You lucky bastard. Where I live it's basically monthly or fortnightly. I've never heard of anyone being paid weekly.

"With YouTube Premium, enjoy ad-free access, downloads, and background play on YouTube and YouTube Music."

In Australia, if they reneg on this headline promise, doesn't matter what's in the fine print, this would be refundable under Australian Consumer Law (not a lawyer).

What bullshit, and how silly on their part, since it's just so much more convenient to block ads instead of paying

Yes, but please voting reform at the same time. I do not enjoy this rollercoaster where we vassals of the US cross our fingers and hope the nut jobs don't get into power.

And then they do.

Please for the love of God, make voting reform the number one issue above all else, because it affects all else.

This is a solved problem in Australia. You put the parties next to the candidates names to assist where people don't want to learn about the individual candidates in their location, and people hand out "how to vote" cards at the polling places for how their party prefers the others parties.

People who don't have their own opinion on anything but their first choice use that as a cheat sheet.

There are solutions for the lazy and disengaged.

You are aware of first past the post right? That really needs to be the first thing on your agenda to get fixed. Until then, the USA will ALWAYS be a two-party system (with brief blips in change over).

It hurts me that people don't realise you know where the sun rises and sets (roughly), anywhere, by looking up and roughly knowing what time it is. Other than midday, then fair enough.

I don't like the overall message society gives that men need to be "good at sex" instead of people mutually enjoying the experience.

To me it's akin to someone calling you boring to talk with, while they contribute nothing to the conversation other than showing up.

Please think of your family haha: https://www.wikihow.com/Enable-the-Double-Tap-Period-Shortcut-on-an-iPhone Or https://www.techbone.net/android/user-manual/double-space-full-stop

If you use a different keyboard, then you're on your own.

Or just don't double tap space!

Funnily enough, this is the case for men too. Hence all the "this has never happened to me before" memes on TV shows in the 90s and 00s.

"just as many"? Press X to doubt. I don't doubt you've heard some, but people just don't care about cat breeds in the same way people care about dog breeds.

Hence the meme

While it wouldn't solve climate change, it would certainly make it easier to play Minecraft without OP players.

0_0 I take it you do the lion's share of the finances haha

The only numbers I will ever spell are one and zero, and only when using them as a pronoun, or for emphasis, respectively.

Is there ever a reason to not to use symbols when dealing with numbers? Why would "fourteen whatevers" ever be preferable to "14 whatevers". It's just so much easier to read numbers as symbols, not spelled out.

(Caveat, not including multipliers, like "273 billion").

How many times do you think about the Roman Empire per day?

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?

Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google's Australian store. I have no creditors.

Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?

I don't even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?

Edit 1: You can check it's installed (~~stock~~ Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search "DeviceLockController".

I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it's amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.

Especially when there's some mad person with a folder where they put ALL their markups, correspondence and revisions in the same folder, with no sub folders 🤢.

 

While you're madly running about getting the store ready and dialling in the coffee.

And they're mad that you're not open before the opening time...

Saw that this hasn't made it over during the Reddit migration so have decided to start it myself (ChemEng).

Engineers and all others welcome, architects too if they enjoy some bants.
