My partner makes one! Go grab a copy if you're in Australia, the wonderful POP local -- started as POP Canberra -- sells them. https://www.poplocal.com.au/product/bum-man-colouring-book/ He's 'Bum M

At work we used to say that “security puts the ‘no’ in ‘innovation’”. H/t Baggott if he’s reading. ;-)

No! Are you wilfully misrepresenting this? You currently pay for unlimited X. Now you get unlimited X + limited Y. More.

I just took a picture from my own front porch of the street and the houses opposite. It said 'probably Australia but I'd need more info'. I said, give me your best guess. And it guessed Canberra, Australia. Where I'm sit

As an existing happy subscriber to Kagi, this statement is illogical. I currently pay for x. Soon I’ll get x + y for the same money. That’s better.

> Biometric validation is surveillance, plain and simple. Eh. It's just easier and cheaper. I'll bet Discord has outsourced this to one of those services that ask you for a face scan when you sign up to [some other service].

Random UK postage fact. Our postcodes are so specific, it's sufficient to write the house number and the postcode. We sent ourselves a postcard from Spain addressed to: 1 S_3 _S_ (redacted) UK – and it arrived.

Cursor: a VS Code extension that got itself valued at $10bn.

Pretty average dev here. It's not my profession but I do use it to make some of my living, whatever sense that makes. Cursor is magic. Two massive use-cases for me: 1. Autocompletion of a copied function. So I have some function, modX(

Except it’s quicker to navigate an interface using keystrokes than it is using a mouse regardless of how much RAM you’ve got. Compare a proficient travel agent who speaks Sabre to you booking a flight on Skyscanner. They’d whup your ass. h

I've been thinking about this a lot in the context of moving out of an old house that needs constant care. Will the next residents understand that the drip-watering system 'blows out' sometimes, and needs fixing? How did I un

Hmm it's just a turn of phrase. I would bet you $100 that no more than 0.001% of the population have heard of BPS. I hadn't. That's functionally "nobody".

I just cancelled my house insurance plan as we're moving out. Actually my partner did it, and she told me that there was a ~AU$50 cancellation fee. My natural instinct was to be ropable. But then I realised that I had actually been pay

Better than that is the Japanese 'Boss', which even comes in a very-Japanese steel tin. Great coffee that you can now get at most Australian servos, convenience stores, etc. https://suntorybosscoffee.com It's made

It's illegal here in Canberra, Australia. There's not total compliance -- people still stick an A-frame on the street, and of course real estate agents will always put something in a front lawn -- but there aren't giant billb

Yeah but that's like saying that there are so many "openings" in chess, it makes it hard for newcomers. That's the game! The 'inside rules' for a cryptic are what makes it cryptic . Without them you just have

At one point my store "does not exist". That's some poorly planned migration.

Sorry to report this doesn’t work well on mobile Safari. Tapping one of the items in the list causes mayhem. Going ‘back’ causes stuff to flicker all over the screen.

FWIW I tried this the other week and it did not ‘just work’. It just did nothing. Then I remembered I have Syncthing running on the machines I was trying to transfer between, so I used that.

In the early 2000s I was lucky enough to travel the world for work. I was a football nut and always carried a Sony radio so I could pick up the BBC World Service. I vividly remember turning it on late in a Sunderland vs. Newcastle match. I

How else do you propose they differentiate, given that the internals are essentially identical?

FYI my ISP (Aussie Broadband) will put you on a non-CGNAT subnet if you call and ask. Tailscale is a better idea.

Johnny here. This is the canonical example, and I quote it myself: is it `Insurance > Car` or `Car > Insurance`? In reality you just decide. One feels better to your brain. And you tend to remember that. It helps of course if you rema
