Can confirm that our house spiders are pretty tough. A car ran off the road and into the front wall of my house spider last year and it barely left a mark. We still live here.

They are invading a country unprovoked . The country is made up of civilians. Weren't they breaking international law when the first shot was fired?

Airbnb has a place when you want to rent a larger property. This used to be difficult and complicated. As a general rule I agree though. Airbnb is pretty shit compared to most hotels in most places.

That was my comment about the amount that should be charged. I'll happily pay $5/mo, but not $15. I'm happy to pay for services, just not the amount that many want to charge.

I pay less than 5usd for a family plan, I just subscribed through a developing nation with a VPN.

If you watch ads instead of paying a modest fee to remove them then you're a clown. Companies do need to make money for the services they provide, I just disagree with the amount.

We used to use them for the same thing in Kmart (Australia) when I worked there 20 years ago. They were used to clear the float so you didn't have too much cash in the register. Now that 90% of transactions are on card I bet they don't use them anymore.

They work in tech, promotions are achieved by moving employers. Internal mobility is always terrible in tech companies.

I spent a lot of time in a few forums in the 00s. Many of them still exist but they are shells of what they used to be. One that I check into once a year or so has about one post per year - and it's normally a post asking if anyone is still there. The owner keeps it running as a memorial to one of the mods who has passed.

Me too, but it's better late than never

I get that people think that but it's a stupid take really. Hearing loss is a big contributor to senility.

Just on statistics, it seems unlikely that in the period of time that coconuts have been floating around that they would only have made it there about the same time as explorers. Surely if they could make it there floating then they would have much earlier.
