Was redcycle ever effective? I don’t know much about it, wasn’t available near us. Did they make much impact on soft plastic waste?
I’m in country VIC, if they put this in the woolworths that just opened here, I’ll do it. Always interested in reducing soft plastic into landfill.
The IT Crowd is a show about a group of fools getting into ridiculous situations at work. It’s a good laugh and has some classic moments. My partner doesn’t make or get tv/movie references, but even she can drop references from it into casual conversation.
Big Bang Theory is a bland comedy that wants to be much more than it is - relationship drama, social exploratory, situational comedy. But it tends to fail 90% of the time, and the closer it gets to ‘relationship drama’ the more grating it gets.
I’ve been using smb protocol for years. NFS is great when it works, but something about my network makes it unreliable or inconsistent between devices.
Smb has never caused me any problems.

“With the instant availability of information, and content so easily obtainable, is the culture now a product that’s disposable?“
This quote goes back to 2007. 18 years later it’s not even a question anymore, music and the culture around it has become disposable.
There’s always going to be great bands and artists who have something to say! I’ve heard some of my favourite bands just in the last 10 years. But society is never going to look at music the same, it’s just something people tap on their screen and give a quick listen, or worse; just watching some idiotic lip sync to a 20 second excerpt of it on tik tok.
There could be lots of reason for not having sex:
Asexual
Low sex drive
Never found a person they could connect with like that
Being an awful person / falling into the internet incel category
Different motivations in life that they didn’t feel the need for sex
Medical problems - this could cover a lot from psychological issues to physical issues
Fear of pregnancy / failure of birth control
Strict religion
Nervous/anxious/shy/awkward personality (like in the film)
The system is set up to knock people down, for sure.
No mention of the Halle Berry/Jim Belushi classic, Race The Sun
When I pour Pepsi into a glass I put my nose over it and feel the bubbles fizz on my nose. I’ve done this since I was about 7 years old.
Edit: even better than listening to my dumb ass, this website gives a rundown of the common recommendations at the moment: https://www.hifioasis.com/advice/the-best-digital-audio-players-daps/
There are options. I’m trying to work out now what to get my partner who wants to stop using her phone for audio streaming.
Budget options, these are cheap and don’t use Android as far as I’m aware:
Snowsky Echo Mini (made by Fiio)
Hiby R1
Shanling m0s
Tempotec v1
Next tier up would be (and this is where android seems to become the default, but I think Hiby use a heavily customised version of it):
Hiby M300
Fiio JM21
Hiby R3
Then you get into midrange I guess you’d call it:
Hiby R4
Sony nw-a306
More expensive:
Something from iBasso like the DX180
After that you start looking at tech outside what I think is worth paying. You can easily find reviews from audiophile websites about all of these I’ve mentioned.
Probably be catatonic. This kind of stress, self-doubt and loathing require those extra 32 years of building resilience. Transplant it into 8 year old me and he just shuts off I imagine.
I guess hang out in a school bathroom and eat anyone who comes in. But only make myself visible to one kid so everyone thinks he’s a loser that believes there’s a tiger in the bathroom, and he’s too scared to go to the toilet. I dunno, that kind of thing I suppose.
Even as a kid that scene just made me think “why are they eating playdough”
I don’t know anything for sure, but always thought it was more likely to filter out contaminants in your pipes?
Do we want a Shadowrun future? This is how we end up with a Shadowrun future.

Agreed. I’d say Ubuntu is generally fine except for defaulting to installing snaps (which are terrible, the worst package management).
I’ve never seen a 2l bottle of it. I think 750ml is the usual one?
But the ‘please recycle’ thing I believe is outdated. Packaging now tells you what to do with components of the packaging, as an example something might say “Bottle” and have a recycle symbol, “Cap” and have a recycle symbol, “Foil seal” and have a bin symbol.
Tetrapaks will have the recycle symbol but say under it “Check locally”. Well when I looked into that there’s almost nowhere in the country that accepts recycling of tetrapaks.
Anyway. I got an ice break a few months ago for the first time in years and I think it was either “Rubbish” or “check locally”. But I used ice break as an example because they annoyed me not using easily recyclable packaging like other flavoured milk bottles.
Contradicts what I said earlier I know. You got me thinking about it a bit more what I remember being on their bottle.
Cool remake. I played it as Ray I think, because I played the sms version to death so it was a nice touch to bring new characters in.
Like no longer thinking Bio Dome is comedy genius
