I see work vehicles driving around where they have spend hundreds of dollars or more to get a full wrap with fancy pictures and info and it has @gmail.com. And it’s not a one off, but seems to be common. There must be a market gap in helping people get new owner operated companies set up with email at their own domain.

The lawn is fine 😆, green and lush, would probably appreciate some simulated grazing!

Windows 10 has ads too. They started with paid suggestions of apps from the Windows Store popping up in the start menu, and expanded from there. Generally you could opt out in settings.

The ad I mentioned seeing was in this news widget thing that pops up if your mouse passes over the icon in the task bar. I disabled the open on hover but I don’t think you can disable ads there, though I’m not 100% on that.

I’m really not a fan of Windows these days.

I’m keen to see it fly! Hopefully they are successful in getting it launched this year.

And when it opens up, those are a bunch of clips that hold it together under the immense force? I presume a tiny gap and wind would get in, tearing it apart.

My only garden news is I have nothing growing and don’t want to mow the lawns.

In other cautionary tales about Windows 11, the other day I was helping my mum with her computer and windows was showing ads for giant pens shaped balloons. Yay for targeted advertising within the OS!

I may just be inexperienced at this but that looks a bit flimsy. Is this a typical design that will survive launch fine?

Who do you mean by we? I don’t know any boomer who isn’t right wing. I know very very few right wingers outside of that generation.

I have boomer family who have voted right wing their whole lives and got more leftist as they got older.

I also know people in their 30s that are out there campaigning for Act, full leopards ate my face stuff.

Generally the people I am close with are not right wing, but that’s more a lack of commonalities to base a friendship on. I think you’d be surprised to find how much support National, Act, (and even NZF) get in the younger populations.

In my experience they are happy with either. I normally just email and ask.

For something like a toilet, I’d think they would want you to know which toilet you want. It wouldn’t be unusual for you to buy it first then they install it, but equally if it’s at Mitre 10 or something they would probably be happy to get it for you (and charge for their time).

So I’d probably have a look online (or in store) at which toilet you’d like, then email them with a link saying you want to get this toilet and ask if you should buy it first or if they would order it in.

Cozens, who is self-represented

That tells you about the chances of winning.

I seem to have started something. The other day my 4 year old was cold, so I suggested they get dressed under their blanket. Now every day starts with 20 mins of said 4yo struggling away trying to get dressed under the blanket and refusing any help 😅

I didn’t realise there were so many voice options if set to US English!

I’ve updated to use Davis (whispering), will see if anyone notices.

Ah well, it’s been the law here for 20 years.

I’m also reading about how our NZ/Australia socket was based on an American 125v socket design, later upgraded to allow 240v.

Does NA not have insulated pins? Where a half inch of so of the pin nearest the plug head is insulated so when plugging in the exposed part of the pin is inside the hole before the pin makes contact with live power?

Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.

The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.

Yes, I get paid a very respectable number of memes for my monthly salary.

But if you can taste the coke, doesn’t that mean you don’t have enough alcohol in there?

Replicators?

Edit: Trek not Gate.

I played BG3, put over 100 hours, it took me 2 years. But I don’t mind, it was an easy game to pick up after a break and continue with, and the quests were rewarding in themselves, you didn’t need to complete the whole game to understand it.

There are definitely games I have started played, then couldn’t remember what I was doing after a break and wasn’t enthused enough to return to it. I can’t remember specific games but I know it happens.

Sometimes I need to open Firefox and Jetbrains IDE at the same time, and then my laptop chokes.

I have all sorts of background programmes, docker containers, and typically 5-10 foreground programs open. My laptop doesn’t like me 😅. Or it does now, that I just increased the RAM by x4!

I play them because I enjoy them. You can normally pick out the main storyline and just follow that.

Personally I just play a long game over the course of a couple of years.
