeks. Of course, not everything is always picture perfect, despite the postcard views. It’s not always picture perfect at Neptune’s Net, despite the postcard views For adults, rows and rows of coolers in the back come lined with beers, including lots of craft varieties, marking Neptune’s Net as the largest seller of beer in the area. Grilled fish is also a staple in its various forms, either as a platter with sides or in kid-friendly fish tacos. During chillier summer months, they’ll go order clam chowder heaved into bread bowls. More than half-a-million visitors line up every summer to score seafood samplers and fish and chips trays. The best-selling dishes are as enduring and predictable as the restaurant itself. Those numbers stem from a wave of tourists who flock to Southern California, family adventurers who already call the state home, high school and college-age kids on break, and anyone local who just wants a day at the beach and a tuna melt. While the restaurant is technically open all year round (except for one day off: Thanksgiving), the owners estimate that roughly 80% of the annual business comes in the warm summer months, when ocean breezes cool off the open patio out front. That makes sense, given the generations that have made Neptune’s Net a famous place, particularly during the summer months. Reps for the restaurant say they have no plans to sell any time soon, and are actively seeking historic landmark designation for the restaurant. The current owners are actually two families, the Lees and Kims, who have held onto the property since the 1990s. Over the years, the Jacobs family ran their roadside diner in much the same way, before selling off in the ‘70s to the Seay family who continued to tack on additions and square footage, including much of the outdoor dining space and separate non-restaurant seafood ordering counter. ![]() ![]() The restaurant sits just over the county line, in unincorporated Ventura County. The city wouldn’t formally incorporate until 1991, and even today, despite what most Angelenos may say or think, Neptune’s Net doesn’t actually reside within the city of Malibu itself (that ends at Leo Carrillo). The restaurant property, and its former attached office space and gas station, was first known by the name Panorama Pacific, though many locals simply called it Jake’s Diner.Īt the time, Malibu was mostly a craggy oceanside community that mixed artists, surfers, some wealthy types, and folks looking to live outside the urban sprawl. The restaurant’s humble 1956 beginnings came by way of a retired aerospace engineer named Eastman Jacobs, though most folks simply called him Jake. Neptune’s Net began life during the early days of the American road trip, when Los Angeles was bustling with burger stands and drive thrus. In the 1950s, Malibu was mostly a craggy oceanside community that mixed artists, surfers, some wealthy types, and folks looking to live outside the urban sprawl ![]() ![]() Financial goals may not seem like a vital part of the budgeting process, but listing your budgeting goals will keep you motivated.

For instance, some days you may buy a coffee – other days you may not. Variable expenses are slightly harder to track and may require you to set yourself a daily or weekly budget limit to help cover these.Fixed (or recurring) expenses are easily tracked, as they are often a set amount on a regular date.There are also two types of expenses: Fixed and Variable.
