So powerful, an unequivocal argument for vaccination. Being born mid-1970s, I might have got peak lead exposure, but I'm so lucky to have got the measles vaccine (amongst others).

Straight to under 0.5% usage no doubt. Making a mockery of all the unpaid people who have committed code over the years. The Mozilla foundation have shirked their responsibility as a bastion against commercial interests.

Unaffordable housing, working 3 jobs, and ever-reducing social safety net are the ideal conditions for people to raise a family. I can't work it out.

I have some minimally popular answers on SO and for years my "points" graph has notched its way upwards. It flatlined at the start of 2024 as people moved to AI. The best thing about SO is seeing the competing solutions, the discu

My (government-funded) primary school got a room full of these, plus a couple of disk drives, printers and whatever networking joined them together. It must have cost a fortune. Of the handful of students I have since run into, 2 worked in

I figure the AI is a long way from understanding why the dev environment is pointed to the test database, while the test environment is pointed to the dev database. lol

It really is the strangest community. Clearly an ex-slashdot flavor to it like free the penguins and then someone will make a comment that right-to-repair "increases costs and reduces profitability" and shouldn't be allowed.

Cadbury and purple... These colours are their trademarks but I believe they don't own the colour in all domains.. probably just food? If you wanted to make a car company logo that colour you'd be ok?

AI responses need a source (lol, I know) or they just can't be trusted. It's that simple. Unless you believe everything you read on the Internet! They obviously are a step of evolution beyond search in capability.

My house is about 55 years old, originally it had 3 x 60W bulbs in the living area. So dark. Now it has LED downlights and 2 pendant lights - I added it up to just over 60W, and much brighter. I'll take the modern lighting thanks!

I just think we'd fly to another city, or even internationally for 17 hours, without giving the radiation a second thought. It's just not rational to worry about 1/17 of that dose, once every 2 years, when there is apparently

Australian here, and I will say that I fully trust my dentist. I have had one tiny cavity in nearly 20 years. X-rays are every 2 years, and it's to see between the teeth where they obviously can't see visually. I've been told

I think Whittaker's changed their recipe some time in the last year. Whittaker's was what Cadbury used to be (good) but now I think they have both followed the same course. Markedly lower quality. This is the 200g blocks fwiw not
