Too bad if you're already booked and the airline company changes the plane on you...

It's called speed tape, and genuinely is a thing used in the industry.

Fran is quite well known for her role in The Nanny, and a pertinent scene is one where she fights not to cross a picket (strike) line, and her employer forces her across.

So a lot of us who remember this scene are all having a little extra giggle about the whole deal.

At least here in Australia parents were using the kids at the playground to socialise (standing right up in each other's space, holding empty coffee cups to justify no mask), and so there were multiple vectors of infection. That and multigenerational households are more common in some parts of the world, so if the kid brings it home, whole family gets sick, hospital system overloads.

It wasn't specifically kids suffer so oldies don't die, but the continuation is that if the oldies are healthy, if anyone needs the hospital, there'll be staff to look after them.

TL;DR people are taking the piss and making the jobs of HCWs harder... Not like that's anything new 🙄

Nobara Project is another good Fedora based build for those wanting to try Linux that will work relatively smoothly for gaming.

You forget that in the States, they say "speed limit is X, so I go X+10", sometimes even 20. It's very common for comments to mention that the flow of traffic is literally 25% faster than the "limit" - it's like culturally so many USians treat the limit as a lower limit. 🫣

And you're on one his weaker books! 🫣

This link has always been helpful for explaining his books.

Unfortunately there has to be almost no side effects for almost all users, as there are no (as yet) medical benefits to male contraception.

In women, not being pregnant can prevent death for some of them, regulate painful periods, etc. - it is considered the risk of the myriad side effects is worth it because at least it does some good.

For men, who do not become pregnant, not being able to get someone else pregnant is not a medical benefit for the man.

And unfortunately hormonal modification does cause problems. Lots of them.

Stolen credit cards, buy legit keys, owner of card does chargeback, actual retailer is now out money and a key and can get penalised for the chargeback.

Might as well pirate it instead because the devs definitely don't get the money.

Acknowledging the truth means accepting that we're fucked, that even if we weren't individually responsible (maybe) we are still going to have to deal with the ramifications... And that's scary. It's far more comforting for there to be a secret cabal controlling everything and that really life is gonna be ok and you don't have to change anything at all.

I have them. They aren't half bad, but it is possible at louder volumes for others to hear.

Perhaps OP should get bone conduction buds, but that may make it hard to wear the glasses.

Don't worry, it won't ever get that far... Insurance AI would have denied the imaging request.

We went with their black and white MFC which also does double sided ADF scanning... and I recently had a bit of FOMO when a colour MFC went on sale (ofc, for like three-four times the price, and at that price I might as well just print colour at a local print shop).

Just not making them at all anymore. The few countries that are RHD aren't big enough markets for them to bother making the S and X for them anymore. We here in AUS are stuck with just the 3 and Y now, and any existing S and X models.

Alternatively, people with more time sign up and shitpost. I recall every summer break Redditors would complain. 🫣

Ex-cons might not be the best group to use in your example...

If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I'd probably drop them real quick - notably as the current iteration of fascists are intent on ensuring people like me are dead or ground under their boot.

On the flip side, just because I had a disagreement with someone doesn't mean other friends can't be friends with that someone - it takes a lot to be called "an enemy" of myself.

Rental car for South island NZ, MG Excite. Unfortunately we'd just had a hybrid in North island NZ, and had been spoiled by it's good fuel economy and responsiveness, amongst other things.

This car had a label insisting on 95, not just 91. In NZ, fuel is fucking expensive, let alone premium. It also felt like we were filling up every day or at least every other day, whilst back up in North island we'd filled once every three to four days.

It also handled like a turd, wired android auto was unreliable and crashed all the time so we had to reset the head unit multiple times a day, its driver assist was way too fucking interventionist and couldn't be disabled without being at a complete stop (said it could do it if below the speed limit but always said you were above it??)...

Just terrible.

But he GETS us, yknow??? vomit

Ah liter bikes surprising folks, name a more iconic duo... Glad you're ok.

It's precisely that they should be treated the same that I don't believe they make a good example as someone you wouldn't want to be associating with.

You shouldn't care that mates of yours hang with ex-cons, so there is no conflict to be had there.

I wasn't remarking on the incidence rate of fascists, merely commenting on their views.

Is that 5x actually better than the 10x in previous models? :/

MG is owned by a Chinese company too, right?

Are there edizon graphics cheats enabled? I'd disable those.

Depends on the disagreement... if the topic under discussion is as inflammatory as abortion or trans rights, I'm sure you can understand why some folks can't agree to disagree.

Quite a few here in Australia.

Given they can't seem to have a loader, I know they have to somehow trigger the Switch to know there's another game - but can you imagine having to do that several times to cycle to the game you want? The cost needed to repair the cartridge slot after too many pushes is definitely going to outweigh having just bought a Steam Deck and emulated the Switch instead.

Suspect they meant that when Tears of the Kingdom leaked early, a bunch of "Breath of the Wild" compatibility and performance patches came out for their early-access Patreon only builds. Or at least, that's what's been the scuttlebutt about the affair.

Did they stop hetero buttsex though?

Aurora Australis can be seen even in Northern Victoria, but definitely far better visibility further south.

Came here to recommend the gl.inet range. Folks love em on cruise ships for the same purpose as what you want.

I'm tempted to bring one with me to a hotel so I can bring a wifi enabled camera to watch my gear too, and not have to set it up with the wifi. If you need to authorise it with a web portal, often what you do is you connect with your phone (turn off random MAC), authorise on the phone, then connect to the gl.inet and have it spoof your phone's Mac.

They can also support VPN too.

You sound like you might be on the spectrum. Couple of things you said pop out, difficulty with hidden meanings being the big one.

Have you tried adding in the Suunto app, not directly from bluetooth settings?

There's some discussion of odd pairing issues here: https://forum.suunto.com/topic/9240/suunto-9-peak-pro-problem-connecting-to-phone-google-pixel-6/32

Everyone is going to die at some point. They're not suggesting hastening that, but rather not replacing yourself.

I have it happen with some image posts, and if I turn off my VPN it loads fine. Suspect the host doesn't like NordVPN.

Nah black. It was just shit wasn't it??

If I'm buying, it's physical. If I'm borrowing, it's digital.

Restarted my phone, but s21u in Australia - can't find the setting. I'm updated on everything on gplay and sappstore so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you even know what the hidden part(s) is, is the problem.

There was a way to root without blowing the fuse, iirc. And they even made a Qi charging back door. Loved that phone.
