I think there is no soft g in Japanese. Or at least, romanised Japanese soft g is ji. As an aside, I have done at least thirty searches in my last 15mins reading hn at lunch. I think I would bankrupt kagi.

It is a shame Adb backup is being deprecated. Even twrp now only works on some devices. Titanium backup has not been updated in so long, it still requires root and doesn't backup full data for all apps anyway. I have been trying out se

Agree and love the idea about testing.. there are no other inspectors (in oz at least) as incorruptible as fire safety inspectors. I had the experience a couple of years ago of working in an office with visible smoke from a meat smoker work

I grew up in Queensland too. There have been massive changes to the reef, and the whole coast in my lifetime. Even now it is a shadow of it's former self. During that time the run off from farming, mining and development has increased

Oh right, i was adjusting my language for an international audience. We call them dirt roads mostly here, I think on account of them being mostly dirt, though they often do contain gravel. Up north some of the dirt roads are so thick with d

I got it from a talk by a professor of public health, Jim Gillespie. So sorry, no links. Take it as you will. You are right, it was a long time ago. But the 1975 system was brought in the by the Whitlam government was only universal in that

>does "medical bankruptcy" include ... I had no medical bills" bankruptcy? Well, no. But clearly bankruptcies usually include multiple financial stresses. More likely, "i got sick, i had medical bills, i lost my job,

That might not be the exact mechanism, but the issue of medical bankruptcy in the US is very real. I have seen figures which suggest it accounts for up to 60% of all bankruptcies in the US. For context, before we got public health system in

Google maps often sends me on unsealed roads to save a few minutes, when driving in the country. Don't get me wrong, I love this feature but I can understand others would not.

I think the issue with the suggestion is that it shows that he thinks the more serious issue is the accusations rather than the assaults themselves. And.. maybe the NSW police could have used a consent app before they started illegally stri

Sure, but there is bound to be someone who sincerely believes that the person you imagined is themselves, and they will take up that mantle out of some peculiar mix of indignation and gullibility and no doubt, recruit others to their cause

I guess using KDE would be, to keep the analogy going, a Toto. It cleans the pipes before that shit even gets to the toilet. Though I do find the various ways you adapt your work flow to tools amusing. Like the file picker thumbnail rarely

Yes, quite! I meant to say, Hegel and Kant or Heidegger and Nietzsche. Agree about Hegel too, theres a lot of philosophers works I would recommend to give a miss and just read a synopsis. Hegel is in that list, Kant is not.

by cam_l 6y ago
Absolutely agree. And sticking with western philosophy, if you are suggesting Hegel and Nietzsche. I would also bring you into the (late) twentieth century with Deleuze & Guattari. But I also wouldn't recommend them to a beginner.

I make no such assumption. I merely suggest that the line between mistake and "mistake" is a deliberate step. It is a choice the management decided to take and were rightly ashamed of. Making an argument for 'misinformation c
