I remember seeing my first drone at a music festival in 2010ish. Totally blew me away, pun unintended

Which soap? I’ve been using Dove for everything for the past few years. Apart from the fact that it’s really handy for travelling I’ve never had any issues with using it as both shampoo and normal soap but maybe I’m doing it wrong and I should have dedicated conditioner and shampoo

Isn’t oat milk mostly vegetable fat? It’s really not very good for you at all, if I remember correctly

Edit: This is the thing I read

Wandering Turnip on YouTube does excellent videos about this

They’re probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don’t blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.

Either that, or it’s just price anchoring and they weren’t expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper

You can’t stopp the plopp

I think all these other countries only care about the fact that India has a burgeoning middle class and is going to become the next consumption led market. Everyone has too much of their own stuff to deal with at the moment, but they love the idea of huge cohort of new customers over the coming decades, regardless of who’s in charge

Not to take away from your post, which is nuanced and interesting. But I think the buck stops at the economics for most

The only way I have found to get reliable IPTV services is to post on local Facebook groups. There is invariably a few middle-aged guys who can’t spell properly and who can you “mate” who will know which service works best in your area and be resellers of said service. A few 24-hour trials and you can usually figure out what suits you best.

Blood and Oil is a fascinating book about the rise of MBS. They literally had a guy on the inside in Twitter in California who would feed them back information like this. Definitely not a boring book, it reads like a thriller more often than not

Surely this is satire?

I suspect that these big corporations were advised by banks and the government to scale back work from home policies to avoid triggering a real estate market collapse in cities by vacating expensive office space en masse. This could cause defaults by landlords and a housing crisis as workers no longer need to pay premiums to live near offices. An exodus from cities would crater housing markets, which would severely damage the overall economy. Thus corporations are only half-heartedly pushing for office returns to avert an economic crisis, despite the cost savings of remote work

She’s a native of Port Douglas originally so she’s been up to her ears in reef stuff for a while. Thanks for the response, seems like it’s a good spot for now

Hahaha, thanks

Plenty of good info there, thanks for the thorough response. I’ll probably go the live USB route, which I’d forgotten was a thing. That way any hardware issues should be apparent pretty quickly

Yeah, there’s definitely a big sunk cost thing going on too

Hear hear!

Absolutely, this return to office stuff has been an absolute gift for CEOs wanting to downsize, it’s the perfect fluffy PR way to turn the thumbscrews. Factor in the popular idea that you’re a lazy slacker of you don’t work hard all the time and you basically have public support too.

I’m sure plenty of people will just suck it up and view the past few years as an amazing break from office nonsense and commuting hassle, also like an extended vacation. But enough will jump ship to fill quotas

What version on Linux is most like Windows? I’m not a gamer and nearly everything I do runs in a browser so compatibility isn’t going to be an issue, but any time I’ve tried to migrate over it’s been a nightmare of weird errors and non-stop troubleshooting

Have you tried Pi? It’s pretty amazing!
