I like the idea they had in Spain of the community having events to incorporate nomads into the community more.

But also I think the important thing hanging over it is how you can experience a place without making it worse for the locals. There's a two fold thing that I've seen while travelling.

One is the more obvious AirBnb scenario, which drives up housing costs. But there's another.

That other is that even if you do try to be a responsible traveller and stay in more community oriented arrangements, the money you bring in for both housing and expenditures goes to the local capitalist class, which makes them richer and still drives up prices, because they become the ones who can buy things up and increase prices. The general trend is that prices go up more than wages do, so people become poorer.

I've been doing this for a while now, and even though I try to be conscientious, I know that even being there and spending money can be both a good and bad thing for the locals.

It's how CPUs do floating point calculations. It's not just javascript. Long story short, a float is stored in the format of one bit for the +/-, some bits for a base value (mantissa), and some bits for the exponent. As a result, some numbers aren't quite representable exactly.

Sounds like an intro to an EDM song

Means TV, but it's a subscription version of YouTube for leftist content and it's a cooperative. The Means Morning News channel is 80s/90s cheesey and a decent news summary that ends with the Rich Dick award

I don't think you'll be complaining on any of them. Was having gigabit nice? Of course, but 350 is plenty. Most services won't even transfer that quickly to you and you can run a lot of video streams on that.

But the main way to tell would be if your router has a traffic meter on it since it has all devices going through it. Otherwise if you're mainly on PC you can use the task manager to see how much is going on and out

I don't know what country you're in, so something specific can be difficult to say as to where to go. It can often take a few days (3ish sometimes) for some tests to show positive, but get tested and "test where you play". It should be cheap or free. It probably isn't a big deal, so don't freak out, just get tested. Go to a clinic or a doctor's office, or call them first.
