On the other hand, this comment reminds me of a project I started working on midway through, in London many years ago, demolishing and rebuilding an operational train station under a 20 storey building. My first site meeting with the contra

Mostly, I will watch a movie a second or third time if I am tired and it's on TV and cannot sleep. So there is only a small intersection of films that I have watched multiple times and would admit to watching even once. So excluding th

My experience with having SD cards on all of my devices over the last 10+ years, is that provided I limit writes, they are very reliable. Hell I used a 256gb card on a very poorly provisioned surface pro as my main storage for a few years

I have heard good things about this one. But i think this one of those no root firewalls that uses the vpn, so I figure this means I can't use a VPN at the same time. An alternative android root only option is afwall+ which allows bloc

The avocado toast problem is that an average house in my city costs just over $1m (aud), while avocado toast averages $20. So that is about 45 years of eating avocado toast 3 times a day, hell even just getting enough for a deposit will tak

Sure, but I kind of think fines might be the wrong kind of disincentive for businesses. This breeds a cost-of-doing-business mentality. Lying to customers and breaking the law should be existentially dangerous to them. Perhaps some of the m

I don't doubt what you have said, and it follows my own experiences of politics in Australia. But i must say, when I hear the reasons why people vote the way they do, my estimation of their intelligence drops significantly.

I got an security awareness email from my bank yesterday saying they will never SMS or email with links to login or payment, as these are often spoofed by scammers. Directly next to this paragraph was a link to the login for the bank. I. ha

This is certainly DeSantis' personal motto. But it is worth remembering and repeating to yourself whenever you find a policy which has an 'unfortunate' and cruel side effect. Nine times out of ten, the cruelty is the point, a

While I don't exactly disagree, for my own personal selfish reasons, I would prefer to not use the "Big 2" apps. Mainly because my bank doesn't lock me out just because I chose to ~root~ own my device.

By that logic, if people work better jobs and they get more money then that must flow to landlords too. I don't see how producing higher quality stuff changes that metric en masse.. unless it's producing more houses. But I agree w
