If we had to strap our TV to our heads, we'd gravitate to something that didn't require that. As it stands a "TV" can be a screen of many different sizes and configurations, it can even be a projected image. VR can'

It might be pessimistic to divide everyone up in such a binary way. I didn't know I needed to pick a side, then convince others to join that side.

Likewise, the statement in the clip neglects the baseline starting point of the object. I know it's comedy science, but "pie" is already a thing, as are apples. So "apple pie from scratch" refers to AFTER the apple

Yes agreed, and then you can go with a local web host - local to your country or city. And let's face it, cpanel or equivalent is fun to mess around with. Much more fun than github, zola and cloudfare pages! If the aim is to satisfy no

Yep, my details were part of the breach unfortunately. I hate Optus now more than ever. I left them 2 years ago but they keep my details in a database accessible to the internet? Why? Details leaked are name, email, phone, DOB, home address
