This is a picture from the quake in 2012 that hit southern New Zealand

From seeing images like this, I expected a dust cloud too

OP appears to be in the UK, so potentially (no pun intended) one of 400kV, 275kV, or 132kV.

Congratulations on a successful one nightstand!

(seriously, looks great)

This I think is from their previous election: https://results.aec.gov.au/27966/Website/HouseInformalByState-27966.htm

An average of 5.2% (800k votes) not counting - called “informal” in Australia (as it is here in New Zealand), you might also see “spoiled”.

However the question is, with 89.9% turnout and 5.2% spoil, are they still achieving better voter engagement overall than we did in NZ with 78.2% turnout but only 0.6% spoiled?

You could probably argue either way; as some people definitely wouldn’t consider showing up but voting for no-one, will they check a box at random (and does this benefit the first party in the list alphabetically?). I’m sure someone has written a paper on this.

But you hate degens from up country too, huh?

Yeah.

And where exactly is up-country in space?

Sadly the one harness my boy hasn’t managed (or indeed, even tried) to escape from was from Amazon.

I’ll leave the link anyway, in the hope you can find something similar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C93LKV5F - sadly it seems to be from one of those fly-by-night brands so I don’t really like your chances.

You definitely want something a bit thicker / padded though, anything that’s just straight straps seems to get wiggled out of. I can see how the dog harness you’ve got (likely designed with a chihuahua in mind, where neck straps have to be avoided) is a bit too much fabric for a cat’s comfort though.

This said, the biggest expression of displeasure I got to the harness was the cats flopping over and pretending their back legs didn’t work.

Once outside mine seems to very much be a “sniffing the flowers” type of cat, just wanders around near the house taking in the new sights and smells, chewing on a bit of grass, etc. Being an indoor cat, even walking on grass seems to be an experience he doesn’t 100% vibe with. At least I’ve not had to retrieve him out of a tree, I guess?

I tried carrying him 20 paces further from the house and he just made his way straight back to safety. Not with the biggest sense of urgency ever seen, but clearly headed back toward the familiar: https://imgur.com/a/PawWQLT

Best of luck in your search.

There’s this range of Philips signage displays in up to 32" (~$1800 USD): https://www.ppds.com/display-solutions/digital-signage/philips-tableaux

They even run Android, so should be able to install the Home Assistant app natively. Being intended as a signage solution, there’s also PoE (although it is 45W 802.3bt class5), and even room for four 18650 batteries.

Notably though, they use the newer E-Ink “Spectra” (16 bit, 65,536 colour) panel which offers its full 2560x1600 resolution in both greyscale and colour, not the “Kaleido” one (12 bit, 4096 colour) of this Boox monitor that only has half of its 3200x1800 resolution in colour (Boox recommend using 1400x1050).

I don’t know which of the two panels offers better refresh rates, however.

I feel like “whatevs” is the default position of the capybara under the vast majority of circumstances, but your point still stands.

Except sometimes it pays off massively.

I had accidentally left the voice on for some reason, back when Google Maps’ navigation was fairly new here in New Zealand. Back then it wasn’t the easiest thing to turn off without pulling over and stabbing a bunch of buttons, so I left it.

Approaching a large intersection, it seemed it was taking the words on the street signs somewhat literally, as it told me

Signs for State Highway one-half

Indeed, the sign did appear to read “SH1/2”.

They’ve missed a couple of times over the years.

From LTO 1 to 9, the capacities (TB) were 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.5, 2.5, 6, 12, 18. LTO 6 also rather let the side down there.

Apparently though LTO 10 is going to get things back on track? I’ve seen claims it will achieve 36TB, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

The real problem is the environmental requirements for LTO 9 and newer have become too strict. The longevity is still (supposedly) fine, but the tapes are much more sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations when in use.

Brand new tapes have to be brought into the environment where they’ll be written for 36-48 hours to acclimatise before being used, and then have a 60-90 minute “calibration” in the drive before they can be written to.

Honestly, it could put the use of the newer types of tapes entirely out of the reach of many.

I can’t confirm or deny Ireland as the other poster says, but Iceland is a LHD country so the photo would have to be flipped if it was.

The ones in Akureyri are also more much more distinctively hearts, I would have said: https://i.imgur.com/ZHHvb3b.jpeg

The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.

Presuming we’re counting that, big fat goose egg.

I got one with crypto addresses for “donations” for the first time today. That seems to be a new addition, messages from 2, 3, and 5 weeks ago didn’t have them.

I have also received some “alternate” versions from pseudo-random usernames (ones not on your chart) from the sh.itjust.works instance. Mostly the same copy as always, but delivered entirely in an image rather than image+text. Thought that was interesting.

Rubbish trucks are a good example of this, often being drivable from either side (at least where I am). That allows the driver to better see their colleagues and bins on the roadside while driving in the suburbs, but switch to the regular position for driving to and from a landfill site.

Batteries are great for forklifts too, for exactly this reason.

For the same lifting capacity, a battery forklift is roughly half a metre shorter than a comparable LPG/Propane or Petrol/Diesel model, which really helps with the turning radius.

Also there’s the whole “frequently driven indoors” aspect for forklifts.

Assuming you’re not talking about this article’s 7.68TB drive and not the mentioned 61.44TB one, actually far less than you’d think.

Solidigm’s equivalent (https://www.solidigm.com/products/data-center/d7/ps1010.html) goes for between $1000 and $1500 USD for the same 7.68TB capacity: https://www.serversupply.com/SSD/NVMe/7.68TB/SOLIDIGM/SB5PH27X076T001_394195.htm

(And performs similarly, 14.5GB/s R / 10GB/s W, vs 14.6/11 for the one in the article).

Reticulated gas is charged by the kWh here in New Zealand. The meter may well be calibrated in m³ (I don’t have gas at home, so I don’t know for sure) but all pricing is energy, not volume.

For bonus points, if instead you buy your gas in cylinders - a pair of 45kg (~100lb) cylinders is a common installation for houses without piped gas - those are sold simply by the unit. The best conversion for that I can find is one energy retailer describing one 45kg cylinder as 2200MJ (611kWh).

I expect this is one of those things that is overall horribly inconsistent depending on where you live.

Fully committing to the bit, their cafe sells penis-shaped waffles: https://www.phallus.is/phallic-cafe

Comparing the amount of noise my laptop’s CPU fans make between the two of them when doing moderately intensive tasks like screen sharing a 4K display, Zoom is measurably worse.

Possibly the one time that Microsoft’s inexplicable inability to make their own software run well on their own OS has somehow not manifested.

Don’t get me wrong, it is still death-by-a-thousand-cuts terrible, but the most current iteration of Teams is not the worst in its field… at this one specific thing.

If you’re happy to accept at least another non-American suggestion, this sauce from here in New Zealand is very much Tabasco-esque (being a thin-textured, barrel-aged sauce made with chilis and vinegar), but in my opinion tastes a lot better due to containing a higher proportion of chilis.

Best of luck in your hunt for the perfect EU-made sauce, I hope we can help out in the meantime :)
