If you're this far in and still using Windows and Outlook, there's no saving you. You've been in an abusive relationship for _decades_ now. Get help.

I visited a university supercomputer centre in Berlin that had been a merger of East and West Berlin facilities in about 1999. In the lobby they had a PDP-11 right next to the Eastern Bloc clone with its Cyrillic writing.

I probably have some old school photos somewhere.

AI slop writing is one reason not to read this. Centre justification is an even bigger one.

Maybe you should put a smart power socket in front of the Ikea bridge to power cycle it every 30 minutes?

(I'll see myself out then.)

The best marketing has always been a psychological operation.

A car company wanting to divert attention away from the carnage cars cause. Seems a bit suspicious no?

You broke it, you bought it!

I sat next to the "law enforcement liaison" team at a Telco many years ago. They were all ex-cops and I could listen in on the conversations that had with cops. There was never even the slightest push back. Just sexism, racism, blokey humour and "yeah we'll get that info for you".

Harold Scruby and his "Pedestrian Council of Australia" is one man and a fax machine who's been blaming victims for decades. Any news media who quotes him without pointing this out loses all authority.

Yep just like many things Americans are sure can't be done, universal healthcare has never been done anywhere in the world, ever. And healthcare everywhere costs what Americans are willing to pay (public and private money).

Management WHAT?

Moral high ground somewhat undermined by the post being on the deepfake porn and CSAM distribution platform formerly known as Twitter.

Book a date with TASCAT. I haven't used the Tasmanian one but in NSW it cost me a couple tens of dollars from memory and I got a response in days. Once the case lands with the _LAWYERS_ who are expensive, it'll get resolved.

These young journos are legends.

The first sentence is your answer. The third word even.

The healthcare market. MARKET

Healthcare shouldn't be a market. That's why you're paying $40k.

Recent Xpeng G6 purchaser: it's amazing.

"I've tried all the options I have here in the country that banned the major players and I don't think any are better."

"Both not part of Israel" and yet the people who allegedly own it don't control it.

This "only democracy in the region" line gets trotted out, but most Palestinians don't get a vote in the government that controls their lives. So "democracy" in the sense that Apartheid South Africa was a democracy, only.

Go read the Grokipedia article about the Gaza genocide if you want a laugh. The first sentence is 83 words with multiple nested clauses. It's gibberish.

It's far from fair given that if _I_ breach copyright and get caught, I go to jail, not just pay a fine.

I've actually been a test subject for sunscreen here in Australia. It involved having sunscreen put on different parts of your body, hopping into a Jacuzzi for an hour or so, then being zapped with UV on both sunscreened and clear skin.

Easiest hundred bucks I ever made, gotta say.

Great. One of the worst things on the modern internet is more resilient than the actually useful things.

This from the team that brought a tool to recover files corrupted by Office, rather than fix the causes of file corruption. Then it becomes a "feature" you can trumpet, rather than a bug you squashed.

Last time I did this through LAX (flying onwards to Toronto) it was pretty minimal. You pick up your bag, go through immigration, then on the way out of there drop your bag off with an airline agent and on it goes to your destination.

Before the latest incarnation of Trumpistan though.

30 degrees and she's dressed in a puffer jacket? Wut?

Tell me that you've never visited a city outside North America (and Australia) without telling me...

Hilarious illustration of carbrain thinking.

Yeah was thinking just this. Looks like I do 600-900 searches a month with Kagi!
