Here in NSW we have the "Stop Revive Survive" campaign and Driver Reviver: https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/geared/your_driving_skills/stayin... It is drilled into us that we should stop every 2 hours regardle

Yeah I think we picked poorly (the plumber recommended this one). Maybe there's a valve we can tweak a bit somewhere, I should look into it.

Ah interesting. I don't think I'd agree with that because if all competition is nuked and prices are nice today, it's still a lot harder to rebuild a healthy ecosystem if/when it gets abused down the line. Whether intent

I'd have to write on it where the bulb is installed, but good idea. For the amount spent though, it'd only be for curiosity.

> I like that iOS takes a heavy handed approach to the App Store and controls it completely. This is fine, even good as you say, but the problem is there are no other options. Apple can arbitrarily kill an app you rely on as a user, and

Oh I already posted about this higher up. Struggling right now at home with it. Maybe someone will make a non-stick coating one day that'll help, but the water doesn't dislodge anything that hits the porcelain, and sometimes the p

I'm of the opinion all bulbs say 10 years because no one remembers when they put them in so can't claim on that claim. Definitely think I've had some fail sooner, while others do go the distance. Maybe I need to keep a log.

We got new toilets at home last year. Without fail, I have to full flush at least twice for solids. They simply aren't strong enough to do the job in one go like the old ones were. Such a waste of water.

Also known as piece work. It has a history of abuse as you say. Such as the origin of the phrase 'sweatshop'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piece_work

There's also the question of using a SAX or DOM based parser. More than once, I've had to update a program using 32-bit perl from DOM (simple, fast) to SAX (slower but more control) as documents grew and the scripts crashed due to

I know an older lady who does this too, she just grabs beef mince from the fridge and feeds them every day. That probably isn't too harmful for them, at least it's not bread.

Since the current thread of discussion is operating under the assumption that it's a false claim, under DMCA, and a counterclaim has been correctly filed, the US Copyright Office summary certainly seems to say otherwise. What is your r

Yeah it's odd. I didn't like coffee much until I got a job stacking shelves as a teenager. I'd walk past the instant coffee section a lot. One day a customer bumped the display and a large jar smashed open on the floor. Clean

Magpies (unrelated to European magpies) are similar in Australia. There are stories of multi-generational respect (that is, the parents teach the next generation not to swoop and annoy the nice human). Wikipedia says they can remember up to

Important clarification, thanks. But we'll see if that holds up if "deleting" becomes past tense. This story probably got enough reach now that something will happen, as usual.

Going by your original premise though, just so you know the reference does indeed have examples of text as strings e.g. BT /F13 12 Tf 288 720 Td (ABC) Tj ET This can be extended to include spaces so you can essentially mark up entire l

I'm of a similar opinion but I'll say the format is quite good, but the many and varied implementations are often not. A common case is clients who use utilities that generate single customer documents then merge them into a bigge

And ain't that a treat when clients send us PDFs to sort, print, and mail, but the address extraction fails completely.

Yeah I had a lot of fun running Inferno Belial back then. You had to dodge every single attack. As flawed as the whole game was, I enjoyed that part a lot.

Well it usually has been when I've personally used it. There is the disdain of not explaining exactly what you are questioning with the implicit assumption you are questioning everything said. It's pretty much a stand-in for &quot

I did go to the gym occasionally, but it was more along the lines of pilates type stuff. Also walked the dog each day. So nothing crazy but I wasn't just sitting around. Somehow I wasn't even underweight when I stopped, but in ano

I actually ended up on ~1000 calories a day as a tallish guy. My wife asked me to join her on a meal plan and I forgot to look at the details. It ended up being about 3 meals a day at 300 calories apiece. A month in she let me know that I w

It also says "erodes enjoyment of the hobby they like best" though. That's more than just interruption. The difference here is probably one of degree more than anything, you can take anything too far.

Yeah I think it's a bit unfair too. Taking things apart to learn how they work is fun, it's part of the hacker mindset. I view FAQ and walkthrough creation the same way. Teaching is also the best way to learn or retain knowledge,

I don't know if there is a word for it, but I see it as a type of social bikeshedding. In regular bikeshedding we spend a lot of time arguing over minor factors because everyone feels like they can have meaningful input and contribute

It is really weird that this one word can't be said, even as a quote, even when invited on stage to sing a song by the original performer. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-44209141
