  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    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)

    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.

    Unable to comment?

    Running IOS version, can post to the body of of a thread, but unable to reply to comments in any way, shape or form. Not even the option to do so. Not in-thread, not from inbox. Only options are report or copy text/link

    Definitely logged in seeing as the whole inbox thing....

    Also can't upvote/ downvote, attempting to do just collapses the thread

    Thoughts?
