I seem to quote ‘Zoolander’ a lot

is part of the plan so if they lose the next election, the opposition has to spend 4 years trying to fix everything while they get called out for wasting money?

I never had any luck with zigbee USB dongles. All my devices would just continually fall over and it was a massive pain getting them back talking. Someone ended up recommending me the Zigstar UZG-1 which is a network Poe device, and I have never had a problem since. It has been up and problem free now for about half a year.

As it isn’t plugged into your device, you should also eliminate the issue trying to get it to work in docker

Pretty sure Apple has a few lawyers

In Australia, wheeling out the ‘high speed rail’ proposal means there is an election coming up…

it is always about the grift

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever… gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

The codebreaker/casino arc in The Last Jedi

They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead

Crystal Skull springs to mind as a close second

Maybe they think they have the one up on Apple this year and want to lead rather than follow… I hope it is something exciting, even though I am an iPhone user. Any innovation is great though I am guessing it will be AI related

I just added the curses to the normal text replacement settings in IOS and I have never had a ducking problem

I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm

I have seen a few… I started work at a young age as an apprenticeship painter for the railways, and when I was 16 I witnessed my first fatality and had to get down onto the track and cover the remainder of her body with a sheet, I saw another lady OD in a waiting door and have her boyfriend put her on the train and jump back off again, but I witnessed the OD… plus a couple of relatives

Many moons ago I worked in IT and telecoms providers would happily hand over plain text transcripts of SMS conversations. Blue bubbles for me

Love can hurt too… I am going through a rough patch at the moment and I sometimes wish I never knew love because the pain of losing it is the worst pain in the world… I don’t think that helps you much, but it is another side

Seems like he will just cash out and start biglytruth.social, and the other 5 people on the old platform will have it closed down

Even if he loses again, won’t he just run again in 2028 if he is still alive?

How often does it happen that the people who make such an effort to outwardly project something, is also hiding it… calling it, she is gay

When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work… I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.

When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.

I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire… it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.
