I’m guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

Yeah I assume the reason there isn’t is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

I’m lucky my brother and a couple of friends are on a similar journey and go to the same gym at the moment. On the grind as soon as I get back from Thailand (Thai food is too good to calorie count.)

It is a little annoying to see the volume of food they can eat but it’s always going to be annoying. I’m a little taller than average so my maintenance is closer to 2100 at the moment but I still look at my brother needing 2700 and get jealous. At the end of the day you’d both be hungry eating under your maintenance.

It’s the plagues.

Great job maintaining! I’ve managed to creep back up right at the 5 year mark after 3-4 years of decent maintenance. But if I can put it on, I can lose it.

I think that for me it is sometimes good to feel proper hunger because I often just eat so frequently that I won’t feel it for a long time. Allowing myself to feel hunger is then a healthy thing because it allows me to redistinguish between actual hunger and my stomach just having more room. I wouldn’t want it on a regular basis though.

A lot of romance novels. Not too surprising I guess.

So it’s for US tourism only?

I haven’t heard it called this before but I agree with others that the general concept is a good idea. We are far too quick to jump to the next processor, the next monitor etc. when those things can realistically last a very long time before hitting too much of a performance limitation (especially for people who don’t render anything like high games or video editing.)

Sidenote: I love the little arrows you had for links, how did you achieve that?

There’s an app that does this pretty well called Ground News. For a given topic it will show the coverage across the political spectrum. However, I didn’t think that this community was limited to English? Either way, I guess you could start putting one together.

I’m pretty sure it just doesn’t suit New Zealand right now to call him a dictator, especially with a visit coming up in a week. Australia and New Zealand have to occupy a precarious position because they are European/Western in nature but obviously closest to the Asian powers. Therefore they have to try and be besties with the US whilst staying ok with China.

Conversation about hot topics is going to happen no matter what. As long as it stays respectful I think it’s ok.

Guess I stand corrected then.

Controlling input devices is a massive PITA it turns out. What would be been a couple of lines with xinput involved a massive (to a beginner at least) stuff around with config files. There should be a GUI way to turn off input devices.

Warns? It’s been going on for decades.

To be fair there was no one tracking the migrant boat because they were crossing illegally. We knew the sub went missing basically as soon as it did rather than when people started spotting bodies. In situations where migrant boats are found before/in the midst of sinking help is sent (although after that it’s probably a trip to the detention centre.)

I’ve heard that since it’s in international waters he was able to skirt most regulation on subs.

The Greek shipwreck is an unfortunately common tragedy. Whether in the Mediterranean or elsewhere migrant bodies frequently wash ashore. The Titanic story is something novel, and I think at least partially people see it as something justified for adventure tourism exclusive to the extremely wealthy to end poorly. There is nothing to really get excitement out of from the shipwreck, it’s just sad.
