Some friend's kids came up to me the other day and asked if I knew the guy Weird A.I. who makes funny videos of songs on YouTube. It took me a little while to realise what was going on.

It's pestilence, but I think petulance actually suits Trump better

Arc has really changed the way I expect a desktop browser to work now. It's kind of annoying when I go back to Firefox on my PC now.

For Mac I use ARC browser. It's a bit different in UI than most browsers but it does some things I really like. It's heavily optimised for keyboard commands, and it has separate "spaces" which you can create and define (e.g. personal, work, etc).

Airports charge money to use the Skybridge. If you travel with cheap airlines then you'll often go to gates without bridges. It's actually amazing the things that airports charge for.

Fortunately he doesn't have to worry too much about Hamas because he's not occupying their land.

The next best time was 29 years ago.

One of my colleagues bought a model3 recently, he charges it in one of the charging bays in his apartment building.

Ok, so there's a risk of death. If I'm on a desert island then I'll risk it, otherwise I'll avoid.

Macrocephalic Seatweight. I guess it could work.

I know a few people who've done this. When they got married they decided they didn't like either last name so just chose a new one. In one case it was the guy's online handle - which was also a normal last name. In the other case it was a name from their favourite movie.

I think it's time we start publicly shaming Israelis and Jews who don't make strong statements condemning the murder of civilians and protesting the reckless-at-best and seemingly genocidal actions of their government.

Are you deliberately trying to use the same language as was used against Muslims 20 years ago?

I mean, it's not out of character historically.

In a true dichotomy they are the far better option. Unfortunately they were/are attracting new smokers. The rate of teenage smoking had been plummeting for decades and was only at a couple of percent - until vapes became popular and reversed about two decades of progress.

If you try to buy alcohol in Dan Murphys with kids then you'll get the third degree. If they're teenage kids then they won't sell to you. Meanwhile if I order online it gets delivered to my door and my postie just leaves it there.

Also cigarettes in Australia. They're not banned, obviously, they're just taxed so high that hardly anyone smokes them anymore. I'm probably a bit sheltered, but I'm genuinely surprised when I see someone smoking an actual cigarette now.

That explains why it's all commercial stuff now.... So I heard.

Yeah, I was on FTTN until last year and my connection was maxed out at 48mbps. I jumped on the FTTP upgrade as soon as I could.

I have over 100k comment karma (and much less post) and got an invite. It's meaningless anyway as I am not a US citizen.

Exactly. It might be that the content they own (that we have them) is worth enough for them to be profitable, but I'm not going to put money down now based on something that might happen later. They're not a startup, they've been operating nearly 20 years!
