My sister worked at a sorting facility. It is shutting down permanently at the end of the year.

Not a good sign :(

That's interesting! I didn't know that SA and TAS had separate ages.

Given the age of consent is 16, it's a bit stupid to include 17 year olds as children.

Fuck suffering. The system should be focused first on rehabilitation and second on seperating the person from society so they can't harm others.

The infliction of suffering does nothing to help society at all. It just creates horribly broken people in prisons and encouraging hate outside.

If someone can't be rehabilitated I see no issue in providing a comfortable isolated environment for them. Hell, give them whatever drugs they want too, who cares, just keep them away from society.

First thing I tried yeah, I tested a few and verified with a multi meter. It isn't that sadly :(

I have a motherboard in a state where it won't boot unless you pull and reinsert the cmos battery. After this it will boot exactly once.

It will also boot without issue if you don't have a cmos battery at all. This is obviously not ideal.

I wonder if these issues are related? I purchased the motherboard second hand in this state about a year ago. So it is far too early for this update, but it remains a mystery.

I absolutely paid attention to these things, even spending more on more efficient appliances after figuring out the break even time on the price difference.

I consider the power usage of everything in my home. I'm down to 300w idle draw from more than 700w.

I'm pretty annoyed to find out the star scheme is bullshit :(

Your idea works great as described. The system has grown beyond that though. Capitalists receive these IOUs because they own a portion of a company that owns a thing that neither the company nor the capitalist has ever had anything to do with. They receive these IOUs in perpetuty, but they never provided any contribution to the creation of anything.

Then you stack this a billion times, with IOUs servicing IOUs, amplifying the amount of IOUs, and skimming IOUs at every point from people who actually do the work, just to increase the number of IOUs held by a handful of people, until those people who contribute nothing, now hold the majority of the worlds IOUs.

This is fucked.

It's pretty obvious, it's right there in the name, capitalism.

Shit sucks.

Tofu is pretty good when prepared well. Very low chance of contracting some fucked disease too.

He should be fine, his Australian girlfriend should help him out with the normal stuff here.

One thing that might be useful, when visiting the US many Americans would express concern about Australian spiders. I explained that it wasn't really much of an issue, you just make sure to check for spiders before putting your hands in places, putting on shoes, etc.

The shoes thing seemed particularly outrageous to them. It's pretty simple though, you just look at your shoes before putting them on. Any spiders in there? Any sign of webs? Don't put them on. Easy!

Thanks for sharing!

I hope the creator makes this available as a kit. I've been wanting to build my own radio for awhile now.

I've been having a hard time deciding if I want to build a superhet or a direct conversion radio. This might nudge me more to the direct conversion side.
