It’s commentary like this that leads to so much industrial equipment (printers, scales, barcode readers, PLCs etc) still having RS-232 on them.
And dammit, you’re right, that stone age shit just works.
Category C (semi auto .22LR + miss-categorised shotguns) is for farmers.
Category D (centre-fire semi auto + miss-categorised shotguns) is for specialist pest controllers.
Professional hunters tend to use Category B (manually cycled bolt/lever/pump centre-fire).
You’re not wrong, I just wanted to add more info.
There’d be like a thousand people that qualify in the entire country for a real Category D.
nationalsecurityjournal.org looks like a propaganda outlet.
How do you even check the bonafides of a random site like this?
It should go without saying that this was done by loving carers who had the best interests of the animal in question at heart, not coloured by anything crass such as financial considerations - yet here I am.
There are lions at Monarto, a short trip up the freeway and I’ve heard the question of why she wasn’t taken there?
Because the pride would probably have killed her.
She was old, she would have refused to eat, then she’d become weak, then she’d get sick and then she’d have suffered until she died.
The keepers made a call, and as much as people might call this callous, others would have called them out if Amani was allowed to suffer for the following 3 months.
Rabbits, Cane Toads and Artificial Meat in a three way knife fight, winner gets stomped by the Emus.
The CEO of Vow, George Peppou, is taking a very different approach from these competitors. Rather than asking customers to pay $71 a kg for frozen shredded “chicken”, he says the company is embracing the high cost of cultivating cells by creating products to match the price.
“We selected going with these very high end products, very high end positioning … as a way of trying to shape and influence food culture as much as possible,” he says. While foie gras prices fluctuate significantly, at the time of writing Vow’s Forged foie was cheaper than the real deal.
I like this, just like how Tesla’s first release was a roadster - it’s not supposed to replace a Camry, why make a Camry with half the range and 4 times the price?
Start at the expensive end, match the quality and then work down.
About 200 Australians have money.
Almost a quarter of it.
I’ve read that enough youth are just taking the surcharge and loading on the chin that insurers have started to worry.
I’m not young, but I’m doing this.
My tiny ideological stand.
Me: Hi, I need some high quality components, you know better than office stuff, and I’m willing to pay a premium. Company: Great, we have a huge range. And as a bonus we’ve covered EVERYTHING in LEDs! Me: Err, can I get the good mechanical switches and silent fans without LEDs? Company: Ooh, that’s a SPECIAL item! 3x the price!
Back in 1909 The Protectionist Party and Anti-Socialist Party put aside their differences to take on the Labor party, which was seen as Socialist.
The founders wanted freedom (Liberty) from what they saw as Labour Union dominion.
Funnily enough, an actual Libertarian party has since popped up and the Liberals challenged their name with the AEC, which as I said is funny because the Electoral Commision correctly pointed out that if ANYBODY has an incorrect name, it’s the Liberals.
It needs to be mandated that if you own a rental, it will have a battery and solar setup of a minimum size.
Otherwise renters are a key demographic that will miss out on this.
By the end of Trump’s term
So, when he dies?
Because if ever there was US president who intends to try for “President for life”, it’s this guy.
This is fantastic.
Tradie doesn’t want to be watched while they work.
I want to learn by watching, so I’ll hire someone else.
We both get what we want.
I can’t think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn’t find one).
If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie…) it will have a built in function in it’s settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).
If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don’t have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don’t want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.
There’s venison farms.
I don’t know how many or where.
Theoretically all the ferals are escapees, as they have never been officially released (unlike rabbits, foxes, cane toads etc).
Regulatory Capture.
The government didn’t want to be in charge of this, so they’ve offloaded the responsibility (and the power) to a private organisation, in this case the Game Management Authority.
The GMA aren’t all bad, they are also a primary driver behind the protection of native waterways (that just coincidentally happen to be duck shooting spots).
As a shooter, I have complex opinions about groups like the GMA and SSAA that theoretically exist for my benefit.
Deer are a point of division in the hunting community.
I don’t know the rules for all the states, but I can highlight the different approaches different places have with just 2 examples.
In Victoria, they only want to hunt deer “sustainably”, so they have recognised “Deer Habitats”.
It’s also illegal to hunt them at night with a spotlight (the easiest method, they’ll literally stand still and look at the light) or use a thermal scope (which of course helps silhouette a naturally camouflaged animal), even during the day.
In South Australia, we have shoot on sight laws - as in you’re legally obliged to attempt to humanely kill feral deer when possible.
Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?
This is basically a botspam talking point.
It doesn’t matter.
If you’ve got bad cables, you should do the same thing you would do with a bad iPhone cable or any other cable that no longer serves its purpose - recycle it.
Now buy another cable that’s actually good, if you don’t know which one that should be, maybe find out which ones your phone provider sells.
This is a self correcting issue over time.
Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.
Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That’s the rarer event - normally it’s more like “the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it” and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won’t be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.
Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.
I’ll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.
I think the feel from the Devs is that there isn’t enough new functionality to justify the major version bump, this primarily being a reimplementation of existing features.
BUT, I agree with you, it should definitely be V11 under the semantic versioning scheme.
Whilst there is a migration path here, the database changes under the hood alone are likely to break backwards compatibility with all plugins (with in-house plugins being upgraded in sync).
Such breakage is kind of the defining characteristic of a MAJOR version.
