I’ve got one fantastic child, the relief of starting to get my time and freedom back is still enough to remind me I don’t what to loose that again, even temporarily.

(Purely anecdotally, my own and my peers experience) We’re seeing educated people waiting longer in life to have children. Fertility drops, assistance from older generations drops, the village has gone, nursery and care prices are ridiculou

Frustrated with this in the Linux world too - trying to get proxmox to play nicely with P/E is a nightmare. The OS scheduler side of things is a PITA

You can - and you’ll readily find (as is expected and forgivable from a low run, low R&D budget machine) the build quality is abysmal next to the Mac. The case is flexy, the battery lasts a fraction of the time, the trackpad is nowhere

I’m not sure why money / earnings are stated. I live in London, UK, pay for two SIMs (due to contention everywhere) and still have horrific bandwidth in London. My folks do extremely well and have awful bandwidth due to location. Where

But that’s not seen at the sensor - at least not at once - look at the sun and then look immediately at the dark sky moon (if it were possible) - the only reason you get the detail on the moon is the aperture in front. You couldn’t see the

I remember patching a bug in Android about 13 years ago which caused USB to not enumerate past the 1st device on a bus in certain circumstances for some reason. It was a hard coded hack to get something to work, that presumably someone had

I’m not quite sure that was the point I was trying to make… more that the effectiveness figures often have “normal use” and other effects built in. To your point, people were promiscuous before contraception, and we are now in a much better

Is this not a similar argument to condoms / birth control effectiveness? Condoms are 100% effective if used properly and they don’t burst. The failure proportion is primarily misuse. You build in the misuse / other factors into th

I think your definition of VPN is a very recent consumer misappropriation. VPN = Virtual Private Network. It’s (historically) a way of tunneling segregated / encrypted traffic over another network - generally to allow access to another

I’m confused - how are they paying import duty on them if they’re not regulated / allowed in the first place?
