True for personal laptops, false for professional laptops. Might be why they gave me one with a fingerprint reader.

I unlock my work laptop a dozen times a day at least. Facial recognition FTW for that. TBH I've never felt the need to set up my fingerprint though...

Give them to your neighbors. Most households tend to use eggs in a decent amount...

I was curious as well, so I did the Google:

D-dimer is a protein fragment (small piece) that's made when a blood clot dissolves in your body. D-dimer isn't usually found in your blood unless your body is making or breaking up blood clots.

TBH, I threw your description to chatgpt to see what it could make out of it, this is the response I got. Check to see it managed to get it right...

Based on the plot you provided, it sounds like you're describing the "Grisha" trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, specifically the first book titled "Shadow and Bone." The protagonist, Alina Starkov, possesses a dormant power known as the "Sun Summoner" which she discovers when she is aboard a flying ship called the Volcra. She has no memory of her childhood and embarks on a journey to harness her abilities. Along the way, she encounters a man named Mal who saves her when the ship is attacked. Throughout the series, Alina grapples with her identity and the choice between using her powers to save or destroy humanity, ultimately deciding to destroy magic itself. The series also features elements of a magical world, flying ships, and a dangerous wilderness filled with magic.

You know, in a lot of situations, when someone says "the worst part", it's not actually the worst part.

When you use it, it really is the worst part, by far...

Not sure about how to actually add them to the bottom button list, but this explains how to do the things you want in a slightly different way...

The big difference is that a book is structured to teach you bit by bit. One of the issues of learning a new subject is that you don't know what you don't know. Something structured like a book solves this.

That being said, a six year old book is ancient when talking about computer related stuff...
