I have a Pocket and used it a few times but it's sat idle for a while now. For general casual filming, the workflow on a good phone is better. For anything the phone won't do well enough, use a proper camera. Main remaining use of

And I'd guess that they will have a bias towards whichever brings them more value, usually being the host. Like many others, I used to really like Airbnb and had great experiences, but largely switched to Booking.com and hotels again.

My younger brother was a full-time professional athlete (basketball) from his late teens until late thirties, so I saw a lot of his career progression and that of his peers. I think risky territory is to have children that are good enough t

I think the iPhone's video stabilisation/quality had a solid jump in the last few iterations and I wouldn't want to revert from that. I mostly upgrade for the camera functionality.

The articles I read about it suggested she had tried that. Agencies indicated that the registrar would provide a name in the event that the chosen one was rejected, but wouldn't tell her what that might be.

There are volunteer efforts in some places to spread the load in starting seedlings. Not sure how effective it would be though in contributing to an effort of that scale where you need commercial scale to make a dent.

That was my first thought at "270,000+ employees across 16 brands". They're not handling those people. They're paying multiple tiers below them to deal with those people. They'd be thinking of brands as units, and s

I agree. Someone in the leadership tier can generally get by longer without desperately needing to work; their house is often paid off, they get dividends from shares, etc. Down in the blue collar ranks, many of those people are scrounging

Could you have tried wicking beds? They might discourage the burrowing? I'm also limited in poisoning because the neighbour has a dog. Rats live in our compost bin and are tough to keep out. Possums here in South Australia are protecte

I can't see how you'd have a chance. Isn't that 3x6 metres?! Literally everything would have to be perfectly efficient and go right without weather incidents, pests, etc. And I think you'd still need to supplement it, or

I have seven raised garden beds in a typical suburban block, plus espaliered fruit trees. If I had to revamp to make a more concerted effort to feed us rather than just a hobby, I would build in a few things from the start. Probably at seri

I wonder if it's because they're so stimulating with minimal physical effort. So, after playing, you hit the real world where achieving anything useful takes mental or physical energy and the contrast is significant.

Wow. That's quite remarkable. 7kW here was under US$4,000 including inverter, panels, installation and accounting for government rebates (some sort of credit system that the energy company handles by buying your credits off you, AFAIK)

I imagine all that is pretty standard here also - South Australia isn't exactly without regulation or seemingly high labour costs. I used the same company at the office building and then at home, and each was painless. Approve an easy

What makes the install cost high? Where I live in Australia, 44% of houses have rooftop solar and installations seem to be done in a fraction of a day. Seems like a pretty efficient process where they bolt racks to the roofing iron and then
