I would order from eBay. It can be scary because each seller is separate and you have to check their ratings…but the system nowadays is very good. eBay has swung all of their policies to where they highly favor the buyer in disputes if there is an issue…to the point that buyers can easily abuse it. I was a seller and experienced this. If you file a dispute saying I didn’t receive my item or it wasn’t as described, they literally freeze the money in the sellers sellers account immediately until it’s resolved and the buyer has you by the balls.
You can search and see only items that ship to your country. I would imagine you find a lot that do ship to you. They make it easy because sellers can enroll in a program where you ship it to a certain address in sellers country and it gets forwarded to any country at buyers expense.
Just check the sellers ratings and read item descriptions, check return policy
I did just that about 7 or so years ago. Only gave my number to family members and really close people (maybe 5 at most). Also deleted all my social media.
One of the best decisions of my life.
Unfortunately, I was just getting started on “the real world” and would get any job thrown my way. One of them required me to reply to my manager on WhatsApp so I ended having to create one and give them my number. I’ve since left that job and I’m now no longer a junior in my field, but still feels feels bad on my record :(
I recall setting up a Google Voice number for fielding calls from recruiters and the like, but that’s likely not the best method for privacy since it’s through Google.
I’m not sure another civizilation is possible on Earth within our lifetime. Look what we’re doing to the planet. Even if some species did evolve to become highly intelligent like our ancestors, humans would put them in a lab somewhere to study long before a civilization has a chance to develop.
I definitely understand this sentiment being expressed across the comments here, however the aim of the question is to try to encourage one to imagine a little more, try to go at the idea with a little more idealism.
That’s why I framed it as, how would you like, rather than how do you think a new civilization would be approached. A slight difference, and although both require thought, the latter grounds the question more than the former, at least to my mind.
If it’s really cold I’ll do 3-4 layers. Typically for my legs I’ll do Long John’s, then a pair of sweats, then my jeans.
For my torso I’ll also use a Long John shirt, then a long sleeve sweatshirt, then a hoodie, then a Carhartt jacket. Also, always take a few extra pairs of socks, if you’re feet get wet from sweat, they’ll get very cold as soon as you slow down or take a break.
I’ll add a quick point that might not be obvious. There are actually three things you’ll need to consider: a domain name, hosting, and your content.
TL;DR: for a simple blog-ish site, I would recommend DreamHost shared starter plan (USD$84 per year after promotions end, includes a custom domain name) and use GetSimple as the basis for your site (which can be installed from the DreamHost panel). Email costs a little more though.
A domain name typically costs less than USD$20 per year, with some top-level domains (like .online or .xyz) being only a few dollars per year. There are lots of ways to set up a site with a free subdomain (yoursite.hostingprovider.com) if cost is a barrier, but buying your own makes for a shorter and cleaner website name, and you can take it with you if you want to change your hosting. Most companies that offer domain registration will offer hosting as well, and they sometimes bundle them (a low-cost plan on DreamHost includes one domain name for free). Owning your own domain name usually means you have more options for setting up email as well.
For hosting, there are lots of free and easy options that others have mentioned (github pages, etc). Typical low-cost plans from many dedicated hosting companies are around USD$5 per month. Paying for hosting gives you more options for what you can do with your site–if you want WordPress, for example, github pages won’t be a hosting option. I’ve had a great experience with DreamHost, and BlueHost is a solid option as well.
Finally, generating the pages is its own challenge, and there are some wildly different ways of doing it. As others mentioned, I would avoid anything with a database if you can (WordPress being the big one). If you want a blog-ish type of site, I recommend GetSimple (I’ve had a few non-technical friends who were very happy with it). Or you can use a static site generator, though the workflow for many of those is often not as easy in my experience. Or if you’re feeling plucky, you can write the pages in HTML, CSS, and JS, and/or throw some PHP in there. I use skeleton for my site.
I had the James Bond edition of Sony Ericsson C902. The camera was nice but the UI had frame rate issues. I came from a brown SE K770i which was buttery smooth. From C902 I went to Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my first touchscreen phone and first Android where I learned about apps, OS updates, fustom ROMs, etc. What a fantastic phone that was.
Jellyfish are really weak, obviously they don't really have control over themselves but I think even if they did they'd be pretty hopeless. maybe they could travel where they want together?
Another vote for a static site generator. I use Publii on Cloudflare Pages. I switched from Wordpress, and I find the maintenance significantly easier.
