Asking your mother to return your keys everytime you use it is a reasonable demand. They are all independent adults (presumably). You seem to be thinking to terms of mother and child, not two grown adults. It is a normal course of respectful action that should happen automatically without having to be asked for. At the very least the key should be placed in a location where both can access the key after use.

If that isn't already occuring, then that suggest to me that he isn't in a position to make the demand i.e. physically on site to be able to receive the key.

What I want to know is what he meant by "sign the car out from me". If he meant transfer of ownership but keeping the keys, then that makes no sense at all for ownership is not transferred. If it is to demand that the keys are returned back to him after use, then that would suggest gobsmacking disrespect of an expensive and important piece of personal property by his mother that it needs to be asked at all in the first place.

He doesn't seem to be in a situation in which is practical for his mom to return the keys after each use.

I'm criticizing any solution that involves signing papers. Talking to her is the correct solution, but it also didn't work

Ive been shotgunning job applications like a mad man, and I got an email from the Navy, which I cant even begin to remember if I applied to, and I cant find any record of me having applied to the Navy, not when, or where, or for what position on any of the job sites I was looking at.

I got an email from a Navy person talking about some sort of officer position and am confused. Should I email and ask what I applied for? What if I applied for it and I just forgot?!

What do.

In practical terms, when 5G becomes widespread, what will I be do with it that I can't do currently with 4G?

I started thinking on this after realizing that I can already watch streams and youtube at (current) maximum quality, download speed (mainly for apps) is already quite reasonable, and opening regular web pages is already near instantaneus.

My only "bottleneck" is the data plan (I have 8 gb/month, which is generally sufficient). Would this be presumably expanded (price constant) or cheapened (data constant) under a 5G network?

I personally wouldn't take kindly to an applicant asking for info on the job "because he forgot". I'd take it as a sign of disinterest. However, asking for more information about the position without asking what you applied for is a way to get that same information and not give that vibe.

Alternatively, you can just show up to the interview without preparing and wing it. Depending how good your babble is, that can work too.

But if it is some kind of generic blabla email, then it could be fishing or spam, in which case you obviously shouldn't respond. Do they address you by name? Is it personalized? Does it come from an actual .gov email address (and not lkdnfflkakjd.cn hiding as a .gov as the reply-to). Does it have a specific job reference as the subject line or referenced within the email.

Also google whoever sent the email.

As for the specific strategy of your provider with regard to pricing... you should probably just ask them.

As for use cases: didn't people ask this same thing when 4g became available? And then they started streaming video and playing realtime video games on it? Imho if you don't have a use-case for it, don't upgrade. If you are irritated by 4g being too slow for doing X, then upgrade.

5g has yet to be offered by providers here in Brazil, and even if it was I'm asking more from a technological point of view: are there expected large costs savings specific to 5g that mean that in 1-4 years data volume itself will be cheaper and not just data speed?

About the transition to 4g, I used to complain about slow opening web pages (say, with lots of images) back in 3g days, and I used look at videos on my computer and say: I can't do this on my mobile. Even at the time the gains from 3g to 4g were clear in practical terms, at least to me. I can't do the same for 4g to 5g, so I'm asking here if anyone can point to some examples.

5g has yet to be offered by providers here in Brazil, and even if it was I'm asking more from a technological point of view: are there expected large costs savings that mean that in the medium term data volume itself will be cheaper and not just data speed?

About the transition to 4g, I used to complain about slow opening web pages (say, with lots of images) back in 3g days, and I used look at videos on my computer and say: I can't do this on my mobile.

I don't think 5g is offered anywhere except in small pilots in specific areas. But from a technological PoV there are huge up-front costs for 5g, just as there were for rolling out 4g. It requires new, different, expensive antennas to be installed, and I'm sure the providers will want to get those costs back. How they plan on doing that? I don't know. I'd hope data volume will become cheaper, but I don't have much faith that will happen given how 4g was rolled out.

As for use cases, I agree with you that I don't see a use case right now. Then again, when 4g rolled around I didn't see a use case for it either. Eventually reality caught up though, and website design started taking high speed internet for granted, making 3g too slow to browse normally. Right now the only use-case I can think of is live streaming in HD, but unless data volume in mobile plans increases drastically I won't be able to do that anyway.

If i recall correctly, 5G also has significantly less latency in addition to higher data speeds, which could be relevant for some applications.

Honestly, i probably don't need it right away, i barely use my phone data right now anyways. But i think use cases will turn up. They always have with the computer industry. There was a time when people thought you would never need more than 32 MB of RAM. There was a time where i couldn't even imagine needing more than 1k basic DSL home internet speeds.

Maybe stuff like the google stadia will be where it's at for mobile stuff. Letting stationary data centers do the complex calculations, and just transfer the results via high speed low latency connections. Might not work perfectly for games which require really low latencies, but i can totally see it being a thing. Could also make phones a lot cheaper because you don't need to carry all of the processing power around.

TL adds are a serious mistery. No idea where they come from but i don't get that pure bs anywhere else.

Is there anything you can do after ingesting harmful bacteria? We ate some enoki mushrooms for dinner and on that very same day there was CDC recall due to listeria. FML

If you are sure you ingested something you shouldn't have, you should probably go to a hospital. In your specific case, contacting the CDC and asking them what to do might also be an option.

You’re probably fine. If not you’ll know very shortly.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

You could make it go through faster with some laxative before it gets fully digested. Probably not the solution you are looking for

The actual advice here should be: go to the emergency room. Or the earlier advice of phoning the CDC first and asking them what to do. Don't just take laxatives, which seem like speeding it out of the wrong orifice anyway: an emetic would be the better option. But medics in the emergency room can no doubt make better decisions than the internet!
