  • Sure. I promise not to buy anything from the USA today. 😆

    Looking around me, about the only things in my vicinity that came from the USA are my phone and iPad. And they were both purchased 2+ years ago. I don't think there is that much in my bubble that comes from the USA. Maybe some oranges or avocados at the shops sometimes? Whatever is on offer from the USA is going to be such a teeny portion of their export market that they aren't going to notice any action we might take.

  • Kid is 17. I fully expect the motive to be something stupid like 'inspired by movie character'. Even better headlines if its inspired by either a hard rock band or a video game character.

  • I'm flipping between this response, and @a1studmuffin's response - how the hell do you go broke running a casino? A state monopoly casino with no competition?

  • Yeah, I can appreciate that. I liked Serana however. She's sarcastic and sassy and can hold her own in a fight. She has more depth than the average NPC. Plus huskies!
    I hated that long quest through that valley with the urn though. It sucks on survival mode.

  • I rarely manage to get it quite empty. If I can see all the inbox without a scrollbar, I'm content enough.

  • I've only ever had them both (also hearthstone) at the same time, so I can't really separate them. I enjoyed them both, though. I like that island is distinct from Skyrim. I find the ash depressing after a while though and look forward to getting it over and done with.

    I'm not a fan of the plane of oblivion inside the books, either. Some people love that aesthetic, I did not.

    On Dawnguard, I never liked the castle either. Also depressing and wouldn't want the vampire life. I completed the vampire tree for the achievement, then cured vampirysm immediately.

  • Quick thoughts:

    • The store name/URL is wonderful - definite winner, there. It's memorable and easy to type.
    • There's something really off about the models. If those are real women, they've been airbrushed into the uncanny valley. If they're AI-generated, that would make sense. I have no idea how you could go about fixing them, but yeah - that'd be my first priority in your shoes. Photoshoots and models are super expensive, I realise.
    • I don't know about the rave scene or what what the GenZ crowd in general are into. I can say that I doubt any of this stuff would appeal to my wife though. Possibly the red one? By targeting a crowd, are you turning off a large potential client base?
    • The website itself looks basic - like a template off square or wordpress or something. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd emphasise that you are real some more - ABN, Contact details etc.
    • The three things I care about as a customer are: Quality, Price and how long it takes for my stuff to arrive. I'm variable on #2, depending on #3. I'll pay more to have my stuff sooner. If it's going to take two weeks to come from China, be super clear about this.
    • As to quality, be really upfront about that. If the quality of the product is dubious, don't try and spin it as excellent quality.

    There's probably a lot more to cover. At a glance, the range of products looks really limiting. I'm at work and can't really be closely scrutinising a lingerie store, so I only spent about 2 minutes on the site. A wider range will probably increase the trustworthiness of the site.

  • He said the crowd grew as it moved through Darlinghurst, in Sydney's inner east, with many spilling out of clubs and bars into the procession.

    "A lot of people were just hanging around and joined the parade. [They] didn't know about it, but just on the basis that it was a celebration."

    I love this so much. A tiny start with a few people, a banner and a truck turns into a spontaneous party as they meander past the clubs. And look how big it is today!

  • I had to return my old Pixel phone, and while there was no store, the process was as seamless as Google could make it. They were pretty good about the fact that the phone was 2 years old when I ran into issues (I forget now what was wrong with it). It sucked that I had to use an old phone for a week, but they shipped me out a refurbished phone that was indistinguishable from brand-new to my experience.

    I'd have preferred the ability to walk into a store and have my own phone repaired/returned to me inside a day. But I felt looked after with the service they were able to provide.

  • wow. I had no idea it was still going!

    It is alive and for sale. I was an avid Ingress player in it's infancy days. I'm actually responsible for no small number of pokestops around Melbourne. The Preston strip in particular is mostly my work.

  • I sorta do and don't. I didn't know the event was on and this news doesn't change my day in any way.

    But if I were asked who I'd prefer to win in a(ny) sporting contest between Canada and USA, I'm picking Canada!

  • Can confirm that I bought blueberries in Denmark (WA town) last month in a cardboard punnet. I thought it was just what the local farm that sold to the IGA did. I'm glad to hear it's more widespread and potentially rolling out to everyone.

  • Don't take me too seriously, I sure don't!

    (I like to hope that I'm not - but that was just me being cheeky/silly)

  • I've never worried whether I'm a narcissist. Does that mean I'm a narcissist?

    Oh wait, now I'm worrying whether I'm a narcissist! But does that mean I am or not?

  • Agreed. If you can't load it without setting scope, then scope should be a mandatory parameter.

  • Answering this conundrum is probably the plot to a kids' book with twists and turns and set-backs etc. 😂

  • Don't get any ideas. We don't have any money to pay for people's shitposts here. 😆

  • Shout-out to my phone cover!

    It's a bulky thing, and a boring colour. But boy has it saved my phone. I usually drop my phone about once a month because I'm clumsy or whatever. But this morning was the second time in the past week and both drops have been hard ones that would definitely have cracked the screen.

    The screen is still good as new. This cover has been protecting my phone for over two years now. I heartily endorse it for anyone who can put up with a cover that makes the phone fatter than it already is.

  • issues importing the graph module

    Something about the module having >4096 cmdlets and and being too big to load? I hit this last week, it was most infuriating.
