I look forward to future comics tying in this lore into the “anything could be cake” universe.

Fortnightly seems to be the norm here in Australia

Unless it’s Etymology Nerd, in which case the answer is “I made a creole of my bird and dolphin languages.” and it’s glorious.

Can recommend his videos, they are excellent.

This is interesting. Not a lawyer, but I’d encourage anyone in Australia to demand a free repair under Australian Consumer Law because the company bricked the laptop. I’d guess it would fall under the Acceptable Quality consumer guarantee, since the fault was caused directly by the manufacturer.

Not sure how you’d go about proving that, but you could then just take it to your state tribunal, like VCAt in Victoria and file a small claim.

Not a lawyer, not legal advice, but something to think about if you’re in this situation.

The Key Word is every month was a record setter. May the gods have mercy on us. We’re so fucked

I’m not saying china doesn’t have problems, but it’s this kind of attitude that sends us down the path of us vs them that I think is toxic and leads to nationalism.

I have no issue with people criticising things in other countries, just not be absolute about it.

There most certainly are many not fake things in China that are great. Friendly people, wonderful food, natural wonders (this and perhaps some others excepted, but still), beautiful villages etc.

Just as there are bad things too, historical and contemporary.

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

“Oh this is whack, the park authority/ Chinese government faking a waterfall? That’s pretty shit.” 👍 An opinion I think many could agree with and is a valid criticism.

“Everything in China is fake” 👎 No it isn’t.

I am dreading the day my company makes me “upgrade” my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they’re paying for legacy support for 10.

I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I’m going to pull out my hair if I can’t change the “see more” behaviour.

Also, I’m a top taskbar user (that’s where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)

I don’t know how they could fuck up windows this badly.

This is a problem I’d very much like governments to sink a bit of money into. Sure, we don’t have 100% efficient energy storage, but we certainly have technology that does the job. Liquid air energy storage, fly wheels, thermal sand batteries etc, can be installed anywhere and are available right now. Not to mention pumped hydro if you have suitable terrain.

There’s a lot of stuff that we could build, and honestly, we just need to build it, now, even if it’s not profitable, or super efficient. There’s a bunch of solar and wind around the world not being built, or curtailed because prices go negative when there’s no one to store it.

The free market sucks. We need government intervention to do the things the profit motive won’t.

The only issue is they have not enough storage capacity for the excess.

Something tells me this isn’t going to fly in Australia, unless they’re willing to be giving out refunds for bricked phones.

This is what will push me over to Linux too, just will be procrastinate a bit because I don’t have lots of time to work out all the kinks

Lol whoops

I realise I have Google account, convenience at the cost of privacy. Just irks me that it’s not opt in because if it were, their system would be less useful, and we can’t give people informed consent can we…

People’s right to their own personal joys ends at everyone else’s right to safety and not being killed on the road (especially as a pedestrian, like you wouldn’t be able to see shit in this thing).

Drive it only on private property and transport it in suitable truck? Fine

Physiotherapists use a form of acupuncture called dry needling, which can be used to trigger muscle twitching/relaxation (I’m not really super knowledgeable on it, I’ve just been to the physio, who use this in combination with massage, specific exercises etc)

It’s certainly not placebo

As for all the other claims made, I dunno.

Am I the only one who watched the video, and due to nostalgia upscaling my memory, could hardly tell any difference other than frame rate.

I should go look at the normal game 😅

Australia is also annual. We’re taxed annually, so it makes sense to us

Is this a joke? (I know it isn’t).

Why would I want to know the dimensions of the unfinished product? I’m not a construction worker, so honestly is there any reason?

I think it’s wild that the increase has to be legislated each time, why not just give the responsibility of increasing it each year to a government agency which needs to follow legislation to set it (based on XYZ metrics)? This is how it’s done in many other countries.

This and the worse right-click menu make me dread the day I have to switch at work :/
