You suck in 1998?
The power that major tech companies weild combined with the addiction the vast majority of the population have to their products is telling me otherwise.
If anything things have gotten worse. Used to have 6 different supermarket bands in my town, but despite population booming we're now stuck with a duopoly that has 6 shops between them (Coles / Woolworths) and 1 minor left over (Aldi).
That's what I'm seeing as a 40+ Aussie that's lived in the same town all that time.
I agree with all but hand crank drills. If you own a battery drill it's probably stored with it's battery and with keyless chucks (that don't work on a hand crank drill) getting a battery drill ready for work is faster than a hand crank, and it will do the job faster too.
Nothing. Just a misunderstanding that blew up.
No idea what this is, but it's buttery smooth.

Run? WTF you on about? Dead men can't run and no one is surviving that dish.
Melbourne can go either way for Christmas Day.
This year pissing rain and thunder, top of 21c and 75% humidity round my area.
I'd rank it 3.6
Not terrible, but not great.
At this point I'm limiting what I access and where. I'm targeting a more 1990's internet experience. I love learning and technical stuff and would miss it if I went off grid, no matter how tempting that is.
Very rarely do I have a positive view on posts in this com, but this is a rare exception.
No mindless, pointless, circle jerk hating, but rather a positive and legitimate wish and view toward an alternative.
People can hate on cars so they want, but since people and places end up making cars nesecary.
Earlier this year I needed to go Melbourne to Albury, usually a trip done in a car, but this time I had use of a car at the other end so I took the train. Was a fantastic trip. Access to a small food bar, toilets, the occasional stop at more significant towns.
Trains kick ass.
I'd love to see a better in town solution for transport, buses and whatever both in Albury and my home town aren't really up to scratch yet.
Motherboard is fine.
Corsair AXi 850w PSU is what you need.
Do not search for this.
Glass is glass, and glass breaks.
Absolutely.
As convenient as Amazon is for example, how is it fair that one guy profits off the labour of tens of thousands.
Just one example of how the internet has made some things worse, not better.
