The consistent line colour-coding and set platform allocations makes it super-easy to find your platform (and train) as a foreigner. The only issue I ever had was determining the best exit at an unfamiliar station. Pick the wrong one at a l

There was a cancer cluster at the CFA Fiskville training facility in Victoria, AUS. My uncle was station chief there for many years and recently died of complications after surgery to remove tumors. He was suffering back pain for a while an

I just used a different disk to measure the depth and a Stanley knife with a fresh blade tip. Get all nostelgic for those good old days when you messed around with the hardware.

This... You can get so tired that cooking a meal from scratch is just not something you feel like doing. Having frozen meals or being able to throw some pasta or rice together with something prepared earlier is preplanning well spent. And i

You're reading a lot into what was a fairly simple scenario with no mention of what the topics were. It came across as being an informal meeting with no agenda, moderator or stated outcomes. About all we can assume from the scenario ar

I've had a driver in the Brisbane CBD cross multiple lanes on an empty road and swerve at me when I was crossing halfway between red lights. Some people are just jerks I guess.

Inconsiderate drivers are the ones who need to be detected and sent back to driver training. They're the ones who try and pass when you're about to merge and leave you nowhere to go. I also find overly courteous drivers to be dang

Carol has to let it go. Worst thing to do is interrupt the current flow. She will come across as a "Barker" like she had sat there not listening to what Alice or Bob had to say and was just thinking about what she wanted to say ab

On the self-hosted side they probably make a reasonable amount on premium licensing for WooCommerce addons in the WooCommerce marketplace as well as JetPack & Akismet.

The truth is - to be agile you embrace Waterfall if that's the best approach for the project/team/client. Agile is about being flexible and adaptable in your approach in order to get the job done. Anyone who tells you it&#x27

I think were Prokofiev, Dvorak, Wagner, etc around thee days they would probably be writing film soundtracks. I find William's The Asteroid Field to be the pinnacle of musical storytelling. It hooks into the action (tight and fast thro

Funny enough a lot of film scores and more recently TV and video game soundtracks also follow that formula with specific motifs for different characters with variations depending on the scene. It's particularly noticable where you have

RedHat basically showed how you can setup an Enterprise OSS support business. There's also a multitude of businesses selling support licenses for plugins/modules that extend OSS applications.

Personally I listen to the likes of Hans Zimmer, Jesper Kyd, Garath Coker, Ramin Djawadi, Michael Giacchino, etc when I'm looking for orchestral/symphonic instrumental music. I don't think you could call them studio musicians

What is their criteria for selection? Are they working from the idea of a published piece of music that could be performed by any symphony, quartet, choral group, etc? Or is about what instruments it is for? I'm just not clear on what

There seems to be an overvaluation of the time spent typing. Does anyone spend any time thinking, researching, planning, designing or communicating?

I think you will find is that the process of an artist being discovered is basically the same as getting into YC. It's about the artist and whether they have star quality and are saleable. There are plenty of song writers to write the

Remember Matt's Script Archive? That was all Perl and covered a lot of the hit counter, contact/guestbook and forum software pre-PHP. My first website back in `96 also had some compiled C via cgi. No database. I've said this

I thought the advanced team quickly building a log cabin to sleep in was very Russian. I knew a guy years ago who kind-of described it as a right of passage that you would take a trip out into the woods and build your own cabin/dacha.

At these speeds there's more to be said about how good the tyres are. You can add more power and better aero up until the point where the rubber shreds. It would be interesting to see what the car could do with solid wheels on a salt f

Exactly. However, 300mph is a valid goal as that was the milestone Sir Malcolm Campbell also barely passed in his final world-record run in the Bluebird.

Wrong word - delivery rather than deliverability. You just want to know about the SPF and DKIM fails. Last thing you need someone on a self-hosted email server is running EDM campaigns.

I would also recommend setting up a dmarc record so you can monitor your deliverability. Spam however is still a hassle and you're never going to match Gmail or Outlook when you're small. Say it takes a few hundred identical spamm
