Imma gonna call him winnie the pooh all I want and you can't stop me
No, i'm not missing your point.
And alpha radiation, which has next to no penetrating power.
gutteral UT dialup laughter
I'm not American, so it took me a while to parse wtf you were on about!
X here as well. But 78. So i got to take advantage of the digital age without having my teen stupidity immortalised on it. Truly the sweetest of spots.
I legit have an acquaintance 15 years my junior regularly begging me for the the best torrent sites. And they're pretty savvy for their generation
Younger millennials down have had their exposure be primarily gardenwalled, locked down equipment. Tablets and smartphones and apps, oh my! The sort of thing that discourages casual exploration and experimentation.
They are fuckin' skin masters though.
I would but i'm too busy blowing on my atari carts
Typing was taught to boomers and genx first dude. In fact, as a liminal i'd readily say i've had an arseload more typing "teaching" than you have - both keyboard and typewriter- and i'll wager my mother in the age of typewriters had even more.
Mousehair eyebrow wigs
I think the US is the longest modern democracy, but it's a very narrow margin comparatively speaking - it's only got something like 30 years on Norway and the Netherlands, which are vastly more stable
Given that measles can cause fucking immunity amnesia you should be terrified .
Much as i like a good ol' musk bootin' lets not allow him to become the scapegoat.
A whole fucking political party enabled this shit.
Fem here, if i am absolutely busting for a whizz and the toilet is occupadi with no signs of immediate vacating i will go in the bathtub and hose it out afterwards.
Dude.
Ok. first of all all the litter is scooped out first. You're basically scrubbing a flat tub in the shower. Do you think litter and turds are being dumped out on the floor and hosed down the drain??
Secondly that shower has seen a lot fuckin' worse than some litter dust.
Man, you should try being an aussie. We're simultaneously a glint in Britain's eye and old as balls
My country is technically 124 years old, i live walking distance from a goddamn seven thousand year old farm
So did they, "byzantine empire" is a modern conceit
Even that's a very obvious fallacy though
Ohhh a whole lotta conservative politicians worldwide about to have some very very bad days
I have marker pens and led dims so...no

I made a spreadsheet on info and pricing for every mobile plan in Australia (that I could find)
Made a spreadsheet of mobile plan data so people could compare providers and plans easily. I plan to update it either yearly or every 6 months. This was inspired by this spreadsheet on all the NBN plan pricing information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_wnaTFb_3QsdgZfKDrEO6D_Rpzt2clbB/edit?gid=1523306688#gid=1523306688

Sustainable Plastic Solutions becomes world leader in farm waste recycling
In just over two years, their small Hamilton-based business, Sustainable Plastic Solutions, has reclaimed 3,000 tonnes of plastic and has created a world-leading closed-loop circular economy for grain tarpaulins.
They've just received a federal grant for matched funding of $9 million that will expand their operations to 16,000 tonne capacity per year and should enable them to tackle the so-far-unsolvable problem of recycling silage wrap.
But in the beginning, it was all financed by local farmers.

Rotary hammer drill recommendations
ok, so looking to get a rotary hammer drill. SDS / chuck, I don't care, can kinda go either way with corded/cordless - would prefer the latter, but well aware you lose balls with a battery.
I've been eyeing off the Ryobi HP brushless SDS (RSDS18X) but I think it's mostly the shiny factor and the fact we're already in the ecosystem - which I can happily toss in a bin if something better and cheaper comes along. It is the upper limit of the budget though, so call that a benchmark. Yes I will be shopping at the big green shed.
I already have two standard drills, an impact driver and a hammer drill, so as you can imagine the rotary will be used for situations where I am Done Asking Politely (and I have a lot of concrete I shall be negotiating with)
REC ME O WISE ONES

How would you transition this?


Marble outdoor to internal hardwood. House built in the 60's and i just spent ages clearing up old carpet tack and cement some dickhead had slapped over the floorboards.
It's not even, but hangs around 3cm difference between flooring surfaces. The surrounding walls are original bullnose sideboards in spectacular condition, so would like to be sympathetic.
Ideas? Suggestions?
(Yes i'm treating the rot and putting in a moisture break between the cement and wood)

Linux GUI termserv
Due to hardware reqs we're tossing the idea at work to replace the Microsoft termserv with Linux. Due to the userbase being all windows fans we'd need a full on GUI and i've been prodded towards Mint. Good idea or bad?
I've happily set up a remote kunbuntu for my workspace previously, but accomodating multiple complete linux neophytes is giving me a bit of pause.
Bit more info: The current termserv is a debloated win10 machine with the multisession registry edit. However, it's on an R515 with proxmox (and running extremely well). Due to partner network requirements, we can't run depreciated software, and the box won't support win11, and frankly, I sat the boss down and asked him if he wanted to be microsoft's bitch for the forseeable future and junk serviceable hardware. He's absolutely up to getting on a linux ecosystem, but the graphical desktop environment is non-negotiable on his end.

For anyone looking to retrofit SATA SSDs into internal Dell 3.5" bays....
Based on an r210 II I'm currently doing up
- Orico HB-325 3.5 to 2.5 inch Hard Drive Caddy - don't even bother. Could be useful in a CRU sled, but I don't have a dell one to hand.
- SilverStone SDP08B 3.5" to 2 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Getting better, but all four screws don't align in the dell caddy
- SilverStone SDP08B, 3.5" to 3 x 2.5" Drive Bay Converter Absolutely perfect.
random info I thought may be useful to others
