This has to re-balance at some point. The only way to buy a house seems to be to have an existing house to upgrade, or have someone die and get enough inheritance to make the remainder of a mortgage affordable. We went to refinance a month or so ago and an income of $250k was needed for about $1.3m mortgage (without lying about expenses)

Cheap second NAS that I power up every now and again, then I run a dsynchronize profile which replicates the important stuff (video), and all the stuff I could never replace I put on a usb and keep it elsewhere

This guy seems like a bit of a dickhead

Wouldn’t this just legitimize the value? A fine for overestimating the value would seem a better punishment

Quite a few years ago I used eBay to find some of the toys I had as a kid.. a unique Matchbox car, some original trilogy Star Wars figures, some collector cards. I associate them with my childhood so when I look at them of touch them it takes me back to that simpler time and makes me happy

I don’t feel trapped into Google for search.. the fact is their search engine gives me better results than everyone else’s. It is not like they are restricting my access to others.

A few years ago my work had Microsoft staff in doing an SQL assessment and the guy doing the works spent a good 5 mins trying to find a Microsoft article in Bing. Eventually he asked me to look away, switched to Google and found it as the top result. I asked why he requested I look away and he said it was against their rules to use Google lol

How about any SUV with huge towing mirrors permanently fitted and extended to their max?

Crystal Skull for me.. the first 3 Indiana Jones movies are near perfect, but all in different ways.. but the thing that ties them together is action, adventure, a simpl-ish story, some treasure, and they are beautiful. I was so pumped for Crystal Skull.

I was away for work, had a free night and there was a cinema a stroll away. I got a 6 pack of wild turkey and coke and started walking only to find it was about a 90min walk.. I was 6 turkeys deep but this was going to be magical, right? Nope, it was the biggest disappointment of a movie I have ever seen, then I had to walk 90mins back to my hotel reliving it.

ACT is a territory, therefore can have their own/different laws that exist under the umbrella of federal/ STATE system the rest of Australia falls under

‘High profile’ doesn’t always means a celebrity.. keep that in mind

Not that I am interested in one, but if I was after something that Meta sold, I would buy something else

Your country seems inches away from imploding :0/

Do you think we will ever see the opposite news story? The one where the world had banded together to achieve something great and met some target in the negative?

Before Covid I was wearing redwings as my daily and they were so comfortable, bought a second pair in a different style (which is a big investment for me) and then Covid hit and now I spend 90% of my day in Ugg boots, socks or no shoes.. oh well, I think I have a lifetime worth of boots there

If I look at what Windows 11 is, its features and the new features, I honestly can’t work out who Microsoft’s target market is anymore.

With the pricing for AI, I can’t even work out which enterprises would consume it.

Imagine trying to navigate the patent minefield when developing something like a modem

over the last 15 years or so I would have spent $10k on mattresses of all types.. inner spring, micro spring, full latex, a mix of above.. all end up with body indentations that cause back pain. In the end I bought a cheap mattress in a box (Koala Brand) that is hard as a brick and a latex topper, it has been wonderful

Calm down buddy, a no vote isn't always going to be a vote for racism and this is shown by the fact that many of the indigenous people can't agree that this is a good thing, or even agree with each other. A no vote can also be a vote of uncertainty and due to history of political failures
