Home ownership is 2024

Absolutely.

As convenient as Amazon is for example, how is it fair that one guy profits off the labour of tens of thousands.

Just one example of how the internet has made some things worse, not better.

You suck in 1998?

The power that major tech companies weild combined with the addiction the vast majority of the population have to their products is telling me otherwise.

If anything things have gotten worse. Used to have 6 different supermarket bands in my town, but despite population booming we’re now stuck with a duopoly that has 6 shops between them (Coles / Woolworths) and 1 minor left over (Aldi).

That’s what I’m seeing as a 40+ Aussie that’s lived in the same town all that time.

I agree with all but hand crank drills. If you own a battery drill it’s probably stored with it’s battery and with keyless chucks (that don’t work on a hand crank drill) getting a battery drill ready for work is faster than a hand crank, and it will do the job faster too.

No idea what this is, but it’s buttery smooth.

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can’t run and no one is surviving that dish.

At this point I’m limiting what I access and where. I’m targeting a more 1990’s internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.

Do not search for this.

Glass is glass, and glass breaks.

Sounds like she’s rarely out never noticed you use it either… Which makes it interesting both because of the uncommon UI and workflow, and she has not had regular observations to learn from.

For those of us that have operated both it’s a non issue.

But think of how you’d go about it with zero knowledge. I bet most would try dialling the number without lifting the receiver.

I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

Cats are great pets and companions.

Can it make phone calls?

You ever played Receiver?

Not quite John wick but if you like gun handling it’s worth a look.

You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc… even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

Was kinda frightening for a PC game… And often all of this was under enemy fire.

The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn’t removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods… Always had to check downed hostiles.

Lol… I wish.

No… it’s USD$4 per 1 gallon of you buy the cheapest nastiest stuff money can buy.

AUD$6.10 for a gallon of the cheapest possible milk I can find within 30km/20 miles here in Australia.

USD$4.00 even… Again for the cheapest possible 12 pack 1L UHT generic milk.

If you want something from the supermarket fridge you’re gonna to need to start at multiplying that by 1.5 to 2x .

So USD$8 /gal might be fairly typical here.

127.0.0.1 is you

raiding it’s territory and kills and kidnaps a number of it’s citizen.

As Israel has done to Palistinians already for years?

But that just gets swept under the carpet when Israel does it.

Israels actions standing over the Palestine should have had them classed as terrorists long ago.

Hamas is no better though, leaving 2 terrorist organisations fighting while innocents suffer.

I’d be careful with that suggestion. Some external readers will only read SATA M.2, Dube will only read NVMe M.2.

Ideally you’d want I’ve is each or one that will do both for maximum compatibility.

Though most drives do seem to be NVMe now.

Any more info on this Eufy issue? A came across a camera system if theirs that’s having issues. Might have to read up tomorrow.
